The question of restricting the free stor-
age of freight i'm the railroad warehouses
throughout the West is under consideration
by the Western trunk line committee. The
existing rules require that freight shall be
taken from the railroad warehouses within
twenty-four hours or else shall be subject
to storage charges. Enforcement OF these
rules has been lax, however, and their
abuse is said TO nave become In some In
stances fragrant. 1t is not IN for
Eastern Jobbers to make up mixed car lots
of goods TO fill several orders destined to
different concerns and places In the same
territory, TO ship in car lots TO some central
point and from there to make distribution
as convenient after using the privilege of
free storage of goods by the railroads far
beyond the allotted twenty-four hours. 1t
Is this practice that the Western railroads
desire to stop.

Wesley Bridges. a Republican election Of

day. Banks's defense in the trial before

that he attempted To buy an election bal

Afford excluded this evidence, holding that
a man cannot excuse his own criminal acts
by showing that he was trying 20 get some
one else TO commit a felony. This defense
question put 10 the Supreme Court Is
whether or not Banks was entitled to this
defense.
