the Entire Country.

Washington.-Deci handed down
by the Interstate Commerce commits
sion are countrywide in Importance.
They reduce freight rates-both class
and commodity-on all transconti-
mental lines operating between the At
lantic and Pacific oceans.
These reductions run all the way
from 20 to SO per cent The commits
sion decided that the capital invested
in railroad property and betterments
shown by reports to the commission
did not justify the advance in rates to
the point marked in the new schedules
filed by the railroads.
The decisions are Of what popularity
are known as the Pacific coast cases.
They were heard last autumn by the
commission on it's six weeks trip to
the Pacific coast and intermountain
territory and have been under con-
sideration ever since.
The commission realized the i'm
mense importance of tie cases, not
only to the railroads, but to the ship
ping public throughout the country,
and it prepared it's opinions with the
greatest care. In every instance re-
auctions in the existing rates COM
planned of were made and in some in
stances they amounted to nearly SO
per cent

SENATOR JOHN w. DANIEL
Is DEAD I'M VIRGINIA
Oldest Democrat in United States Sen.
ate Dies After Continued illness,
of Cerebral Hemorrhaqe.

Lynchburg, Va.-Senator John w.
Daniel died here of an attack of par
alysis on the right side, the second at
tack with a few months. There was
cerebral hemorrhage late in the
day, followed by complete paralysis.
in which condition the senator re-
manned till the end
This was Senator Daniels third
paralytic stroke. He suffered the first
last fall while in Philadelphia and the
second in Daytona, Fla, during the
winter, having gone to Florida to re-
cuperate. He had not been in Wash
ington for several niunths. Senator
Daniel was siXty-seven years old.
With Senator Daniel were his wife
and his son, Edward M. Daniel and
his daughter, Mrs. Fred Harper. whose
husband. also here, is Senator Daniels
law partner.
The death of Senator John Warwick
Daniel removes the oldest of the
| Democratic senators in point of serv-
ice. Of the entire list he was the only
one who could be said to belong to
the old regime. And, as he was the
oldest in service, he was one of the
most conspicuous in popular favor.
For the past few years he had re-
manned much in the background. His
health had not been good and his
growing years seemed to tell on him.
New Orleans.-Samuel Douglas Nc
Emery, United States senator from
Louisiana, suddenly expired at his
home here following an attack of
acute indigestion.
The senator arrived here Monday
from Washington. He was seventy
three years old, and death was super
induced by old age.
IN all probability Gov. Jared Y.
Sanders will be chosen by the Louis
lana legislature, now in session, as
senator, McEnery's successor. 1t is
thought that the leading figures in
state politics have figured upon the
aged senator's passing for some time,
but it was not anticipated exactly at
this juncture.

Gus character.

that 1t was purely an accident, that
the automobile was going slowly, and
that the man stepped directly in front

change in the plans of the Taft family
The Tafts were planning to depart on
the yacht Sylph for New London to

Unless there is an unexpected change

telegram to his son, ordering him to
secure the best aid possible for the
