Report Of Traffic Manager Kansas

ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch.
Kansas City, Mo-, January Is
Despite the volplaning of grain prices
during the past few months and agi-
tation among farmers to hold the
products for better markets, re
ceipts of wheat, corn and oats at
Kansas have been heavy for the past
few weeks, according to w. r. Scott,
traffic manager of the Kansas City
board of trade. 7 The shipments are
moving. freely too, Mr. Scott asserted,
railroads are supplying, plenty of cars
and handling all the grain that is
offered
7 No relief from the high freight
rates on grain is. in sight, Mr. Scott
added, in view of the heavy operat-
ing expenses of the railroads. The
roads, he continued, have been unable
to realize the six per cent earnings
guaranteed by the Esch Cummins
law to recompense the roads for
losses during government operation.
The best the roads have been able to
do, he said, was 40 per cent for Oct
ober. Since 1915 freight rates on

carnally knowing and abusing a
female child under the-age of eight
cen years.
This makes sixteen warrants which
have been sworn to by that officer
charging the, same offepse. Out of
the sixteen, thirteen unlucky ones
have been compelled to face the
court. nine on the first raid and four
Saturday afternoon.
The young men arraigned before
Judge Golf Saturday on the charge
mentioned were: Clifford Lang, Leon
Degelman, Walter Harlin and George
Homer. Each Of the defendants put
up a surety bond for his appearance
for hearing in the municipal court
on February 10 at 10 A. NJ. 1t was
explained by Judge Golf to the de-
