' CHICAGO. Oct. 9.-E. O. Moffctt of the Moffett Commission company of Kansas City, Mo., was the first witness at to day's session of the Interstate Commerce commission, which Is investigating alleged rebates on grain. Moffett testified that owing to an allowance of l'i cents per hundredweight, which he declared Is given by the Cnlon Tactile Railroad company to the Peavey Elevator company, which has a rfumber of elevators In Nebraska, the elevator company Is enabled to bid a higher price on the Kansas CIUl Board of Trade for grain hlpped from polnts.on the Union Pacific line than any other traders. In this way, said Moffett. other traders are plated at a great disadvantage. - " .. or the C hicago. Rock Inland & Pacltlo Rail- oompnnv; 8.rptarv MrVann of the Omaha Grain exchange and J. T. J. Broad enax, president of the board of trade of Kansas City, were the afternoon witnesses'. Mr. Oower testified that for snme time his company paid the J. Rnsenbaum Grain company an allowance of 1'4 cents a hundredweight on grain elevated by It in Kansas City. Mr. Gower asserted that It was necesfiary for the railroad to do this to compete with the 1'nlon Pacific and other railroads, which were elevntlng their own grain. Secretary McVann, who was the next witness, denied that the Omatia Grain ex change has boycotted the 'Chicago. Rock Island Pnclflc. as was testified by wit nesses yesterday. Mr. Broadennx declared that railroads in Kansas City clean, grade, elfvat ani clip their grain In their own elevators without any "thnre charge than the rate for transportation. In view of this the private elevator lose monry In shipping grain, because It owner must pay tne freight rate as other shippers and besides stand the expenses of cleaning, grading and clipping In his own elevator. His point was that Uie railrondn should allow the private Independent elevator man a certain amount to cover this loss. The hearing will be continued tomorrow.
