Kansas Railroads Decide Not to Adj
vance Freight Rates as
Proposed.

Topeka, Kan, Sept. 4.-The Kansas
cattle shippers have won their fight
before the state board of railroad COM
missioners. The railroads of Kansas
had announced an advance in freight
rates for September 5 which the cat
tie men declared was equal to raise
of Is per cent. The cattlemen imme.
diately carried their grievance to the
commissioners and a lively fight had
been in progress for several days.
Thursday morning the railroads an
nounced that the proposed rate would
not be put in force and conceded all
that the cattlemen were contendina
for. This ends the case.

THEY WERE NOT
RESPONSIBLE
Men Indicted for New Jersey Street
Crossing Accident Acquitted.
JUDGE ORDERS THEIR RELEASE
Instructs Jury to Return Verdict of
Not Guilty Because of Weak
ness of the Evidence
Against Them.

Newark, N. j., Sept. 4.-Chief JUS
tice Gummere, in the Essex county
court of oyer and terminer, Thursday
announced that he had decided to
grant the motion for the dismissal of
the indictment for manslaughter
against the directors and officials of
the North Jersey Street Railway COM
pany, who were accused of having. by
alleged neglect of their duties. caused
the death of Ernestine Miller. Miss
Miller, who was high school pupil,
was killed with eight others in the
Clifton avenue crossing accident on
February 10.
Orders Verdict of Not Guilty.
The motion to dismiss the indict-
ment was made at the trial Wednes-
day by Richard v. Lindaury, of coun-
sci for the defendants. In instruct.
ing the jury to find a verdict of not
guilty, the chief justice said that in
ally responsible it must be shown
that they had failed to perform some
specific act This the state had failed
to do. he said.
States Claim Not Proved.
The chief justice then went on to
state that the claim of the state that
the derailing switch is universally in
use, was not proved. as statistics
showed that less than ten per cent.
of the trolley crossings over steam
railroad tracks were provided with
derailing switches. That. the chief
justice said. left it a question whether
other safeguards were not equally
good.
The chief justice then referred to
the rules of the North Jersey Railway
company as laid down to it's employees
as sufficient safeguards under or
carried out. He said that from the
evidence it was apparent that if sand
had been used. as called for by the
rules, had the car been stopped 80
feet from the crossing. as the rulea
called for, and had the conductor gone
ahead to the crossing, to signal the
motorman, the accident would not
have happened.
Justices Van SICKLE and Dixon both
conourred in the opinion of Chief JUS
tice Gummere.
The jurymen announced a verdict
of not guilty without leaving their
seats.
The defendants were John D. Grim
Minis, of New York; A. ]. Cassatt, of
Philadelphia; E. F. c. Young, of Jer-
sey City, and DR.. Leslie D. Ward,
Elisha B. Gaddis and ]. Roosevelt

only after four futile attempts to sail
off the final race and after the outcome
had been admitted by even Sir Thomas
To-day's was the eighth attempt to sail
a race. After one fuke the Reliance
won the two following races, one by
seven minutes and three seconds and
the other by one minute and 10 sec
onds. A week ago Thursday the first
attempt to sail the third race failed,
and attempts have been made every
day this week. On these occasions the
Reliance led the Shamrock to the fin
tsh line Dy two miles, but failed to
reach it before the expiration of the
time limit of five and half hours.
Thursdays victory means that the cup
is destined to remain in America until
England is able to produce a genius
equal to Herreshoff in yacht design
ing.
A Great Finish.
Rarely If ever has there been more
spectacular finish than the Reliance's
Thursday. After racing for more than
an hour at terrific speed through a
binding fog, the Reliance burst
through the wall of mist upon the
vision of the spectators on the fleet
assembled at the finish line and, heel
Ing under great bellying balloon top
sail, until her lee rail was awash, flew
across the finish line almost before the
spectators could determine for a GER
tainty that it was she. Once more the
Yankee boat had added to the long
string of victories in contests for the
honored old silver trophy that carried
with it the blue ribbon of the sea.
Sir Thomas Grateful.
Highlands of Navesink. N. J., Sept.
4.-When the Erin had discharged her
passengers Thursday night and the re-
echo OF their cheers had died away Sir
Thomas Upton said: 1.-TWO weeks ago
| was hopeful; last week 1 knew I was
doomed to defeat. and was disappoint-
ed. but to-day I am almost glad in my
own defeat this America has been such
a thoroughly generous victor. l want
again to thank the American people
for their generosity to me in nv de-
feat"
Regarding the defeat of Shamrock
Ill. he simply said: 81 don't care to
discuss it any more. The American
boat was the better, that is ALL"
London Is LfstIess.
London, Sept. 4.-The final defeat of
Sir Thomas Lipton's cup challenger.
Shamrock I'LL, was received in London
with absolute listlessness. Most of the
afternoon papers published special edi-
ton announcing the result of the cup
races, but the announcement had al
ready been discounted by the dispatches
giving the progress of the race. The con-
sensus of opinion is that Sir Thomas Lip
ton has done everything that time and
money could accomplish, and widespread
sympathy for him is shown. The chief
hope expressed in the streets is that
Canada will enter the lists next year,
and possibly succeed where the mother
country has failed. 1t seems improb-
able that, in view of the failure of Sham
rock ILL.,, another challenger will soon
be dispatched from England.

London, Sept. 4.-The rate of dis
count of the Bank of England was in
