TRIAL OF BOY "ROBBER"
jacobson Pawn Shop Theft Case Is
Up Today.

The trial of the states case against
Lawrence Fisher, the Kansas City boy
charged with completely in the bur
glary of the jacobson pawn shop on
March 16, with Joe Hoffman, the
youth arrested with him, who pleaded
guilty to the charge, continued this
afternoon with a prospect of being
concluded by tonight.
The defense has maintained a con-
sistent fight upon the states case,
pointing to defects in the information
in the case and in the record of court
of Topeka where Fisher waived his
preliminary examination. A consid-
cradle quantity of revolvers and jew
elry found in the boys possession was
identified in court by Abe Jacobson,
proprietor of the shop.

fear of a shortage of wheat in the North
west is prevalent among both millers and
grain men. With light stocks in store
both at country and terminal markets
and considering that stocks at Duluth are
understood to be largely sold to go east
by lake, trade generally is wondering
where supplies are to come from to Keep s19
capacity up to September l. Stocks at
Minneapolis are understood to be largely
owned by two milling companies. Deliver
les by farmers are at minimum, and
men in close touch with the situation say
the amount on farms is scarcely more
than enough for seed The Minneapolis

cific official told the commission that
Kansas has a greater mileage per TO-
OOJ population than almost any of the
eastern states.
In addition to light population, tho
state provides a passenger rate OF two
cents against two and a half cents on
most of the eastern roads. From his
manuscript, Stone urged that such
conditions meant heavy losses to roads
doing business in this state.
Legislation was another thing of
which the official from the head Of
fees in St. Louis complained bitterly.
1.-The carriers have been hammered
so much in the last few years by those
who seek to regulate them, that pub
lie confidence in transportation secur-
tiles has been disturbed" the witness
declared.
Then Stone clinched his point by
quoting from a speech by Senator I'm
derwood in New York a few weeks
ago.
Stone submitted a bunch of docu-
mentary evidence to show that the av-
leading eastern 1ines-New York Cen
trail, Pennsylvania, New Haven. Della
ware, Lackawanna & Western, Lake
shore, Michiga Central and Boston &
Maine-is S11,S21.15. Revenue on the
six leading roads in Kansas-Union
Pacific, Santa Fe, Missouri Pacific,
Katy, Frisco and Rock Islands only
$2,S6S.62 a mile, according to the wit
ness.
"Of the L--stern lines named,'' Stone
said, ''the New Haven received in 1914
the heaviest passenger revenue per
mile of road, the amount being $15,-
957. And it should not be overlooked
that Massachusetts, recently authorized
the New Haven to increase its pas
senger rates from two cents to two
and a half cents mile.
"Of the western lines, the Union Pa
cific received in 1914 the greatest pas
senger revenue per mile of road. or

Rates in East.
Passenger rates on eastern roads
are invariably two and a half cents a
. mile, the witness testified. Yet based
on a population of 10000, Stone said
that New York had SIS miles of rail-
roads. Pennsylvania, 14.25; while
Kansas with a two cent rate has
: Sass miles of road for every 10000
inhabitants.
Stone then told the commission of
competitive rates between points in
Kansas in urging that it was impos-
sible to receive a flat two cents a mile.
From Pittsburg to Wichita, the
. Frisco having the short line, received
. two cents a mile, or S3.42," said Stone

Population and Rates
Population figures were quoted by
Stone in support of his claim that the
two cent rate is confiscatory. Sixty
six counties east of the ninety-ninth
meridian have a population of 1928

ties west of the ninety-ninth meridian
