Investigation Expected to Ef-
feet on Freight Rates
and Profits

The ground work for the inquiry
into the history, management,
financial, and other operations, &C.
counts and practices Of the Chi.
cago, Milwaukee and st. Paul rail-
road, has practically been COM
pleted by the Interstate Commences
Commission, and hearings will! be-
gin about July 10, 1t was learned
today.
This investigation of the affairs
Of the st. Paul system, prior to its
being thrown into receivership, was
ordered by the commission on Nav
IL to determine 1.-The manner and
method In which the business Of
the road has been conducted"
The inquiry is expected to have
a far-reaching effect on the railroad
question, and members Of the COM
mission believe it is possible that
this will throw q much-needed light
on necessary reforms.
Receivers OF the road, which In
cIude Mark w. Potter, q former
member of the commission, have
urgently appealed to adrninistrati ton
for an early hearing in the casa,
their plea being that all the facts
In issue should be determined
promptly in order that the refinanc-
ing Of the road and its restoration
to the control of the stockholders
can be worked cut in an orderly
manner with the least possible
delay.
The inquiry will be directed 1T
these three main facts:
1. The efficiency Of the manage
ment Of the road.
2. Relationship Of that manage
ment to the entire transportation
systems OF the Northwest and the
connection Herewith to the present
rate system as approved b. the
commission.
3. Whether, under existing rates,

cultural section can be operated at

BANKS To SHOW
DECREASE IN
DEPOSITS
Fall Is Chiefly Attributable to
Payment of Income
Taxes

With a few notable exceptions,
local banks will file much lower
total deposits with the Comptroller
of Currency as result Of the bank
call issued today, for the condition
Of banks as Of June 80.
In marked contrast to the fast
few calls. In which the local banks
showed general increases in deposits,
indications today point to a gen
eral decrease. The decrease is
chiefly attributed to the drain made
by the payment of income taxes
last month.
The biggest increase in dep1 sits
