 to Penalties of New Laws. s. P. Kennedy, of Anniston, Elected Secretary fin Lieu of Virgil Grif- fin, Resigned--was Formerly
 RaiIroader.

The Alabama Railroad Commission at its adjourned meeting yesterday ruled that the maximum rate bill is already effective and that any charge made by common carriers, excessive Of the rates prevailing on January l, not only contravenes the law but renders the offending carrier liable to claim for the excess. The matter, which was the principal business considered by the Commission, was presented to the Commission by Mr. Nesbitt, who read several complaints that the railroad companies had raised their rates since January l.
 s. P. Kennedy. of Anniston, just be- fore the Commission adjourned, was elected it's secretary, vice Virgil Grif- fin resigned.
 The presentation of complaints by MT Nesbitt had been anticipated with interest because they had been, in some degree, forecasted in a statement by Mir. Nesbitt to representatives of the press several days ago. The com plaints he read to the Commission yes- terday were made by shippers who al- lege that the freight tariffs upon some commodities are higher now than the tariffs upon the same material on January l.
 An increase from fifty cents to $1,80 in the tarfff on one ton of sand, from Prattvilie Junction and adjacent points, was specified as one of the of- lenses Another accusation was that the rates on scrap iron from Birm- ingham to Alabama City had been in- creased from sixty cents to $2. and from Montgomery to Birmingham, on the same material. from seventy-five cents to $2. The tariff on brick from Ensley to Birmingham. 1t is alleged has been increased from one and one- quarter cents to three cents a hun dred. The Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company, 1t was alleged In some of the complaints, had so far been the only offending carrier.
 MT. Nesbitt deprecated the idea that the common carriers had willfully vio- lated the recent act, but urged that if they had done so they should have the attention of the Railroad Commits sion. President Charles Henderson and Major John c. Harris, the other mem- bers of the Commission, agreed with their associate. and they adopted a resolution that the commission regard ed the collection of any rate excessive of the corresponding rate existent on

PRETTY DRESSES
YOUNG SAN PEDRO GIRL ACCUSES
MARRIED MAN
District Attorneys office Issues COM
plant Against Draughtsman
Accused of Abducting Ena
Thanem, Aged IL

Sherman Voorhees,. draughtsman and
office man for the San Pedro Lumber COM
pany, appeared in Justice Selph's court
yesterday to answer charge of having
abducted 14-year-old Ena Thanem, who
has been missing from her home for the
past two weeks and who was found yes
terday living at Hollywood, where her
bills are alleged to have been paid by the
accused man. He pleaded not guilty and
was put under $1,000 bail. This he was
unable to furnish and was remanded to
the custody of the sheriff.
Late Tuesday, fearing that the friends
and relatives of the girl would lynch him,
VOORHEES, gave himself up to the county
authorities.
His defense is that he has been married
nine years to his wife and that his mar
ried life has been happy. He says that
for the past two weeks he has been on a
vacation and his absence and the absence
of the girl at the same time was merely a
coincidence.
The prosecution alleges that Voorhees,
was an intimate friend of the Thanem
family and that visits were frequently ex-
changed. Ena, it is said, was at Voor
hees' home almost constantly. But this
feature of the case is explained by the
defendant, who claims that his wife and
the girl were best of friends. The latter.
however, when she was discovered yes
terday told Deputy District Attorney
Blair that she had been induced by Voor
hees to leave her home and that he fur
nished her with a good living and pretty
dresses.

'Tve got a heart, judge, and love my
wife" said William Leggett yesterday
afternoon before leaving Judge Frederick

charge of battery. Leggett is charged

excuse warranted his action and declared
him guilty. He was released under $40
bail to appear today for sentence. Leg
gett is drayman.
About two hours after he had left
court Leggett was taken into the police
station in a half stupor by Policeman
Grant Mozart and sent to the hospital.
He was found unconscious at Second and
Broadway. When he recovered sufficient
ly to talk he said he was taken suddenly
Ill with a pain in his side and did not
know what was the matter with him.
He claimed that he had not been home

SIX YEAR OLD GIRL
SAVES BABY SISTER
LITTLE ONE FALLS INTO EIGHT
FEET OF WATER
Child erasps Golden curIs as Little
One Rises Above Surface and
Draws Her to Boat
Landing

Special to The Herald.
PLAYA DEL REY. Aug. 2S.-The rare
presence of mind of 6-year-old Zelma
Pierce saved the life of her 3-year-old
baby sister Zada, this afternoon.
The two little girls are the daughters
of C. M. Pierce, the Balloon route man.
They were playing doll house on the
float on the lagoon at the foot of the
boat landing.
Romping about too near the edge, little
Zada fell into eight feet of water.
As she fell the baby uttered cry.
Her sister saw her predicament and
promptly dropped fiat on the platform
with her arm stretched over the water.
AS Zada's head rose above the surface
Zelma grasped the golden cprls and as
tenderly as possible drawing her little
sister to the edge of the float, Zelma
pulled her up until her arms rested on
the boards.
Then with strong, vigorous tug she
brought her little sister safely to the
landing.
Beyond a thorough drenching and
fright the baby was none the worse for
her involuntary plunge.
Not a grown person was near when
the child fell into the water, and had
it not been for Zelma's presence of mind
the baby would have drowned.
