 MURDER MYSTERY

Helena. April 16 Evidence will be brought by Prosecuting ,, Attorney R. J. Williams before the grand jury which convenes today throwing all possible light upon the supposed muderer of Andrea Callino, whose body was found only few days ago upon direltion of the Chicago detective depart ment, until which time the of iicials of Phillips county were not aware that a murder had been com mitted at point near LeXa, on February p.
 It is possible that the murder mystery will be cleared up during the present term of court and the guilty man punished. The Chi cago police arrested Andrea Still lone on a misdemeanor charge. Charges were made by acquaint- ances of the Italian connecting him with the death of Callino and he is being held pending the action of the grand jury here.

BIG CROWDS HEAR BRYAN
Over 1000 Attended Lectures
 Here Saturday.
Distinguished Visitor Compliments Gov Donaghey and Judge Frauenthal,
 Who Introduced Him.

More than 1000 people heard William J. Bryan deliver his two lectures in this city Satcrday, and everyone is enthusiastic in his praise of the matchless oratory of the distinguished Nebraskan. A slight change was made in the program of the lectures, the new lecture, "The Price of Soul, :" be- ing delivered in the afternoon and "The Prince of Peace" at night.
 Mir. Bryan was introduced in the aft rnoon by Governor Donaghey, who was highly complimented by the commoner, he stating that Ar kansas had a governor in whom he had perfect confidence as an ex- ponent of true democracy. At night he was introduced by Asso- ciate Justice Samuel Frarenthal, to whom MT. Bryan referred as a distinguished representative of a great race.

MODIFIED RATES ARE ORDERED
Judge Trieber Holds Railroad
 Tariffs Excessive.
tory-Later to be Raised One-Third.

Little Rock, April I9.-Special. In the United States circuit court today, Judge Jacob Trieber rendered decision in the railroad rate cases ordering the railroads to put into effect intrastate freight rates one-third greater than the old rates fixed by the Arkansas Railroad Commission, which were enjoined in a suit by trunk lines at St. Paul, Minn., last summer.
 In his decision Judge Trieber held that the old commission rates were non- compensatory and the rates later put into effect by the railroads after the temporary in- junction was granted are excessive. He stated that unless the commits sion and the railroads get together and agree upon rates which will produce one-third more revenue than the old commission rates, the courc will appoint master to do the work. This virtually settles the permanant injunction.
 Judge Trieber set precedent in this case by ruling that while no court has power to fix rates, it has power to fix rates which shall be charged while the hearing of the application for a permanent in- junction is pending.
 Passenger rates are unaffected by the courts decision, Judge Trieber stating that this is proposition which does not so generally affect the people as freight rates.

CONVICT LEASE ADOPTED
Reaves Gets POO, Despite Gov
 ernor's Protests.
Norwood Thinks State Has Power to Re scind, But Donaghey Wants to
 Be Shown.

Little Rock, April Io.-Special. Overriding the governor, after several heated passages between him and Attorney General Nor wood, the penitentiary board today leased POO ConviCts to w. l.. Reaves for one year at one dollar per day, despite the fact that the legislature a short time ago passed a bill permitting convicts to work on the county roads, similar to the Georgia law.
 In obJecting to granting the lease, Governor Donaghey insisted that the contract gives the board or the legislature the power to rescind it at any time. Attorney General Norwood declared that such power was given in the contract and that the law allows the legislature to rescind the contract at any time without special working con tract. The governor then charged the attorney general with deliver ing different opinions on different occasions, citing the Mir. Nor woods opinion that the legislature could not discharge Caldwell & Drake, the contractors of the new state tcapitol. Attorney General Norwood then endeavored to make an explanation of what he regard ed the difference in the laws and the contracts.

NEW SYSTEM
OF Feeding Prisoners at kernebeo
County Jail Now: IN Effect.


The new system of feeding the
prisoners in the Kennebec county Jail
from tables instead of in their cells
This system is the same as has been
IN operation at the Maine State prison
at Thomaston for some time and has
proved eminently successful there.
The tables are placed in the guard
room for the men prisoners. while one
table for the women prisoners is
placed in their corridor 1t is only
necessary to set the table up once for
the day as they are only taken down
when the corridor. and guard room are
cleaned up. About half an hour is
consumed in the feeding The prison.
ers are summoned by bell from the
various corridors after the cell doors
are unlocked and they march into the
guard room at the tap of the bell.
One stroke of the bell calls the men on
the top corridor the second orders the
men in the bound over corridor while
three strokes of the bell summons the
prisoners from the lower corridor
Silence and strict order is maintained
while the meal is in progress At
guard room and one in the women's
corridor for the accommodation of the
IS prisoners now in the jail
The new method keeps the food
from the cells, is much cleaner and
healthier and when the system is
worked out will prove much easier for
the turnkey and the other officers in
charge The tables were made here
by Court Messenger Frank Page.
while the three legged stools which
are used for seats were manufactured
at the State prison at Thomaston.
Everything was in readiness for the
inauguration of this system except. the
dishes some time ago, but they have
arrived and the SYSTEM after a tria!

put into effect Thursday

proved prison methods. feature in
regard to the new workshop which
will commend itself to the Jail
officials is the underground entrance
which will lead from the Jail bath
room through to the workshop so that
it will not be necessary to march the
prisoners out of doors in order to get
them to and from the workshop. The
stable will occupy the middle floor
of the new building and the store
