He was charming, full Of youth and

Commerce commission today. In az
opinion BY Commissioners Prouty. an.
nounced IT. decision In the cases Of
the Fred q. Clark company against the
Lake Shore and Michigan Southern
Railway company and others. and OF
the Waverly Oil works against the
Pennsylvania Railroad company n
others. In these cases the New York
New Haven and Hartford Railroad
company was the principal defendant.
The commission holds that h COM
bination OF rates on petroleum and its
products from Cleveland n Pittsbure
to points reached by the New Haven
railroad results In unreasonable n
unjust rates: that the refusal OF the
New Haven railroad to consent to par9
ticipate Ia through rates in that trafhc
IL unjust and unreasonable; that the
situation Is such as to operate greatly
to the advantage of the Standard OL
company.
The decision further says there Is nc
competitive relation between petroleum
ana its products on the one hand and
other articles of trafic On the other,
and that failure by the New Haven
railroad to provide john rates on pee
stroleum and its products while matns
tanning joint rates on other traffic does
not constitute wrongful preference and
advantage.
Needs More Authority.
In its final conclusion the commits
sion hold that the act to regulate COM
meTco does o authorize the commits
sion to compel the establishment OF q
s3olnt rate by connecting carriers nor to
prescribe division of joint rates or con-
0itions OF Interchange in case connect
sing carriers fail to agree in respect
thereto. and 1t therefore concludes that.
Notwithstanding the combination Of
rates complained of are unjust and un-
reasonable and the general shipping
situation IL such as to work a practical
monopoly IN favor of the Standard Oil
company, the commission Is without
authority TO grant relief in these cases,
and the petitions therefore are dis
missed.

The editor of the GaElord Sentinel

day and he wrote an account of his
own wedding for his own newspaper
in several years Of newspaper work
that the writer has dared TO tell the
truth about a wedding, for fear of get
ting licked, and does so now, with a
keen relish. The bridegroom is an
editor and is not a popular and ac-
coMplished leader of society-in fact
he doesn't know as much about it as
rabbit. His hair is red, and the
freckles on his face crowd each other
for room. In the dusk it is hard to
distinguish him from telephone pole
He has never considered that the flu
ture looked very bright or promising
1t has always kept him too busy pay
ing his board bills to have any dreams
about future greatness He is Just
common sort of fellow, and claims
distinction only in that he is a Kan

of Mrs. Marion Leakey in this county,
January II of las year, for which his
wife, Mrs. Ida Perdue, is now on trial
here, the attorneys for the woman have
broken their mysterious silence as to
the nature of their defense. From the
cross-eXamination of the states wit
nesses it is evident that they will at
tempt to show that Mrs. Perdue was
in another room when someone fired
the shot that plowed its way through
the head of DR.. Perdue as he lay asleep.
If she takes the stand Mrs. Perdue
will admit she occupied the bed with
DR.. Perdue the night of the murder,
but she will further testify hat about
midnight she left the bed and went to
another room. Her daughter and sis
ter were asleep. She will say that she
remained in the room until she heard
the report of a pistol. The two girls
who were also in the room will testify
that they were awakened by the report
