FREIGHT RATE HIKE TO COST CITY FIRMS HUGE SUM

12-CENT BOOST IS ORDERED ON N. Y. SHIPPING Rail Revenues to Increase Nearly $12,000,000 by Federal Edict. RETAIL STORES ARE HIT Manufacturers ‘Get Break’ in Revision, Asserts Traffic Expert. Retailers of Indianapolis and Indiana firms shipping to and from New York were dealt a body blow today by the interstate commerce commission when freight rates were increased 12 cents for 100 pounds The revision, made by the federal commission to increase railroad revenues between $10,000,000 and *12,000.000. means that Indianapolis retail stores purchasing 100 pounds of first-class merchandise in New York will be compelled to pay $1.44 freightage on 100 pounds in lieu of the old rate of * 32. This was the opinion expressed by R. B. Coapstick manager of traffic bureau of the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce, after a perusal of the rates revised by the commission and issued for publication today in Washington, D. C. Fought for Rates -We sought to keep the freight rate to New York at even keel, • Coapstick declared.” The commission’s examiner asked an increase. We filed an exception to his report and fought the case, but the commission's findings show we lost. ’ Coapstick pointed out that boots and shoes already under high Cenalties from the Grundy tariff ill—shipped out of Boston, would take a still higher freight rate than New York. “Boston formerly haa the same rate to Indianapolis that New York had.” he said The freight increases include a 9*:-cent hike to all first class goods shipped to or from Indianapolis to Pittsburgh. • "Manufacturers in Indiana will benefit by revisions in western trunk line territory, despite increase in fates on hauls," Coapstick averred. Difference in Rates As an example of the benefit to be derived by Indiana wholesalers and manufacturers, Coapstick cited the old” rate for first-class freight from Indianapolis to Kansas City as $1.37 and the new one at $1.40, while the Chicago rate to Kansas City was $1.20, and under the revision is *1.33. "You see the spread Chicago had over Indianapolis to Kansas City is cut 10 cents by the new rates, despite the 3-cent increase for Indianapolis shippers to the Missouri city,” he explained. "We got what we went after in reducing the spread for goods shipped westward, at least to some points. Take filth class freight, carload lots, from Chicago to Kansas City the rate now is 50 cents. "The old rate was 414 cent. Indianapolis’ old rate was 48 cent or a 7 4-cent spread over Chicago, but this city’s new rate is 524 cents, making the spread only 24 cents over the W’indy City's rate,” he declared.

ASK DAD—HE KNOWS

He Is 103 . and Can't Worry

BY SHELDON KEY Age looks with new eyes—eyes of the sage—which is the reason that when a man lives to,/be 103 years old, stock crashes, hard times, tariffs, or even prohibition are just events that pass quickly. At least this is the way John L. Skinner, 103, of Fairmount, W. Va„ and former resident of Hartford City, Ind., sees the big questions that are worrying a lot of “young folks today." Here are some of his views expressed while visiting his son, G. W. Skinner, 1143 Dudley avenue, Indianapolis. "Prohibition—that’s not the most serious thing on earth —but as for me, well, I drank lots of whisky and have used tobacco since 1862.” And as for hard times, he says, “I’ve lived to see good times and bad times—a change in administration usually follows such periods, and I believe the people will demand a change next election.” He is a “dyed-in-the-wool” Democrat and admits his second eye sight is still a little narrowly focused in regards to politics. Skinner, who iabored in the oil fields at eighty and married his third wife at the age of ninety, does not look his years. His step is spry and he would feel offended if offered a hand when crossing the street. He humorously relates an incident that occurred in the days when tomatoes were considered poison fruit and called Jerusalem Apples. “I was the first person to eat a tomato in Charles county, West Virginia he declares, “and when my folks found it out they put me to

STARK, HOLMES NEAR BLOWS IN WEBSTER TRIAL Charge That Attorney Had Coached Publisher Marks Hearing. . After a morning session featured with verbal tilts, state and defense attorneys prepared to make closing arguments late today in the criminal court blackmail trial of Irving Webster, publisher of the Indiana Journal. Webster’s trial neared the close of its eighth day today, while the defense crammed the last moments of the case with testimony of character witnesses for the defendant. The state charges Webster and Ben Newman, high pressure advertising salesman, with conspiring to extort sums of money from prominent persons in a co-operative advertising “drive.” “Coaching” Is Charged Prosecutor Judson L. Stark and Ira M. Holmes, defense attorney, wound up the last moments of the morning session in near fisticuffs when Stark accussed Holmes of “coaching” Webster when the latter appeared on the witness stand. “I’ll make an oat,” Stark said at one point in the trial—jumping suddenly to his feet, “that Holmes has been using the head nod system through this cross-examination.” Holmes quickly shouted “if the prosecutor has any oaths to make, let him make them to me out in the hallway.” Stared at Prosecutor Webster appeared somewhat calmer than usual today, starting directly at Stark for five-minute periods, as the latter fired questions. If the publisher is found guilty of blackmail, the court must fix a penalty of two-to-fourteen years at the Indiana state prison, with a fine not less than $25 nor more than $5,000. The defense called four character witnesses during the last half hour of the morning session, including Sumner Clancy and George Rinier, attorneys; Thomas J. Murphy, mail carrier and friend to Webster, and John Eangert, elevator operator. Howell Ellis, member of the public service commission, was called by Stark for this afternoon as one of the rtate’s rebuttal witness.

Bu United Press CHICAGO, July B.—The Chicago Church Federation, through a subcommittee, started an investigation of crime conditions in Chicago today, intended to determine “not who killed McSwiggin and Lingle, but why they were killed.” Alderman Arthur F.

Zion Lutheran church, will be carried on in secret, except that “statements of fact” will be issued frequently, and at the end of it* work, probably in the fall, the subcommittee will issue a list of findings and recommendations. Witnesses to be invited before the committee will include police and other public officials, but their names will not be announced beforehand. The objective, a printed announcement from the subcommitte® said, will be to determine: What are the crime conditions in Chicago? Who are responsible? Is there an understanding among certain officials and the underworld? What are the obligations of the police? The courts? The press? The politicians? The citizens? The voter? The church? The subcommittee was appointed by the political action commission of the federation which, since 1928, has urged the appointment of an impartial body to inquire into the organization and efficiency of the police department.

Indigestion and kidney rouble ruined my health. Food was not properly digested; my back hurt constantly, and my rest was greatly disturbed by night rising. I dropped in weight from 185 pounds to 117 in two years, and I was weak, run-down and nervous. “Friends insisted that I try Konjoia. The first bottle proved that I was on the right track and I have kept taking Konjoia for about three months. Every one of my ailments have been conquered, and I again have good health. Konjoia proved a blessing to me and my children and I will never be without this marvelous medicine.” It is tfye same splendid story of success whenever Konjoia is put to the test.
