Ruling Predicts
Rate Reduction
Freight Drop Between Here
and h last of IHinois-Indiana
Line Expected.
A general reduction In freight rates
Iwnween Omaha and points east of
ihs Illinois Indiana, line was forecast
Tuesday by C. E. Ohllde, manager of
Chamber of Commerce traffic bureau.
This prediction is based on word
reaching here today from Washing
ton that the interstate commerce com
mission has just held that class and
commodity freight rates from Indiana
cities to Omaha and other Missouri
valley cities were relatively higher
than the rates from Illinois cities to
the same destinations, thus subjecting
Indiana manufacturers and shippers
to "unjust and unreasonable rates"
and gi^ng Illinois manufacturers and
shippers "undue preference.”
We are now preparing a complaint
attacking freight ratea between Oma
ha and the east," said Childs. "This
decision is likely to mean j< general
reduction between Omaha and all ter
ritory east of the Indiana-Illinois
state line. We Intervened in the. or
iginal complaint filed by Indiana in
terests which resulted in this finding
by the commission."

Annul Consent Decree.
Dallas, Tex., May 13.—Claiming
that, the competition of 4.000 whole

here, directed most of his annual ad
dress against the efforts of Armour
ft Co. to abrogate the voluntary
agreement of the five principal pack
ers entered February 27, 1920, to
cease handling unrelated commodi
ties.
President McLaurin declared that
the grocers’ association was deter
mined to fight through to end the ef
forts of the California Co-Operative
Canneries to annul the consent de
cree and the recent intervention of
I the packers named to repudiate the
conaent decree.
"Armour ft Co. and Swift ft
Co. present broadly the argu
ment that they are more efficient
than the wholesale grocers and that
therefore they should be permitted to
continue in the distribution of the un
related food items," he said. "Carried

have one great packer distributing
and manufacturing all the foods used
by the people."

Assessor Likely
to Escape Charge
Garage Mail 'Son t Prosecute
Kl a\er—Beal Holds Investi
gation Conference.
County Attorney Henry Beal Inves
tigated the Sam Klaver affair Tuesday
morning In a conference in his office
with County Assessor Counaman,
Welfare Worker Ida Levin and two
employes of Counsman’s office, Morris
Potash and Joe Stolinski.
The four were present at the gar
age of Herman Nachschoen, Seven
teenth and Cass streets, last week
when Klaver, then a deputy assessor,
was accused of soliciting money from
Nachschoen last October.
They corroborated their story be
fore Beal. But, as Nachschoen re
fuses to give any more information,
It is not likely that any charge will
be preferred against Klaver. Narh
schoen, summoned to the county at
torney* office Monday morning, de
dined to give, any information then,
hut said he would return at 2 and tell
ail about it. He did not come hark
and. when called by telephone, said
he had engaged attorneya, who ad
vised him to say nothing.
Counaman displayed a atatement
signed with Klaver'* name, which
says: "I, Ram Klaver, hereby swear
that Mr. Counaman had always been
on the square and has never received
one cent of me in all his life nor
made any demand for anything, and
[ consider him fair and square to
everybody.”
The statement was signed at the
home of Mrs. Levin, 211 North Twen
ty-third street, last Sunday, when
Klaver* mother came there and
charged Mr*. Levin with telling of
Klaver * alleged collection from the
garage man.
Mrs. Levin said she considered that
she only did her duty as a good citi
zen in bringing to Counsrruyi's atten
tion what Nachschoen had told her re
garding Klaver.
