IMPORTANT CASES FOR
 SUPREME COURT TRIAL

What the court may do in this case will be of moment in its bearings on the Standard oil company case, which is on it's way to the supreme court and Is likely to be submitted to that tribunal the coming winter.
 Several highly important interstate commerce cases are to be argued be- fore the court as soon as the term be- gins. One of the very first cases the court will hear Is the much-discussed case of the Southern Pacific and the Ore gon and California Railway company vs. the interstate commerce commission. This is the case involving the direct question of the right of the commis- sion to fix railroad rates, which was cer- tiled to the supreme court by the cir cult court in northern California on the ground that the court below was divided. The department of justice officials think the supreme court will throw the case out for the reason that the court be- low was not divided In the sense Of being evenly divided two judges taking one position and one taking another.
 If the supreme court sends this case back to the lower court the question of whether the interstate commerce com mission has the power to fix rates will wait on the decision of the supreme court in the Missouri river rate case, which Judge Grosscup lately passed on adversely to the government

O'NedI And Weakley Battle
 ODe1 Six Hours A Sheffield

St. Peter, Minn, September 2S.-The lit- tie town of St. Peter, the birthplace and final resting place of the late Gov John A. Johnson, held a concourse of people today more than double It's popula- ton.
 From the small towns and surrounding counties as well as from the large cities of the state thousands gathered to pay a last tribute in the final obsequies over the remains of Minnesota's favorite son.
 The buildings in the town were draped in black and white crepe flags were at half mast and pictures of the late governor, wreathed in national colors, were seen everywhere. But these out ward manifestations were but slightly in dcative of the deep all-pervading gloom. At stations along the road from St. Paul crowds were present to pay homage.
 At Shakespeare Belleplain and other stations the whole population of each town was at the station
 School children with flags pointed downward lined the street on each side of the train, while small boys and gray haired men stood with barred heads as the governors body was hurried toward it's resting place.
 A special train from Minneapolis car rying the mayor and city officials of the city preceded the special train today.
 As the governors train pulled into the station at 4:25 p. m. heavy rain began to fall but the thousands of persons stood with uncovered heads.
 The sun appeared again before the pro cession reached the Presbyterian church.
 The body was escorted from the train to the Presbyterian church by Company K, Second infantry, Minnesota National Guard. The streets and sidewalks all the way from the station to the church were lined with mourners who stood with barred heads as the governors body was carried past

M'CANN CONVICTED
 BY CHICAGO JURY

Chicago, September 23.-Police Inspec- tor Edward McCann, charged with grating" was found guilty by jury which reported In Judge Barnes court today.
 Sentence will not be pronounced until after the hearing of arguments for new trial
 The charges against McCann include al- legged graft" of many thousands of dol lars from disorderly houses for pro tecton.'
 The chief witness against McCann was Louis Frank, a Russian immigrant, who, unable to read or write, accumulated a fortune in the west side tenderloin coli lecting the protection money at $40 per month.
 Louis Frank and his brother for years have exercised a marked power in west side politics.
 Louis Frank testified that he collected the protection money from denizens of the tenderloin. The first two collections, he stated on the witness stand were paid to eDtectve Jeremiah Griffin. who he said acted agent for McCann There after, he declared. he had given the money to McCann in person.
 The rate for protection was said to be $40 a month. Several checks, each dated a month apart. and calling for that sum, were exhibited In court. A list of women from whom it was charged protection money was regularly col lected. was read in court and identified by both Louis and Julius Frank
 McCann's defense was that he had SUD- pressed and regulated vice in his dis trict with so rigorous hand that a con spracy headed by Louis Frank was formed against him.
 inspector McCann came to this country from Scotland. He was at first a miner but 20 years ago joined the Chicago police force as a patrolman. By degrees he ad- vanced until three years ago he was made an inspector and placed in charge of the district west of the river

 The main line of the Illinois Central railroad is still blocked, as eight miles of the track and roadbed were washed out at Manchae. Sections of the rails and ties were carried clear out of the right of-way by the rushing waters, and 1t will be several days before through traffic is restored over the main line. The trains are now being detoured over the Yazoo ard Mississippi Valley road Seneral Superintendent H. McCourt of Mmphis is supervising the repair work with a force of several hundred men.
 The other railroads have succeeded in clearing their tracks and traffic has been resumed.

NO MASSACRE HAS
 OCCURRED IN KEY

Kiev, September 23.-There has been no massacre in Kiev. There have, how ever. been some slight disorders which apparently have been the foundation for the sensational reports sent abroad. An investigation shows that on September a reactionary assaulted and beat Jew in Stobodka, suburb of Kiey. A number of Jews then attacked tea house. where reactionary leader was holding meet ing They broke the windows of the house with stones and demanded that the lead CTS be delivered into their hands. Instead of complying the reactionares sallied forth and attacked the Jews and in the struggle few persons were wound- ed. The affair was in no way serious. The Jews in Kiev knew nothing of what had transpired in spite of the fact that Stobodka is just across the river from this city. Again on September 21 there was another encounter of no importance, sflall fracas which was promptly put down by the police.

These records will be carefully considered within the next few days ana General Hubbard and Commander Peary will confer either next Sunday or Mon day. This consultation may result In an announcement, making public any infor- nation In the possession of Commander Peary concerning Dr. Cook.
 Peary has placed his case in Genera Hubbard's hands and a meeting of the officers of the Peary Arctic club will be called at the earliest possible moment by General Hubbard. This meeting will be held in New York This action will be taken because General Hubbard believes that Commander Peary's interests will benefit by an early submission of his rec ords and observations of his trip to the pole.
 "Concerning Dr. Cook" said General Hubbard, T would say let him submit his records and data to some competent au- thority and let that authority draw It's conclusions from the notes and records taken in the field. Dr. Cook Is reported as having said that he wants 60 days to go over his records in order to work out his conclusions to show that he has been to the pole.
 Tt is for the scientific tribunal-whether the Royal Geographical society of Dem mark or any other society-to say whether conclusions have been reached by consideration of the records. All that is wanted is the data and records made in the Arctic and competent authority will determine whether Dr. Cook has been.
 T may say that Commander Peary will also be expected to turn over his data and observations for the same purpose. What proof Commander Peary has that Dr. Cook was not at the pole may be sub mitted later.'
 While Peary and General Hubbard will not discuss what societes shall consider Commander Peary's data, the Coast and Geodetic survey at Washington will ex- anime records in an official capacity inas- much as Commander Peary is an officer of the navy attached to that bureau at present.
