New Wisconsin Rate in Effect on
Lines Within the State.
Without any curtailment of existing
service, the principal railroads Of Wis
consin have put into effect the new pas
senger rates ordered by the State railroad
commission. The roads have not only
complied with the commissions order re-
ducing the maximum rate from 3 to %
cents per mile, but also have followed its
recommendation regarding the sale Of 900
mile family mileage books for $40. The
new rates apply only to points within the
State. Those to Chicago and other out
side points remain the same as they have
been. 1t is estimated that the reduction
in rates will save the residents of the
State about $1,OO0,000 a year. The
roads that were ordered by the State com
mission TO reduce their rates are the Chi
cago and Northwest ern, Chicago, Milwau-
kee and st. Paul, a2d the Chicago, st.
Paul, Minneapolis an0 Omaha. The Wis
consin Central voluntarily followed suit,
fearing that competition would force it
to do so anyhow.

This announcement was made today by Acting Secretary Adee of the State Department. The exact time of sending the notes was not made known but 1t is possible that re- plies from some of the countries al- ready have reached Washington and it is believed that all will be here within twenty-four hours.
 MT. Adee late today received Minis ter Godoy, Charge of Affairs of the Mexican Embassy and they conferred at length concerning the steps being taken to end the incessant warfare be- tween the republics. Neither would admit that the Central American repub- lies had been invited to hold the con- terence at Washington, but Senor Co., req, the Nicaraguan minister, is au- thority for the statement that such an invitation soon will be extended. In fact he telegraphed President Zelaya to that effect.
 In diplomatic circles here 1t is said that none of the Central American re- publics can afford to decline to accept the proffers of mediation made by the United States and Mexico and that this means that permanent peace practical ly is assured.

HINES WAS KILLED N MANLACAL FIGHT
 WI7HASYLLMNURSE

In the Tuscaloosa sittings of the commission but little direct evidence has been brought to bear upon the murder charges. Of all the patients and discharged nurses examined, but little tangible. court proof evidence has been secured on the alleged murder charges. As a rule, the patient says:
 T heard that so and so had been killed in the cross hall," or Tt was talk among the patients that so and so had been killed in the cross hail." or "A nurse told me they had killed 50 and so.''
 The commission has been persistent ly following some clue that might throw light on the charges that sev- eral murders had beenl done in the asylum. The search has not been as successful as 1t might. Only in the last two or three days has the com mission secured what might be consid- cred direct evidence.
 The commission has set itself to find the truth in the assertion from ex- patients that the following patients were killed in the hospital, Young Hines of Lauderdale, Rev. MT. Paulk, a Methodist preacher from the same county; Richard Johnson, of Chambers county. and Walter Messenger, of Dal- las county, who was at one time 8 CohIuGlOI bSLWSeu MOul6OMcfy anu Selma.
 The death of Hines and the conse- quent charge that he was murdered have attracted the most attention. The young mans father is sheriff of Lau- derdale county. The father recently published in Florence paper the charge that his son was murdered and this charge he published under the head of "A Plea for Justice"
 It has never been denied that the young man died violent death. Hines was violent patient and the nurses had frequent struggles with him.
 When he died suddenly or was killed the hospital authorities immediately asked for an investigation by the of- ficers of the law This was a year ago and long before there had been any talk of Legislative charges or investi- gation.
 A Coroner'm Verdict
 A coroner's jury was empanelled and an investigation was made into the cir cumstanees of the young mans death It was found that he had died from the effects of lesion of the intestines caused by an injury to the stomach.
