ASK new Rates
Topeka JObbers Want Better
Tariffs Out of This City.

Taking of the testimony in the case
involving a revision Of the freight
rate classification for Kansas, will
probably be concluded late this aft
ernoon before the public utilities
commission. A number of witnesses
were called today to tell Of freight
rate complaints on various classifica-
tions.
That the state rates discriminate the
Kansas jobbers and manufacturers, as
compared with the general western
rate, was the claim Of several jobbers
who today told of rates on various
articles. Complaint was made by To-
peka jobbers as to the rate on cistern
filters. Another complaint affected the
rates on cars. Similar complaints COW
erfng sundry articles were made. No
demand wa3 made for a general reduc-
ton Of all freight rates and the COM
mission will consider only the demands
for an alteration Of rates on various
articles against which Kansas shippers
make charges of discrimination. in favor
nonresident shippers.
Witnesses today were examined both
by members Ct the utilities commission
and freight rate experts representing
the various railroads. At noon today,
members of the commission stated
that they believed the hearing would
be concluded late this afternoon. A
decision in the case may not be rem
dercd for several weeks.

this afternoon it would mean another

Two minor events developed into a
one-sided contest in each race. Once
the Harvard crews had gained the
lead, they set the pace for the full
two miles and the Eli never proved
dangerous, although they challenged
xamely at the half way mark. In
each case the Harvard oarsmen re-

the line in better physical condition
than their rivals. The official time

crimson crews.
