William c. Nelson of Dodge City,
Kan, who was registered at the Hill
man hotel yesterday afternoon. says
that the grasshopper has invaded the
westes n section of the country and is
destroying the corn and other young
grain with vengeance equal to that
displayed by the pests of Pharo.
He says that day or two before
he came east he had crossed to the
north side of the river and had seen
a number of apple trees stripped of
every leaf. green peaches gnawed un-
til bare stones alone clung to the
boughs. Corn leaves were devoured

and juicy stalks punctured until they
fell alfalfa leveled to the ground. and
fence posts plastered with millions of
the destructive insects.
Mr.. Nelson thinks that the destruc-
ton thus far is less real calamity
than a warning. The farmers fear the
loss of their forage and fruit crops
and a worse plague next year
For this reason the commissioners
of the various counties throughout the
state have announced a hopper kill
ing bee In the hope of extermina-
ting the pest. 1t is thought by the
farmers that in this way the greater
part of the hoppers will be destroyed.

Would Cause Financial Loss

The Louisville and Nashville officials in
testifying elaborated the system By which
the coal is handled here. They asserted
that in some points the reweighing of coal
would involve eight hours time at $3.50
per hour which would only cover the
cost of operating a switching crew and
an engine TO the coal yard back to the
scales back again to the coal yard and
then back to the company yards.
One track as referred to by Louisville
and Nashville men was eight miles from
the yards. To handle car for reweign-
ing that eight miles would involve travel
ing four times eight which would be 81
would be eight hours time for the rail-
road engine and crew. The cost for that
service to the company would be $3.50 and
that could not be borne according to the
railroad men.
They assert that every care is taken to
protect the scales and keep them in per-
feet condition. All of the testimony yes
terday was TO bear out the testimony
that the scales were modern, were ham
died by trustworthy men and that ade-
quate facilities were at the disposal OF
the coal men now.
The railroad men said that If they
must reweigh cars at the request of the
consignee after its weight at the initial
point without the 81 compensation that
a bad condition of affairs would result
1t was asserted that cars would some
times be delayed for days and that a
tremendous car shortage would be the re-
suit The commission will make the final
order during the winter.

Railroad Men Testify

The railroads started their concluding
testimony yesterday afternoon. The wit
nesses included E. H. Beatty superintend-
ent of scales for the Southern railway;
l.. SEWER general agent for the same
scales for the Louisville and Nashville ;
]. e. Sheridan. assistant superintendent of
transportation for the Louisville and
Nashville; T. E. Brooks, superin-
tendent for the Louisville and
Nashville; E. A. DeFuniak assist
ant general freight agent for the
Louisville and Nashville H. w. Wolf
general manager for the Southern
Weighing and Inspection bureau; J. H.
Doughty, general agent for the Frisco
lines, and j. e. Bush, district manager
of the Southern Weighing and Inspection
bureau. Mr.. Bush was the last witness
heard
The railroad testimony was practically
the same, all of it being an reiteration
of what the lines have always claimed
would result If the order is placed in
effect as drafted. The officials stated
that a system of delivering coal ship
feet, would be demoralized and there
would be delays of from four to five days
il the order is enacted. The railroads in
substance will not object to the order IL
upon request of the consgners the coal is
reweighed and the lines are allowed 81
IN compensation for that service. The
lines, 1t is stated. will in substance agree
that if their weights are correct the
charge is to be made and If the con-
signee weight is wrong the fee must be
paid. The lines have not denied losses in
shipments. but a vigorous denial was
made that shipments fell as much as 1000
pounds to the carload. 1t was stated
yesterday that only one instance was
pointed out where that much coal was
