that has happened for a long time
MIR. Koontz Explains.

MI. IAOOl1IZ Explains.
Speaking of the reductions Mr..
Koontz said today:
The rate on steam coal from the
Frontenac mines at Pittsburg to all
points, beginning at Atchison, through
Topeka and Emporia, thence southeast
TO the mines through Madison, will be
W cents ton, a reduction of from p
cents to 35 cents ton. For example,
The rate today to Lawrence from From
tenac is $1.25 ton; the new rate will be
W cents ton The rate to Topeka to-
day is SLIP; the new rate will be 80
cents. The present rate to Emporia is
$l.25 as against 80 cents under the new
schedule. Beginning at Wichita, through
Newton, thence back to the mines,
through Emporia, also back to the
mines, through Winfield, over the
southern Kansas division, including all
branch lines between these two lines,
the rate will be 81 a ton, a reduction of
25 cents.
The rate on steam coal west of New
ton, Winfield and Mulvane and north of
Strong City will be 70 per cent of the
lump rates. For example, the rate now
to Stafford is reduced from S1.9O to $1.65
and to Concordia from $1.76 to $3.50.
1T should be understood that the new
rate will in no instance exceed the
present rate. To points like Hutchinson
and other neighboring salt producing
territories 20 per cent of the nut rate
would mean an increase in the present
rate, but it has been allowed to let the
present rate stand IN such cases. The
rates to Leavenworth and Usage coun-
ty will be allowed a similar reduction,
all made on the mileage basis.
For several years." continued Mr..
Koontz, 81 have entirely overlooked a
fair readjustment of rates for the
Usage coal district. It was not done
wilfully but was simply an oversight.
The Pittsburg district being the big
coal field we directed all our attention
to it. AS a result when redcutions were
made from the Pittsburg district the
same differentials that were in exist
ence between it and the Usage district
were not maintained. The Usage op-
orators claim that their market has al
most been ruined. Now we propose to
go back to the original differentials that
were in existence when the Usage dis
trict was doing its big business and ap-
ply them to the new schedule of both
lump and steam coal rates. This will
enable the Usage district to recover the
markets they lost by the inadvertent
determinations made and should again
make that district prosperous"
1t is probable that the other roads will
meet the Santa Fe cut on rates both
from the Pittsburg and Usage districts.
The Santa Fe decided to take the in
itiative in the matter and reduce rates
without waiting for an order from the
railroad board at the end of a long and
tedious hearing. People are now be-
ginning to lay in their coal supply for
the winter and it was decided to re-
duce the rates at this time so as to
give them the benefit of the reduction.

Suicide Follows An Attack of yellow

New Orleans, Sept. 14.-With steps
in progress to depopulate both Tallu-

possible, and with an ample fever force
at work at both places, the country

surplus fund. As things went, how
ever, the state was left without much
of any money for current expenses,
and without any way of getting more
until the state depository law could be
put into operation. This is what caused
the Juggling of funds to save stamp
ing warrants not paid.
At the meeting of the state board
of treasury examiners Wednesday af-
ternoon, the bonds deposited by fifteen
banks were approved. The aggregate
amount of the bonds approved was
$4,000, so the state can go ahead
and deposit money to that amount.
Some of the bonds which had been
placed on file had not been examined
by the attorney general, and for that
reason, the work of approval could not
be completed. The board will meet
again on September 26 for the final ap-
proval of the bonds. All the deposi-
tories must have their securities up by
that time.

TO ENFORCE ELKINs ACT.
United States Attorneys to Give Spe-

Rebates and DETERMINATIONS.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-Attorney Cen
eral Moody Tuesday sent a circular let
ter to all the United States district
attorneys, IS in number, directing
them vigilantly to enforce he provis-
ions Of the EIkins act against rebates
and determinations Of all kinds by
carriers. The method of proceeding
suggested is by way Of indictments.
It is the expectation that this letter
will result in the prompt investiga-
ton Of all complaints made Of discrim-
nations by carriers, followed by the
indictments where the evidence war;
rants. The department itself, 1t Is
stated, has investigated thoroughly all
cases of determinations brought to
its attention, but 1t has not the facili>
ties for a prompt investigation Of the
discriminatory practices all over the
country, and 1t has been felt that these
cases were of nature that could be
safely entrusted to the discretion OF
the district attorneys.

com position Of the jury. which

II am sure of an acquittal this
time" she told Lawyer Levy,
'and every day only adds to my
misery in the Tombs. Ten
months and three weeks is a
long time to be shut up in pri-
son.
Lawyer Levy said today:
I'VE have new witnesses who
will establish Nan Patterson's
innoct nce beyond a doubt.
We go into this trial 100 per
cent stronger in point of evil
dence than we did the last trial.
We are not going to rely on the
failure of the prosecution to
prove its case for an acquittal.
We are going to prove the in
nocence of Nan Patterson"
The motion made by J. Morgan
Smith and his wife, the brother-in
law and sister of Nan Patterson,
to inspect the minutes oN the
grand jury of the case against
them in which they are charged
with conspiracy, was granted to-
day by Judge Foster in the
