AGREEMENT
Its Litigation With Railroad Commis sion is Suspended for Years as
 With Rock Island and Frisco.

Little Rock, July 14.-An agreement has been filed by the Kausas City Southern railroad whereby it enters into the formal suspension of all pending litiga tion for the period of one year. The agreement also provides that the court tariff and the 212 cent passenger rate shall b. estab- iished for the year.
 The Kansas City Southern mo- -tified the commission about three weeks ago that it would enter iu- to the suspension agreement and no action has been taken in its case by the counsel of the com mission, awaiting the filing of the agreement. The filing of 1t yes terday is the formal step in the matter and places the road on a par with the Frisco and Rock Is- land.
 With only the Iron Mountain and the Cotton Belt left in the litigation, the counsel for the railroad commission will be able to concentrate its efforts toward a successful conclusion of the two cases.
