to check baggage from residence to
destination, a privilege denied to all
others. Mr. Cosby nays lie offered to
pay jr-00 the year for a similar rieht,
and to clve bond to protect the public
from loss, hut was turned down. The
Richmond Transfer Company. ho says,
pays nothing for the privileges It cn

t'bnrKr? Higher Ratet?.
A.- a result of this combination, con
tinner the petition, tin- public is made
to pay higher rates. The former price
to haul a trunk to tiny point Within
the city llmit.? was -"? cents, and to
carry a bag was 1 "> cents, or two for
25 cents. Tin- Increase varies under
pr'sent rates. It Is mid. from 33 l-:>
per cent on trunkg to 1 to per cent, on
two bags.
Persons connected with the Rich?
mond Transfer Company, charges Mr.
Cosby, have circulated false reports
regaidtng his lliianclal standing. Kur?
th- i, ho says, they have given lower
rat- s to passengers who demanded
them than to strangers who were tiii
famliiar with the competition Which
< \lsts l.eyond the bounds of railroad
property.
On the ground that the exclusive con?
tract between the transfer people as
railroad men ami themselves as trans?
fer men is destructive of competition
and oppressive to the public. and
therefore In violation of the statute",
the petitioner asks thai an order is?
