JUDGE WANTS To SEE
EFFECT OF Z CENT LAW
Low Rate to Be Tested in
Missouri Before De-
cision Is Made

KANSAS CITY, June 17.-Judge
Smith Mcpherson of Red Oak. Iowa, in
the United States district court in this
city, handed down an opinion today on
the conflict between the circuit courts
at Kansas City and st. Louis and the
federal courts here over the enforce
ment of the Missouri cent passenger
and freight rate law.
Judge Mcpherson said that his view
was that the cent law should be put
in force until 1t could be ascertained
by actual experience whether cents
would be remunerative. He entered an
of facts entered into between the at
torneys for the state and the railways,
as follows:
THAT the railways application for a
temporary injunction as to the mini
mum laws of 1907 is sustained, and
until further order of court thereiR the
state officials are enjoined from at
tempting to recover any penalty or
seeking to enforce that law as to the
2 cent rate act; that the order hereto
fore entered by the court enjoining the
railways from obeying that law shall
remain In effect until June 10 next at 6
a. m, at which time rates fixed by said
act shall be put and kept in force for
three months, without prejudice to the
rights OF either party, for the purpose
of ascetraining more definitely the ex-
tent that experience will show that the
rates under said act reduce or increase
the earnings Of complainants."

NAVY To SHIP COAL
IN FOREIGN BOT TOMS

WASHINGTON, June 17.-Despite its
disinclination to do so, the navy de-
partment has been obliged to enter
into contract with a New York
brokerage firm for the shipment of
American coal from the Atlantic to the
Pacific coast in foreign bottoms. The
amount of the shipments will aggre-
crate between 1s,os3 and 10000 tons
each for the navy Iaro at Mare Island
and the naval sta.t<o at Bremerton,
Washington.
The department was unable to make
contracts for the transfer of the coal
in American bottoms because of a lack
of such ships, and, taking advantage
of section of the revised statutes,
which 1t is claimed confers such
authority, the secretary of the navy
has entered into a contract for foreign
ships.
The matter when first suggested
brought out vigorous protest from the
merchant marine league Of the United
States. but the department felt thac 1t
was justified in making the arrange
ments it has. BY providing that Amer
lean coal shall be furnished the off,
cials say that they are encouraging at
least one American industry.

BLACK SEA MUT|NEERs
TORPEDO W|REN's BOAT
Cutter Occupied by Admiral
Has to Be Beached to
Save Him

SEBASTOPOL, June 17.-Rear Ad-
miral Wiren, in command Of the Black
sea fleet, was cruising in steam cut
ter yesterday while a torpedo boat in
command of Lieutenant Ruzhek was
practicing firing Whiteheads in the in
ner bay. When the admirars cutter
was at short range the torpedo boat
suddenly changed her position and fred
a blank Whitehead directly at the cut
ter, penetrating the latter's water tank.
The prompitude of the crew in beaching
the cutter saved the admiral.
Lieutenant Ruzhek contended that
the Whitehead was fred accidentally,
but he and three junior attendants,
who were sullen and refused to salute
the admiral, were degraded and later
arrested on the charge of attempting
to sink the cutter.
ODESSA, June LIT now appears
that the mutiny here of the Black sea
feet, consisting Of eight battleships,
cruisers and division of torpedo boats,
whose crews in all number 5000 men.
was only discovered just In time to pre-
vent the planned bombardment of
Odessa and the Caucasian coast towns.
The fleet came here June IL for prac-
tice and had just entered Odessa bay
when Admiral Tseftsinsky, seeing that
the orders were not promptly obeyed
and knowing OF the mutinous views
animating the crews, suddenly issued
an order to disnantle the guns and
head back to Sebastopol where, after
troops had been sent on board the
warships. several hundred sailors were
disembarked and imprisoned.
Since the dissolution of the duma
the police have arrested more than 900
persons, including three professors, the
leaders of the different radical parties
and several families, including a num-
ber of children. Although there are no
strikes, disorders are increasing. Bombs
have been thrown and persons assassin
ated in numbers.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 1.-THE
chances of proclamation of general
strike in answer to the governments
coup d'etat are steadily lessening. The
question is now under discussion at
secret conference of the central
committee of the social democrats
which is being held in Finland, but a
strong current of opposition Is known
to prevail, not only on the part of the
moderate leaders, but also among the
adherents of the radical members. A
fraction of the moderates urge that
the government is now so strongly en-
trenched that a strike would be futile
and only weaken the prestige of the
party and involve the rank and file and
the industrial proletariat In a series of
reprisals and immense pecuniary loss.

PURSUE SPEED F|ENDs
Constable Allen Applies for
Appropriation by
the City

OAKLAND, June 17.-Constable W. c.
Allen has applied to the board OF super
visors for a motorcycle with which to
pursue chauffeurs who violate the
speed limit law with their automobiles
on the San Leandro road and Foothill
boulevard. Allen and Constable Thorn
as Carroll OF Brooklyn township have
opened a campaign on speed burners"
which has gone so far as to bring into
service shotguns with which to halt
the speeders.
Allen said that he could bring down
many a fleeing autoist IL he were pro-
vided with a motorcycle. The super
visors announced that the appropria-
tion would be made IL the district at
torney should approve II as legal.
Carroll captured 25 chauffeurs yes
terday on the roads and compelled them
to give 80 bail each for running too
fast. He and Allen have established an
outpost line along the main roads by
which telephone communication with
deputies Is maintained. II the whizzer
manages to elude them at any Joint
word Is sent along the line and the
chauffeur is eventually landed
In cases where the chauffeur makes
an attempt to escape, the shotgun is
brought into play and a tire shot full
of holes stops the machine.
The officers said that they had no de-
sire to interfere with the legitimate
use of the automobiles, but they were
determined to stop at all hazards the
dangerous practice of high speeding.
The law as to lighting. display of num-
bers and so on Is also being strictly en-
forced.
