WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.—The Bo-
called trans-continental railroad rate
case involving rates on a vast traffic
in commodities between the Pacific
coast and the east was ordered reopen-
en today by the Interstate commerce
commission, ths commission announced
late today.
Hearings will bo conducted by Hen-
ry Thurtell, an examiner and attorney
of the commission. The case, one of
the most notable on the commission’s
docket has involved in its various an-
gles many decisions in ths past years
and grows out of the so-called Spo-
kane case. Ths main issue involved
is the long and short haul provision
of the Interstate commerce law. Traf-
flo in both directions between the two
coasts is affected. including most com-
modities, but not ths big traffic in cit-
rus fruits, which moves under blanket
rate arrangement.
The commission's decision directs
that the fourth section applications (for
exception frem the long and short haul
clause requirements) respecting rate*
on commodities from eastern territories
to Pacific coast terminal and interme-
diate points and the applications re-
specting rates on barley, beans, canned
goods, asphaltum, dried fruits and
wine from California ports by rail snd
water through Galveston to Atlantic
seaboard points be re-opened for fru-
ther bearing respecting changed con-
dition* that are alleged to justify other
and different orders than those already
entered by the commlesion.
DALLAS, Texas, Oct. 31.—James
Walton, a St. Louis electrician, was

lice under the guidance of L. D. Alex-

cording to the officers, to having par-
ticipated in the 330,000 automobile
robbery of a pay car of the Burroughs
Adding Machine Company in Detroit,
Aug. 4, last.
The police said Walton implicated
two other men, still at large, who were
alleged to have gotten most of the
stolen money.
A man whom authorities believe was

miles from the scene of the hold-up

"I know that the way in which we
have preserved peace is objected to,”
said the President, "and that certain
gentlemen say they would have taken
some other way that would inevitably
have resulted in war, but I am not
expecting this country to get into war,
partly because I am not expecting these
gentlemen to have a chance to make a
mess of it."
Taking the work done by the admin-
istration for the farmers as his text,
Mr. Wilson declared
"We want the privilege of represent-
ing the Whole force of the Nation."
The occasion of the President’s sd-
drers was the celebration of Farn-
era Day at Shadow lawn, but a dele-
gation of architects and engineers from
Nsw York led by a band also came to
the West End railroad station by tram
and marched to the President’s sum-
mer home to hear the address. Farm-
ers from New Jersey and other nearby
States attended the celebration.

Grain exporters and forwarding agents

tion in Federal grain inspection charge*
at a hearing held here today to con-
sider the tentative draft of rulea pro-
posed for inspection of grain and ad-
ministration of the grain standards
act recently passed by Congress.
Charles J. Brand, chief' of the office of
markets and rural organizations, and
W. A. Taylor, chief of the bureau ot
plant industry conducted the hearing
it was contented that the inspection
charge of >2 per thousand bushels of
grain in holds and a similar charge
for inspection of bulk grain in bins was
likely to work a hardship on the in-
terests handling the grain. An in-
spection charge of >15 for an average
hold of 40,000 bushels and a maximum
charge of 75 cents per thousand bush-
els for grain in blns, was suggested.
