EDUCATION BILL REvIVIFlED
Indications That British Lords and
Commons VIII Reach an
Agreement.

LONDON, Dec. 17.-When the educational
bill amended by the House Of Lords, sent
back to the House of Commons and re-
turned by that body to the upper branch,
reached the lords today, the earl of Crewe,
lord president of the council, announced
that the government was not prepared TO
sacrifice the main principles of the bill,
but that with certain notifications the
most importent points might be agreed
upon in order to enable the bill to become
a law. Lord Crewe added that concessions
OF a substantial character would be made.
In view Of this announcement the House
OF Lords consented to an adjournment Of
the debate in order to enable the leaders
to reach an agreement.
The crisis arising from the educational
bill has taken a new turn as a result of
today's proceedings in the House of Lords
and it is becoming clear that a historic
conflict between the two houses is not
likely to occur over the question of educa-
ton. The fact is that both houses are
equally desrous of avoiding conflict and
Immediately after Lord Crewes announce
ment IT was forseen in all probability the
bill would be saved.

attorney, said: I'VE shall claim that COM
ment on a court trial published after a
trial closes cannot be in contempt"
The article in question was signed bat
Masterson." It appeared on December 9
and called the trial a travesty on justice,
intmating that the jury was intimldated
into bringing in a verdict of murder in the
first degree
The defendants made no answer to the
order In court today, but Mr.. Shearn made
motion to have the proceedings dis
missed on the grounds Of insufficiency of
the papers. The motion was denied. Mr..
I Shearn told the court that the defense
would be that the article referred to was
not a report of the trial, but merely com
ment on the trial after the trial was closed.
He argued that the statutes did not mean
that a paper could not criticize a court
proceeding after II was closed. Mr..
Shearn filed demurrers and the case was

TWO GIRLS DIE OF POISON
Chicago Coroner Examines Bodies
of Members of Veal Family
Who Die Suddenly.

CHICAGO, Dec. 17.-Poison was respon-
sible for the death of at least two of the
Vzral family in this city, six of whom died
within a few months of each other in the
year. Herman Billik, a fortune teller, is
now in jail on a charge of having admin
istered poison TO the family so the mother
of the dead could collect the insurance
money. Mrs. Vzral was found dead in her
home two weeks ago, a few hours after
an investigation into the cause of the
death of the other members of the family
was begun. At first 1t was believed she
committed suicide, but the police are OF
the opinion that the same agency that
caused the death of the children caused
her death.
Positive evidence of the presence OF
poison in the internal organs Of ella and
Mary, two of the daughters of Mrs. Vzral,
whose bodies were exhumed last week, was
discovered today by Prof. Walter NJ.
Haines Of the Rush Medical college and
DR.. Lewke OF the coroner's staff Arsenic
was found IN the liver and stomach Of
both victims In sufficient quantities TO
cause death.
After hearing from the physicians tonight
Coroner Hoffman said the bodies OF the
other members Of the family would be ex-
humed and an examination made for traces
of poison.

MISSISSIPPI WINS LAWSUIT
state Railway Commission Has Right
to Enforce square Deal ON
Shipments,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17-In the case Of
the Alabama & Mississippi Railroad Com
pany against the Mississippi Railroad Com
mission, the supreme court rendered a de-
cision today in support Of the contentious
OF the state. The case involved the right
of the commission 70 fix a fiat rate OF 3is
cents per mile per 100 pounds on carload
lots of grain from Vicksburg to Meridian.
both in Mississippi The water rate to
Vicksburg figured in the case, but the
action Of the commission in making the
rate was based upon the allegation that
the Vicksburg railroad was in the habit
of giving that figure to patrons who also
gave their business to the Shreveport &
Pacific road an allied concern, while the
rate to other patrons was 10 cents per
100 pounds. The Mississippi supreme court
sustained the action of the commissioners
and that finding is upheld The opinion
was handed down by Justice Brewer, who
said:
I'VE are not constituting an act Of the
state OF Mississippi or passing upon the
powers which by II are given to the
state railroad commission. The question
we have to consider is the power of the
state to enforce an equality of local rates
as between all parties shipping the same
distance over the same road. That a state
has such power cannot be doubted, and II
cannot be thwarted by any action of a
railroad company which does not involve
an actual interstate shipment, although
done with a view of promoting the busi-
ness interests Of the company. While a
state may not compel a railroad company
to do business at a loss, and while a rail-
! road company may insist as against the
power of the state, upon the right to es-
3 Nok1 tsI
able compensation for the services rem
dered, yet when II voluntarily establishes
local rates for some shippers it cannot re,
sist the power of the state to enforce the
same rates for all. The state may insist
upon equality as between all its citizens
and that equality cannot be defeated in re-
spect to any local shipments by arrange
ments made with or TO favor outside com
panies."
