Much incendiary literature was found.
The authorities have made every effort
to prevent the publication and circula-
tion of manifestoes of the ex- deputies
Of social revolutionists and group of
toll parties, but with little success.
One proclamation was recently printed
surreptitiously on the presses of the
Official Messenger.

TO MAKE TEST Case
JOINT RATE CASE TO GO TO SU.
PREME COURT.
Admitted that Case to Determine
Power Of State Commissioners
to Regulate Rates VIII Go to
United States Supreme Court
a. Soon a. Possible.

Olympia, June 24.-The railroad
commission joint rate hearing was adj
journed at noon Saturday until Thurs
day of this week at the request Of the
state. The attorney general desired
the delay to prepare his reply to the
answers Of the respective railroads.
Attorney Zera Snow for the O. R. &
N. and Assistant Attorney General
Falknor Saturday afternoon in inter-
views said that it is the purpose of
both sides to make this a complete
test case Of the matter Of rate regula-
tion by state commission and that
the whole question will be carried as
quickly as possible to the supreme
court of the United States. While the
railroads are offering objections to the
hearing and saving exceptions to GER
tain items Of the testimony, it is ap-
parent that both the railroads and the
commission propose before the hearing
is completed to 60 thoroughly into the
merits. Indications are that the pro-
cedure will take about this course:
The commission, through the attor-
ney general, will put into evidence tes-
timony in support of the contention
for joint rates; against this the rail
ways will submit their evidence. When
the evidence is all in it is assured the
commission will enter the joint rate
order. Then probably the railways
will apply to Judge Hanford Of the
federal court for an injunction to pre-
vent the enforcement of the order and
from his rulings the case will 60 on
up to the highest court in the land.
One of the big fights. from a legal
standpoint is over that part Of tn, new
commission law. which provides that
the only testimony the courts may
hear on appeal from orders Of the COM
mission is that taken before the COM
mission. This was put into the law
deliberately so that the railways would
be forced to meet the issues of fact at
the first hearing. This, the railways
contend, denies them the right of q
free trial before a jury and in effect
amounts to q taking Of property with
Out uu0 pEOC06S VI law IL 10 AOdAAy
the crucial point in the whole hear
ing.
The witnesses heard Saturday were
John T. Heuter, Spokane stone deal
or, who pays the o. R. & N. ~ cents
hundred for hauling stone six miles,
while that road hauls brick II miles
for Q cents; J. E. Trimble, produce
dealer of Garfield, who testified as to
the excessive freight rates he was
forced to meet by paying the sum Of
two locals in shipping potatoes from
o. R. & N. points in the Palouse coun-
try to the Sound, and State Track In
spector Perley, who testified as to the
necessity and expense of making the
proposed track connections between
the several railways at different points
in the Palouse country.

WIVES WHO ARE ATHLETIC.

Attributes that Enhance Their In
Auence with Their Husbands.
American women have always had
the reputation of excelling in devotion
as mothers, while English women have
been considered the more devoted
wives, says the North American Re
view. 1t may be owing to the better
conditions Of organized and trained do
nestle service in England, and to the
possibility of leaving children safely in
the keeping Of nurses and governesses,
that English women have thrown them
selves so much more unreservedly into
the interests, business and amusements
of their husbands In England, the
husband and wife usually take their
holiday trips together; In America, the
mother and children make their holt
days together, and the father, when he
takes one, usually takes it alone or
with other men.
The recent development Of athletics
for women in this country Is trans
forming women's lives in many ways,
and in nothing more benefcially than
In making them more capable Of being
companions for their husbands They
are gaining in strength, in hardihood,
In cheerfulness and breadth of interest
by their concern for sport A wife
who can ride to hounds, tramp across
country, golf, play tennis and sail a
boat combines the attractions of COM
rade, friend and wife, and triples her
power. To add to q capacity for out
door life an intelligent interest in poll
tics and municipal government, habit
Of culling the world politics from the
daily newspapers, and well-bred alb

versation would doubtless make the

Mobile February .-(Special) THE
day dawned bright and clear and as the
hours wore on the sun shone out brgiht-
ly and warmly from a eloudless sky, and
even before the breakfast hour was over
the streets began to fill with people.
The city is full of visitors for the car
nival, who are enjoying the fine weather
and the preliminary entertainment pro-
vided for them against the coming of the
day of JOY on the morrow.
King Felix arrived at . o'clock this
afternoon ON his royal Yacht Winona,
and was received at the foot of Govern
ment street with a salute of forty guns

Movement Spreads.

st. Petersburg, February IA dis
patch received here from Teheran says
that the revolutionary movement is
spreading at Teheran, Shirasen, Ia
briz and Resht, where local leagues,
known as Medjem, have been formed.
The leagues do not acknowledge the
authority of parliament or the shah. At
Teheran the governor is said to be power
less. while the Governor Marandi, of Ia
briz, has been arrested and bastinadoed
by order OF Medjem, who is supported
by armed bands that have been crossing
the frontier from the Caucasus. Counter
leagues, called Fedan, are being organlz-
ed, the dispatch adds, to defend parla-
ment, which, though not in sympathy
with the revolutionary movement, is
classed as lacking in backbone.
1t is said that the pressure of the street
crowds which fill the parliament build
ing at Teheran interrupt the sessions and
that they have assaulted the unpopular
Kadjor princes, particularly Princes Naib
Ee Sultanes, the war minister and father
in-law of the sultan. The only minister
exempt from attack is Sadrazan, whose
two sons are radical leaders.
Many meetings are being held in the
Mosques fiery speeches are being deliv-
cred and proclamations are being issued
denouncing the ministers. 1t is asserted
that the weakness on the part of par1a-
ment is driving many prominent persons
into the ranks Of the conservatives.

Conference Held.

Washington. February 1.-THE state
ment was made at the state department
today that a conference held today be-
tween Assistant Secretary Bacon and the

in better condition now than ever before,
and that her citizens are thinking only

ment.
