band had held the title OF the farm at
the time of his death. A thorough
search was made.
Finally 1t occurred to one of the
executors to compile a list of all of
the agents Gov. Robinson had EN-
ployed during his lifetime. All Of
these agents that could be found were
seen and each OF them searched
everywhere for the deed. Finally ole
of them recalled an old desk that lie
had sold to n secondhand dealer a
few years before. The desk was
traced to a farmhouse almost adjoin-
ing the Robinson farm The desk was
searched but the missing document
was not discovered The farmer who
owned the desk was not satisfied with
the search made by the lawyers who
had visited him for that purpose. f.e
took the desk apart and behind

The wise old farmer and his good
wife were discussing the case of their
eldest son. The eldest son had been
absenting himself from the family
circle on Wednesday and Sunday
evenings with suspicious regularity
now these many weeks. Not only that,
but on those evenings he donned the
very finest of his clothes. Father re-
membered that in the counting Ell
quette of his youth Wednesday even
ing calls were considered by the girls
parents to mean business; also that
staying to Sunday night supper was
equivalent to publishing the bans.

fessed she would like to know who
the girl was.

RAILROAD RATE LEGISLATION.

RAILROAD RATE LEGISLATION.
mittee at Washington, Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Prouty said
in discussing the proposition to give
to that Commission the power to regu-
late railway rates:
II think the railways should make
their own rates. | think they should
be allowed to develop their own bust
ness. l have never advocated any
law, and l am not now in favor of
any law, which would put the rate
making power into the hands of any
commission or any court. While it
may be necessary to do that some
time, while that is done in some
states at the present time, while it is
done in some countries. l am opposed
to 1t. The railway rate is
property. 1t is all the property that
the railway has got. The rest of its
property is not good for anything un-
less 1t can charge a rate. Now 1t has
always seemed to me that when a
rate was fixed. If that rate was an I'M
reasonable rate, it deprives the rail-
road company OF its property pro
tanto. II is not necessary that you
should confscate the property OF
railroad; 1t is not necessary that you
should say that it shall not earn three
per cent or four per cent. When
you put in a rate that is inherently
unreasonable. you have deprived that
company of Its rights, of its property,
and the Circuit Court of the United
States has jurisdiction under the four
teenth amendment to restrain that.
l have looked at these cases
a great many times. and / can only
come to the conclusion that a rail-
road company is entitled to charge a
fair and reasonable rate. and II any
order of commission, IL any statute
Of state legislature takes away that
rate. the fourteenth amendment pro
tects the railway company"

HOW RUSSIAN FLAGSHIP WAS SUNK
Japanese Officers Tell on the
SouvaroH of OF tvensky

The first detailed stories of the
sinking of the Russian flagship and
the capture of Admiral Rojestvensky
have been obtained from Japanese Of
ficers. The captain of the torpedo
boat destroyer Murasama, which at
tackled the flagship. said:
AT daybreak of May 81 we re-
ceived a wireless message of warning
that the enemy's fleet was approach
ing and had arrived near Quelpart Is
land. The carrying out of our precon-
certed plan then began. Our duty
was to guard a certain roadstead. The
main strength of the third squadron
and a destroyer flotilla to which we
we're attached enticed the enemy to
the waters of Xxi and then checked
him north toward Genkainada.
Russians Fall Upon Decoy.
Our fleet, headed by the Matsus-
hima, opened fire from a certain con-
cealed place which the Russian guns
could not possibly reach. We merely
threatened them, and they. without
suspecting. promptly returned the
fire. At this juncture the Japanese
main fleet pressed the enemy from
the north and the great battle began.
MY destroyer was in a position
outside the battle circle, watching the
movements of the Russians, whose
firing was lamentable. Many of their
shells passed over the Japanese feet
and dropped in the waters beyond
One of these, having missed its real
object, hit us astern.
AT the same time the order came
to us to attack the enemy's flagship.
the Kniaz Souvaroff. We dashed
through the heavy seas toward the
enemy's ship to within distance Of
100 meters, when we fred our first
torpedo, fish-shaped 1S-inch White
head. We saw it strike the Kniaz
Souvaroff astern and soon realized
that it had smashed her steering gear.
Flagship Scene Of Terror.
From this moment the whole OF
the shell fire of the Japanese fleet
was concentrated upon Rojestven-
sky's flagship. Her tunnels were shot
into tinsel. Her masts, with one ex-
