WILL CANVASS THE VOTES
Mississippi Democratic State Execu
tive Committee Meets at
Noon Today.

jackson, Miss, Aug. THE Democratic
state executive committee meets here to-
morrow at noon for the purpose of can
vassing the returns and declaring the re-
suit Of the recent primary held in this
state for United States senator and state
officers. So close is the race in the SEN
atoriai contest that interest is at fever
heat
For the past day or so there have been
all sorts of rufnors of DESTROYED ballots
and lost ballot boxes, but when traced
down these reports have been found to
be without foundation. 1t was said that
a lot Of ballot boxes in Copiaha county
that gave Governor James X. Vardaman
a majority of 251 votes over Congressman
John Sharp Williams in the senatorial
contest had been burned, but the secre-
tary of the county executive committee
tonight certified that this was not so and
that every precinct had been recOunted
and that every ballot was safe in the
hands of the proper officials. The meet
ing tomorrow promises to be sensational.
there being some predictions that trouble
would arise in the event that any COM
promise measures were resorted to. Both
candidates are claiming that a canvass
of the vote will show their election, Var
daman by a bare majority, while Will
liams' friends claim it by at least 1000.

ORDERED TO REDUCE RATE
Commerce Commission Decides That
the Burlington Charges Too
Much on Grain.

Washington Aug An order was
made by the interstate commerce COM
mission in a decision handed down by
Commissioner Harlan today directing
that beginning Sept i next. the
through rate on wheat from points in
Nebraska to Pacific coast terminals
should be not more than 30 per 100
pounds. The rate now in force on the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad
is 75 cents per 100 pounds The COM
mission holds that any rate over the
route in question in excess of 65 cents
per 100 pounds is unreasonable.
The order is made in the case of the
a. X. Poor Grain company against the
Burlington railway and others. The
complainant cOntended that not only
the rate be reduced, but that il be
given TeparatiOn on shipments made
from Nebraska points to Pacific coast
terminals at the higher rate. The deci-
sion grants the reparatiOn demanded.

the feshlngs as being suggestive of

to 10000 from the outside witnessed Lady
Godiva as she traversed the six miles.
T. Lady Gcdiva, who flOurished about the
middle of the eleventh century was the
wife of Leofrio, Earl of Chester. She was
a woman of great beauty and piety and
the benefactress of many churches and
monasterles. According to the legend.
Lady GOdiva begged her husband to re-
lieve Coventry of burdensome tax and
he consented to do so upon the condi-
ton that she should ride naked through
the market place. This she did, covered
only by her long hair, and thus won re-
lief for the peOple. According to some
versions of the story, the people were
commanded to keep within their houses
while Lady GOdiva passed, and only one
man, "Peeping Tom" disobeyed. and he
was miraculously stricken blind.
