RICHMOND, Ind. June 30.-Bernard
Quinn. who last night killed his son. James
Quinn, in a struggle while the latter was
in drunken rage, has not been placed un-
der arrest and there will be no prosecution.
Young Quinn had been something of a ter
ror for years and had not only caused his
family endless trouble. but the police as
well, and he was considered dangerous.
The coroners verdict is to the effect that
the knife wound, which was inflicted in
Quinn's groin and severed the large artery
leading to the leg, was inflicted in self
defense. The father testifies that while he
drew the knife in self-defense, he had no
intention of injuring his son and that the
wound was accidentally inflicted in their
fall to the floor.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, June 30.-The de-
cision of the Indiana Supreme Court this
week upholding the law of 1901 compelling
express companies to interchange business
with other companies without discrimina-
tion, was of interest to railroad companies
in several parts of the country because it is
the first law and first decision a point
which has been much discussed in connec-
ton with proposed express companies to be
formed by railroad companies for the pur-
pose of handling the express business on
their respective roads.
1t is known that number of railroad
companies had contemplated entering the
express business, but there was doubt about
being able to forward express matter by the
old companies TO points beyond the rail-
road companys territory. The Indiana law,
passed for the benefit of the Southern In
diana road, fixed penalty for refusal to do
so and the old companies united in the pur-
pose to resist II to the court of last resort.
They we're not so much concerned as to the
business of the Southern Indiana as fear
full of the effect of such a law as prece-
dent in other States and it's influence on
other railroad companies.
There is little doubt that an appeal will
be taken to the United States Supreme
Court
