FREIGHT CASE CONTINUED
Agree to Let 1t Go Over for a
Month

An agreement for a continuance for
one month of the Kansas freight rate
lawsuits now pending in the federal
courts was agreed upon by the attor-
neys for both sides. These cases were
set for April IA, and the plan is to
continue them until May IA.
Bale P. Waggener, attorney for tho
Missouri Pacific, called upon Attorney
General Jackson today and talked the
matter over with him. Mr.. Jackson
declined to sign the stipulation for a
continuance without first comforting
with G.. F. Grattan, attorney for the
railroad commission, but he indicated
that he favored a continuance because
Mr.. Grattan has been absent from
town so much recently that he has not
had time to work on the case. He
agreed to the continuance.

prompted the Secretary of War TO enter
the presidential race. for although Mr..
Taft went To confer with both of his
brothers at the time his name was men

decision was reserved until after he had
returned to his Washington home and
