BURNED At THE STAKE.
Shocking Fate Of Negro Outrager
I'm Louisiana.

A thousand people gathered at Doyline,
La, to witness the burning at the stake of
William Street, a negro, who attempted
the ruin and murder of Mrs. Parish. The
crime was committed on the evening of
May 30. The people erected post near
the railroad track near the town, quietly
piled the light wood and kindling satur-
ated with coal oil, preparatory to chain
an9 Street TO the post. He confessed
tile crime to a colored minister, but
said negro minister named John Rhodes
were implicated. He was tied to the stake
and uttered not word as the great crack
ling flames shot up in succession above
his head. 1t was a shocking sight, which
lasted ten minutes, when Street was
charred mass. The woman whom Street
assaulted is in most critical condition
and could not identify Street when caught
until doctor held open her eyelids.

Lets Up on Censorship,

The government censorship on cable
dispatches has been modified to the extent
OF allowing commercial houses TO send

The only restriction on these messages is
that they shall not pass between Spanish

quests from commercial houses having
large communications With Venezuela and

them to expense in not being able to con-

MAXIMUM RATE CASE.
The United States Supreme Court
Amends the Former Ruling.


The supreme court of the United States
on application OF the attorney general OF
Nebraska, modified its decree in the max
imum freight rate case as prayed. The
opinion was by Justice Harlan. The
motion was to strike out the words Sand
below those now charged by said COM
panies." and also the words "And par
ticularly from reducing its present rates
of charges for transportation of freight
to those presented in said act" in the case
of Smith against Smith.
In granting the application to eliminate
the court said:
"The general question argued before MS
on the original hearing was whether the
rates established by the Nebraska statute,
looking at them as entire, were SO un-
reasonably low as to prevent the railroad
companies from earning such cOmpenSa-
tion as would be just, having due regard
to the rights of both the public and the
companies. In our examination of that
question it was appropriate and necessary
to inquire as to the earnings of the re-
spective companies under the rates estab-
liShed by them, looking at such
rates as an entirety. We do not intend
by an affirmance of the several de-
crees to adjudga that the railroad cOmpa-
nieS should not at any time in the future,
II they saw proper, reduce the rates under
Whlcn tiley We're conducting business at
the time the final decreea were rendered.
nor that the State Board of TRANSPORTATION
should not reduce rates on specific or par
ticular articles below the rates which the
companies were charging on such articles
when the DEGREES were entered. We did
not pass judgment upon the reasonable
ness or unreasonableness of the rates on
any particular article prescribed by the
statute or by the railroad companies. If
the state should by statute, or through its
board OF transportation prescribe new
schedule OF rates the question will arise
whether such rates, taking into considera-
ton the rights of the public as we'll as the
rights OF carriers, are consistent with the
principles announced by this court Of
course the reasOnableness Of a schedule of
rates must be determined by the facts as
they exist when such schedule is pu. into
force.'
The decree, as originally entered, not
only enjoined the State Board of Trans
portation from enforcing the maximum
rates, but also enjoined the officials of the
railroads from making rates lower than
those in force at the time the decision was

Big Increase in DeDosits.

The sworn statements OF all banks
doing business in Butler County have been
recently published. The returns show
the total amount OF deposits to be $685.
9lo24, an increase in deposits over the re-
port OF two months ago of nearly 81 per
cent. Fully % per cent. of the deposits in
that county are those of farmers. Loan
agents report but little demand for money,
and the records Of the county clerks office
show mortgages were being paid off and
released in way that bids fair to wipe
out vast amount of farm loans.
