ROADS TO RESIST
RULINGS Of
COMMISSION
/. C, AND l.. g. NJ. SAY TT is SO RADi-
CAL THAT IT WILL BE TAKEN
TO COURT.
REDUCTION in REVENUE
Is Too Great-CIaim That Major Por-
ton of Decision Is Wholly Un-
constitutionaI--Prom
Long Fight.

Louisville, June 22.-No decision Will
be reached by the managers OF the va
rious railroads operating in Kentucky
upon what action will be taken upon
the ruling of the Kentucky railroad
commission until the early part OF
|next week.
The railroad attorneys who argued
he case have turned the report OF the
commission over to the traffic man
ayers of the roads, and force OF
clerks will be at once started TO work
| figuring out just how the decision VIII
mean to the roads, and how much the
revenue will be decreased by the fore
ed lowering OF rates.
! AS stated, however, the probabilities
are strong that the Louisville & Nash
willie road and the Illinois Central read
will resist the decision of the commits
sion by an appeal TO the courts. This
will be in the form of motion for
an injunction.
What course the Southern, Chesa
peake & Ohio roads will take is not 81
certain.
One prominent railroad man is now
quoted as saying: Il am in favor OF
what the railroad commission claim.
it has the power to do than because ot
what II has done | believe that 9
large part of The decision is unco1sti
tutional, and if we submit now our plea
would have less strength if We re
sist further orders along the same
/ line.
The repuction of vs. per cent III fsse
freight rates ordered against the 4
& N and Illincis Central will ma eri
ally reduce the revenues of these two
roads unless more business follows
The members of the Railroad commits
sion believe that both roads will in
the end greatly gain in business by the
order, and that the advantage to ship
pers of the state will be immense.

New York, June 30 Mrs. Flonelle
Axtell, who, as Miss Nesta Nelson,
was famous as an actress, and was a
member of Lawrence Barrett's com
pany, when that player died, was made
defendant today in a suit Instituted
BY her mother Mrs Anna ID. Presby
of Stamford, Conn. who charges that
Mrs. Axtell and her husband not only
abducted her from Wilton, near South
Norfolk, Conn. brought her to this
city and kept her drugged for three
months, but in order to obtain $4,000
worth of diamonds and $4,000 worth
Of property located in Johnsonburg

by causing bolod poisoning.
The case will be heard in Septem-
ber in the superior court OF Bridge,
port. Mrs. Axell and her husband,
James e. are asked to pay $4,000
damages.
In the papers II Is alleged that Mr..
and Mrs. Axtell caused Mrs. Presby
to become intoxicated in her home,
Broad and Bedford streets, Stamford,
and that while In such condition she
was brought to the Axtells' apart
ments in No. 300 West Flfty-fourth

The aged woman says that opiates
were administered and that she was
transferred to Wilton and kept pris

/ lsays that when her siaffs Ger btsAF hni
and stabbed her with fork the counln
refused TO obtain medical attendance
for her.
Through cruel treatment and the ad
minisration of drugs Mrs. Presby says
she was defrauded of the jewels and
property.
| Your correspondent in Wilton TO-
night talked with the Axtells. Mrs,
Axtell, who is called dope fiend' by
her mother, had returned from a drive
with ruddy cheeks and bright clear
eyes.

MY mother came to Wilton Of her
own voition. No door was ever lockel
upon her No dogs guarded her, and
no jewelry or property was taken
from her
1T is untrue that ever treated my
mother badly. My sister is taking ad.

CHARGE Of MURDER
AGAINST AGED
MOTHER
MRS. LOUISE STENTON ARREST
ED UPON CHARGE OF KILLING
DAUGHTER.
A BLOOD STAINED AXE
Hidden Under Pile OF Rubbish Con
aidered as Overwhelming Evidence
Police Expect to Wiring
Confession.

New Ofk, June 1G.~~IOlOHSi
Schwannecke announced today that
the aged mother of Mrs. LouiCe Alice
Knan who was killed on her porch a
week ago. is under arrest. She is
guarded by police matron and two
detectives and although her residence
is her prison she Is as much In durance
as if she were in the Tombs.
The finding of blood stained ak
hidden under pile of rubbish led to
the ac on by the coroner whereby the
old woman is a prisoner. In the opin-
ion of Coroner Schwanecke this is ov.
erwhelming evidence that the murder
of Mrs, Khan was committed by a
member Of the Stenton household.
The coroner and Detective Sergeant
Price hurried to the Miller residence
this evening and spent several hours
with the aged prisoner, endeavoring
TO get a confess ion from her. On the
belief that the ak was the property Of
the aged miser, they are confident that
she can not hold out much longer and
that startling confession will be
wrung from her in another day al
least
Household Was Desperate.
In proving the desperate character
of the household it is recalled that a
few day. ago in a secret chamber were
found bank books for nearly $4,000 TO
lgether with five trunks of valuable
articles, such as silverware. with de-
partment store tags still on them, in.
ldieating that shopliftlnG Mas, The trade
of the trunks owner.
Mrs. Stenton was once a woman OF
high cocial standing and comes from
one of the Old and aristocratic families
of New York. In former days she en-
tertained much and Commodore Van
derbilt was frequently her guest
The bloodstained ak which undoubt-
edly was welded by Mrs. Kinan's slay-
er, was hidden in such way as to
show that the debris covering it was
disturbed quite recently The handle
| is about three feet long and the heel
is square and, according to The cor
oner, would fit the inrentation in the
murdered woman's skull.
Blood on Blade of Ak.
Two bright red spots are on the
blade cf the weapon. On the handle
about an inch from the heel was a
ha'r several inches long. From the
handle of the ak near the head a splin-
ter of wood about two inches long was
found in the bloody matted hair over
the fractures in Mrs. Kinans skull.
The ak was Of the hammer-head pat
tern.
The coroner today, with several de-
Itectives. made a superficial eXamina-
tion of the cellar of the old mansion.
From the sligh, investigation made 1t
was concluded that the dirt bottom of
the cellar should be investigated. This
work will be started tomorrow.
Regarding the printed letter begin
ming My darling boy" and signed
I"Lo3iso." the coroner advanced the
theory that it had been used a. a part
Of cipher code which someone in the
old mansion used in corresponding
with mysterious visitors Mrs Sten-
ten explained The printing of the love
letter by saying that her handwriting
was so minute that she almo-t invari-
ably had her correspondence printed
as an aid to its being understood by
