Washington, July 7. Immediate
action h" will insure Kansas ship
, per of ' ly, grain and grain products
relief trom 'burdensome freight
rates,' ' will be requested of the In
terstate Commerce commission to
morrow, by Clyde M. Reed, chair
man of the Kansas public utilities
commission and the Kansas congres
sional delegation.
A formal application will be made
for a reduction in the freight rat;s
Jl'H gram, gram products and nay.
A Other hay and grain producing
states are expected to join in the ap
plication later.
"These rates vitiate all attempts at
a readjustment toward economic nor
malcy," Chairman Reed declared, tn
his formal application. 'The ex
isting economic conditions is such as
to warrant giving grain, grain prod
ucts and hay freight rates first con
sideration in the inevitable revision
of transportation rates.
"Owing to the great reduction in
the market price of grain, grain
products and hay, which reduction
has not been accompanied by a cor
responding relative reduction in the
freight rates, the grain and hay pro
ducers of the state of Kansas are
financially in a precarious condition."
The horizontal increase of 35 per
cent applied to rates in the western
group last Inly has resulted in a
maladjustment of rates because ot
the marked decline in the prices ot
in and hay, the Kansas onicials
declare.
The petition says the rates are
"prohibitory" and will "lead to bank
ruptcy and ruin of the grain and hay
producers of the west." j
4 Rcpesentative Christopherson of
rSouth' Dakota introduced a resolu
tion in the house today providing
tha the Interstate Commerce com
mission be requested to consider the
agricultural products freight rates
forthwith.

"The state department of agricul

some time that the postoffice depart
ment and the department of agricul
ture have been seeking to develop a
plan for dissemination of market re
ports to the farmers through the
use of wireless telegraph and tele
phone. We have been very much
interested in this and have been
holding ourselves in readiness to co
operate with the federal government
in this matter through our bureau
of markets and marketing in the de
partment of agriculture.
"When Mr. Lee B. Stuhr, secre
tary of the department of agriculture
in Nebraska, was in Washington
some time ago he took this matter
up personally with the federal
bureau of markets and the informa

would probably be carried on in. an
interstate way through the federal
bureau of markets, and that the dis

have thought that so long as the fed

I he president, who is wise to a
lot of things that go on throughout
the country, indicated that he had
heard about the doings of Ak-Sar-

Lincoln, July 7. (Specials

fiancee is not sufficient cause for the
breaking of a marriage engagement,
tinder a decision of the Nebraska
supreme court handed down today
and as a result Miss Jenny Sellers
of Humbolt. Neb., will get $17,000
from Louis Henry Howe, wealthy
Lincoln bachelor.

Jenny Sellers became engaged to
Louis Henry Howe when she was
14 and he was 24, and that the en
gagement continued until she was
40 with a goiter on her neck and he
was 50 with $75,000 in cash in his
pocket.

mother was living.
The trial court awarded her $22,
000. The supreme court cut the
award to $17,000.
