 Coach Bezdew led with q short but pointed address m which he thanked the students for their loyalty and the fine college spirit they had manifest ed. He also praised his warriors for fheir consistent work during the season. In closing he empha- sized the fact that Arkansas has yet a hard game 10 play and that judging from the recent de- velopments. the Thanksgiving game with Washington tnversl- tv at Little Rock would be the hardest of the season.

 Prof. Futrall was then called upon for an address.
 This display of university spirit IS what 1 have been look ing for for l5 years, he said. It IS what the University of Arkansas. most needs. From the amount of enthusiasm displayed here this morning, there is no doubt but that the University of Arkansas has obtained some of the spirit that makes college life worth while. Every student m the university rejoices with the spirit that comes from conquest.
 President Tillman presided throughout the meeting and with the other members of the faculty gave his hearty support to the demonstration.
 The entire morning was prac- tically devoted to the reception of the team and even at the af- ternoon sessions, university af- fairs had hardly regained their wonted calm.

Des MOInes Rate Case Similar
to Missouri River Case.

Chicago, Sept 1.-The Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific Railway com
pany and seven other railroad COM
panies interested In the order of the
Interstate commerce commission in
stituting new proportional rate be-
tween Chicago and Des MoineS, have
withdrawn their suit to enjoin en-
forcement of the order.
The withdrawal was due to recent
decision by the United States circuit
court in the Missouri river rate case
In which the alleged power of the
commission to make new rates was
denied. The principle involved In the
Des Moines case is the same as that
decided In the Missouri river rate
case and will be reviewed by the su
preme court of the United States.
The decree in the Missouri rfvel
rate case has been entered and i'm
mediately following this action thu
appeal to the supreme tribunal OF th'
country was perfected. The appeal i
based almost entirely on the dissent
ing opinion handed down by Judg
Baker, who could not agree with hi
