LOCAL FIRMS SEEKING FREIGHT RATE CHANGE

Cottrell Bros, and Gravel Company Cases Are Heard by Interstate Commerce Commission.

The case of Cottrell Bros. *?. the Chicago. Terre Haute and Southeastern Railway company was argued before Examiner Ilal C. Horton of the interstate commerce commission, Tuesday morning, the hearing being held in the federal building.

Cottrell Bros, filed a petition with the commission asking for transit privileges at Perkins, where their elevator is locatod, which they say have been denied them. Cottrell Bros, were represented by Judge J.

In reply to a question from Mr. Peters, Mr. Cottrell said he wanted the same privileges for his elevator at Perkins, as were granted to those in Terre Haute. The railroad company contends that Perkins, which is about four miles south of the center of the city, is a separate station.

Up To Full Commission.

C. E. Cook, district weight inspector, was the next witness called. He testified that transit privileges were in existence and that the following railroads were parties to the agreement: Chicago and Eastern Illinois Chicago, Terre Haute and Southeastern Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Vandalia and Evansville and Indianapolis.

Daniel C. Cottrell was called and gave testimony similar to that given by his brother.

P. M. Fagin. general agent of the Chicago, Terre Haute and Southeastern at Terre Haute, was next called. He testified that every freight bill ever made out in his office was made out in accord with the existing tariffs. He explained the difference between the rates on domestic and export grain and gave the reasons his company considered Perkins a separate station from Terre Haute.

The hearing of the case of the Wabash Sand and Gravel company vs. the Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad company opened before Examiner Hor ton at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, j« Gravel from Wabash valley points is practically excluded from southern IIlinois points on account of the high freight rates and the Wabash Sand and Gravel company is endeavoring to secure rates to southern Illinois points in proportion to those from Thorntown.

'Piety,

while the defendant was represented by \V. F. Peters, general attorney fur the railroad company.

The first witness called was Bert 'ottrell. He said he understood that transit privileges were in force allowing local concerns to ship in grain, clean, mix and then load out at the original rate. Mr. Cottrell said he had demanded this privilege from the railroad company and that it had been refused. He said this privilege was enjoyed by other local grain buyers and that the effect of this was to handicap him.

The sand and gravel company was represented by Judge James S. Swanj/o, while the Chicago and Eastern Illinois was represented by C. B. Cardy, general attorney of the railroad company.

Lee R. Witty, general manager of the sand and gravel company, was on the witness stand early in the afternoon. Mr. Witty told of conditions existing now, which he said, were discriminating against Terre Haute and explained certain changes in rates from points on the Chicago and Eastern Illinois to points in southern Illinois, which would result in a satisfactory readjustment if they were made.

STATUS OF WATER WORKS CASE.

That the suit brought against the Terre Haute water works for a reduction of the water rates within the city limits, which for the past year has been pending before the public utilities commission, is now in the bands of the commission and all the legal procedure completed was the statement of George

Dix, law part

ner of City Attorney Clareuce Royse. A decision is expected to be fianded down by that body soon, he says. The case against gas company has been completed with the exception of the argument and Mr. Dix expects that the commission will call for argument within the next two weeks.

Mr. Dix also said that the case against the electric light company which is similar to the two other cases in its demands is now completed and 1he oity is ready to present its evidence before the commission at any time.

STATE NORMAL NOTES.

Professor Frank Smith Bogardus of the department of European history read a paper at chapel this morning on the subject, "The Foreground and the Background of the Good Samaritan Story."

A collection was taken this morning among the students to help in providing supplies to be sent on the Indiana ship for the Belgian relief fund.

The Forum met at the club rooms

011

North Seventh street yesterday evening and gave an interesting program. George Hahn spoke on "Kid Glove Farming."

The Y. M. and T. "W. C. A. of the school held a joint student program this afternoon at 3:30. Miss Katherine Tracy and Clarence Schlegel were the speakers. C. C. Carson gave a special reading.

The school will observe Thanksgiving vacation on Thursday and Friday of this week. It was thought that school would be held on Friday to make up for the holiday given a few weeks ago, but the school work for the week will close at 3:30 Wednesday.

The Normal representatives to the state T. M. C. A. conference at Huntington last week returned yesterday and reported a large attendance. The Normal school was represented by Lloyd Brumbaugh, Walter Shriner, Clarence Schlegel and Professor William McBeth. Prof. McBeth served on the finance committee appointed by the convention and Clarence Schlegel on the resolutions committee.
