Livestock Rates
Not Unreasonable,
Commission Ayers

Washington, March 30.-(R)-Rail-
road rates on livestock throughout
the western half of the United States
were declared by the interstate COM
merce commission today to be not
unreasonably high, and a series Of
complaints by the American National
Livestock association and other or
CARNATIONS within the industry. de-
handing reductions was dismissed.
Except for slight alterations in
schedules through southwestern ter
ritory the commission refused for
the present to disturb the rates now
applying to cattle shipments, and
mentioned the railroad contention
that an annual loss of $4,000, 900
would result to the carriers should
the livestock raisers be granted their
claim.
The decision set aside one of the
more important cases brought under
terms of q congressional resolution
which imposed upon the commission
the duty of considering whether rail
road rates constitute an undue bur-
den upon agricultural producers.

established was costing $425,000 a
year. In 1925 the cost was $lO3,O00,-

FINE POINTS,
0USTED FROM
SAPIR0 SUIT
Judge Limits Period of Dis
cussiOn of Technicalities By
Agreement of Counsel

Detroit, March 30.-(P)-The near
~ "interminable" arguments over
legal technicalities were done away
with in Aaron Sapiro's $l,OOO,OOO
libel suit against Henry Ford when
Federal Judge Fred NJ. Raymond to-
day unciated policy of limiting
each side.
At the opening of court the jury
was sent outside, where it has been
most of the trial, while Sapiro's and
Ford's counsel argued over the pro-
duction of Sapiro's record books.
Gentlemen, there has got to be
an end somewhere" said Judge Ray
mond. Il wish you would agree on
a time limit. How about 20 minutes
for each of you?"
"That would be twice too much"
replied Stewart Hanley of Ford coun-
sci.
Time Limit Agreed On
William Henry Gallagher, counsel
for Sapiro, nodded assent and the
new rule was applied Immediately.
The first application limited each
side to 10 minutes.
Neither needed it, however, as the
attorneys agreed to take up the mat
ter Immediately after the noon re-
cess.
Sapiro was recalled to the witness
stand and James A. Reed, United
States senator for Missouri, chief of
Ford counsel, resumed cross exam
ination.
Reed and Sapiro began like pair
of friendly citizens in discussion
remote from a court of record.
Their tete-a-tete ut first dealt
with Sapiro's early legal efforts, his
division of percentages of receipts
with various partners while he got
started at law, soon after hanging
out his single.
As long as Reed was centered on
routine questions, his voice IL feet
back of him was heard as a rolling
humble, far from the stentorian
boom of which it is capable.
