MOSES THArcHER's ADDRESS.
Delivered With the Memorial Exerci-
ses at Coaville.

CoaIyille, May 31.-At the memorial
services here yesterday, the large tab
ernacIe was filed to its utmost capac-
ity, standing room being at a premium.
During the course of his eloquent ad-
dress, Hon. Moses Thatcher said, re-
ferring to war: IF the present war of
the United States against Spain is not
justifiable, then it is the most coward
~ war in the annals of history" But
he claimed that it was truly justin
able. and that our nation was right in
prosecuting it He paid a high tribute
to Admiral Dewey, now at the Iar-on
Philippines, and said that he dewey is
now held as the idol of this and many
other great nations.
The address was a very impressive
enc, and was highly appreciated by all
present When the speaker was intro
duced, he was greeted with a hearty
round of applause, and, at the close,
the building fairly rang with applause.
A vote of thanks was rendered him,
which was responded to by the entire
assembly, which demonstrated the es-
TEEN in which the honorable gentleman
is held in Cos willie.
During the afternoon baseball game
between two picked mines of the town,
married against single men, was played
in the City park, with the result that
the boys We're not in ii at all. During
the game d dispute arose over a broken
hat in which one man gave another
the lie, and received in return a slap
in the mouth. Prompt interference of
bystanders prevented a might-have-
been call for the sheriff.

Moses Thatcher at the Coalville House
last evening, after which the hostess,
Mrs. Cuff invited them in for refresh
ments, which were accepted and par
taken of with pleasure.

dance in the City park pavilion, where
the light fantastic was tripped until
near the wee sma' hours.

NEBRASKA RATE CASE
BIG JUDGMENT AGAINST PULL
MAN COMPANY REDUCED.
Milwaukee Loses Its Four Cent Fare
Case-President Carr Inspects Gar
field Beach - New Travelling
Freight Agent For the Midland
Other Railway News.

The United States supreme court has
modified the decree in the maximum
rate cases brought from Nebraska and
a dispatch from Washington yesterday
gives the syllabus of the opinion by
Justice Harlan in the matter. The
modification was asked for by the at
torney general of the state of Nebraska
His motion was to strike from the de-
cree, printed at the time in the daily
papers, the words; And below those
now charged by said companies" also
the sentence, And particularly from
reducing its present rate of charges for
transportation of freight to those pre-
sented in said act" in the case of Smith
VS.. Smith.
The court said: 1.-THE general question
argued before US on the original hear
ing was whether the rates established
by the Nebraska statute, looking at
them as an entirety, were so unreason-
ably low as to prevent the railroad COM
panies from earning such compensation
as would be just, having due regard to
the rights of both the public and the
companies.
In our examination of the question,
it was appropriate and necessary tc
inquire as to the earnings of the re-
tablished by them, looking at such rates
as an entirely. We do not intend by an
affirmance of the several DEGREES to
adjudge whether companies should not
at any time in the future, if they saw
proper, reduce the rates under which
they were conducting business at the
time the final DEGREES were rendered,
nor that the state board of Transports
ton should not reduce rates on specific
al nal ha
which the companies were charging or
such articles when the decree was en-
tered.
1--WE did not pass judgment upon the
reaSonablenesS or unreasonableneSS OF
the rates on any particular article de-
scribed by the statute, or by the rail-
read companies. If the state should
by statute, or through. its board OF
transportation, prescribe new SEIZED
ule of rates, the question Will arise
whether such rates, taking into con-
sideration the rights of the public as
well as the rights of carriers, are. con-
sistent with the principles announced
by this court.
"Of course the reasonableness of 6
schedule of rates must be determined
by the facts as they exist; when such
schedule is put in force"
JUDGMENT CUT DOWN.
The supreme court reversed the lower
court in the case of the Pullman Pal
ace Car company VS.. the Central Trans
portation company. The action in
Volved property amounting in value
to nearly $4,000000,' transferred to the
Pullman company by the other under
a lease made in 1870 The lease was tc
run for 90 years, and the rental was
to be $240, 600 per year. The circuit
court for the eastern district of Penn
sylvania gave judgment for 1929, GA
This Judgment, being reversed, the SUI
preme court instructed the lower court
to enter a judgment for $727,S46, with
interest from 1885, when the lease was
Cancelled instead of the amount as
originally granted.

THE MAXWELL REWARD.
Public Meeting at springville to Con-
slider the Matter.

Springville, Utah, May 31.-At we'll
attended public meeting here tonight,
called to consider the disposition of the
reward offered for the capture of the
bandit Maxwell, a committee was ap-
pointed to secure the names of the var
ious members of the posse, and also get
from each an expression as to the dis
position to be made of the share of
each man. The committee is composed
of N. D. Crandall, Hon. William M.
Roylance and H. T. Reynolds. 1t is
probable that every man will express
himself ir favor of giving the reward
to Mr.. Allen.
]. A. Moore, constable from Joseph
City, was here today, to see if the dead
bandit was Pete Ueilson, as had been
reported. He was of the opinion that
the man was not Nelson, there being
no resemblance whatever. A young
lady from Moab, a former resident of
this city, says she is sure the man is
Pearl Mccarthy, a well known char
acter of that section. She's not pisitive
enough, however, to make a statement
under oath.

Morgan Johns met death solitary and
alone sometime yesterday afternoon in
the Belle Of Butte mine. He was work
ing on the 1S0-foot level. AS he did
not show up at supper, his partner
went to the mine and found him at the
air shaft, lying on his back, dead. One
hand was in the chute and the other at
his breast, with matchbox grasped in
it. There were no matches in the box.
and a search showed dozens of burnt
ones around there, showing that Johns,
while dying, had lit all the matches he
had and had probably done everything
possible to attract attention. He must
have suffered fearful agony while dy-
ing and was doubtless conscious to the
last

The American consul heard of this
threat, and when Captain Aarhuus an
piled for a bill of health Saturday after
the hour for closing, the consul did not
feel disposed to reopen the consulate to
help Mr.; Aarhuus assist the Spaniards,
so he held the captains papers.
The SchleSwig sailed at daylight Sunday
