FREIGHT RATES.

In his talk TO the people Of Iowa at
Des Moines yesterday the president
took as his theme the matter of the
control of transportation rates. In
cidental to the discussion of this ques-
ton, Mr. Taft naturally referred to
the antitrust regulations and the
much mooted boycott question. His
analysis of the rate question Ii worth
careful perusai: II is positive In Its
presentation OF the matter. and In its
deductions Ii recognizes the rights Of
the railways ms well as those of the
shipper. The fault In the existing
railway regulation plan OF the govern
ment has been found 10 be that 1t Is
too one-sided; 1t fails to recognize I'm
Important details the fact that the
railways possess some rights that
must be considered Mr.. Taft Is I'M
qualifiedly in favor of government
regulation. he insists that 1t must be
reasonable In order to be effective.
and he makes some interesting sug-
gestions ms to the method that must
be followed In the revision of the
functions of the interstate commerce
commission. As a coroilary to the
rate laws the antitrust law comes
naturally. and with that the boy colt
of the railways which some OF the
central states farmers have invoked
ut times. Mr.. Taft outlines law
which. In his estimation. would dis
tinguish between trade combination
which was conspiracy and a com
bination which was legitimate In its
purpose. As he suggests. the line Is
one which is sometimes difficult to
determine. but he believes II can be
done. In all the speeches of this tour
there is none which the president viii
make that will awaken greater inter
est than that Of yesterday morning
II Is worth careful consideration.

1t is true that witnesses dare not tell
the whole truth in these Investigations
because IL they did they would be
marked men thereafter. Hence l as
sumo that the witnesses in this case
who belong to the marine corps sup
pressed some essential facts.
But everyone now knows Sutton
was brutally treated that night. II
severe court martiallngs do not result,
the army and navy will suffer in the
public estimation"
Widespread demand has been cre-
ated for drastic action. Evidence that
the lieutenants beat Sutton savagely
after he was exhausted beyond power
to harm them has stirred UP a senti-
ment here which 1t is believed will
force further action, no matter what
verdict the board of inquiry returns.
This weeks evidence, with the nu-
merous facts brought to light from
other sources, proves Sutton was ex-
ceedingly unpopular, but the severest
censure is now visited upon the navy
department for the absurdly made
quate original inquest and upon Sut-
toms brother lieutenants for combin-
ing to beat his damned head off"
as Lieutenant Willing, officer of the
day, swore he advised that night.

that of an Armenian was found in a
trunk in lodging house at No. 14S
Liberty street today. The head was
mutilated and there was a bullet

by Mrs. Rollins, the lodging house
keeper, and her husband. Monday a
new trunk was brought to the house
for Jones.

been any disturbance in the room and
that nothing had ever been noticed
there to arouse suspicion until today
The door of the room was not lock-
ed, she said, and she had paid a
daily visit to 1t since Monday to as
certain whether Jones had returned

MEAVY FIGHTING is
RESUMED BY THE MOORS

Madrid.-Official dispatches re-
ceived from Melilla say that the
Moors resumed the offensive and
seem to be trying to reach the heights
of Allalayou with the object of d.
rectly attacking Melilla.
The fighting at Melilla last night
was very severe and lasted all night.
The Spanish losses were heavy.
The crack regiments of the King
are now being modified.
General Marina, commander of the
Spanish forces in Morocco, has re-
ceived letter from the Moorish chief
warning him that the only way Of
avoiding a bloody was is by the with
drawal of the Spanish troops from the
territory in dispute.
According to the latest dispatches
the Moors in the fighting yesterday
made series of fierce attacks at sew
eral points along the Spanish line.
with the evident object of cutting
communication between Melilla and
General Marina's camp at Allalayou
and OF isolating the stores in the sta
ton at the extremity of the Spanish
position.
The Moors advanced steadily along
the railroad. but were driven back
by the artillery. The gunboat Martin
Alonzo Pinzon bombarded the enemy,
but was forced to fire high in order
to avoid hitting the Spanish forces.
The Moors employed modern and dar-
ing tactics. They cut the telephone
wires and often endangered the
Spanish position. The Spanish loss
was 10 killed and 20 wounded.

into the basement that at noon yes
terday there was still three feet of
water.
The basement was completely fill
ed with furniture of all descriptions
and practically all of it was a total
loss, while the furniture in every
other part of the building was more
or less damaged by smoke and water.
Karl Guiott, the we'll known local
musician, is also on of the losers by
the fire, as a piano which he had
placed in the store for safe keeping,
was damaged by the rough treatment
It received in the course of the fire.

remain closed until after the loss has
been adjusted by the insurance COM
