many people who have sotne question in thei? minds as regards the more desirable varieties of apples to buy at certain seasons of the year At the present time the supply of apples offered for sale is very large and the varieties Ttumerous but there is a vast differ ence in the maturity and desirability of these varieties McIntosh apples have been loaded on to the market during the last few days in exceptionally large quantities The season Of full maturity varies somewhat from year to year but it is very evident that although the color is high these apples are not mature and mellow as yet and probably will not be for a couple of weeks The season for Wealthy apples is about passed so that Gravensteins re main the principal pie and eating ap ples which are indeed ripe and or de sirable

court today Judge Stough decided that the Illinois Cen tral railroad should pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in state taxes in controversy for 16 years He held that in accounting many millions of dollars were credited to lines of the company south of the Ohio river and west of the Mississippi river instead of to the charter lines of the company which under state law were to pay 7 per cent taxes on earnings in Illinois in perpetuity for early giants Of riglit of way The revenue and accounting of the railroad company for 1905 and 1906 was the direct issue the years since being subject to the finding applic able to those years Earnings Improperly Spread or many years past the court held the railroad so apportioned the joint edrnings from interchanged traffic that the non charted lines received from two of 10 times more than the charter lines did for hauling the same traffic a mile and thus greatly reduced the amount on which the 7 per cent was computed The case wes brought against the company in 1908 In 1910 an effort was made to have the state supreme court take jurisdiction but that court refused and it was referred to Judge Stough He has been actively in charge more than 16 years Evidence before a master in chancery took six years Six Months of Arguments Attorneys tor the state and com pany took six months before Judge Stough to make the arguments in continuous daily sessioii from care fully prepared written briefs The company employed 150 account ants and it took them a year to obtain the information required to answer the interrogatories of the state in its bill

Nov 10 Oct 10 NEW ENGLAND IN NEW IGHT OR RATEEQUAUn Joins in Coalition With New Yorjc New Jersey South Atlantic and Gulf Ports Before Shipping Washington Oct A powerful and giuldenly formed combination of the Northeast South and Middle 'Westppcared before the shipping board today and demanded equalization ofnt a front Atlantic uort and announced Intention of seeking equal ization of domestic import and export rates from the same ports The effect was to Isolate Baltimore and Philadelphia rontinuition port freight el iminate In 1 1 I 4 bouth Atlantic and Gulf ports Representatives of the new combin ation which overnight ha completely gltered tho situation caused by the long fight between Atlantic coast ports fcr advantage in rates later today Balled upon president Coolidge and ex vUtva tn him The coan lion was conceived by rank Davis manager of the Maritime association pf the Boston Chamber of Uommerce nd put through yesterday and last night at conferences between repre nentativea of New England New York New Jersey South Atlantic Gulf I states and pviddle western commercial rrganizatione and railroads Davis and Wilbur LaRoe Jr of CltirK ind LaRoe Washington counsel for he Maritime association directing tne activities To Test Rate Advantages The city of Boston which is co Operating with the Maritime asso ciation in the new campaign was re presented by Mark Sullivan Cor Boration counsel and Samuel Silver man assistant corporation counsel The city is prepared to test in the federal courts the right of Baltimore end Philadelphia to enjoy any rate advantage over Boston or any other port and the threat of this action is to be hiefly responsible for the long delay of the Interstate Commerce commission in arriving at a decision cn the petition of the Maritime asso ciation and other New England com i vnercial organizations for relief for New England from the rate advan tages now held by Baltimore and Phil adelphia This case was first heard before an examiner wnose report vio against New England His decision xvas to the full commission which has been considering the case for more than a year The significance of the develop ments within the past 24 hours from a XewEngland viewpoint could scarce ly be exaggerated Rate controver sies Involving the Atlantic ports have been fought before the Interstate Commerce commission for years New England has been isolated fighting aJcne battle most of the time New Coalition But today however there was pro jected into the situation the new coalition of New England New York New Jersey and the South Atlantic and Gulf ports against Philadelphiamd Baltimore The coalition demands from the shipping board equalization of ocean rates and from the Inter state Commerce commission equaliza tion of domestic export and import rates By equalization it means equalization of rates from competitive territory for example that the rateso Europe from Boston and New York houlrl be the same on the ocean as from Baltimore and Philadelphia or that domestic rates export and Im port between Boston and New York and Pittsburg or Cincinnati should be the same as between Baltimore and and these points the idea being that the competitive ports should fight fo business on their own merits or on the basis of superior ra cilities Instead of artificial rate ad vantage Taken By Surprise The combination is a complete sur prise to Baltimoie and Philadelphia which with their railroad allies will fight against it bitterly and strenu cuslv but which for the first time will be fighting at a disadvantage Inas much as tlie Northeast the South and fh Middle West have smoothed over their prior differences in these con tests and are now aligned togetner Baltimore and Philadelphia appear on tho losing end Another significant demand made by representatives of the coalition be fore the shipping board today was that the shipping board and the In terstate Commerce commission get to gether in their consideration of these Important questions of ocean nnd do mestic rates which are related yet jiandled independently by the board end commission It is well known here that the board and commission have difficulty in working together whether the reason be jealousy or some other and that New England has been getting the short end of the stick from both federal agencies Now comes this new combination and de mands tliat they get together and give mutual consideration to related rate questions The new combination was born late yesterday afternoon at a conference the Hotel Powhatan It was called together by Mr LaRoe who after re citing the reasons for teamwork hadMr Davis appointed chairman of the meeting Reporters were first ad mitted but then excluded at request mufti uerjtceui owwwm
