Commission Will
open Wide field
IN ITS ENQUIRY
Large Territory Will Be In
Guided in Hearing in
Memphis Rate Case.
@rzER~1H0N1L.

Little Rock. June 6.-In ordering a
reopening of the Memphis rate case,
except as to cotton and rough rice,
the interstate commerce commission
was ordered that supplementary in
vestigation be made of rates, regula-
tons, classifications, etc., in the
states of Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas,
Oklahoma, Missouri south of the Mis-
souri, river, and the south half Of
Kansas, to be considered at a hear
ing to be held probably sometime in
October.
1t is the further purpose of the pro-
posed inquiry to determine whether
there be undue or unjust prejudice
against interstate commerce, or the
movement of traffic, or discrimina-
ton against localities or shippers.
this being done by the commission
upon it's own motion.
The Missouri Pacific, the Cotton
Belt and the Rock Island railroads,
, on behalf of themselves and other
carriers, have appealed to the state
railroad commission for an increase
in intra-state rate, which the COM
mission estimates amounts to about
IS per cent. on the present rate. The
commission has set their petition for
a hearing on July 10.
The petitioners represent that
they are sustaining and are threaten
ed with enormous decreases in net
operating income due to large in
crease in wages, in the cost of fuel
coal, in cost Of other materials. sup
plies and equipment. and in taxes and
to increased cost of capital. Moth
ing is more essential to the welfare
of the nation and the state than that
the railroads should be in a posi-
ton to respond to the fullest demands
made upon them either by the gen.
eral commerce of the country and
the state, or in connection with the
| subject Of national defense, and 1t is
absolutely essential to the adequate
preparation of the industrial and
| other resources of the country and
state for the present crisis, that the
| transportation machine shall be as
efficient as is humanity possible. This
cannot be done under the present
! revenues and rates of the carriers.
"Your petitioners further repre-
sent that the present high increase
in the cost of railway operation has
resulted and is resulting in made
quate net earnings and surplus. that
they are unable to secure sufficient
money to provide the facilities and
handle the volume of traffic rendered
TO them. and that the threatened
further depletion of net earnings and
surplus must seriously aggravate this
situation. Your petitioners further
represent that substantial increase in
freight rates is imperatively demand
ed by their financial. condition. and
that the emergency requires that
these increases should he made in the
most peditious manner and with the
least possible delay"

mystery. ial.:
Authorities previously had an
nounced that the six had confessed to
other plots, including the abduction

ments.

plot. but authorities declare he was
arrested because Of statements made
/ by the others yesterday.
No direct connection between the
alleged activities of the six and the

| been established. Authorities, how
ever, stated today they hoped soon tc
clear up the entire mystery.
The confessions were said to nave
been made by two of the six. Others
not yet arrested were implicated, &C

TAYLOR Adams, taken at Kansas
City on Monday, was the only person
not arrested here. One OF his sons
ia said to have been employed at q
down town store here from which
mysterious lights flashed few days
ago and caused a widespread belize
that some signal to the abductors o.
the Keet baby was being given. Inc
exact situation is not explained.

the band planned to secrete Clement
after abducting him, in an old mouse
on the Campbell road, eight miles
southwest of Springfield. Authori

might have been taken there. A bah!
