WILL GET A NEW TRIAL.
Case of Missouri Convicts Charged With Murder Reversed and Re-
 manded by supreme Court.

Jefferson City, Mo, Dec. 5.-Divi- sion No. of the supreme court Tues day reversed and remanded for new trial the convict murder case against Vaughan, Raymond and Ryan, who broke out of the penitentiary year ago after killing guard.
 Judge Can't wrote the opinion of the court reversing and remanding the case for the reason that the trial court erred in not giving instructions that the jury should convict any one of the defendants, or not, as seemed right. The defendants were tried jointly and attorneys for the defend ants asked instructions for the con viction of any one separately but Judge Martin held that they had con- mitted joint crime and all were guilty or all were innocent and re- fused instructions. The supreme court says this was reversible error. The case will come up again for trial in the Cole county circuit court next January.

A Kansas Law Upheld.

Washington, Dec. 5.-In decision in the case of Allen vs Riley the su preme court of the United States Mon day construed as constitutional the Kansas law requiring that copies ol letters patent be filed with clerks oi the state district courts in order to make valid negotiations involving the sale of patented articles under such rights. The case in which the de cision was rendered originated in Cof fey county, Kansas, where Riley agreed to pay $1,250 for the right to sell certain washing machine in Kentucky. The Kansas courts an nulled the agreement because non compliance with the law requiring the deposit of copies and that decision was sustained.

TIE COLORADO INQUIRY
The Interstate Commerce Investi- gation Transferred From
 Pueblo to Denver.
VICE PRESIDENT WELBORN ON STAND
Shortage to Commissioner Clarke -Companny two Months Behind on ordrrs--knew of no Discrlsn- fnntton by the Railroads.


 Denver, Col. Dec. 5.--Interstate Comemrce Commissioner E. E. Clarke took evidence in Denver Tuesday in the investigation which he is conduct Ing under the Tillman Gillespie reso- lution to ascertain whether certain corporations of Colorado and Utah enjoy privileged rates from the rail- roads and whether there are inexis- tence in these two states combinations in restraint of trade based on system attic rate discrimination. High off cials of the Denver & Rio Grande rail- road, the Colorado Fuel & Iron com. pany and the American Smelling & Refining company have been sum- moned to give testimony at the hear ing in this city which will continue two days.
 J. F. Welborn, vice president of the Colorado Fuel & Iron company, was called upon to name the mines owned and operated by that company and was then examined in regard to the connection of the fuel company with the Colorado & Wyoming railroad. He denied community of interests be- tween the two companies, but on be- ing questioned acknowledged that over 95 per cent of the freight on the railroad was handled for the Colorado Fuel & Iron company. The witness said there had been a shortage of cars for some time and said nearly all the mines had been closed at diff ferent periods owing to the shortage. He said there had been general ur- gent demand for coal this winter and that on many orders the company were two months or more behind.
 Asked about the alleged discrimina- tion of railroads in regard to cars the witness said he knew of no discrim- ination either in favor or against the company.
 Mir. Wellborn said that the rail- roads made no discriminatory rates in favor of the company in it's Inter- state business, and the only state discriminatory rates were those which were brought out in the examination at Pueblo Monday. In answer to 2 question by counsel he said that the Colorado Fuel & Iron company did nothing for the Denver & Rio Grande railroad in return for the low rate. He said that it was necessary for the Colorado Fuel & Iron company to have the low rate in order to do busi- ness in Pueblo at a profit He did not know that the fact that other manufacturers could not get the same low rates was the reason that Pueblo had not become great manufactur- ing city.

M. E. CHURCH. SOUTH coNpEREN, B
Appointments Made in This District
 Henderson Returned to Mena.

HeuuetSOu keturue0 tO MeHd.
 Warren, Dec. 3. Little Rock conference adjourned this morn- ing to meet next year at Malvern.
 The principal interest in to- days proceedings centered in the announcement of the appoint ments by Bishop Atkins, one of the most notable features of which was that every presiding elder in the district was changed, an unprecedented action on the part of the presiding bishop. It was his evident purpose to clear the conference of all warning ele- ments, scattering them as much as possible. For this reason, Rev. James Thomas was trans ferrcd to the North Mississippi conference, Rev. J. 8. Hawkins was located for unacceptability, and Rev. E. M. Pipkin and Rev. J. H. Dye were transferred to the White River conference.
 The conference refused to re- open the Thomas case, and this course means the triumph of the popular minister over his enemies. There are rumors, however, that the incident is not closed with this action of the church author itics, and that Mir. Hawkins ma y seek some means whereby 1t may be opened in the civil courts, in orderthat he may be given the much sought for opportunity to vindicate himself. Just what this will be, or when it will de- velop, if at all, is not known. It is understood that Rev. James Thomas, who has been so sig nally vindicated, will request the North Mississippi conference to allow him location, and that he will locate in Arkansas, possible in Little Rock, to con- tinue his work as Financial agent of Hendrix and Galloway colleges in which capacity he has already done such excellent service.
 Bishop Atkins announced the following appointments:
 Texarkana District-Presiding elder, T. Owens; Texarkana, First Church, Frank Barrett; Fairview, s. c. Dean, College Hill, l.. w. Evans; Horatio, A. D. Jenkins; Wilton, w. w. Mills; De Queen, w. P.
