State and Federal Courts Clash
Over Freight I { and a /! Passenger Rates
Railroads Appeal TO Federal Courts to Prevent Themselves
From Obeyng Missouri Maximum Freight and Two

Kansas City, June i IA conflict
between the state and federal courts
that arose here today over the en-
tforcement of the Missouri maximum
freight and two-cent fare acts. which
went into effect at midnight last
night, caused great confusion and
the end is not yet in sight.
While Judge Smith Mcpherson was
in the United States district court
awaiting the arrival Of attorneys for
the principal railroads Of Missouri,
who had brought a joint suit asking
him to enjoin the enforcement OF
these new laws, the attorneys were
holding a conference over the new
turn in affairs. 5f3s
During the morning the state cir
cult court, both in Kansas City and

General Hadley, issued injunctions
against the railroads. compelling
them to obey the laws. ss
Suits were fled in Kansas City
by John q. Kennish, assistant at

said, he did, as great harm might

Much confusion resulted during the
day amongst railway agents as to
what rates they should charge and
among railway counsel as to which

which should be respected. The

BIG MIX.UP

Washington, June 14.-A sanguinary
war, perhaps two wars or more, with
as many revolutions added for good
measure, is what the state department
officials now expect to mark the sum
mer of 1907, in Central America.
They are much cast down over the
sudden and unexpected failure of the
joint efforts of the governments of
Mexico and United States to bring
about a condition of permanent peace
between the turbulent republics in
Central America.
Official news Of this failure reached
the state department today from one
of its Representatives in Nicaragua
who forwarded the explanation Of
president OF that country OF his parti-
patton in the attack on Acajutla.
y The exasperating feature Of Presi-
dent zeiaya.s message, according to
the state department, was the way in
which he sought to place upon Ameri-
CO and Mexico the responsibility for
an attack upon friendly state by
claiming that 1t was necessary step
