company's general traffic manager

viction of his clients upon public opin-
ion. you can't defend rebate cases

gar to w I'll. Edgar & Son, OF De-
troit.
Letters from Palmer to Pomeroy ac-
knowledging the receipt Of drafts
amounting TO thousands of dollars were
admitted. 1t is charged that these
drafts represented the payment of a
rebate of ; cents. per hundred weight
on shipments of sugar to w. Fl. Edgar

tons were secured. the maximum pc,

Murder.

Smithville, Mo-. Oct 1S.-Jesse l..

has been arrested here charged with
killing his 19-year-old bride of week
at this place on Oct II. At the time
of the shooting Webb asserted that he
and his wife had entered into a sui
eide pact because he was incurably i'll
with tuberculosis, and that she first at
his suggestion shot him, and then
killed herself
The young wife was shot four times,
three OF the bullets entering near the
heart and the fourth striking her in

THE STATE
telegraph News by Direct
Wire from All Over
Indiana

Indianapolis. oct 18.-The case of
the independent oil rehners against the
Indiana railroads composing the Cen
trail Freight association, and incident
ally the Standard Oil company, will
come to trial before the railroad COM
mission Noy. 20. This date was set by
the commission yesterday, following q
conference that the commission had
with c. D. Chamberlain, secretary of
the National Petroleum association.
and Joseph Collier, an attorney of this
city.
Not Satisfied with RaIf a Loaf.
It had been suggested that this case
would never come to trial because the
railroads after the original complaint
had been filed, some time ago, changed
petroleum and its products from the
fourth to the fifth classification. where
1t was prior to 1890. Chamberlain
said. however. that the association he
represented would make the fight for
a still lower classification ON oil and
attempt to get reduction from the
fifth to the sixth, which would bring
about a corresponding lowering in
rates.
~ Story of the Matter.
The original petition, filed by the
National Refining company and the
Tiona Refining company, both of this
city, and the Evansville Oil company,
OF Evansville, alleged that previous TO
1899 the railroads composing the Cen
trail Freight association placed petrole-
um in the fifth class. In that year the
classification was changed to fourth,
according ito the complaint, and then
special commodity rates were made
from Whiting and other points in IN
diana, which operated very much in
favor OF the Standard.
Lowered the Petroleum Glass.
Some time after this petition had
been filed. the railroads notified the
commission that they had gschanged
petroleum back to the fifth classifica-
fion, and the case pending before the
commission hung fire until the indie
pendent oil men had decided whether
or not this was sufficient of conces-
sion to warrant withdrawing their
case from tile commission.
Still They Wern't Satisfied.
Chamberlain appeared before the
commission and declared that the indie
pendent men We're not satisfied with
the fifth-class rate, and ask that the
commission set a date for the hearing
iii the case. The date set for the last
OF the answers was Nov. Is. and the
commission set Nov. 20, FIVE days
later, as the date for the hearing tc
begin.

CURRENCY REFORM IN FRONT
That Is the Dominant Issue Before the
the Bankers in Council at
ST. LOUISE

St Louis. Oct 1S.-The first days
session of thethirty- second annual con-
vention of the American Bankers as
ISOLATION was devoted almost entirely
to the hearing of routine reports. There
was one time during the day when
the deliberations of the convention
threatened to become exceptionally
animated, and that was touching on
the question of currency reform. The
subject was not entered into. however,
being laid over for discussion when
the federal legislative committee lays
before the convention an elastic cur
rency plan it has prepared.
Currency reform is apparently the
keynote and main idea of the conven-
ton, and so many plans have been
presented and suggested for eonsidera-
ton that confusion has resulted.
