Are Announced.
SHIPPERS MAKE PROTEST
Interstate Commerce Commission Is
Deluged With Telegrams from
Pacific Coast. Objecting to Ad-
vance in 'Westbound Rates.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 10. Trans-oontl
rental freight tariffs, beginning January
1 next, will be advanced on all eastbound
traffic, both by rail .and by water. The
class rates on westbound traffic will re
main the same as thev are now.
The commodity rate on westbound traf
fic from Atlantic ("onboard pointa to Pa
cific Coast terminals will be increased ap
proximately 10 per cent.
On eastbound class rates there will be
a decrease on flrst-class shipments from
W.TO per ino pounds to S3 per 100. pounds.
On class rates in CMoano and Central
Traffic Association territory from the
Pacific Coast terminals there will be a
decrease on first-class shipments from
L40 per 10 pounds to J3 per luO. This
will equalize the class raws on both east
and weotbound traffic. The eastbound
commodity rate from the Pacific Coast
to the Atlantic seaboard piiints will be
advanced about 18 per cent on the aver
age, some of the items being as high as
t per cent advance and some as low as
per cent. It Is notable that the bulk of
the traffic moves under the commodity
rates which show a decided increase.
This announcement was made today by
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
The tariffs provide that the carload
rates between Pacific Coast terminals and
the points named in the East aluUl be the
sum of the local carload rates. Tills will
have the effect of increasing the rates
very materially.
An Intimation of the roads intention
to thus Increase rates lias been received
by shippers on the Pacific Coast and they
have, deluged the Interstate Commerce
Commission with telefjrams In protest. The
Commission has no authority to prevent
the filing of any rates the railways may
see fit to put Into effect. It. Is likely,
however, that a formal complaint will be
tiled with the Commission. The Com
mission then could Investigate.

HELENA. Mont.. Dec. 10. (Special.)
Dr. C. A. DunJway. formerly of Port
land, who recently left the faculty or
Stanford University to become Presi
dent of the State University .t Missou
la, has already iegu to stir up edu
cational matters In ms new home. He
threw a bomb Into the meeting of the
state board of education by declaring
that all state institutions should be
located In the name city.
These several Institutions, are sltu
ted in so many different cities and
he pointed out the great advantage
that would accrue from tlwir consoli
dation, and not only from a financial
standpoint, but also in the matter of
avoiding duplications In the course of
study, which It Is difficult to avoid
under the present system.
Members of the board were up In
arms against tne proposition quite
naturally from the fact that in owny
instances they come from communi
ties where Institutions are located. Dr.
Dunlway pointed out that the buildings
could be disposed of even below cost
and the state be the gainer in ten
years. But realizing that the proposi
tion stood little chance, he urged a plan
of unification In management with the
result that a committee of five was
appointed to consider the matter and
report at the June meeting.
That something along this line will
be done cannot be gainsaid, although
there will be uncruesUonably a keen ri
valry over .the Institution which shall
be the head. Dunlway prefers, the
State University, of course. A commit
tee was Appointed also to make a thor

several institutions with the view of
eliminating duplications.
