objections.
Kansas City, May 15.-The coroner's
verdict III the case of Herbert V.
Croker, of New York, who was found
dead on Santa Fee train near New
ton, Kan, Is that he "came to his
death while between Kansas City. Mo-,
and Newton, Kan, from the effects of
narcotic poison taken into his system
Mt Kansas City before boarding said
train by means and manner unknown
to this jury" Chief of Police Hayes, of
Kansas City, says that Croker's death
was due to over-indulgence in whisky
and opium. Chief Hayes says there Is
little to indicate that the New York
man was robbed, and none to show
that he was drugged except as he did
it himself.
1t is learned that at "1O1" ranch,
Bliss, o. T., to which place Croker was
bound when he died, there is n letter
to Croker from Miss Fainette Horton,
Horton, N Y. 1t is understood that
Miss Horton was to go to the ranch
later and there be married to young
Croker. his mother objectine to the
marriage. A dispatch from London
quotes his father. Richard Croker, as
saying that Herberts heart was not
sound. The father is heart broken
over this second loss of son, but will
not come to the United States to attend

Most any law would be. an, i'm
provement on the liquor law now in
force in this state and it is more
than probable that the discussion by
the press of the state in regard to a
state dispensary law, will result
in the passage of such a law by the
next legislature. It will of course
be strictly opposed by the saloon
keepers and by some Of those who
are addicted to the, use of liquor to
excess. Under the state dispensary
plan, says the .Glidden Graphic.
"An liquor selling BY private indi-
viduals is prohibited. Consequently
all saloons as they now exist would
be closed. In communities where
a majority desired the state would
establish dispensary with a man Of
good character in charge, He
would sell liquor under such re-
strictions as the state would pre-
scribe. He would be paid salary
which would depend in no way on
the amount of sales. The rules
under which he would sell would Of
course be formulated with view
to preventing the abuse or excessive
use of liquor 30 far as possible.
Violation Of regulations would re-
suit in removal. The price of liquor
would be fixed by the state and the
profits from sales would go to the
state or!be apportioned to the COM
munities i'll which the dispensaries
were located. In any event the law
is not new experiment. 1t was in
operation in Sweden for several
years before the southern states took
it up, and was known there as the
Gothenburg system, from the name
Of the author Of the plan in that
country.

The testimony of Governor Cum
minis last week, before the Interstate
Commerce Commission at Washing
ton, is the most important contribu-
ton on the side Of railway rate re-
form which has been made since the
commencement of the present agita-
ton.
No railway manager in any part
of the country is more familiar with
railway rates than Mr.. Cummins,
and no railway lawyer knows the
law applicable to common carriers
any better than he does. He was
one of the formost railway lawyers
of the state for more than score of
years, and during period of time
when the United States Supreme
Court was forging its opinions in
what are known as the Granger
Gases. Those cases settled the law
and made it very clear that rate
making is purely Legislative func-
ton, and that legislatures in estab-
lishin rates must not fix them so low
that they would be practical con-
fiscation Of the property Of the
carrier.
The magnitude and, far reaching
influence of the rate-making power
upon cities and states, was so fore
IDLY and truthfully stated by Iowa's
Governor that even his adversaries
and political enemies arc commend
ing him for what he told Senator
Elkin's committee.
Without government control of
freight rates. "a few railway manag-
ers could counteract or wipe out Of
existence the natural advantages Of
any city or state. They could COM
pei one state to engage exclusively,
or nearly SO, in agriculture, another
in the manufacture of certain arti-
cles, another in mining or something
else. Without government control
the veal or woe Of every community
would be in the hands Of half doz-
en- railway presidents. They would
possess even greater power than con-
gress itself.
And again, disputes over inter
state freight rates have and will con.
tinue to arise between the railways
and the shippers who deal with
them. Should not congress provide
an'impartial tribunal to hear and de
termine such disputes? Is not a
neglect or refusal on the part of
congress to provide such a tribunal
betrayal Of the rights Of the peo-
Pile? How farcial it is for the rail
ways to contend that they are quite
competent,to settle all greviences on
the part Of their patrons? With as
much reason might the shippers ask
for a law giving them. the power to
settle all disputes between them
selves and the railways: All this
and ngwehsmorel.tsas nrged by, Mr.,
Cfmmiiiiiis ii favor st off saEiaw whioh
will give the Interstate Commerce
commission the power to pass upon
the reasonableness of freight rates
