INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMIs' SION RULES THAT RAISES
 MUST BE POSTPONED.
JANUARY 5 IS DATE SET
Decision Affecting Forty Railroads Is Looked On as Shippers Victory,
 as 1t Will Save Them : Vast Sums

Washington, Sept. 22.-An order isl sued by the interstate commerce com1 mission prohibits the railroads of the middle west putting into effsct| the proposed increase in rates until January 5.
 The ruling affects about forty rail1 roads and is of direct concern to prac- tically all of the railroads centeringl in St Louis and Chicago.
 Shippers to St. Louis aRd otherI cities, who have been vigorously op-l posing the confirmation of the pro-I posed rates by the interstate com' merce commission, and who have had ings before that body, construe the order as temporary victory at least, and they believe the commission tn the end will not permit the proposed rates to go into effect.
 Thousands of dollars will be saved to the shippers in freight rates from November 1 to January 5.
 Moro Time Needed.
 Since July 1 hearings have been held in Chicago and New York, and shippers from all over the country have been active in filing reasons with the commission why the rates should not be advanced Commission. CT Coyle said 1t looked as though the interstate commerce commission re- Quired further time to arrive at a conclusion and continued the hearings until the date early in 1911.
 An order covering nearly fifty ap- plications made by so-called tap line railroads, in which they ask that the larger railroads with which they con- meet be prevented from cancelling through rates over the tap lines, was issued by the commission, providing that existing through rates shall bs retained in force until January 5. 1911.

Quickly realizing the menacing attl. tude of the mob, the two officers that accompanied the girl from Holloway jail summoned the police that were guarding the entrance of the court, and the squad formed a guard about Miss Leneve and fought back the bel ligerent spectators until the prisoner was inside the court building.
 Tho demonstration against Miss Leneve was wholly unexpected and was the result of testimony by Mrs Jackson that Miss Leneve had told her that if Mrs. Crippen were out of the way Dr. Crippen would marry her.
 Doctor Called for Woman.
 Miss Leneve almost collapsed at the first show of the hostile demonstra- ton and by the time she reached the courtroom the services of . physi- clan were necessary to quiet her nerves. She sat throughout the hear ing pale and trembling.
 The excitement attending Miss Len eve's arrival was so great that Grip pen. who was brought to the police court in Black Maria" was able to slip into the building unnoticed.
 To guard against repetition of the outbreak, the police force about the building was doubled.
