LONDON, April 27. No fewer than

eminent has all along acquiesced in
sales by the railroad, company at prices
greater than J2.60 an acre. From 1879
to 1893 the Oregon & California
Railroad made semi-annual reports to
the Railroad Commissioner in the In
terior Department, he said, each report
showing it had sold lands for more
than $2.50 and giving the maximum
price asked and received during each
six months' period. These reports were
submitted to the Secretary of the In
terior and by him to the President, who
sent them to Congress, where they were
referred to the House and Senate com
mittees on public lands. Thus, he said,
the executive and legislative branches
of the Government had full and re
peated official information that the
railroad company was selling its lands
for more than the 'price stipulated in
the act of 1869, and that no branch of
the Government had questioned these
sales until the ' present suit was au
thorized and Instituted.
Having for 24 years acquiesced In
these sales, Mr. Spooner argued that
the Government was now estopped from
attempting to have the grant forfeited
for breach of conditions.

MISSING FRENCH FIGHT FOE
Corps Reported From Berlin as Lost

PARIS, April 26. "The German press,
basing its assertions on so-called losses
of the French army," says a semi-official
communication Issued tonight,
"says that during the Winter 36,000
Frenchmen, which is the strength of an
army corps, were put out of action in
a single sector of the Argonne. It was
said also that a second French army
corps, which defended this part of
the front, had disappeared after being
almost entirely annihilated.
"It is true that this second army
corps at the end of the Winter was
withdrawn from the Argonne, but the
Germans faced it in Champagne, and
to this corps is due a 'large part of
the credit for the French success on
the Perthes-Beausejour front."

HIGHER FREIGHT 01
MEATS PROTESTED
Railway Earnings on Traffic
Declared Greater Now Than
Average Revenue.
PACKERS MAKE OBJECTION
Carriers Declared Not to Have
Made Consistent Effort to Fut
Proposed Rate Increases on
Equitable Basis.
CHICAGO, April 27. The general
contention that the Western railroads
are now receiving returns amply ade
quate on transportation of packing
house products and fresh meats was
advanced today at the Western freight
rates hearing before W. M. Daniels, In
terstate Commerce Commissioner, by
W. W. Manker. assistant traffic man
ager of Armour & Co.
"Present earnings on the traffic in
packing house products and fresh meats
from South Omaha and Chicago are now
paying a much greater revenue per ton
mile than the average of all .commod
ities," said Mr. Manker. "The present
rate yields 9.7 mills and the proposed
rate 11 mills per ton mile."
Advance Costly to Armour.
The proposed freight advance on the
commodities in which the packers aro
interested is 3 cents a hundred
pounds.
Mr. Manker testified that the pro
posed advances in freight rates would
cost Armour & Co. $13,801.95 a year on
the traffic from South Omaha to Chi
cago alone and that on all traffic the
proposed advances would cost the com
pany $416,784.78 a year.
W. V. Hardie, of Oklahoma City, rep
resenting the Oklahoma City Chamber
of Commerce, objected to the advance
in rates on hides on the ground of in
equalities which he declared existed in
both the present and proposed rates.
"The rates now and the proposed in
creases in freight charges," he said,
"discriminate against Oklahoma City."
He also insisted that if the freight
rates on packing house products were
advanced, hides should be undisturbed.
Discrimination la Cfaarsred.
The objections of the Cudahy Pack
ing Company were presented by C. O.
Cornwell, assistant traffic manager. He
complained of the proposed advances as
disturbing established trade relations
and compared the freight rates on
packing house products and fresh meats
between groups of cities.
"The proposed rates exceed the fifth
class rates in many instances," he said,
and there is no defense for a com
modity rate which is higher than the
class rate.
-"I believe the carriers have not made
a consistent effort to assess the pro
posed increase in rates on -"an equitable
basis."
On cross-examintion the witness
said: ''Discrimination which now ex
ists will not be removed by the pro
posed advances."
