WOULD NOT WED HoUGHNEY
Rosie Crawford Is Arrested for False
Pretenses.

case unique among those which
have been heard before Magistrate
Millar during his long experience was
heard by him yesterday. Rosie Craw-
ford. a l5-year- girl. was arrested
at the instance of John Houghney. a
man about 80 years old, who charges
her with false pretenses.
Houghney claims that some time
ago the girl promised to be his wife
and that on the strength of this he
gave her his pass book to get pair
of shoes at the store managed by the
company for which he works She
was not to get more than 81 worth
of goods, he says, but she secured
81 worth.
In addition tn this and while he was
still laboring under the fond impress
sion that she was to marry him, he
gave her 81 in money, he says. A
few days ago she told him that she
would never, no, never. as long as
she lived, ever wed him, whereat he
procured warrant for her arrest
Magistrate Millar, after thinking
long and seriously. decided that a
case of false pretense had been made
out against Miss Crawford and held
her under 5000 bail.

FRETeHT RATE WAR.
Santa Fe Opens Up a Big Battle With
Chicago Roads.

Chicago, July Ga rate fight of lib
eral proportions is on among the trunk
lines operating between Chicago and
Missouri river point centerS. FOr sew
eral weeks there has been widespread,
though secret, manipulation of rates on
all classes Of freight in this territory,
but there has been no open rupture De-
tween any of the roads until today.
When it became evident that peace
could not be restored except by some
drastic action, officers of several OF the
roads began to plan open reductions
in tariffs. The Santa. F'e was the hrst
to act, and today cane out with an
announcement that it would put in
scale of rates, effective July Is, between
this city and southwestern Missouri

secret rate cutters to realization Oh

ne rates promulgated by the Santa
F'e average reductions of from so to 40
and in some cases 80 per cent. below
the present printed tariffs
It is believed the action of the Santa
Fe will be followed by similar an
nouncementts by all competitors, and
that the cuts are intended to bring the
long standing secret fight for business
to a head and to force the lines that
have been out Of the pool to become

In making an open reduction IN
rates we are only doing what most OF
our competitors have been doing secret

Kansas City and Chicago has been de-
creasing week by week until it is only
A or per cent. of the total traffic be
tween these points, while one of the
weakest lines is carrying over Is per
cent Such a condition of affairs
could only be caused by secret rate cut

business we determined to make a
wholesale reduction in rates openly.

that ali our competitors will maintain

CONTEST STARTED.
Princess Hatzfeldt After More
of the Huntington Estate.

San Francisco. July 6.-The Chronicle
says:
From sources thoroughly well inform
ed and entitled to credence comes the
statement that Princess Hatzfeldt has
already begun legal proceedings which,
though not technically a will contest,
amount in reality to an attempt to set
aside, in part at least. the last testa-
men of her foster father, Coils p. Hunt
ington- In spite of the statement of the
princess, made at Sacramento in the
presence of attorney for the HAITI
feldts, just before their departure for
the east, that there would positively be
no contest of the will. it is declared to
be a fact that legal steps have already
been taken in New York with such a
contest in view.
Suit was begun in that city some
months ago by Princess Hatzfeldt, it
is declared. for daughters share OF
the estate, based upon an alleged con-
tract entered into by r. Huntington
at the time he took the princess. then
Clara Prentice. from her mother, the
sister of the first Mrs. Huntington, to
support and raise. Just how the HAITI
feldts have kept this proceeding from
becoming public is not explained The
action brought is not under an alleged
adoption, nor is it technically a contest
of the will. but it is a suit to enforce
a contract
