BEGIN FILING PRivATE'SUI
Shippers Start Actions in Court
Against Railroads to Recover
Overcharges on Freight.

The first private suits against rail
roads for overcharges, pending litiga-
ton concerning the lowering OF
freight rates in Missouri were filed
recently in the circuit court at Kan
sas City. Heretofore the attorney gen.
eral has filed such suits.
The suits were filed BY Henry L..
McCune. They were the first of q
total of $1,500,00O in claims. These
represent the claims of 5000 shippers.
The power of the attorney general
to bring suits for private persons has
been questioned" Mr.. McCune said.
"ln the meantime the statute Of limi-
tation may intervene. In Minnesota
there was similar law and similar
trouble. Overcharge money was col
lected from railroads through the
means we have started"
One suit filed was by the Farmers
Grain and Elevator Company against
the Chicago. Rock Island & Pacific
railway on ia counts, totaling claim
of $4,000. The other was by the Star
Lime Company against the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas Railway Company for
about $1,000.

STILL Sell FOXES
State Law Does Not Give Pro-
lection to Robbers Of
Hen Roosts.
HUNTERS LOSE CASE N COURT.
Judge Dlvslblss Discharges Two Men
At carroIIton Charged with Sell
Ing the Animals.

Brer Fox got q black eye at Carroll
ton when Judge F. p. Divelbiss dis
charged two men arrested for selling
young foxes, and thus held 1918 law
put ON the statute books at the solicit
tation Of the fox hunters of the state
inadequate.
In 1909 section was enacted for
bidding anyone to sell ANY animal or
bird protected by the article on the
game" At that time foxes were not
protected by that article. In 1918 .
section was added making it unlawful
to kill any fur-bearing animal, but the
section prohibiting the sale of animals
protected by the game law article was
not amended and Judge Divelbiss held
that no punishment could be inflicted
for selling foxes.
The point is sore one with the fox
hunters of the state, and the trial de-
veloped an acrimonious tilt in the
court room when one Of the states
witnesses told the lawyer for the de-
tense that he did not care how many
hen roosts and hog sheds were rid
died SO long as he had foxes to chase.
Judge Divelbiss, in passing on the
case, remarked that he considered the
protection of chickens and pigs of as
much importance as the propagation
Of foxes, and said that in close case
he felt constrained to give the benefit
of the doubt to Miss Plymouth Rock
and Mr.. Poland China, rather than

S. SHIP WILL BE REpUDIATEO
TWILL. PAY FOR LOSS.
TWO OF FRYE'S CREW HELD
Washington investigates to Find Out
II They Are Germans and II They
Remain Aboard Voluntarily.

Washington. - Germany probably
will repudiate the action of the cap
tain Of the Prinz Eitel Friedrich In
sinking the American ship William p.
Frye and make reparation for the loss
OF the vessel and cargo, in the opinion
Of German officials here.
1nasmuch as the United States and
Germany are in accord on the ques-
ton of shipping foodstuffs from neu-
trail country to civilians in belligerent
territory, no issue is expected to be
raised by Germany over the right Of
the cargo to be sent to its destination
without interruption.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador. after visit to the State
Department, indicated that he believed
the case would be settled without
much difficulty. He told Counsellor
Lansing what the captain of the Prinz
Eitel had told Capt Boy-Ed, naval at
tache of the German embassy, as to
the sinking Of the American ship; but
the ambassador reserved his own
opinion on the action Of the com.
mander, saying he had no instructions
from his government.
The question Of damages was dis.
cussed briefly between the owner OF
the Frye and the State Department Of.
ficials who indicated that If the sink.
Ing OF the Frye was proved to be an
aggravated case, punitive damages in
addition to the value of ship and car
90 might be asked. They pointed out
that England paid Is percent punitive
dama4ns in the famous Aial case
t-s..a.>,-S.'.-n but Ill thai
a final decision in the pfeseht case
had not been reached.
State Department officials said the
next step would be the drafting Of a
formal claim which could not be com
pleted until definite information had
been received from owners of the
cargo.
Charles Frank and Robert Royce,
members of the Frye's crew, were not
released when Capt. Fiehne and others
OF his crew came ashore, the CON-
nander Of the Friedrich stating at the
time that the men were Germans and
still liable to service under German
arms. When Collector of Customs
Hamilton here looked into the matter
it was stated the men had made no
protestations against being detained
or had they requested Captain Kiehne
to aid them to get away.
