avenge HIS taking off Tho poor negroes became
frightened and hid out. Morrlss overcoat and gun
found in the woods, aud the excitement became
intense. Last night the hunters and avengers found
Morris dead drunk in the woods, and the story
leaked out It seems that the Morris family got
their Christmas jug of wllskoy earlier than they
expected.
Barnwel IS what Is called "dryS county, no
liquor being sold there except In jugs and dcmiIohns

VICTORY FOR THE BELL TELEPHONE
THE MISSOURI SUPREME COURT DECIDES THAT
ST. LOUIS CANNOT FIX MAXIMUM RATES
-CHICAGO's INTEREST IN THE CASE


-CHICAGo's INTEREST IN THE CASE.
St. Louis Dec 20 CspeciaD-The Bell Tclephons
company scored big victory in the Missouri Supreme
Court today. About year ago s.. Louis passed an
ordinance prohibiting the telephone company from
charging more than $50 year for an instrument.
Ihe charges at the time varied from $50 to s12O.
In behalf of the city t argued that tho city I'm is
charter had received from the State authority 10
establish by ordinance the maximum annual charge
iOr the use OF telephones within the city It was held
mat The statutory provisions relating TO telephone
companies do not, by implication or otherwise repeal
any provision In the city, nor impair the power Of
me etate or the city to regulate telephone charges
NO question was raised the power of the stais
to regulate the charges of a public corporation that
makes use of public property to carry on its business
Inc telephone company argued that the city did
not have the authority TO fix the rate and the sunrems
Court decided the samc way The issue will now
be submitted to the Legislature. Lawyers are ern-
orally OF the opinion that the Legislature can regulate
the charges The fact that the constituents Of
Senator'S and Representatives from all cities and towns
In which the telephone is in use will insist upon
their legislators helping to gve them relief make,
