Washington, May 4 (JP)—The
Interstate commerce commission
today authorized southwestern
railroads to cut freight rates on
cotton to meet motor truck com-
petition to Texas seaports.
The commission authorized the
railroads to disregard until June
25, 1932, its order issued July 15,
1930, fixing rates on cotton to
Houston, Galveston and Texas
City, Tex., from points of origin ill
Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas
and from southwestern points to
Mobile, Ala., and to Texas points.
Complain of Rates
Southwestern railroads complain-
ed to the commission that motor
trucks were hauling cotton from
points as much as 500 miles dis-
tant to Texas seaports and making
tremendous Inroads in railroad
revenues. They asked that they
be granted authority to meet this
competition through lower rates
and after a lengthy investigation
today's order was issued.
The order also specifies that
Houston, Galveston and Texas
| City are to ho considered a unit
in the establishment of truck-
competitive rates from points
more than 200 miles from Hous-
ton.
Meet Truck Price
It said: "It is our purpose here
to authorize the carriers to es-
tablish truck-competitive rates to
the Texas ports from such points
as may he necessary to meet truck
competition" and that this may
he dime “without the necessity of
maintaining any fixed relation be-
tween such rates and the rates
from points at which truck com-
petition does not exist at all, or
to the same extent."
The rates are to he fixed to ex-
pire not later than June 25, 1932,
hut the commission states that
they will he extended on proper
application and showing.

Oklahoma City, May 4 (IP)—
State penitentiary officials wer;
notified today not to accept writs
ol habeas corpus for freedom of
convicts unless accompanied with
a letter by Gov. VV. H. Murray.
Murray's action followed the
arrest of three alleged convicts
in Tulsa county freed by pur-
ported forged writs of habeas
corpus.
Governor Murray had the al-
leged forged Instruments In his
office today. Both the seal of the
supreme court and the signa-
ture of (Ins Pool, clerk oKthe
court, were termed forgeries by
the governor.
“Of course the court of the
state have legal right to Issue
writs of habeas corpus," the gov-
ernor said. "But 1 do not in-
tend that any of them be hon-
ored until I have been able to
o< nfer with the courts to see if
the documents aro properly is
sued."
| The governor said tha t in I ho
l past, he had learned convicts had
been freed merely by a letter of
the attorney out of the attor
I ney general's office.
The governor cited an In-
stance in which a man reported
he was a Missouri deputy sher-
iff seeking a prison as a witness.
He had a letter from the at-
torney to the warden .authoriz-
ing the release.
Tiie warden called the gover-
nor who insisted on an extradi-
tion hearing or which the al-
leged Missouri officer failed to
appear.
The three men arranted in Tul-
sa county on the forged writ
were Coweta Iwnk robbers, serv-
ing sentences of 50 years.
A fourth man from Coal coun-
ty, alleged to have been releas-
ed under the samo forged Instru-
ment, Is sought.
