Little Rock, Sept. 3.-W. E. Floyd, shortly after noon today received a telegram from Hon. J. w. Crockett, a member of the commission who is in St. Paul. This message states that freight and passenger rates were en- joined,' but did not give any of the details of the ruling of the court
 MT. Floyd in speaking of the Asso- ciated Press report regarding the in- terfering with the interstate freight rate, said:
 "The railroad companies claimed that the state railroad commission was making rates on rough materials which should properly be under the in- terstate rate. This rough material rate applies mostly to lumber, and the railroads claim that 90 per cent of the lumber traffic is out, nauls to points in other states and therefore should come under the interstate rates. I would infer that Judge Vandeyenter has so held ill his opinion. Of course you un- derstand this is only speculation on my part, not having any knowledge on the matter other than the press re- port"
 The supposition is that the state and the shippers, who have been making a hard fight against the railroads in their effort to enjoin the commission from the enforcing of the 2-cent rate jaw and the commission tariff of freight rates have lost their whole contention. If, however, only the in- terstate rates are enioined it means a partial victory for the commission. since it's right to continue the making of rates for state traffic remains un- questioned.
 It is believed, however, that it will not be long before the railroads have resumed the Scent passenger fare which prevailed before the last Legis- lature passed the 2-cent rate act. 1t is not known when the hearing is set to make the injunction permanent.
 The state was represented at the preliminary hearing by Attorney Gen.

her since her fathers funeral, but he
had heard that she was leaving the
rectory and--so it was reported-the

haunted him, the face out Of which
had been crushed ioyousness and
youth. This had been Hugo's work,
and he cursed him when he thought
of what she was and what she had
been. His feeling against Charters
was the more bitter, because he had
had a share in the catastrophe, and
Eecause both men and the woman had
been the victims Of inevitable circum-
stance.
Hugo urged him to visit Hernshaw

'Now's your chance" he said, en-
Ehatically. Il should leave England

If I knew that you'd have her in the
