Youngstown Tragedy.
WERE FIRST ON The SCENE

Patrolman and Another Resident Of
Ohio Town Heard Body Of Victim
Strike Pavement and Declare En-.
p%haticaiIy That the Statement Made
by the WhitIa kidnapper Could Not
i, Be True.
Youngstown, O., May 12.-James
Boyle's story of the death of Daniel
Feeble, Jr., which occurred here four
teen years ago, received a severe jolt
when George Batteiger. who was near
the scene of the accident when Feeble
me- his death, related his version OF
the case.
Batteiger says he was standing in
front of a restaurant a short distance
from tho, spot where Reeble's~ body
was found when Feeble fell. He heard
the thud which followed the striking
of the body on the sidewalk and had
started an investigation as to the
cause of the noise when he was met
by Michael Donnelly, q patrolman,
VINO had also heard the body a]ight.
The two men walked up to the scene
Of the accident and picked up Feeble,
who was unconscious and at the point
of death.
Batteiger saw no one in the vicinity
in which the accident took place until
Joined by Donnelly. Until Batteiger
told his story Donnelly had forgotten
Batteiger's presence when the body
was found. He soon recalled Bat
teiger helping him pick up the body,
however, and c%orroborated his story
in every particular. Donnelly had
been in the vicinity of the accident
throughout the evening and he does
not believe that either Dan Shay or
James Boyle was On his beat through
out the night. He knew them both
well.

troduced q bill proposing radical changes
in the Interstate Commerce Act. In q
large sense the Cummins measure is a
substitute for the present Interstate
Commerce Act.
1t is expected that measures proposing
amendments to the law will be intro
duced early in January by Senator
Elkins, which will differ from the Cum
minis bill in many important details.
In brief, the Dummins bill requires
the Interstate Commerce Commission to
promulgate a uniform classification Of
freight and to prepare a plan for the
statement Of freight rates which shall
hereafter be made in a uniform way.
The carriers are required to adopt this
classification.
The Commission is authorized to con-
slider rates on its Town motion, with a
view to determining their reasonable
ness, and is empowered to fix maxi
mum and minimum rates.
In any action instituted in Court &c
| set aside an order of the Commission
respecting rates, the Courts are pre-
vented from inquiring into the reason
ableness or sufficiency Of any rate fixed
by the Commission.
The bill provides thai changes il
rates shall not become effective unit

1t prohibits the acquisition or contro
by any common carrier of any parable
competing line, or from acquiring thu
capital stock or bonds Of any other car
rier that is a competitor.
By the terms of the bill a carrier i
prohibited from issuing any capita
stock without payment at par. either il
money or il property, and, in effect
the Commission shall haye supervision
of the issues of stocks and bonds by an,
carrier.
Specific directions are given for tn
dispositions OF the proceeds OF any sal
of bonds. After January 1. 1911, n
carrier doing interstate business shal
be permitted to engage in any othe

Utah Scores Against Nevada

Salt Lake Tribune: ~Sheepmen Of
Utah scored . victory over the Nevada
authorities recently when che latter at
tempted to prevent Utah sheep from
entering Nevada ranges on the ground
that a spread Of the lip and leg disease
was likely to result.
Anticipating a quarantine. Utah flock
masters made an early start. aud more
than 1000 sheep crossed the line be-
fore the inspectors arrived to enforce the
order. Realizing that they had been
beaten, the Nevada officials permitted
several thousand sheep to enter later.
Utah sheepmen look upon the move
as an attempt on the part of the Nevada
men to monopolize the ranges in that
State.
