SIX PER CENT EXEMPTION
DUE FOR ROUGH SAILING

Jackson, Miss. Feb. IS.
1t is expected that the house committee
on ways and means will make a favor
able report this week on the bill ex-
empting from taxation all mo ney loan
ed at 6 per cent or less, which was pas
sed by the senate several days ago.
The 6 per cent exemption bill will
probably encounter rougher sailing in
the house than it experienced in the
senate, a very strong opposition having
already developed on the theory that on
ly the capitalist will be identified by
such an exemption, that it will be used
as a subterfuge, without giving to Dor
rowers the benifit of reduced interest
rates.
On the other hand, the friencs of the
bill %stoutly insist that even if it would
accomplish nc other good, the exemp-
ton would serve to minimize the amout
of perjury now prevailing in the state
among people who habitually make
false statements to assessors regarding
solvent credits in their possession. The
bill will doubtless bring out a very in
teresting debate.

COL. RUSSELL OFFERS
IL CENT RATE

Jackson. Miss. February IT,
Especial. Legislation on the
passenger rate question has been
leftin a state of confusion by the
action of the Mobile and Ohio and
of the Southern railwaysin agree
ing to establish a conditional in
terstate fiat rate of % cents a
mile. Officials of other railroads
strongly oppose any such move.
Since the beginning of the ses-
sion it has been apparent that
the re is no desire among the
members to enact radical laws
regulating the common carriers,
and until Col Russell's offer was
made, the indications were that
the passenger rate question
would not be acted upon in any
manner, the subject being left to
the railroad commission for read
justment. Now, however, the
aspect has changed considerably.
The belief prevails that Col. Rus
sells offer will have many sup
porters, and that the more radi-
cal element will want to go a step
further and enact a flat rate of
2 cents per mile, without any
conditions whatsoever attached
relative to withdrawal in event
it should be shown that the rate

NO NINE.HoUR LAW EXTENSION
Interstate Commission Denies Petl
ton of Railroads.

Washington, Mar. 3.-The interstate
commerce commission decided Mon
day by unanimous vote to deny all
petitions for the extensions of time
within which to comply with the So
called hours of service law-the
nine-hour law. The reasons will be
stated in a report which is now in
course of preparation and will be an
nounced in a few days.
Washington, March. 3. - American
railways have made arrangements to
comply with the provisions of the
"nine-hour law" the operation Of the
law will mean the employment by
railroad companies of several thou.
sand additional operators and the clos
ing of a large number of small sta
tions on the principal systems.
Disseminating of railway service at
many points, 1t is thought. will induce
at least temporary inconvenience to
travelling and shipping public. In order
to reduce operating expenses. which
now seems necessary. the operating
officials Of the railways believe that
this is the only, way that they possibly
can meet the situation with which
they are confronted.

The man then evidently waited an
til he saw my buggy drive up and
knew was going down town. He
came up with an addressed envelope
which had piece Of blank paper in
side. 1t flashed over my mind that he
was an assassin. and l grasped his
hands, shouting to my wife"
Probably Saved His Wife.
Continuing, the chief said: "She
felt his weapon, but he threw her
aside, and the fact that shot him
probably saved her life, as he wrig.
gled away from her grasp. My son
was shot as he was running down
stairs. He had been home sick for a
week. The anarchist passed my
daughter on the steps of the house,
but made no attempt to molest her.
She came running back as the man
was killed on the hall steps,"
Detectives who started to work on
the case were told by the chief that
he believed the man to be affiliated
with an outside band of anarchists.
They limited that the priest who was
murdered in Denver last Sunday might
have been a victim of the same band.
Description of Assassin.
The official description of the assss-
sin sent to all police stations was as
follows:
About 26 years old, five feet six

hand. The mayor declined to grasp
the strangers hand and eyed the man
closely.
II want job, and l am not coming
here to ask you for one any more.
If do not get position something is
going to happen" said the man.
The incident, following so closely on
the attack on Chief Shippy, quickly
spread through the city hall and
caused alarm among the heads of de-
partments, several of whom gave
orders to their clerks that in future
they would not grant interviews with
suspicious looking strangers.

returned by the federal grand jury
Tuesday.
There were 13 counts in each of the
indictments charging the Frisco rail-

the lumber company on that number
of shipments, and the lumber company
with accepting the rebates.
The various counts are based on
shipments of lumber alleged to have
been made by the Frisco for the

and July, 1905. from points in Arkan

For some time rumors have been
