Washington, March 4. Officials of
the department of justice and mem
bers of the Interstate commerce com
mission are greatly Interested in the
Investigation of rebating charges
agnyist the Southern Pacific railway,
to be commenced tomorrow by the
California state railroad commission.
Franklin K. Lane, of the Interstate
commerce commission, conducted an
Inquiry Into Southern Pacific prac
tices on the coast last October, and In
his report, from the evidence adduced
he found:
'The existence of an extensive sys
tem of preferential rates granted cer
tain shippers on Interstate business by
the Southern Pacific company. The
record discloses a list of 103 firms,
corporations and Individuals who en
joy what are known as special inside
rates less than the rates published
to the general public on the move
ment of certain designated traffic be
tween points within the state of California.
"That such shippers paid the full
rate published In the first instance
and were allowed the refund on claims
which went through the auditing de
partment under Instructions from the
traffic department that such special
rates should apply upon Interstate
shipments without tariff authority.
That such funds amounted in various
months of the years 1906 and 1907 to
from $30,000 to $50,000 per month."
It was also alleged by Commissioner
Lane that the rebates on state busi
ness were used as an Inducement to
large shippers to give the Southern
Pacific their Interstate shipments.
