Farmers Want New Rates
United press DaY SerYicel

/
Springfield, ILL.,, Feb. 3.-Will 1lli-
nois' new public utilities commission
in deciding grain freight rates con-
tinue to follow the interstate COM
merce commission as it did in it's rul-
ings on the giving of passes and trans
portation and the fixing of express
rates? This was the question that to-
day agitated farmers and grain ship
pers throughout Illinois when their
representatives came here to plead be-
fore the state commission for the pres
ent freight tariffs as against a one
per cent sliding increase.
/ Within the first month of it's organ
ization the commission adopted to the
letter the federal boards classifica-
tion of persons who may be granted
passes or transportation by carrier
! utilities and accepted the interstate
commissions schedule of express tar
ifs for shipments within the state.
What the railroads asked today was
C1dI Ine Interstate COMMISSION ) scale
grain rates be enforced for shipments
within Illinois. The railroads began
clamoring for the grain freight in
crease year ago. From time to time
decision was deferred by the old rail-
road and warehouse commission. When
the first hearing was given by the
commission, a postponement was al
, lowed until today with the proviso
that whatever today's decision that
rates would not. go into effect until
February %. The contention of the
farmers is that the cost of carrying
grain has not increased out of ratio
to other freight carrying costs and
that the additional burden proposed
for grain shipments is unjust and dis
criminatory.. They claim that while
other states are proposing to in
crease the grain freight rates only
5 per cent, the Illinois carriers ask an
increase of 16 2-3 per cent.

doing anything of the sort.
While making their way from New
York to the Pacific coast they mingled
in something like 25 or 80 diamond

more than one game day. But they

each player participated in no more
than one game day.
On November 10 they sailed from
Vancouver and had nearly three weeks
in which to rest upLnearfy three
weeks before they had to play again.
And by the time they could play they
were keen for it-their muscles had
stiffened slightly from inactivity and
they welcomed the chance of Timber

Since they sailed from Vancouver
the tourists have engaged in some-
thing like 20 games That means Just
about 40 hours of "work" in rs days.
And Hughey would have us believe
that so much work is going to work
havoc with those fellows during the
coming regular season. 3 y.
Hughey also is of the belief that
the business of transforming is liable
to make the men lax in. their habits.
Can transforming make any of them
more lax than lying around in some

Frank Menke's
Sporting Letter

New York, Feb. 3.-With all due re-
spect to the excellent baseball judg-
ment of Hughey Jennings of the Ii
gers, we cannot refrain from taking
q slight exception to some of his re-
cent utteranceS. ss
Hughey deplores the fact that some
members of the Giants, White ,Sox
and a scattering of players from 9TH
er teams went on.a world tour, play
ing ball at odd moments. Hughey
fears that the Continuous ball play
ing" of the tourists will make them
go stale and generally put them on the
'fritz" as far as the regular 1914
season is concerned.
Hughey would have us imagine that
those. tourists really are working
that they are exerting themselves to
the utmost, and that there's large
chance of at least half of them dy-
ing from overwork before they get
back to theiI. native shores. Hughey
feels that those who survive the trip
will come home with so many bust
ed bones, with such shattered constitu-
tions and so generally wan and enact
ated that they'll have to be confined
in the Old Mems Home at once
Isn't Hughey the joker, though?
From all we can gather from bab-
bles that slip into this country every
SO often those touring gentlemen are
having the time of their lives and are
playing just enough baseball to give
them the exercise that an athlete
needs. AS for exerting themselves to
Che utmost on foreign ball fields, and
taking desperate chances to win games
and earn the plaudits of the foreign
multitudes, it's joke.
Ball players are pretty shrewd
lot when it comes to finances and to.
taking care of their physical selves.
Those tourists know that nothing can
be gained by taking desperate chances
during thosej exhibition games and
they are not taking them. Why should
they? The only thing they'll get out
of it will be a few Chinese, Japanese,
Australian on South African cheers
and some busted bones that may end
forever their. big league playing days.

several weeks. He was 82 years old.
James Grant Wilson, soldier, au-

Gladstone and Washington Irving,
was native Scot, having been born
at Edinburgh on April %, 1882. His

His father, William Wilson, was
publisher, and the son entered the
business and became partner. In
1855 he established at Chicago the
first literary journal of the north
west, and became known as a public
speaker, He published the Chicago
Record until 1862, when he sold his
paper and accepted commission as
major of the Fifteenth Illinois cav
airy = r.
He served in the campaign against
Vicksburg, and in many battles was
acting colonel of his regiment. He
went with Grant to New Orleans in
1868, and upon the advice of the
general accepted the colonelcy of the
Fourth regiment of negro cavalry,
He was then appointed aide on the
staff of General Banks, commander
of the Department of the Gulf. He
co-operated with other officers in the
construction of the Red River dam,
which was instrumental in saving
Admiral @Porter's fleet. Colofel Will
son was breveted brigadief general
in April, 1866, and. placed in COM
'mand, of Fort Hudson. He resigned
from the army in July, 1865, and
came TO New York to five, pursuing a
literary career.
He was appointed to the board of
visitors to the United States Naval
Academy in 1879, and to the board
Of visitors at the Military Academy
in 1880. He served as secretary of
boards
Romance figured in the latter years

Mr.. Rice has given over $500 con-
certs in Europe, Canada and America.
During the winter his justly famous
evening of song" has been rendered
to capacity audiences more than a
hundred times on this tour of the Pa
cific coast. His next stopping place
is.sPhoenix, thence eastward to New
York va &F
In San Francisco, Oakland and near
by cities for fourteen nights the
houses were crowded to capacity. In
Sacramento the Star reported "three
thousand sat spellbound at the mar
velous singing of Leon Rice, while his
charming, wife, at the piano was a
brilliant accompanist." In Pomona the
large auditorium of the Christian
church had exceeding 1000 packed into
it, and some SOC, turned from the door.
In San Diego he gave two concerts. At
the Grant hotel ball room with the
smallest admission fee a dollar a seat
it was one of the most brilliant social
affairs of the winter For his second
appearance it was necessary to get a
larger auditorium. The San Diego Un-
ion said "over 1000 packed inside,
hundreds turned away, and it took
Leon Rice, accompanied by his mana
ger, more than 10 minutes to fight his
way into the entrance, so great was
tho jam"
Doubtless many of our residents
who formerly lived in the east will re-
member Leon Rice as the sweet tenor
soloist for several years in Trinity
chapel, New York City. This is one
of the most desirable church positions
in America. Trinity church itself is
amply able to afford the best music.
Its real estate holdings alone are val
ued at exceeding a hundred million
dollars, and they own nine of the larg-
est churches in New York City, includ-
ing the one at the head of Wall Street.
In Houston, Texas, the second Pres
byteriap church paid Mr.. Rice a hun
dred dollars per Sunday fer singing,
said to be the largest church salary
OH record. 1t was possible because he
attracted capacity audiences. While
Mr. Rice is wonderful with church mu-
sic, he is still more marvellous in ora
torio arias, and can even so interpret
simple negro melodies, as TO charm the
most fastidious musically trained ear.
