H. A. Dykstra Brings Action to
Collect $4,000.
WILL INVOLVE OTHER TOWNS
Plaintiff Says He Was Beaten,
Bruised and Kicked.
Was Warned Against Return to
st. John, He Says.

An echo of the western Kansas
"egging parties" was heard here today
when H. A. Dykstra. now employed by
the Merchants Transfer company,
filed suit in the federal court to collect
$4,000 damages from the city OF Hud-
son, Stafford county. Ed Rooney, his
attorney. stated that suits will also be
Immediately filed against Dodge City
and St. 6ohn, and later probably
against Carbon City, Cimarron. Lakin
and Syracuse.

Dykstra is citizen OF Canada. He
claims in his petition that on June II,
shortly after the Logging party" at Ell
linwood he went to Hudson looking
for farmer for whom he was work.
ing. He said a mob had gathered and
thai certain of its members began to
question him. In reply to their ques-
uons. II he says. he told them he was
"for the right OF assemblage, free
speech and free press and that the
ones who rotten-egged the farmers at
Ellinwood and covered the American
flag with rotten eggs were guilty OF
mob violence and violated the law"
At this juncture. Dykstra asserts
the mob seized him. beat. bruised and
kicked him, placed him in an auto
mobile and took him out of town.
Other Suits to Follow.
Dykstra suits against the other cities
will be based on the allegations con-
tanned in his complaint presented last
August to Governor Allen and Richard
]. Hopkins. attorney general. At that
time, he stated in his written corn-
plant that the Hudson mob disrobed
him and took him to ST. John, thir-
| teen miles west. where he was thrown
in jail. He was subsequently re-
leased and allowed to return to work.
Was Taken to st. John.
On July 20, he declares, four men
came in an automobile to the house
of his employer. seized him and took

new FREIGHT RATE
Mean Big Saving on Butter
and Eggs.
Lets Kansas Producers Enter
Southern Market.

A change, in the freight classified
ton on butter and eggs shipped into
the south and southeast from Kansas,
which will mean a saving of many
hundreds of dollars to Kansas ship
pers in a year. and which will permit
the Kansas producers to enter a mar
ket which has hitherto been closed
to their compel tition, was announced
today by tho Topeka Traffic associa-
ton.
Hitherto there has never been a car
load rate on butter and eggs shipped
from Kansas into the territory east of
the Mississippi and south of the Ohio
rivers. The same rate has applied TO
shipments in car lots, as has been ef-
fectiye for shipments OF one case of
eggs or one tub of butter.
Classification Charges.
On the application of the traffic
association, however, made some time
ago, change in the classification has
, been made. and third. class rates have
been made effective for ear-lot ship
ments into the territory designated.
The car lot rate on eggs. taking a
shipment from Topeka to Atlanta. Ga,
via Memphis. Tenn, as an example. is
now S2.27 Il per hundred pounds.
, The same rate applies to shipments
of less than car-lots. and is called an
amy quantity" rate. Under the new
classification the rate will be $2I0 "
per hundred pounds for car-lots-a
saving of II cents per hundred
pounds, or about s34 per carload OF
eggs.
Any Quantity Rnte.
The amy quantity rate on butter
shipped 10 the same point and by the
same route, at the present time is
s2.51 Y. Under the new rate il will
be S2.10h on car-lots. This means o
saving of Al cents on each hundred
, lot is $4,000 pounds, and the saving
on such car would be sS2. Butter
always loads heavy" according to
shippers, and the saving on the aver
age car would be more than $S2.
! Benefit 100 Firms.
There are more than 100 firms in
I the state who ship butter and eggs
! into the southern and southeastern
markets. and the total of their car
! load shipments will reach into the
! hundreds every year. They have been
handicapped in getting into the south
! eastern territory with their products
! because OF the high freight rates, but
! will be able under the new rates. to
| offer competition where they have
never competed before.
Applies to Entire State.
| The date on which the new classi-
! fication will go into effect has not yet
been stated. The new system will ap-
/ ply to all shipping points in the state
when it does become effective.
The application for the new classifi-
fication was made by the Kansas Egs
