ORDERED To KEEP
UP FREIGHT RATES
Import Traffic Must Not Be
Lower From Boston Than
New York, |. C. c. Says.

Freight rates on westbound import
traffic from Boston must not be lower
than from New York city.
This decision was made today by the
interstate commerce commission after a
rehearng of the so-called differental
case. which involved the adjustment of
rates on import traffic among the cities
of Boston. New York. Philadelphia and
Baltimore.
Differentials Long Maintained.
For many years agreed-upon differen-
tials were maintained by the railroads on
westbound import traffic from the cities
named. Boston felt that it was being
Disseminated against as port and ship
ping center, and a rate war was begun
by the Boston and Maine railroad in all
effort to obtain as low, or lower. rates
from Boston as from the other differen-
tial cities This war resulted, finally, in
the carrying by the roads of import traffic
at lower rates than applied to domestic
traffic and, really, at less than cost of
service.
Then the interstate commerce COM
mission was appealed to to act as a
board Of arbitration in the matter.
After exhaustive hearings the commits
sion established certain rates, maintain
ing generally the former differentials.
supplemental opinion held that the
rates on import traffic should not be
lower from Boston than from New
York
Shipping interests Of Boston joined
with the Boston and Maine and the
Boston and Albany in asking for a re-
hearing. and the commission granted
the petition ION the sole question of
the relationship of the inland rates on
import shipments destined to the So
called differential territory, as between
Boston and New York"
Another Rate War Was Faced.
In its opinion today the commission
points out that the commercial interests
Of New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore
and the railroads serving them strongly
protested against Boston having lower
rates than New York. The intimation
was pointed that if Boston were accord
ed that advantage it would result in an
other and more far-reaching rate war.
In conclusion the commission says: "It
is strongly urged that unless the import
rates from Boston are lower than from
New York it will be harmful to existing
conditions and make it difficult for Bos-
ton to retain the import business which
it now has. However much sympathy we
may have with that argument, we can
not make it the basis of a finding as to
unjust discrimination such as is prohib-
tied by the act"

NASHVILLE, TENN. Jan. 25.-A
woman's ambition to be a central figure
in senatorial society at Washington
during the incoming Democratic adj
ministration may be said to be respon-
sible, indirectly al least, for the election
of John K. Shields, chief justice of the

When young society belle she be-
came the bride of James ID. Cowan,

she inherited widows dover, running
up into six figures and including the

denying published charges of unfair
ness to Arlantas girls, graduates Of

said had been replaced with teachers
brought from other cities.
Mr. Slaton declared that the pub
shed article was erroneous and mis-
leading. He explained that graduates
from the Atlanta normal school are
required TO serve five months before
they are eligible to positions as regu-
.ar teachers. and said none of the pupils
who graduated from the normal this
year was eligible to regular position
until Yesterday.
