For the meat and by-products de-

statement continues, the rate OF

that part of the steer consists Of by

some of the. beef is cured and sailed
and large portions of pork products

move very slowly and that even in
the sale of strictly fresh meat il
takes some time for the money tc

The commission says that the pack
ers' profit of one-quarter of cen
per pound on beef amounts to S. ,

an average quality ton Of bsef i.

Sends Wave in Hole on Top
Of OttG 8runke

Fred Brunke, an employee of the
city, received an unexpected shower
bath Wednesday afternoon Wilde
! cleaning the leaves out of the big
! sewer lat the southwest corner of In
dependence and Spanish streets. He
was working about fifteen feet below
the earth's surface, and was bumped
over bucket of leaves when a rush
of cold water poured in on him.
"Who squirted that water in here"
he shouted in "a very angry voice.
"lt's coming down the street." re-
Piled the helper.
In the meantime Brunke hastily
emerged from the hole in the ground.
A block up independence street he
could see a stream of water spout
ing high into the air. An investiga-
ton showed that a runaway automo-
bile had struck the water plug at
Loririier and Independence streets,
breaking it of even with the ground
and permitting the water to flow
down the curling and into the sewer
wh,re Brunke was at work.
the automobile belonged to Mrs.
B. F. Marshall, and was standing in
front Of the Marshall home, when the
brakes released and permitted the
machine to coast down the Hill.
Brunke was prepared to do hattie
when he climbed out of the sewer
with his rubber boots filled with wa
ter and with his back soaking wet.
Well, he grumbled, when he learned
the cause Of the deluge. / thought
some joker had played . trick on me.

FREIGHT INCREASES

Congressman Chandler Writes That
Discriminating Rates VIII
BE Adjusted.

That the big advance in freight
rates, the 2J per cent general in
crease and the larger local rates In
Oklahoma may be lowered before
the date Of their effect ia the advice
received by The World frdh Con-
grossman I. A. Chandler.
Mr.. Chandler stated:
81 have urged for the past several
weeks with every department which
has anything to do with the rail-
roads or freight situation that these
unjust and discriminating rates
should be set inside Mt once and ! am
pleased TO advise you that yesterday
] was advised by the department that
they would try to adjust this mat
. ter before the general increase goes
into effect.
Il think II is an outrage upon the
public that such an enormous In
crease should be made. No time
In the past have the railroads ever
suggested n greater Increase than
Is per cent and | have been in
formed that they would very gladly
have accepted an increase OF one
half OF that amount. Now we have
n general increase OF rs per cent
staring us in the face and In addition
thereto an enormous increase In
local rates which will affect the
state of oklahoma"
