GOVERNOR IN APPEAL
He Tells McAdoo Freight Raise Will
Hit Kansas Hard.

New freight rates will paralyze Kan
sas jobbing centers. according to
lengthy telegram which Governor Cap
per has sent to William G. McAdoo,
director general of railroads. The
telegram protests against the estab-
lishment of the new rs per cent ad-
vance without hearing being granted
the shippers.
The governors protest followed two
statements from the public utilities
commission. The state commission
urged upon the director general of
railroads that the new rates would
mean a double increase to the Kansas
shipper. He would be compelled to
accept an increase equal to the inter-
state rates and an additional rs per
cent above the interstate rates. The
governor urged that the establishment
of the new rates be held in allegiance
pending investigation concerning the
effect of the new schedules.

Antilles. The latter was sunk while
returning to America, but the Tus-
