drawn today from the aupreme court
declalon In the Inter-mountelo-rate cases,
In which, after nearly two yeara of con-
.(deration the court upheld the orders of
tha commlaalon by ui^lmou opinion
It had been generally claimed that the
Panama canal would reduce freight mei
from Atlantic aeaboard points to the Pa-
ctfic coast cities and vice versa, but the
queatlons to what extent the
might allow Interior polnta to share In
the beneflta of water competition en-
joyed by the aeaboard cltlea were In dis-
pute. The declalon of the court la tha
the commission will answer thoae prob-
lems and that the railroada may almply
nroceod to haul the freight. _
The railroada fought for the right to ad-
Just the trade balances «™mi
sections of tha country. The court found
ar anawer to the whole controversy ^
holding that congress had conferred on the
railroada themselves the right to make
discriminations In favor of a ton* hMg.
an* hence had the right V><fdid to
take this right from the railroada and give
It to the commission.
Had the decision been to the contrary.
It would have rested to the Judgment of
railroads as to how far Interior cltlM ahold
share with seaboard cities In the beheflt to
water competition. t . .
Applications from railroada to put Into
effect long and short haul rates through-
out various sections of the jV***
been held up pending the court s decision.
It Is expected that the commission will
at once take up those applications^
upon them and ir they are found reason-
able. determine by how much It Is right
for tha railroads to allow certain long
hauls to exceed short hauls.

John Walker, the boy, had been cm

over to his step-mother.
Then he lost his position and when he
went home, with no IS coming, his father
refused to let htm eat with the rest of
the family. To keep from going hungry,
he said, he took a rust-eaten rifle that
belonged to his father and sold it at a
pawn ship for enough money to buy some-
thing to eat. Then his father sent the po-
lice after him and he yesterday
lodged In jail.
"That boy's worthless," said William
Walker, the father, to Judge Clark. "In-
stead of working he wants to get out and
play baseball. He'll never amount to any-

Judge Clark looked from the angry par-

W. H. Gray, who won fame as a trust
buster before he became an oil operator
In the Tulsa field, vg del'rhted with the
pipe line decision of the supreme court.
Mr Gray Is an authority on the subject,
and In his opinion the Independent pro-
ducera and small ref'nera have won a
signal victory.
Mr. Gray put the Standard Oil concern
on the rocks In Texas. He was the main
prosecutor In the great Texaa state case
against the monopoly and succeeded in
his efforts to affix the penalty of dl -
solution. He has Investigated many
phases of the*oil business and has been
fighting Standard twenty years.
Mr. Gray today gave out the following

The prospective appointment of Edur

as agreeable to both factions. Hay, now

He was the hero of the first battle ol

Ysidro Fabela, a young attorney

conference. It was predicted here that
Lula Cabrera, now In Mexico, would suc-

to be that he played baseball. I'll say to
you that if I had a son 17 years old who

MEN OF MIGHTY UTAH

NEW YORK. June 23.—Officers and
men of the battleship Utah, sunburned by
their long stay In Mexican waters, attract-
ed much attention on the streets today.
The Utah arrived ofr Btaten Island last
night and was prepared to tie up today at
the New York, navy yard for a three
months' overhauling. The officers and
men will get a month's leave to compen-
sate them for not having enjoyed a shore
leave since the Utah left New York six
months ago.
The 300 men on shore leave today ap-
peared to be In the best health and-ex-
pressed pleasure at being able to escape
the heat at Vera Cruxx.
When orders were Issued on April ti to
occupy Vera Cruz, the Utah battalion took
possession of the customs house, the post
office and cable and telegraph offices and
the men were in the thickest of the fight-
ing. During the day and night of the land-
ing the Utah lost two men killed and ten
wounded.
pipe Unas will be statistical information
which can be relied on.
After the adjustment to tha pew con-
ditions the oil business will be on a
sounder and more sound basis and con-*

LONDON, June 23.—The crisis in con-
nection with the granting of home rule to
Ireland entered another stage today when
the marquis of Crewe, liberal leader in
the house of lords, introduced a bill to
amend the Irish home rule bill.
The terms of the amending bill are iden-
tical with those offered on M^rch I by
Premier Asquith and refused by Sir Ed-
ward Carson, the Irish unionist leader,
who describer the premier's proposal as
a '(hyposcritlcal sham." By the new bill,
the parliamentary electors of each county
in Ulster will decide by vote hether the
county shall be excluded from the pro-
visions of.the home rule bill for six years
after the first meeting of the new Irish
parliament
The situation has never been paralleled
In parliamentary procedure In the British
Isles. Never before has a bill beel pre-
sented to parliament to amend a measure
not yet on the statute book. This was,
however, the only means of overcoming
the deadlock, as the house of lords refused
to cousider the main bill until the full
proposals of the government were before
It..
In Introducing the amending bill, the
marquis of Crewe dealt on the religious
difficulties surrounding the question of
Ulster, but while he admitted the necessi-
ty for some form of exclusion for those
who deemed themselves affected by the
home rule bill, he contended that the ex-
clusion of the entire province of Ulster
owuld Involve great injustice. Conse-
quently the government, he ssld, had re-
iterated In the amending bill Premier As-
qutth's proposal of exclusion by counties
from the operation of the home rule meas-
ure.
At the first meeting of the nine di-
rectors of each federal reserve bank
the duty will devolve upon them of
designating one member of each of
the A. B. and C class whose term
shall expire in one year, one member
of each class whose term shall expire
in two years, and one of each class
who shall serve a three year term. Af-
ter this original term designations, all
directors will be selected for a three
year term.

