sociations in the state appeared before
Gov. Deneen today to protest against
the reduction in freight rates by the
state board of railroad and warehouse
commissioners. They said the reduc-
tion of rates did not so much mean a
reduction OF their wages as it did short
er hours, slower trains. and less trains.
and other economics, which would af-
feet and reduce the earnings of the
railroad employees. The governor said
the commissioners will hear the case
tomorrow and recommend that the en-
ployes file their protest against the
reduction with that body.

LAWSON is MUTE

Result of Two
Speeches.
OIL is GIVEN BRIEF REST
Physician, After Examination, Says
Muscles Are Merely Tired
Out.

Kansas City. Mo, July 1O.-Thomas
w. Lawson is in Kansas City voice
less. He is temporarily mute because
OF the strain put upon his vocal organs
by his speeches of Friday night at the
Knife and Fork club banquet here and
at the Ottawa chautauQua on Satur-
day.
There. is a possibility that Mr.. Law
son will have to abandon a part or all
of his remaining speaking dates on
account of his disability. yet Mr.. Law
son and his physician. DR.. j. E. Logan
of this city. do not believe that such
a necessity will arise.
Physician IL Optimistic.
Absolute quiet has been prescribed
for Mr. Lawson-an order which he is
reluctantly obeying. DR.. Logan said
last night that if Mr. Lawson obeys or
ders he will be able to speak at FAIR
bury. Neb.. on Tuesday, as he is sched-
uled to do.
Mr.. Lawson simply has strained his
voice to such an extent that the mus
cleS of his larynX refuse to work." said
DR.. Logan. THE muscles are tired
out. and, in addition, Mr.. Lawson has
a slight cold. 1t was to have been eX-
pected that a man unaccustomed to
public speaking, as MF. Lawson, should
have worn out his voice by two such
efforts as that of Friday night and
Saturday afternoon, especially as the
last speech was delivered in the open
air on a raw day and to a large
crowd. l think two days rest will re-
store his voice TO fits natural cOndi-
ton"
Returns for Medical Attention.
Mr.. Lawson returned to Kansas City
yesterday morning Unexpectedly, his
coming being made imperative by the
necessity of seeking medical attention.
Mr.. Lawson's second advent to Kan
sas City was a different one from his
first coming. When he got here last
Friday he talked, talked, talked. Ev-
erybody stood amazed at his ceaseless
flow OF words. Yesterday the Egyp-
tian sphinx was no more silent than
he. Not a single word could he utter.
But the voiceless apostle of the creed
of "Frenaied Finance" can still write.

affiiction.

Sessions of Peace ENJOYS
Out of Washington
Held There.
COMFORT CONSIDERED
Meeting to be in Government
Building at the Navy
Yards.

Washington. July 10-Assistant Sec
retary Peirce today announced that
the plenipotentiaries of Russia and
Japan had agreed upon Portsmouth.
n. H., as the meeting place for the
sessions of the peace conference to be
held outside of Washington. The ses-
sions are to be held in the new build
ing at the government navy yards.
Goes to Make Arrangements.
Assistant Secretary Peirce has been
specially commissioned by the presi-
dent TO make all arrangements for the
meeting of the plenipotentiaries at
Portsmouth. and is preparing 10 leave
for that place to confer with the COM
mandant of the navy yard.
On Government Soil.
The selection of Portsmouth was mu-
tually acceptable to the peace ENJOYS
of the belligerents, as besides beirTg a
cool and comfortable place for this
season of the year, it has the advan-
tage of offering a building on govern
ment soil, which is regarded as an i'm
portant consideration. This govern
ment, it is stated. did not in any wise
dictate as to the selection.
Live In Hotels.
While the sessions will be held in
the navy yard, the plenipotentiaries
and their STATS will live in nearby ho-
tells
