State Capital Notes
The 2-Cent Rate Is Doomed.

Amazing in its injunctions and sweeping in it's scope is the order Of Judge Vandevanter, sitting in the United States Circuit Court at St. Paul, Minn., which was brought to Lit- tie Rock Saturday by attorneys inter ested in the litigation between the State Railroad Commission and the trunk lines of Arkansas which in wolves both the freight and passenger tariff in Arkansas.
 It not only enjoins the State Rail road Commission from enforcing the 2-cent passenger rate, but it absolute ly prohibits the railroads from con tinuing in effect the reduced rate as prescribed by state legislative act.
 Anent this feature of the case the order says:
 The enforcement of the 2-cent per mile rate is hereby restrain ed until further order of the court"
 In the next paragraph the order says:
 The defendant it's officers, agents and servants be and they are hereby restrained and en5oined from continuing in effect the aforesaid in- hibited rates for the carriage oI freight and passengers in the state of Arkansas as aforesaid, except at suen points and upon such commodities as said defendant and it's officers shall find it necessary to observe said schedule of rates in order to meet competition.
 The order further declares that the intrastate freight rates as adopted by the State Railroad Commission are road companies from retaining them in effect.
 In other words, it permits the rai- roads to maintain the State Railroad Commissions rates where it is neces- sary to meet competition, and gives them the right in increase the rates where there is no competition.
 Not only this, but the order prohib- it's the State Railroad Commission, any firm or individual from bringing suit against the companies for fail ure to observe the rates named by the commission and further prohibits the recovery of damages against the raii- roads.
 The order states that it's provisions must go into effect within 10 days af- ter the filing thereof The railroad companies, however, must file bond in the sum of $20OOOO, conditioned that they shall keep a correct account showing the difference between the tariff actually charged and that which would have been charged had the rates inhibited been applied

 At a meeting of the board of trade held there Monday. committees were appointed to go before the executive committe of the state organization and make a proposition for the re moval there, and it is quite likely that an interesting fight will be waged over the location. as several other towns are making bids for the head quarters. Paragould, Little Rock, Conway and Camden are said to be trying for the place.
 At the meeting held Monday Joe P Eagle, J. NJ Gates. R. E, Bradford Alph Hamberg, w p Fletcher and Dave Gates were appointed as com mittee to attend the meeting of the executive committee Of the State Farmers Union, which meets at Con way, and 10 make them a proposition for the location of their headquarters at Lonoke Another committee, con slsting of Joe P Eagle, J.

Robs Mail Pouch.

Hidden between the slats of mat tress in room No 24 at the Brinkley hotel. at Brinkley. a leather mail pouch, slit with knife, was fouhd at o'clock Tuesday morning by chambermaid It had been rlned' many of the letters opened and then replaced and the only loss so far dis covered is a note for Sl,OOO Whlcn was contained in a registered letter sent bv the Bank of Commerce in Llt- tie Rock to the Monroe County Bank at Brinkley for collection.

Self Defense to be Parsers Plea,


 Developments were few Sunday Tn the aftermath of Saturdays tragedy in Little Rock, when Leon S Ehren- berg of 1906 Cumberland street was slain by Charles R. Parsel of 240O West Fourteenth street.
 That the prosecution of Parsel would be waged not only by Prose cutting Attorney Roy D. Campbell but with the assistance of some of the best legal talent available. became known during the day.
 It was intimated that Lewis Rho ton, former prosecuting attorney, and George W. Murphy. former state at torney general, would be retained by the family and friends of Ehrenberg to help prosecute Parsel.
 II was stated by W. Burt Brooks. counsel for Parsel. that the prelimi- nary hearing before Justice Martin would not take place Monday. The hearing was postponed for two req sons. Monday was the date for the Labor Day celebration and also for 'hc iIHtI al Ol EHFeHDeFS.
 Therefore the preliminary will not take place before Tuesday or We'd nesday
 Self-defense will be the plea of Par sel.
 Newspaper men were barred from seeing Parsel and his attorney re- mained ensconced behind the granite walls of silence.
 The former business relations of the two men when they were in partner ship on Main street are to be probed at the trial It is said that the cause of the trouble which led to the killing is contained in alleged business disa- greements.
 Rumors were current on the street Sunday that Parsel was of the opin- ion that he was not getting square deal in the proposed reorganization of the Arkansas Pump and Pipe Com pany, and that this phase of the mat ter. combined with unsettled affairs of the former partnership, resulted in the fatal affray.
 H. Ehrenberg. father of Leon s. Eh- renberg, has as yet given out no state- ment In fact, members of the family have not recovered from the shock and were in no condition Sunday to talk upon the subject
 Mrs. Ehrenberg Is still prostrated over the tragedy and only near rela- tiyes are permitted to see her.
