Detroit, Mich., April 7.—Foils
closed tonight with every indication
that today’s state presidential prefer
ential primary election had brought
out the lightest vote In many years.
Interest was especially apathetic, ap
parently, among the democrats. Some
Detroit polling places late today re
port that of the small vote cast about
95 per cent was republican. Even
1 he fact that two of Michigan’s best
known figures—.nited States Senator
AVoodbridge N. Ferris and Henry

send the democrats to ths polling
places.
Leaders for Senator Hiram W.'
Johnson of California continued to
i iaim victory for their candidate and
supporters of President Coolidge re
affirmed their confidence that the
chief executive would carry the stats
by a wide margin. AVilllam G. Simp
son, Detroit civil engineer, is the
uher candidate on the republican

Carriers Upheld
in Appeal From
Rate Decision
Shippers Can Recover Only
Damages Actually Proved,
Ruling in Short-Long
Haul Controversy.
Washington, April 7.—Shippers
charged higher rates for short hauls
than the published rates for longer
hauls on the same railroad and in
the aame direction can only recover
such actual damages as they can
prove, the supreme court held today.
In an opinion by Justice McRey
nolds, it declared the fact that the
rate for the longer haul was lower
than the rate for the shorter haul
would not of Itself establish which of
the two was the unreasonable rate.
The question reached the court In
four cases. Three came from the
Pacific coast, being brought against
the Portland Seed company and A. J
Farrington, who won In the lower
courts. The fourth case came from
Minnesota, and was brought by the
Great Northern railway against the
MeCaull Dinsraore company.
Shippers Recover.
In all the ckses the evidence showed
that the railroads had In effect, with
out the permission of the Interstate
Commerce commission charged rates
which were higher for a short than
for a long haul. The shippers in the
lower courts succeeded In recovering
alleged overcharges on freight, the
"essential charge being, "that the car
rier demanded and received greater
compensation for transporting freight
for a shorter distance than its pub
lished rate for transporting like prop
erty for a longer distance over the
same route and In the same di
rection."
The* shippers contended that under
the long and short haul clause the
lower publlahed rate became the maxi
mum which the carrier* could charge,
notwithstanding the higher published
rat# and that any amount collected
above the rat# for the long haul
amounted to an illegal elaction. re
coverable without other proof of
actual damage and without regard to
the intrinsic reasonableness of either
rate.
"No li-ool of I>oes."
Pointing out that the shippers had
not asked an Injunction against Il
legal rates, the court said that it was
an effort "to secure something for It
self (themselves* without proof of
pecuniary loss consequent upon the
unlawful act.”
Congress has not given any indi
cation, the court said, "of an intent
that persons not Injured might, never
theless, recover what, though called
damages would really lie a penalty, in
addition to the penalty payable to the
government.
The records in the cases showed,
the court declared, "that the carrier
violated the statute by publishing the
lower rate for the longer haul with
out permission and. prlma facie at
least. Incurred the penalties of sec
tion 10. Also It became 'liable to the
person or persons Injured thereby for
the full amount of dainagee sustained
In consequence of such violation' to
gether with reasonable counsel fees,
ns provided by section 8. Rut mere
publication of the forbidden lower
rate did not wholly efface the higher
Intermediate one from the schedule
and substitute for all purpoees the
loner gne. as a supplement might
have done without regard to the tea
sonableness or unreasonableness of
either."

Washington, April 7.—Prohibition
! enforcement conditions In Chicago
and Indian land fraud prosecutions
in Oklahoma occupied the attention
of the senate Daugherty Investigat
ing committee today.
Brice F. Armstrong. Chicago pro
hibition agent, testified that eight

ca,*> "under protection” In the man
ufacture of "high power beer.” Delv
ing into this charge, the committee [

ceedings to recover from Miller
Brothers of Oklahoma some 10,000
acres in the "101 ranch” Involved In
transactions where fraud against In
dians was charged.
Armstrong, the continuation of
whose atnry is promised tomorrow,
said "local politicians” held up the
federal government's moves to stop
the brewing. Even In the face of re
peated violations of the law by brew
ers, he declared, federal Injunction
proceedings were not successful be
cause of official Influence ani In this
connection he mentioned C. W. Mid
dlekauf, assistant attorney general in
charge of prohibition enforcement
legal work at Chicago, aa on whose
name had been reported to him as
involved In the "agreement."
Senator Harreld, republican, Okla
homa. made a voluntary statement
that he had seen "seed for scandal '
in the removal from office of H. E.
Peck, federal district attorney for the
western district of Oklahoma, by the
Incoming republican administration In
ini. He Intervened to have Mr.
Peck, who had been appointed by
the Wilson administration, retained In
service to prosecute the Miller broth
ers and their associates, which was
done, and also "stirred things up a
bit" recently to see that civil suite
were brought by the government to
recover the lands when he found the
delay in this matter.
