RATES DECISION
FAY0RSJH1PPERS
Commission Allows Increases on Bi
tuminous Coal, Coke, Fruit '
and Vegetables.
DENIED ON GRAIN AND STOCK
WASHINGTON. Aug. 11. The In
terstate Commerce commission today
granted a portion of the freight rate
Increases asked by the western rail
roads and refuted to sanction others.
The advances which tho roads are
allowed are comparatively small. On
the items which would have netted
the greatest revenue the increases
were denied.
On the ground that their income
was too low the roads asked for in
creases in carload rates on commodi
ties, but did not ask for any uniform
advances. Their program would
have increased their income approx
imately $10,000,000 a year.
The majority of the commission In re
fusing the principal Increases, took the
view that, some of the roads which were
In straits suffered from bad management
and financial operations. Commissioners
Daniels and Rarlan, the minority, agreed
with all the Increases granted, contended
that others should have been allowed and
held that Improper financial management
should not debar the roads from receiv
ing reasonable rates for service.
The decision affecta all the roada weat

The commission summarised its find

WATCH AND WAIT
FOR HARRY THAW
Tractor Men at Fremont Anxious to
See Man, but He's Not Strong
for Plow.
BIO CROWDS IN ATTENDANCE
Thosandsu of eyes searched tbe
tractor demonstration field all
Wednesday afternoon . at Fremont.
They were searching for one man.
"I wonder where he is," men were
saying
"Would he be in an auto? They
say he has a party with him."
Still the great tractora plowed
acre after acre and field after field.
Yet tbe eyes of the multitudes were
more engaged in searching the stub
ble field for this one much-eought
man, rather than in watching the
splendid power farming demonstra
tion that was going to waste.
- That one man waa In Omaha, all the
time, riding around In a big touring car
vlth John C Wharton. He had no In
tention of K1ne to Fremont He was
Harry K. ihaw, who la motoring to Cali
fornia, anl U stopping In Omaha on lila
way.
Some mischief lover had spread the
l.rws at Yromont that Harry Thaw wa
to motor fYemont from Omaha, lht
ho would then and there mount a giant
tractor, Jo.- the throttle and gallop
around the bli: field with a cluater ef
gang plows routing at his heels.
But Hary Thaw la not strong for the
plow. He Ltlieves In wheat and corn. In
fict, he la In favor of agricultural prod
ucts. But ha prefers them after ttwy
have gone tnioitgh the deft hands ot the
chef of the Fon telle hotel.

For that reason Thaw did not )low

reason he atuck close to the Fon telle hotel
In Omaha- where sn coarse a commodity
ta wheat presents Itself only In the form
of pie crust, and where corn is served in
I out glass with a chaser.
When the rain wae over, however, and
i the crowd had about convinced ltaelf that
1 Thw W6U'"1 "ot appear Interest began to
center in the tractor demonstration again,
and a big demonstration It was, too.
With thn third day of the tractor show
relegated to history, the lOOO-acre field Is
beginning to turn black, instead of the
golden hue of tha stubble field. That la.
the tractors drawing huge gang plows of
many bottoms are rapidly converting a
gigantic stubble field Into a field of fall
plowing.
Orders are being given ateadlly for
tractors. ' The farmers from a half dosen
states, who are visiting the show are
morn than ever convinced that the horse
for heavy farm work has pasaed and
that the tractor age Is upon tltem. While!
last year, which was the Sooond year of)
the show, many tractors were sold on the
ground, the orders are coming much bet
ter thia year. Saleamen and demonstrat
ors) are kept busy taking orders and ex
plaining technical points ef the various
machines each day after the big demon
stration, during which the fanners have
aelected the traotor they want.

part of the finished film, will probably
not be brought to Fremont, but will be
photographed later on their reservation,
where the setting will be better for the
