LEAST RATE GIVEN
REASONABLE" ONE
New Yorker Has Scheme to
Meet Relating.
WHAT ONE GETS, ALL MUST
Author Is State Senator Gardner of
Board of Trade in the
Metropolis.
WHAT ONE GETS, ALL MUST

At last definition OF what . reason
able rate is has come 10 light.
New York members of Congress are in
receipt Of copies of bill drawn by Sem
ator Frank s. Gardner. OF the New
York Board OF Trade and Transporta-
tion. which one of them will introduce
in the near future The purpose OF
this bill is 10 prevent rebates and dis
examinations in interstate commerce,
and IT is said this is the only plan thus
FAR suggested that attempts to establish
what a reasonable" rate is.
All Rates Pay.
The presumption of the Gardner bill
is that no rate will be given by a rail-
read. or Charged to anyone. that win
lose money for i railroad; and hence
when the discriminating rate is prsved
aid declared IL is presumed to be pay
ing rate, however small. and should
| therefore be regarded as a reasonable
rate and as such should be open to all
shippers alike
The bill provides that whenever il
shall have been determined that an un-
lawful rebate has been given or dis
crtminati.>~ rate lower than the pub
llshed schedule has been given, through
any device whatsoever. the act OF the
rate shall be deemed the making OF a
new or lower rate. The actual net rate
so ascertained shall be established as a
true and reasonable rate entitled to
be so regarded by all courts and off GERS
OF the United States.
Permanent for Year
This newly established rate shall be
substituted for the tariff rate. to be the
rate charged for twelve months, i'm
mediate notice OF this being given the
carrier.
At any time within sixty days. the
carrier or interested parties may insti-
tute suit in equity. the Interstate
Commerce Commission being made
party to the suit; whereupon 1t shall be
the duty OF the court summarily to in
quire into the circumstances.
In case the rate in question is a Joint
rate. the commission is 10 have power
TO apportion the rate between the diff
ferent roads should these fail TO do so
within twenty days the commission
In this apportionment taking into con-
sideration which road or roads are re-
sponsibie for the rebate or discrmin-
alton
This new rate is to be compulsory Ia
on the offending road or roads but
nothing in the law shall be construed
as forbidding the voluntary adoption of
sueh new rate by any competing road

FOX INQUEST.
Trinidad J,-v Tastens Crime of Mur.
der on lolltrxon.

Denver. April ia Trinidad dis
patch last night says: The coroner's
inquiry into the death of John II. Fox
Saturday afternoon was held this
morning. All witnesses who knew any
thing about the events leading up to
and connected with the tragedy testi-
fled and the jury promptly returned a
verdict charging Joe johnson with the
crime and finding that the fatal shot
was fired with felonous intent.
Sheriff Davis issued statement asst
evening to the effect that Johnson did
not hold deputy sheriff's commission.
Sheriff Davis said:
Il want to correct two false reports
which, l understand, have been gen
orally circulated. One Is that Johnson
started to the train. That is utterly
false and want to say right here that
he would have been handcuffed then IL
he had been able to make decent time
running that way. We put the irons
on him as soon as We reached the car
and they didn't come off.
THE other false report is that John
son was deputy of mine. He has
never held commission from me since
have been in office. l did think of
sending him after Shoblo, but had
done so L would have given him his
commission the night before he left
He would have had to surrender 1t ut
once on his return, as he is not man
l care to have among my deputies. The
records of this Office will show that he
never was deputized since l have been
in office.
What feelings the people have to-
ward me, l do not know. l had only
one thing to do and that was my duty.
l would have done 1t at all costs,
whether we had been successful in get
ting Johnson away or not. l cherish
no ill-feeling toward any one. The
provocation the people OF this city had
was great. i had no business to think
or to feel, only my duty to do. and
what that was to bring me l did not
know. l thank God we got johnson
away.
Joe Johnson has a wife and four lit
tie children, the Oldest girl of eight
years. They live in a pretty little
house on Vine street. Yesterday morn
ing Mrs. Johnson took her children and
went to the ranch below the city, be-
ing unable to endure the curious stares
of neighbors and citizens, to whom
they had become objects of curiosity
and pity.

ney Clarence C. Hamlin. Attorney
Hamlin stated that he felt it his duty.
under the circumstances, to save the
county needless expense, as it has
been shown that a jury could not be
secured. and that to go further in the
cases would be a waste of public funds.
Special Prosecutor Charles C. But
Ter. who was appointed by Jadge l.. w.
Cunningham to prosecute the cases,
said that he believed the district at
torney was sincere in thinking that the
cases ought to be dropped, but that
he did not agree with him, and that he
believed he had honestly worked up a
thoroughly good case.
1t had been planned to start the cir
culation of petitions throughout the
