scoreless while the Presbyterians
gathered seven points, the third
quarter being IS to 6. They added
another in the last period as the

come the lead and gathered but
three points, making the final score

CITY CATTLE MEN
CLAIM THEY ARE DISCRIm.
MATED AGAINST
Railroad and Warehouse Com
missioner Ivan Bowen Ex.
plains Situation Regarding
Shipment of Stock To South
St. Paul and Exchange In
owa Town.

Ivan Bowen, one of the members
of the state railway and warehouse
commission, returned to this city
today from Sioux Falls, S. D., where
he attended a hearing held by the
interstate commerce commission at
the request OF the Sioux City Lives
stock Exchange. The interstate
commerce commission alleged hat
the Sioux City Exchange was dis
eliminated against in the shipment
Of livestock from points south Of
Mankato on the Omaha road and
south of Wilmar on the Great Nor
then railway, according to the state
ment OF Mr.. Bowen to the Free
Press.
The interstate commission held
that by reason of the Minnesota
law, which gives free return trans
portation TO men accompanying car
oad shipments of cattle to market
at South st. Paul, and not from
the points named to Sioux City,
causes discrimination against Sioux
City.
Statement of Mr.. Bowen
Mr.. Bowen explained that in 1917
a similar case the interstate COM
merce commission ordered the re-
moval of the discrimination, and
no return transportation was given,
from these points to South st. Paul
until last fall, when the railway and
warehouse commission induced the
railways to voluntary comply with
the Minnesota ruling.
Commissioner Bowen said that
this is another instance of the fed;
eral government taking ove the,
jurisdiction of matters which pro
perly belong to the states.
1t is the intention of the railway
and warehouse commission to fight
the cas- through imam endeavor to
protect the state in matters of pure
ly local conditions.
