THREE DECISIONS ANNOUNCED.
Alleged Violations of the Interstate
Commerce Law.

Decisions in three cases involving alleged
violations of the interstate commerce law
were announced today by the interstate
commerce commission. In the case of the
Paxton Tie Company against the Detroit
Southern railroad. the latter is held to have
Disseminated against the complainant by
refusing it any cars for shipments of cross
ties, while cars were furnished others for
shipment of lumber, stone and other
freight, and for shipments of cross-ties
destined almost entirely for the roads own
use.
The commission decided that the Pere
Marquette and Michigan Central railroads
did not willfully or Intentionally violate the
law in the case instituted against them by
Edward G. Davies. The latter alleged ex-
cessive freight rates on shipments of fruit
from Michigan points to Chicago, and an
unlawful contract with a delivering agent
in Chicago. -sa
In the case of William Wrigley, jr.,
against the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago
and st. Louis railroad and Others, which
attacked the railroads rule that the mini
mum charge upon any single shipment OF
freight shall be for 100 pounds at the class,
or commodity rate applying on the article,
this being enforced in the territory south of
the Potomac and Ohio and east of the Mis-
sissippi, the rule is held to be neither I'M
reasonable nor unjustly discriminat tive
against the complainant's traffic in chewing
gum. No opinion is expressed by the COM
mission as to the legality of the rule upon
traffic generally.

James, for many years a resident of Wash

sensational suit purporting to have been
brought here by his daughter Mrs. Daisv
Gilmore Dakin of Hannibal. No., and his
son, W. R. James of Boise City, Idaho, who
charge him with destroying the will of his
father, w. A. James, and depriving them
of large estates.
/ James has filed his answers in court. He
denies all the charges of his daughter, Mrs.
Dakin, who, up to the time of her marriage.
was a resident of Washington, and pro-
duces letter from his son in Idaho. who
declares that he is no party to the suit and
that If his name appears as a plaintiff
against his father as it does, the same is
clear forgery.
Claudius l.. James, brother of the de-
PENDANT, who would get a portion of the
estate If charges of plaintiffs were proved
defended his brother, and says his father
and not his brother destroyed the will be-
fore his death which Mrs. Dakin alleges her
parent made way with

CHICAGO WOMAN KILLS HERSELF
Because Husband Upbraided Her for
Smoking Cigarettes.

CHICAGO, January 2O.-Because her hus-
band upbraided her for smoking cigarettes,
habit which had undermined her health
and which she could not conquer, Mrs.
Sadie Thompson, wife of Robert Oliver
Thompson, sexton of the Oak Park Episco-
pal Church, swallowed a dose of corrosive
subimate, and died after lingering and
agonizing illness.
While she was in the fatal grip of the
drug the sight of her grief-stricken hus-
band and little daughter renewed her de-
sire for life, and; although physical
wreck, she prayed that she might live for
her family's sake.
According to the testimony of Thompson
at the inquest, his wife had been addicted
to the cigarette habit for seven years I'VE
have often had angry words over it," said
thompson, land she often had tried to
break herself of the habit, but she would
always go back to 1t again. She was ner-
vous and irritable because of the smoking,
and once before, four years ago. she tried
to Kill herself by taking morphine"

MoRR1ssEY ON HAND.
Discussed Situation With Trainmen's
Board at Philadelphia Today.

PHILADELPHIA Pa, January 20.-The
board of adjustment. with Grand Master
p. III. Morrissey and First Vice Grand
Master w. G. Lee, went into session at
the Hotel Royal at o'clock today. Both
Mr.. Morrissey and Mr.. Lee stated that
there was nothing to say about the con-
ference, which began shortly before last
midnight and lasted until nearly 2 o'clock
this morning.
Mr.. Morrissey said that while he ex-
peeted to see General Manager Atterbury
of the Pennsylvania railroad during the
DAY, he had no positive engagement with
him. 1t is understood, however, that Mr..
Atterbury will set time when he will
receive the members of the board.
1t is believed that the proposition which
Mr.. Morrissey will make to Mr.. Atterbury
is that extra firemen be placed at various
points along the Pennsylvania railroad
where it is necessary for the regular fire.
men to have assistance.
This. it is said. is what the board of adj
justment has had in view, and the board
claims that it is not only practicable, but
ar easy way out of the difficulty.
AS he was entering the conference with
the board of adjustment, Mr.. Morrissey
said:
Il am not in a position to speak def
nitely of the prospects of a settlement of
the strike at this time. 1 came here for
the purpose of adjusting the differences
between the company and Its employees,
ana Snail use my pest enQcaVOrS 10 90
so. 1t would be unwise for me to make
prediction as to the outcome of the con-
ference which l expect to have with Gen.
eral Manager Atterburg today Before any
conference with the railroad people I
must first go over the matter fully with
the board of adjustment.
r. l.. Cohen, chairman of the board of
adjustment said today that the situation
looked much clearer. and was not so acute
as it had been.
1T seems to be tending to a settlement
rather than break SAID Mr.. Cohen. Our,
side is certainly willing to arbitrate and I
have doubt the Pennsylvania railroad
officials would be glad to do the same.
Conference This Afternoon.
The conference of the board of adjust
ment adjourned at 11:45. Grand Master
Morrissey and First Vice Grand Master
Lee Immediately returned to their hotel.
They refused tc make statement as tc
what had been discussed by the board dur
ing the morning.
General Manager Atterbury has fixed 2:30
this afternoon as the time for the confer
ence with the board of adjustment and Mr..

cRosS-ToWN RAILWAY BILL.
Senator Frye's Ruling Has Cut Short
Time for It's Discussion.

The proposition of the House committee
on the District of Columbia to place the
tracks Of the Great Falls and Old Dom,n-
ion Railroad Company east of 18th stree.
on N instead of NJ street has failed
to large extent to satisfy opponents of
the bill who have been working against it
on the ground that it would injure their
property interests to have such cross
town line constructed on L or NJ street
These property owners fear that IL the "
street route is adopted at this stage of the
legislative proceedings the bill may make
progress and may go so far as to get in
conference, when they fear that with little
notice he route may be changed so that
the former plan to put the tracks on l. and
NJ streets east of 10Th street may be ad-
hered to. 1t is also opposed by residents
in the neighborhood of Connecticut avenue
and M street who base their objection on
the difficulty of crossing Connecticut ave-
nue. and coming in contact with various
| traffic at that point.
The ruling of Senator Frye. president pro
tenn of the Senate. that a motion to ia Ike
up this railroad bill is not in order until /
o'clock has done much to cut short the
time when it could be discussed. The
friends of the railroad hoped that they
would be able to take it up by motion i'm
mediately after the conclusion of the rou-
tine business of the Senate. If that had
been done 1T would as a rule have let them
in about 1870 o'clock before any other bust
ness had secured any rights for considera-
ton, so that they would have had prac-
ucally an hour and half. or until O'Clock.
to discuss the measure. The ruling that
the bill should not be taken up until !
O'Clock has resulted in other business being
begun after routine morning business
has been concluded, so that when l O'Clock
has arrived the Senate has been consider
ing other matters which have not been laid
aside. Yesterday the sealing bill came in
to occupy time. and today the Senate was
engaged when L o clock arrived hnSipasS
that there was no disposition to set aside
for the railroad bill. For these reasons
Senator Martin has not pressed considera-
ton of this bill. Just what the course of
the advocates of the bill will be in order
to give it more time before the Senate Is
not known.
