ASKS ORDER TO
BE SUSPENDED

Little Rock, August 27.-Follow
ing the decision of the Arkansas rail
road commission in its morning ses-
sion Friday Chairman w. A. Falcon
er fthe commission late in the after
noon dictated and sent to Chairman
Martin A. Knapp of the interstate
ment of the position of the Arknsas
tap lines, asking the commission to
set aside the order under which the
trunk lines of the state has issued a
tariff shutting off the tap lines from
participating in the division of
freight rates. This order is only ask
ed to be suspended until the lines
can have a hearing before the commits
sion and convince it they are common
carriers in every manner implied by
the term. The letter to Chairman
Knapp states that there are many
lines in the state not exempt under
the recent ruling of the interstate
commission, which are common car
riers and should not have the injus-
tice of being shut off from participat-
ing in the present arrangement of
freight rates until they have had a
hearing in court. One line has al
ready gone into court to enjoin the
Rock Island from cutting it off from
the participation in a division of the
blanket lumber rates on shipments
originating on its lines, and others
will do this unless the interstate COM
mission issues an order granting the
suspension before the tariffs go into
effect, early in September. All of the
lumbermen who attended the Friday
meeting left for their homes last
night, convinced that on the showing
made and the letter written by the Ar
kansas commission, the interstate
commission would grant them the
hearing. Several of the line init.
mated they would have to suspend
pending a settlement of the case, if
the interstate commission did not act
favorably upon the request of the Ar
kansas commission.

not such that a Waterville person could

Lawyer Out Three Thousand Dollars
Through Clever Trick.

Meadville, Pa. July 20.-Attorney l..

ed to buy the farm of j. c. Munger, or

rangements with Lauderbaugh to Dor
row $4,000 on a mortgage on the farm
as soon as the deed should be record
ed. Squire j. c. Greenfield, of Con-
MEANWHILE, was to look after Munger s

pect that 1t was forgery and Dor
