Back to Mills.

The rail rate on paper cores from
users Of newsprint paper back to the
mills is unreasonable in carload lots
or less, T. d. Geoghegan, traffic man
ager for the Washington Publishers
Association, declared today at the
third session of a hearing brought by
associated publishers in Washington
and Baltimore, who are seeking a re-
duction in the rail rate on paper
cores and newsprint ink. Testimony
on alleged overcharge on shipments
of ink took up much of the time at
the first session yesterday morning.
The matter Of excessive charges on
paper cores was taken up in the
afternoon and resumed again today.
Mr.. Geoghegan submitted to Examl-
ner H. Fleming for the Interstate
Commerce Commission, before whom
the complaint of the publishers is be-
ing heard, an exhibit showing COM
parabl rates on other equipment re-
turned to shippers, which, he said,
showed the rate on paper cores to be
unrea soma bly, high. He was cross-ex-
amined at length by attorneys for the

The present proceedings
Comparison of Rates. t
The traffic manager for the Wash
ington publishers proposed a rail rate
on paper cores not to exceed the live
rate on newsprint paper in carload lots.
At present, according to informa-
ton presented at the hearing. the
newspaper publishers pay a return
rate on paper cores Of about 81 cents
against live rate on paper shipped
from the mills to consumption points
of about 46 cents a hundred pounds.
A similar proceeding originated by
practically the same complainants
against the imposition of what they

mission. A tentative decision is ex-
pected from Examiner w. B. Hunter

land sprang a surprise, coming from
nowhere in the stretch and taking
second place only five yards behind
State was the only dangerous Yankee
at any stage of the race. and his final
dash carried him past the fast tiring
Stallard, giving Enck third place.
William B. Richardson, of Leland
Stanford. and Ray Dodge, Oregon
Aggies, gained the last two places for
America, while John H. Waters of
Harvard, finished seventh. Charles
Hoff, the much-touted Norwegian was
last all the way.
Abrahams continued his winning
streak today when he conquered
Charley Paddock by a foot in one OF
the 2oO-meter trial sprints.
The British greyhound took the
lead at sixty yards and held it down
the stretch despite Paddock's last
desperate lunge. The duel between
Paddock and Abrahams was the fea-
ture of the sprint trials, in which the
other Americans. Jackson V. Scholz,
New York A. c.; Bayes Norton of
Yale and George Hill. University of
Pennsylvania. easily won their heats,
of which seventeen were run off.
Norton and Kinsman, the South Afri-
can, flashed the best time, each doing
the 200 in 81 4-5 seconds.
All four Americans entered easily

semi-finals Of the lie. George Guth-
rie of Ohio State and Dan Kinsey of
Illinois captured their heats without
being pushed, while F. +. Johnson,

Anderson, Illinois A. c.. the national
champion, finished second to the
speedy South African, Atkinson, who
beat Anderson, despite stumbling over
the last hurdle. In this heat Con-
terars of Mexico hurt his foot against
a hurdle and finished last. limping.
south African Fastest.
Atkinson, whose time of Is is Sec
onds was the fastest of any of the
eight heats, and Christensen, the
Newark A. c. hurdler, who won a
heat for his native Sweden. proved
themselves the only real rivals of the
American timber-toppers.
Three of the four American en-
trants, Guthrie, Anderson and kinsey,
won their way into the finals Of the
l10-meter hurdles without trouble,
but Johnson was just nosed out by
Peterson of Sweden for second place
in the heat won by Kinsey.
