HAVE REACHED BOTTOM
Railway Freight Rates Cannot B<
Further Reduced, Says Prouty.

Chicago, Jan. 17.-Transportation
charges by railroads throughout the
United States are so low that they are
not a factor in the high cost of living,
according to C. A. Prouty, member of
the interstate commerce commission,
who delivered an address before the
Traffic club Of Chicago.
1.-The general level of railway rates
in nearly all parts of the country has
been toward a point where 1t cannot
be any further reduced" the speaker
said. Members of the Traffic club
construed his remarks as an indica-
ton that the commission is inclined
to look favorably on the pending ap-
plication OF eastern railroads for an
advance of five per cent in freight
rates, although Mr.. Prouty explained
he was not speaking for the commits
sion or as a member of that body.

WHY POTATOES ARE UP
Farmers Are Holding ON for an In
crease in Prices.

Washington. Jan. 17.-Unusually
high prices prevail in the potato mar
kets because the farmers this year
are holding a larger proportion of this
vegetable than was held in the last
four years, in the belief that they will
profit by a future rise in prices, ac-
cording to a statement today by the
department of agriculture. The sup
ply. however, is said to be normal
and the conditions do not forecast any
material advance in prices.
In consequence of the firm holding
of the potato by producers of Maine.
Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota
important producing states-the price
on December / was about TN cents
per bushel higher than q year ago and
1871 cents higher than three years
ago.
The department estimates that
about 42.1 per cent of the marketable
supply of potatoes of the 1913 crop
remained in the hands of farmers and
9.5 per cent in the hands Of dealers on
January / in the important potato
growing states.

PITY THE Blind.
But i'm This Case Fear Often Added
to Pity.

An old man wearing a tag on his
hat reading 'Blind Simon" called at
a number Of houses on Polk street be-
tween Eleventh and Huntoon streets
this morning. He was making q pre-
tense Of selling pencils and shoe
strings. He is blind, filthy. and re-
pulsive in appearance. an object to
reasonably frighten any housewife
who opens a door to him.
Like most blind beggars. he has a
story he tells of trying to raise enough
money to have an operation perform
ed to restore his sight DR.. George
T. Babb, city milk inspector. saw the
man visit a number of houses this
morning. He went to the same houses
and inquired as to the mans actions.
He then got the man to get In his
automobile and took him to City Li-
cense Inspector Mattingly. The man
had no license to peddle, and did not
secure any, explaining that he wished
to see the mayor. He said it was his
intention to work all portions of the
city having sidewalks. He claimed he
had room at 12O Monroe street.
where he says he lives alone and does
his own cooking. Whether the man
will be permitted to frighten every
walk remains to be seen. He has
worked the city before and knows it
like a book.
The citizens Of Topeka, through
taxation, support institutions to care
for such cases, but many people who
should be in such institutions object to
being in a place where they receive
their liking to be working on the SYM
pathies OF the people and getting
money enough to satisfy their desires
for either luxurteS or vices.

Los Angeles, Jan. 17.-Suffering a se-

the great pianist has had complete
collapse, and is being hurried from
Oregon to Los Angeles to recuperate.
According to a dispatch received by
ImpresariO Behymer from Manager L.

ed by alleged blackhand threats for
months and the great genius nerves
have finally snapped. His tempera-
mental collapse occurred in Denver
three weeks ago. 1t is said the munich
pal hall, where he played, was posted
with threats. and flaring posters met
his gaze when he stepped on the stage.
He played that evening but Immediate

ness would not interfere with his To-
