The following quotation relative TO
canning without sugar is taken from a
circular written by J. S. Coldwell, by
products specialist Of the Washington
agricultural experiment station:
Many housewives are apparently
unaware that practically all fruits
may be successfully canned without
the use of sugar. Such fruit preserves
more OF the natural appearance and
flavor than does fruit put up in heavy

That President Wilson will

today.
Some believed he would
wait until after tomorrow s
session in New York be-
tween brotherhood chiefs
and railway managers, but
others thought he might be-
fore then make some kind of
announcement aimed at
stalling off the great indus
trial strike.
His advisers early today
did not know certainly,

mind.

act as chairman; W. s. Culberson,
Kansas; William A. Kent, California;;
David ]. Lewis, Maryland; E. P. Co.'S
tigan, Denver and Daniel Roper, form

oULBERSON AN EXPERT.
Culberson has been in the legal de-
partment of the federal trade COM
mission and is considered expert in
tariff matters.
Lewis was defeated by France for
the United States senate at the last
Maryland election.
Costigan is recognized as the lead
er of the Progressive party in Colo
RADIO. He was originally a Republican,
but in 1912 and again in 1916 was the
Progressive candidate for governor. e
Roper is a Democrat and previous

tive work on the national campaign
committee. was under Postmaster Cen
eral. Burleson.
Culberson is a Republican; Lewis
Democrat and Costigan a Progress
sive.
President Wilson sent the nomina-
tions to the senate today. The fact
that two are independents, two Demo-
Gratis, one Republican and one Progress

Examiner of the Interstate
merce Commission
Submits His Findings
After Holding Hearings
in the West.
REPORT NOT BINDING
ON THE COMMISSION
States Given Until April 2 to
File Briefs in Connection
With Commission
er Freehafer to Go to
Washington.

The first round in the long and
short haul freight rate case, in which
millions of dollars In freight is in
volved, has been won by the inter-
mountain west. This information
reached the public utilities commission
of Idaho in the form of tentative find
ings by Examiner Attorney Thurtell,
who heard the evidence submitted at
the various hedrings in western cities
including Salt Lake, San Francisco,
Portland and Spokane by the Idaho
and other public utilities and railroad
commissions. -
The examiner attorney holds, with
the Idaho and other commissions, that
the time has now come when there
should be a change and the intermoun-
tain country should have q lower
freight rate than the coast; that the
old theory that freight rates from
coast to coast should be less than the
rates to intermountain territory should
not apply.
CONSIDER IT VICTORY.
While a victory for the intermoun-
tain shippers, the findings of the ex-
aminer are not to be taken as bind
ing upon the interstate commerce COM
mission, but merely as a basis on
which to proceed with the further con-
duct of the rate cases. The commits
sions are given until April in which
to file briefs with the interstate COM
merce commission in connection with
the examiners findings.
Commissioner A. L. Freehafer of the
Idaho commission, who had charge of
the legal work of the Idaho side of the
freight rate hearing, will probably go
to Washington in connection with the
case later. Mr.. Freehafer, together with
other members of the Idaho commits
sion, are greatly pleased over the find
ings of the examiner. They look upon
1t as the first victory in the fight that
means more than any other to the
shippers Of the intermountain terri
tory. The examiner gave special ref
erence to the valuable data submitted
at the hearings before him, which was
prepared by Leonard Way, rate expert
with the commission.
The following is summary of the
examiners findings:
TRANScoNTINENTAL RATES.
/. Existing water competition found
to be a negligible factor in affecting
the rates by rail between Atlantic and
Pacific coast terminals.
2. Rates on commodities from east
ern defined territories to Pacific coast
terminals lower than the rates on like
traffic to intermediate points found not
Justified under existing circumstances
8. Present effective rates on speci-