HOXIE. Kans., June ! .—Hoxle Is

of farmers came Into town lamenting that
harvest hands imported from the east had
quit because of the heat.
'We need help quick and you fellows
must help us," declared the leader of the
delegation to a meeting of business men.
Half an hour later the town barbers
posted signs on their doors reading:
'(Shaves and hair cuts on Saturday
only." . , ,
The doors of the court house were locked
and every county official donned his old
etothes; merchants turned the\f stores
unt to women clerks; lawyers forgot their
(Ms and the doctor placed his wife to
cbargs of tba "shop."
Loss of tho harvest would paralyse the
town's business.

WHY THE REHEARING IN THE TAX
FERRET MATTER WAIORDERED
The Democrat printed an editorial yes-
terday. which was aimed particularly at
apologists for the tax ferret and the tax
ferret law.
In this editorial the question was asked
why Attorney General West filed a mo-
tion for a rehearing .n the case. The
answer has been given snd It relieves
West of ail blame. Occasion Is taken to-
day to this prominent place to the paper
to make this statement. He was order-
ed by Governor Cruce to do this, and
under the laws of our state had no option
but to obey. This the editor should have
known.
A brother of governor Cruce is an at-
torney for the tax ferrets. In this in-
stance as In so many others, where
brother A C. would prof't by anything
being done the governor came across.
The English language Is not sufficient-
ly strong to express the contempt the
people of the state feel for Governor
Cruce for this and other acts of Its kind.
Neither Is It sufficiently strong to ex-
press the t feelings fur some newspaper
editors and others who. Judging by their
actions wiil profit by tho tax ferret steal

While there has been no charge to that

Britton after being named defendant ln
the divorce suit ran away with hts chil-
dren, removing them to Kentucky where
he has relatives, in her petition for e
sepsration Mrs Britton asked for the un
conditional custody of the children.
Nothing, and not much ot that, wa*
accomplished at the regular meeting
of the city commissioners thl* morn-
ing. Mayor Wooden being gone on
the water works inspecting trip ana
Commissioner Qulnn being absent on
account of a slight indisposition, the
bare quorum that was present wa*
not disposed to transact affairs of im-
portance there really being nothing of
importance to work on.
The request of the park board for
a cast iron sewer line under the lake
mt Owen Park requiring an outlay ot
$1,500, was turned down, on account
of the present one being deemed suf-
ficient. G. R. McCullough and L. K.
Cone were granted permission to
build a storm sewer through Central
park, to be reimbursed for *ame whan
the city ha* sufficient fund*.
The application of Charle* Page fof
a part ot the water work* ground* to
be used a* a nogro park wa* referred
to Commlwloner Hunt and Attorney
Ramsey tor further conalderatton. The
board seemed to be ot tha opinion
that the city should share in the pro-
ceeds derived from this enterprise and
as there wa* no mention of *uch an
arrangement in Page'* proportion
further negotiation* will be made.

the companies of these matters, with
an additional recommendation that
the several managers of the transpor-
tation companies be arrested and put

was not attended to. This last rec-
ommendation was lost In the scuffle.
City Market Place.
A drawing of the proposed city mar-
ket, made by a local firm of engineers
was submitted far the board's consid-
eration by Building Inspector Harris
and Commissioner Downing. The ten-
tative plan calls for a concrete struc-
ture on Boulder, between Archer and
First, to cost, when completed about
$9,000. The building, as planned, will
be 150 by 140 feet, with provision* for
enlargements as needed. In the plan*
submitted, there were places provided
for produce, vegetables, meat and fowl
and hay and grain, ample stall* be-
ing provided for each dlvl*lon. There
will al*o be places provided for the
use of the commission merchants and
the dealers in fruit* and other Im-
ported wares. There will be a roof
over the stall* and each one will be
screen-enclosed and the whole build-
ing will have a concrete floor and
sewer connections, in order that
everything may be fluehed daily and
kept absolutely clean. Owing to tho
absence of two members of the com-
mission there was no definite action
taken today, the building Inspector
being instructed to lay plans befora
