month. Although the number Of prison
ers Is not large, the sentences of half
Of them are exceedingly long. One Of
the officials Of the institution stated
today that not IN years had the COM
mitments been as small as during
January. This is due probably To the

their sentences in their respective
county iails. Al the Rutland county

RAILROAD NEWS.
Kansas Railroads Are Badly
Tangled.
Passenger Agents Trying to
Straighten Affairs.
0VER TW0 CENT EARE
OVER TWO CENT FARE.
Matter Will Be Taken Up Next
Week by Officials.
Other Items Of Interest to
Railway People.

Chicago, July 1&-The Tribune saws,
The Santa Fe system, the Rock Island
\ lines and other Kansas railroads are
| facing a problem that calls for the wis
dom of a Solomon. Kansas wants a
cent mile passenger rate and the rail-
road commission of that state has adj
dressed letter to the legal departments
of the various railroads asking the mat
ter 10 be presented to the proper officer
for action.
When the western states were agitat-
ing the passage of cent passenger rate
| bills the railroads of Kansas agreed to
| issue a mileage book, good for use of
bearer, in. the state at a fat rate of 2
cents a mile if the legislature would not
| pass a rate law
The result has been that the railroads
have sold little else in Kansas than
mileage books for several weeks and
the conductors have had to have help in
the collection of tickets on trains.
So insistent has the clamor become
that both the railroad commission and
the railroads have been compelled to sit
up and take notice, and as there is like
ly to be a compiled ton the meeting of
the Western Passenger association, call
ed for today has been postponed until
July 81. and some of the passenger men
have taken fight to Kansas with the
object of making a personal investiga-
tion of the situation
The letter TO the commission reads in
part as follows:
LAS You are aware, the railroads op-
Grating in the states of Nebraska, Mis-
souri, and Arkansas have in effect a 2
cent passenger fare rate. The fact that
this law is in effect in neighboring states
and the fact that conditions in those
states from a passenger traffic stand
point are similar to those existing in
Kansas is creating a general demand for
the establishment of a cent maximum
passenger rate in this state. The pur-
pose of this letter is to urge upon your
company the Importance of a considera-
ton of the establishment of an emer-
gency cent maximum passenger rate
in Kansas. so that Kansas may be
placed upon an equal footing with the
surrounding territory in this regard, this
emergency maximum rate to become
permanent upon the establishment
of the cent maximum rates
in the states named by the
courts. This action on the part of your
company will avoid the possibility of an
order of the board esta btishing such rate
and the attendant litigation in the
courts
.-. Refuse to Discuss Situation.
The legal departments of the roads
having lines in Kansas refuse to dis
be first brought to the consideration of
the executives. The matter will not be
considered until early next week by the
executive of the Kansas railroads, as
many of them are out of town and not
due until Saturday, and will desire re-
ports of their passenger men who have
gone to Kansas to investigate.

Arkansas City Ice Man Makes a
Horrible Discovery.
Mrs. Audrey Moore and Miles r,
Miller Murdered.
NOTHING TO LIVE FOR
Spurned SuitOr Shoots Woman
Then Kills Himself.
The Murderer Was a Cripple
and Evidently Jealous.

Arkansas City, Kan, July 1S.-A muir
der and a suicide or a double suicide
was discovered late Wednesday when a
deliveryman in the employ of an lee
company entered the home of Mrs.
Audrey Moore with the daily delivery of
ice. Stretched out on a bed lay the
body of Mrs. Moore, with a frightful
Lying dead on his face on the floor at
the side of the bed was the body of Miles
R. Miller, grasping in the right hand a
32-calibre revolver, which had evidently
been the agent of destruction.
The murder and suicide must have ia
ken place several hours before the dis
covery of the bodies. So far as is known
Mrs. Gibson was the. only one who heard
the shots. No one happened to call at
the home of Mrs. Moore before the ice
man hence the delay in discovering the
tragedy.
1t was evident from the position of the
bodies that Miller placed the revolver
a Mrs. Moore's ear and pulled the trig-
ger and so close was the weapon held
that her face was powder burned He
then stood at the side of the bed, and
placing the muzzle of the revolver at
his own right ear, again pulled the trig-
ger.
There were about the room no signs OF
a struggle.
The bullet which killed the woman
passed nearly through her head. coming
out on the right side. Miller was
hunchback and one of his legs was sew
erai inches shorter than the other. He
wore an iron arrangement fastened on
his shoe which enabled him to walk. He
was about thirty-fiVe years of age and
up until six weeks ago had worked at
the packing house. being employed in
the box department
He quit the position and since has
been living on his savings.
Mrs Andrew Moore was the divorced
wife of William NJ. Moore. She was
about % years of age and was rather
good looking woman.1 1t is said that for
some time past Miller has been a fire.
ouent caller at the woman's home, often
visiting her in the day time, as well as
in the evening. The only theory adj
vanced for the murder and suicide is
that Miller wanted the woman to marry
him and she refused because he was a
cripple. rsr tf

Warrensburg; Mo-, July 1S.-The in
itial move was made here today by the
railroads to fight the enforcement of
the law passed by the last legislature,
making it a severe penalty for any
railroad to require operators who
handle train orders to work more than
eight hours each day. This Missouri
was sued in the Johnson county circuit
court on five separate counts for V1o-
latfng the eight hour law at Warrens-
burg, Holden, Kingsville and Knob
Noster, this county. The Missouri,
Kansas & Texas was sued on two
counts.
The cases were set for hearing to-
day. Colonel r. T. Bailey appeared
for the Missouri Pacific and Attorney
Aber for the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas, and each entered a plea of not
guilty. The court gave them time I'M
til October 6 to plead to the informa-
ton.
In speaking of the suits. Colonel
Bailey said: 1--WE are satisfied that
this law, as applied is unconstitu-
tional, and the railroads are perfectly
willing that its constitutionality be
thoroughly tested in the courts. I am
willing that these cases be taken up at
the September term of the Cass county
circuit court before Judge Bradley.
