RATE HEARING ENDS;
DECISION BY FALL
Importance of Western
Case Expected to
Hasten Action.

Washington. June 26,- Argument was
concluded before the Interstate Com
merce Commission to-day IN the West
ern advance rate case, after fve-day
discussion by attorneys for interstate
railroads and shippers on the reason
ableness Of the proposed advances IN
Western territory.
The case was submitted 20 the com
mission. It's importance is the basis
for the belief that it will be decided
during the summer.
The financial condition Of the car
riers and their need of increased reve-
nue. were reviewed by both sides to-
day. Clifford Thorne, OF the Iowa state
Commission, made the principal argu-
ment for the shippers and state rail-
way commissions opposed TO the IN
creases.
Mr.. Thorne declared the carriers had
failed TO show need Of increased reye-
nue.. and that many Of the roads con-
cerned are making far more than per
cent on their investment. He said grain
and livestock shippers would suffer
most if the increases were allowed
that the farmer, who makes under 4
per cent on his investment, would be
forced 70 contribute 70 the railroads
pockets.

Real Runaway at Show.
A few minutes later the people had
an opportunity of seeing real runa-
way. Three patrolmen were doing the
Roman race, riding four horses all
abreast, with the rider standing on the
backs of the outside animals. AS the
last team passed the stand two OF the
horses broke from under the driver
end dashed over against the rail oppo--
site the stand. In second mounted
man on duty drove his horse against
them. forced them into the rail and in
a second swung them around from the
danger zone, amid the cheers Of the
crowd, led by Commissioner Woods.
Another runaway "stunt" that
pleased was the stopping of team or
horses attached to carriage.
"babv" was thrown from the carriage
by the swaying after the driver fell
from the rig. Two mounted men
closed in and stopped the horses, while
a third, without stopping, picked the
supposed baby up and restored 1t to
the mother.
Commissioner Woods shared the in
terest Of the people in the next move.
A temporary house, without front,
had been erected. A burglar in the
person Of Patrolman Riley, of the
Parkville station, forced a window. lie
is discovered by the woman who owns
the house, played by Mrs. Dessy Ryan.
He chokes the woman, and is about to
90 out the window, when patrolman
turns loose police dog. In the WIN
dow went the dog, and a minute later,
when the officer entered the room, the
burglar was on the floor, pleading for
the patrolman to take the dog of. the
dogs also showed the seeming method
of catching an escaped burglar ana
also how a prisoner is guarded py Ihe
dog while his master chases another
thief. .:
The new cops from the training
school made q hit with their cans
thenic drill and wall climbing stunts,
but the most inspiring event OF the oAy
was the sham battle. .
Using the large field a regiment OF
men. all ex-soldiers or sailors, under
the command of Captain Duryea, OF the
regular army, attacked a fortified sec
ton of the field, protected by field ar
tillery. commanded by Inspector Dwy-
err. who is a retired naval officer.
Captain Duryea's men slowly ad-
vanced. taking advantage of the shrub
berry and trees, and despite the death
dealing fire of the field pieces, finally
made a dash and captured the Dryer
forces.
Cheer after cheer went up as the
wounded, bandaged, were carried or as
sisted past the grandstand.
Then the veteran battalion, carrying
their colors, conducted memorial SER
vices for their dead comrades as
closing feature of the exhibition.

BEST DAY Of COTTON
CROP FOR AMERICUS
WITH NEARLY 900
CROPS ARE BEING RAPIDLY GATH.
Erred AND WITH PRICE AROUND
s ga CENTS-CROPS REDUCED
ABOUT % PIE CENT.

Americas warehouses received near
ly 500 balyes cotton Saturday, the re
ceipts being the best for any day this
season, to date. Farmers are gather
ing the crop rapidly, while the
weather is fine and the staple unstain-
ed by bad weather, and they will sell
their bales as fast as marketed. Prices
yesterday were around 3-4c, which
while seemingly high, are not at all
so, when the short crop here is really
considered.
Spinners and northern spectators
cry "contraband cotton!" to depres
the market and brighten the growers
but the fact remains the 1914 bumper
crop was bought for one-half of the
cost of growing, and resold to SPLEEN
did advantage in spite of the war.
They made a fortune.
When the world knows for a fact
that there is only two or three bales
made to the pillow, it will sit up and
take notice and cotton will soar pro
badly to Csc, but by that time it viii
have passed from the growers hands
into the hands of speculators-who
will reap rich reward.
The farmers reduced their crop
about 25 per cent and still another re-
duction of about so per cent. on &C
count of the drouth, makes a total OF
about IS per cent reduction from last
years crop. If this was known in 3,
general way, it would have great
tendency to advance the market.
