N FREIGHT RATES BEING ADVANGED {John D. Rockefeller Re- Interstate Commerce Commiss’'on Begins Inv: siigation. Railroads Will Be Required to Justily the Increased Schedule. SEEIAE Dec. 16.—An investi- dvance in freight rates grain products, dressed from the Mississippi River, Chicago, etc., to New York and Zastern points governed by the New York rate, was begun to-day by the In- terstate Commerce Commission The testimony showed that $400,000 rev- enue would be added to the profits of one road alone by the contemplated increase. It was claimed that the advances wer: justified by the increased cost of opera- tion. The chief witness was Traffic Manager Grammer of the Lake Shore and Mich igan Southern. Traffic Manager Mitcheli of the Michigan Central also testified Mitchell’s testimony was qualified by the statement that his reason for increasing the rates was because the presidents of the roads had ordered it. Grammer claimed that railroad .ex- penses were increasing much more rap idly than the earnings; that even at the increased tariffs grain was not being hauled at a profit. The principal items of increase in expenses were maintenance of engines and fuel suppiy, and he pre- dicted, while admitting that the present price of coal undoubtedly was artificial, that prices would not get back to the old figures for vears. By agreement of the railroad represen- tatives Grammer included in his testi- mony not only a detailed statement re- garding his own road, but a statement of the general situation. He contended that the roads had been confronted for a iong time with the fact that they were rela- tively spending more money than they earned and this was because they were either spending too much on the prop- erties or their earnings were too small. At the suggestion of counsel and offi- clals of the railroads represented the commission decided to require the roads to file written statements by January 16, setting forth the reasons they rely on to justify the advance in rates. A new hearing will be held, probably in Wash- ington, at the earliest practicable date.

LAPEER, Mich.,, Dec. 16.—John Best, aged 28 years, single, arose from his bed during the night and cut Jasper Clegg's head nearly off with a razor, dangerously wounded his own mether and his siste and finished by Kkilling himself. Clegg, who was 60 3 of age, boarded with the Bests. Best was committed to the in- sane asylum about a year ago, but six moenths later was discharged as cured. Best appears to have gone first to the sleeping-room of Clegg. He attacked Clegg with a razor, probably before the old man awoke. The victim's throat was slashed so deeply that the head was near- ly severed from the body. The blade of the razor was broken by striking a bone. The murderer then evidently returned to Lis own room and to bed, as the bedding in his room is covered with blood. At a er hour he again arose and went to the com of his mother. He struck Mrs. Best a blow with the damared razor, badly cutting her chin. She sp.ang out of bed, grappled with the crazy man and made her way to the door.. Here she broke away from her son and ran to a neigh- Lor’'s, where she telephoned for the Sher- i, Best next invaded the sleeping-rom of his sister and slashed her on the check with the razor. When Beést heard Sheriff Myers enter- ing the house he appeared with a re- volver and began shooting wildly. He aimed the last shot at his own head and fell dead. Alaska Yields Abundant Coal.
