DROPS HIS GOLF.
Taft VIII Play No More Until His
Speech Is Finished.

Hot Springs, Va, July 16.-Pressed
by the necessity of having his speech
of acceptance prepared several days in
advance of its delivery on the 2sth,
William H. Taft today determined to
forego his usual recreation and exer-
else until the end of his task is in
sight Golf and horseback riding will
not figure in his daily routine again
until the speech is sufficiently perfect
ed to lift the burden of its preparation
from him.
Mr. Taft was in his office earIy to-
day and resumed the dictatfon of the
paper to w. w. Mischler, his stenog-
rapher. He has gone over the docu-
ments he desired to study before die
tating his speech and has the subject
thoroughly in hand He will keep
close to his task until it is finished.
Arthur I. Vorys talked with Mr..
Taft briefly today, but will defer any
further extended conference on the
Ohio situation until the candidate has
practically disposed Of the work be-
fore him. Interesting phases of the
Ohio situation especially in relation to
the senatorship are sure to come into
prominence as the campaign pro-
crosses When questioned TODAY as to
the possibility Of keeping the senator
ial and presidential contest apart in
Ohio, Mr.. Vorys merely replied with
another question.
Hasn't been done up to this time
has it?"
A short time ago Mr.. Taft received
about 100 letters and yesterday his
mail contained $50. The labor OF
keeping pace with this correspondence
is taxing the capacity OF his secretary
and stenographers.

MEXICAN IS KILLED
NanricO Gutierrez Stabs Miguel
Rainrez During Fight.
Men Had Been Intimate Friends
and Quarreled.

AS the result Of a quarrel over
small debt, two Mexican Santa Fe
laborers engaged in a knife duel last
night, and one of the combatants is
dead. Miguel Rainrez, who was killed.
lived at Second and Hancock streets
with his brother and Nanrico Cutter
rez, the slayer. lived a few doors away
on the same street. After the fight
Gutierrez left the scene Of the fight,
cashed his time check at Curry's con-
fectionery store on East Fourth street,
and left town. The sheriff and cor
oner were notified, and the body OF
Rainrez was removed to Talty's under
taking establishment, where a post
mortem was held at 10 o'clock this
morning.
In the fight, which resulted from a
quarrel over a small debt which Rain
reg owed Gutierrez, the men fought for
several minutes in the street in front
Of the Gutierrez residence, the fam
lilies of both men being witnesses to the
battle. 1t is declared by the Rainrez
family that he was attacked by Gutter
rez and fought only in self-defense.
until he fell to the ground, stabbed In
several places. DR.. H. H. Keith, cor
oner, who examined the body Of the
dead Mexican, states that either of
two Of the wounds, one in the head and
another in the abdomen, would have
caused death.
Officers have been unable to locate
the murderer, who evidently left town
as soon as he caShed his time check.
The two Mexican families were sup
posed to be good friends until 10
o'clock last night. when the fight was
started. Rainrez and his family had
called at the home Of Gutierrez for a
visit when he was 'dunned" for the
small loan. None of the witnesses to
Lin i.I ax,I
interpreter was used by the Officers.
When. Or. Keith. held an autopsy
over the body Of the dead Mexican to-
day, the sudden death of the man was
easily explained. The wounds, one In
the head and another in the stomach
were of sufficient depth to cause
death, but not instantly, and DIR. Keith
could not understand, from the visible
injuries, why the man was dead within
five minutes from the time of the
stabbing. When the body was ex-
amined, it was found that the knife
had been thrust upward from the
stomach, and pierced the heart. In
fact the heart was split for two inches
showing that the murderer used a
knife nearly foot in length.
viewed the body today, and the in
quest will be held either on Saturday
or Monday. giving the county attorney
and sheriff time to. secure evidence
AS all the witnesses are Mexicans evil
dence is hard to secure. Deputy
sheriffs are searching the Mexican
camps along the Santa Fe and Rock
Island for several miles in either di-
rection, in hopes of finding Mexican
laborers who have seen the murderer
in his fight.
The body of Rainrez will be buried
at the expense of the county, as the
family is without means, and the little
wages coming to the dead man from
| the Santa Fe will be insufficient to
| take the widow and two children back
| to their home in Mexico.

the commission and was thus sub
jected to a higher charge than the
through rate by the proper route.
A decision of peculiar interest is
that in the case of shipment which
was rendered destined to a certain
point the direct route to which was
over the line of two carriers, dis
tance Of 35S miles the rate via that
route being % cents 1t was possible
to send the shipment around over
the lines of three carriers, a dis
tance of GIT miles, and secure a COM
bination rate of only 10 cents.
Application was made for a refund on
account Of the difference between the
rates, but the commission held that
the claim for a refund should be de-
MED on the ground that the much
longer and indirect route was not q
reasonable route.

commerce RULINGS.
The Commission Gives Out a Number
of Important Decisions.

Washington, July 16.-That a
household servant when travelling
with a member of the family entitled
to a pass is lawfully included within
the term family as used In the act
to regulate commerce, is one of sew
eral interesting rulings made public
by the Interstate Commerce COM
mission. The rulings are upon ques-
tions raised or submitted to the COM
mission in correspondence. This de-
ruling which held that the word
family as used in the antf-pass pro-
vision of the act did not include SER
wants.
In another ruling the commission
holds that common carriers NAV pro-
vide at points along their lines, eat
ing houses for passengers and en-
ployes of such carriers. and that
property for use of the eating houses
may be properly regarded as neces-
sary and intended for use of the car
riers in the conduct or their busf-
ness. 1t is provided that these eating
houses, however, must not serve the
general public or any portion thereof
with food prepared from commodi-
ties which have been carried at less
than the full published rates and
that no utensils, fuel or servants en-
ployed at all in serving other than
passengers and employees OF the car
tariff rates 1t is held in another de-
cision that a belt line owned by a
municipality, which participates in
interstate movements is subject to the
Jurisdiction of the act to regulate
commerce and of the commission.
In still another decision the COM
mission holds that a misrouting car
rier may be authorized to make a re-
fund on account of its error in mis-
routing a shipment and that the car
rier which participated in the trans
portation with lawful tariff ap-
plicable thereto should be dealt with
through the department of prosecu-
tions."
In this case a. shipment was mis-
routed and passed over route via q
part of which no rate was fled with
