AN ERRONEOUS REPORT. A copy of the following resolutions with reference to the Interstate commerce commission, which were passed by the board of directors of tha Weber Hub, has been sent to George P, Frye, president pro tem of the senate; Joseph G. Cannon, sjieaker of the house; Senators Thomas Kearns and Reed Smoot, and Congressman Joseph Howell. The resolutions follow: Resolved, That the Weber club, the business men's asoclntlon of Ogden, Utah, recognizes the great benefit to the commercial interests of the country secured by the enactment by the last congress of the Elkins bill, prohibiting any departure from published tariff rates for the transportation of property, whether by the payment of rebates or otherwise, and subjecting both the carrier and Hhlpjier to heavy iteniiltles for violation thereof; and which haa proved effectual In removing the flagrant wrong of discrimination between Individuals and shippers. Resolved. That it ia the sense of this board that It is of equal Imimrtance that legislation should lie enacted for the prevention of unjust discrimination In tariff rates between different sections and localities, and between different descriptions of traffic, and also to prevent the continuance of rates unreasonable In themselves. We believe this can be effected only by conferring authority upon the Interstate commerce commission to determine, upon full hearing under the provisions of the present law, what changes shall lie made in a rate or practice found to be discriminating or unreasonable, such determination to be immediately operative and so continue until overruled by the courts; therefore. conResolved, That the Fifty-eighIs he and respectfully gress hereby memorialized to enact such legislation as will, in its Judgment, accomplish the purimse above Indicated anil give practical effect to the primary requirement of the Act to Regulate Commerce, ed report reached the sheriffs office this morning that some stock had been stolen from a fanner in the vicinity of West Weber and that It was believed to be In a neighbor's barn.
