RAPIDLY.
New Business Blocks Under Course Of

"Waitsburg has a population of 1900

A Enochs editor of the Waitsburg Ga

business trip yesterday. 1.-The Pope
people have just issued a directory of
the town and in preparing the work the
representatives took a census. They
estimated that there are over 1900 in
habitants at the present time.
1.-THE business district is improving
rapidly. The new Hotel Guntle, a
brick structure, has just been complet-

Odd Fellows building. We now have

RAILROAD MONOPOLY WORST.
Prouty Declares System" Makes the
Schedules, Foregoing Rebates.

CHICAGO, April 1S.-Speaking In
oenalt or the interstate commerce COM
mission at the banquet of the Union
League club. c. A. Prouty directly de-
MED the principal statements made by
George r. Peck, general counsel of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul rail-
way, who prosecuted the question of
the establishment of railroad rates from
the viewpoint of the companies.
Mr.. Peck declared that the rebate
was thing of the past and that the
railroad companies established their
rate schedules with the best interest of
the shippers always in view
Mr.. Prouty said that while he be-
lieved the rebates to be not so preva-
lent as they were, they still existed,
and he charged that what was a still
greater indictment against the rail-
roads was that John d. Rockefeller and
the Standard Oil company had prog
ressed So far in their rule over the rail-
roads that they had made the schedules
the lesser privilege of receiving re-
bates having been foregone. He de-
clared the railroad monopoly to be the
greatest monopoly existing, one that
was entrenched and secure and could
not be disturbed or interfered with un-
less the recommendations of President
Roosevelt be carried out and the pow
ers of the interstate commerce commits
sion enlarged so as to enable it to reg
ulate the rates that should be charged
to the shippers.
He declared that six railroad systems
had control of SIS per cent of the total
mileage, and two thirds of the gross
receipts from traffic throughout the
country.
Judge Grosscup outlined the difficult
ties in the way of such legislation, and
declared it was not a question of arith-
metic but was a question of intent. He
said he did not believe that the rates
could be settled by commission, but
| was properly a matter for the courts.

OWNS TO MURDER DID NOT Dc
Extraordinary Case Of Dell BaIderson
An Iowa Man.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, April 1S.-In
the trial of Dell Balderson for the muir
der of Thomas Callahan last July a
psychological problem most novel will
be presented to a Polk county jury.
Balderson has made admissions that
tend to show he is the murderer, but
his attorneys say he has made them
under suggestion and has frequently
lied, to the extent almost of convicting
himself The most remarkable part Of
the case is that Balderson, twelve years
ago in Ringgold county, Iowa, con-
fessed to crime similar to that COM
mitted here. He was tried by a jury
which found him not guilty despite his
absolute confession and insistence that
he was the murderer.
The circumstances of the Ringgold
county and Callahan murders were al
most Identical. An aged man named
Taylor in Ringgold county, near Shan
non City, was called to his door in the
dead of night and slugged. He was
robbed of $4,000. Detectives worked on
the case for ten days and Balderson
helped them. He described the circum-
stances of the murder SO infinitely upon
one occasion that suspicion was direct
ed against him and he was arrested.
He confessed, detailing the crime, and
came near being lynched by a mob. 1t
was afterwards shown conclusiveiy
that Balderson lied. He was so worked
up over the case that he believed he
mad committed the crime.
BaIderson Gets Busy Again.
Tom Callahan was cobbler living in
South Des Moines. He was murdered
last July and $500 cash taken from his
dwelling. The murderer climbed into
a back window and slashed Callahan's
throat. He also slugged Callahan with
a blunt instrument. Balderson, who
lived next door to Callahan was at work
upon the case almost Immediately. He
discovered an iron poker which had
been washed in oil the morning after
the murder. This was turned over to
the police, who found that the poker
belonged to Balderson. The police ar
rested an Italian named Pigneri, in
whose apartments, which adjoined CAL
lahan's was found a bloody razor.
Pigneri is under bonds and is still ac-
cused by the police.
County Attorney Miller, however, as
serts that Balderson made sucn damag-
ing admissions about the time the MUIR
der was committed, and detailed the
crime so completely that it was impos-
sible to believe he could have secured
such information unless he actually
committed the crime. Against the pro-
test of police officers, Balderson was
arrested and indicted by the grand
jury.
Absolutely Innocent" Says Chief.
''It is simply terrible" said Chief
Hardin of the detective force. 1.-THE
man is absolutely innocent. He can be
