BABIES MAY CRY AT WILL.
No Law to Prevent Crying, Wise Sc
Iectmen Decide.

Boston, Oct. 19.-The babies of
Brookline, wealthiest town in the
world, may yell at the top of their
healthy young lungs and as long as
they please now. Let nervous old maids
go In Mysteries and crusty bachelors
tear their hair; 1t makes no difference
to. the crying babies.
Very small Donald Howard, who
lives with his papa and mamma. Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Howard, at William
and Harvard streets, Brookline, has
had pain under his rib recently, and
has cried a great deal. Neighbors of
the Howards complained to the board
of selectmen that little Donald dis
turbs their peace by day, murders their
sleep and is a public nuisance gener-
ally
Very gravely, the se1ectmen consid-
cred the complaint. They decided, and
the precedent now stands in Brook
line, but there is no law that forbids a
baby to cry, and that, therefore, cry
as he may, he cannot legally be con-
sidered q public nuisance.

PATRICK GOES TO HIGH COURT.

bunaI May Be Made Today.

Washington, Oct. 19.-The motion
Of Albert T. Patrick, the New York
lawyer who is serving a life sentence
at Sing Sing for numbering the Texas
millionaire, Rice, for an appeal from
the United States circuit court OF
New York, denying him a writ Of
habeas corpus, will be formally pres
sented to the supreme court.
Patrick's brief is couched In strong
language, and some of the accusa-
tions are sensational to degree. He
declares that he is in prison as q re-
suit of the arbitrary exercise of power
by the Governor Of New York, who
was then Mr.. Higgins; that the court
which tried his case was without jur@
isdiction, and hence that he was Neg>
ally convicted.

FIGHT OVER RATE CUT.
Seven Western Roads File Suit
Against Commerce Commission.

Seven Western Roads File Suit
Against Commerce Commission.
Chicago, Oct 19-What bids fair to
be one of the most stubborn rate fights
in the history of the interstate COM
merce commission was begun by seven
western railroads which are seek
ing to have the order of the commits
sion in the Missouri river jobbers' case
reversed.
The battle was started by a bill in
the United States circuit court asking
for an injunction restraining the COM
mission from enforcing its order. The
bill was filed by Colin Fyffe. represent
ing the Milwaukee, Rock Island, North
western and Great Western roads
The order In question, If carried out,
the bill alleges, will cost the railroads
untold millions of dollars annually in
revenue. It will. furthermore, change
the present basis Of rate-making and
will make distance the governing fac
tor. It will also mean that a thru
rate shall in all cases he less than local
rates. To Chicago it would mean that
the Missouri river jobbers would have
an immense advantage over the mer-
chants here unless the principle should
be carried OuL W It's 1OSlSdi SoiiSAuSAoAi'
thereby giving Chicago an advantage
over the Missouri river jobbers in the
far west territory.
In short. the order OF the commits
sion, which requires the railroads to
reduce their rates between the Mis-
sissippi and Missouri rivers from to
10 cents per 100 pounds on all ship
ments coming from points east Of Chi
cago, is regarded by the railroads as
revolutionary
Furthermore, It Is contended that
should this principle be carried out to
its logical conclusion and all rates be
based upon it, the result would be
readjustment Of the freight rates Of
the entire country upon new and
lower basis and that the new basis
would not change the commercial con-
ditions.
The bill also contends that the old
rates are reasonable and just and that
In reducing the proportional rates be-
tween the rivers the commission has
made the railroads charge a lower rate
for q more expensive service.
It Is further contended that the COM
mission exceeded its authority by vir-
tually fixing the division of the thru
rates and assigning a proportion to the
eastern and to the western roads. Ac-
cording to the law, 1t is contended, the
commission has no right to fix the per-
centage Of division Of thru rates be-
tween railroads unless the railroads
fail to agree among themselves on the
divisions. The new rates go into ef-
feet on Oct. 2e and the railroads hope
to get the petition for an injunction
heard next week by three judges.
