Law of Congress Abro- gated All Special Transportation
 Contracts.
THROUGH TARIFF UP
Interstate Commerce Com mission Can Act Only on Combined Water
 and Rail Tariffs

Acting under the shipping law of September 6. 1916. the steamship companies are now billing freight to those who formerly held these con- tracts at $I5O a ton. including Seat tie wharfage. Word was received yesterday that the attorneys who had investigated the matter for the holders of these contracts have ad- vised that they have been annualled by act of Congress and that it would be useless to fight over it.
 No Jurisdiction Over Rates
 It is generally understood that the Interstate Commerce Commission has no jurisdiction over water freight rates. In fact, Secretary George B.. McGlnty of the Interstate Commerce Commission said in letter to Charles Goldstein last spring that the commission had no Jurisdiction over wholly water route rates.
 The shipping bill which became law September has abrogated the old freight contracts through which some of the big mining companies and the canneries of Alaska were getting lower freight rates than those paid by the merchants and others This disposes of enc of the main things which caused the Inter- state Commerce Commission to in- yestigate Alaskan transportation mat ters.
 Shortly after the transportation companies operating in Alaska wa ters raised their freight and pas senger rates last spring it was dis covered that several of the big Alas ka mining companies and practi- cally all of the canneries were get ting a special freight rate of $4 ton between Seattle and Juneau and vicinity. This gave them an advantage of $3 ton over the gen. eral run of shippers.
 If this is correct, it would leave through rates. where both railroads and steamships are used as carriers, the only phase Of the situation that the Interstate Commerce commits sion could reach.
 New Commission Names
 However under the law of Sep tember 6. 1916. referred to. the President is directed to appoint a shipping board which will have prac- tically the same control over ship ping and water transportation rates that the Interstate Commerce Com mission has over railroads and rail transportation rates.

Washington, Feb. 19.--The investi-
CATION of charges that manufacturers
haze attempted to monopolize the
sisal crop of Yucatan, was broadened
today to include an inquiry into
whether the international Harvester
company sought by intimidating
American bankers to prevent sisal
planters obtaining money to market
their crops.
The agriculture committee conduct
ing the investigation decided to call
as witnesses President Cyrus IL. NC
Cormick and other officials or the
harvester company and Arthur Rey-
nolds, vice president of the Continent
al and Commercial National bank OF
Chicago, and to ask the bank to sub
NIT record of the balance main

charges that the harvester company
also exerted influence upon that in

Wexler argued that if the United
States should prevent his company
from lending money to the planters,
il would mean diversion of the entire
sisal crop to some European country
and might result in establishment oil

put all American factories out OF

HiBlTiNG FREAK OF NATURE
AT HIS HOME.

Purvis, Miss, Nov 3.-The farmers
Iof Route No 3, leading out from Pur.
Wis, are running small-sized excursions
to the farm Of John w. Chapman these
days, to view the bovine phenomena
which made its appearance at his
home Saturday night
A well-deyeloped calf, normal in
every respect, and apparently healthy,
but having flap, similar to the pock-
ct Of a kangaroo, although open ON
three sides, and projecting from its
shoulder blade, is the cause of the Gu.
riosity. The flap is something like
eight inches long, and as wide as the
hand.
What is responsible for this freak
OF nature, or for what purpose it is in
tended. no one has been able to give
an answer. 1t has been suggested to
Mr. Chapman that the extra flap was
thrown in for good measure, possibly.
because of the high cost OF leather
these days, the flap being large enough
to cover the sole of shoe, or TO make
at least half of a glove

TUESDAYS ELECTION
THESE, WITH SHEET IRONS TO
BE MADE HERE, WILL CON.
TAIN THE BALLOTS.
OLD RECEPTACLES ARE
TOO SMALL FOR SERVICE

Election commissioners throughout
Mississippi today are keeping the tele-
graph wires buazing, and the timers
in their various districts working
overtime, in an effort to obtain. before
noon tomorrow, ballot boxes to be
used at the election next Tuesday.
The seven-foot ballot to be cast on
November z, which is more than 12
inches i'll width, will necessitate the
use of the biggest ballot boxes ever
seen in the state Bread boxes, large
tin cash boxes. and similar tin and
sheet-iron receptables are being coi4-
verted into legal containers, and the
Forrest county commission believes
that when the first of the managers
come here tomorrow for their ballots,
ink and pens, the ballot boxes will be
ready for them
Only four tin boxes of sufficient size
could be obtained in Hattiesburg. In
all, dozen are required. New Or
leans, jackson and Meridian were
communicated with, and it was stated
that the supply in those cities is rap
idly being exhausted. Not willing to
take chance at having the boxes go
astray by freight Or express, the For
rest commission this morning gave the
contract to a local timer to make, as
quickly as POSSIBLE, eight tin boxes,
and deliver them to the Court House
at once.
| While the election will not be held

commission to have all of the ballot

son closed his campaign for re-elec-
tion except for a speech he will de-

bors at Shadow Lawn Saturday after
noon. From the time he arrived in
the city he was greeted by cheering
crowds wherever he appeared.
In four speeches here, three last
night and one at business mems
luncheon in the afternoon, he reiterat.
ed his conception of the great issues
which confront the United States. He
appealed for principles of progress
which would help the Obscure men
and women of the land, arraigned the
Wall Street interests" which, he
said, seek to dominate, and pleaded
for equal rights for all men.
The Presidents coming gave the
Democrats their first opportunity Of

scale. Torchlights and red fires
blazed in Fifth avenue, as the hosts
OF Tammany Hall, headed by Charles
f. Murphy, advanced upon Madison
Square Garden, which was besicged
by an immense crowd before their ar
rival.
Two hours and a half before Mr.
Wilson was due at the historic gar
den. police reserves were striving
valnly to hold back a surging throne
striving for places OF vantage which
would make entrance easy after the
doors we're thrown open. Holders o

reach the entrances.
The seating capacity of the gardel
had been increased to $4,000. but i
