To Enioin Rate Raising.

Washington, May 31.-Following
shortly after the introduction Of a
resolution by Senator LaFollette de-
nouncing the proposed increase Of
freight rates tomorrow as an evi-
dence of combination, and calling on
the department of justice for action,
Attorney-General Wickersham as
sured certain senators today that
suit would be filed before night in
Chicago to stop the enforcement of
the proposed increase.
La Toilette resolution came after
a protest registered with congress
yesterday regarding the proposed
freight rate increase. The rates pro-
tested against are general increases
planned to go into effect tomorrow,
June 1. The shippers declared that
these rates were fixed in an effort to
head off interference by the inter
state commerce commission under
tine new railroad regulation bill,
which would give the interstate COM
merce commission power to suspend
Increases.
The shippers protesting declared
that the new rates would work a
great hardship and asked that some
more speedy methoG of intervention
be used than that which the shipper
is usually able to employ It was
suggested that the provisions of the
Sherman antitrust law prohibiting
combination might be found effec-
tive
1t has been known for a month
that the increased rates would take
effect June 1. The railroads have
announced them. They apply large
~ to rates between Chicago and
Mississippi river points to points
west. The rates we're even and uni
form for the classes OF freight to
which they applied. 1t was this fact
that led to Senator La Follett's
resolution. He declared that the
rates themselves as announced by
the railroads were sufficient evidence

Louisville, KY, May s1.--The
long hunt for Alma Kellner, who
was supposed to have been kid
naped, has changed now to a search
for her murderer Following the
finding of her body in the basement
of the Parochial school adjoining st.
Johns church, the police have been
seeking Joseph Vending, janitor OF
the buildings.
Vending, 1t is discovered, left
without notice January Is.
Mrs. Vending, who has been ar
rested following the finding in her
trunk of gold pin identified as
having belonged to Alma, was close
ly questioned today. The police say
that they do not think she was In
any way connected with the murder,
but they believe she can tell more
than she has already divulged.
The facts that she burned every
picture. of her husband she could
find, and that she washed blood
stains from his clothes, as she has
admitted, cause the police to believe
that there are still other things she
might tell them concerning the dis
appearance of her husband
The police are making every ef-
fort to find some trace Of Vending
they have questioned his wife close
ly about his disappearance but SO
far she has evaded their questions,
or answered them in such a way
that they can find no clew to her
husbands whereabouts.
Alma's body was frightfully mu-
tilated. Coroner Dupan, who has
begun an examination, says the
arms and legs we're pulled from
their sockets and that many of the
bones in the little girls body were
fractured.
The girls father has offered re-
ward Of $1,000 for the arrest and
conviction Of the murderer.
Mrs Vending was taken into the
city court today, where her prelimi-
nary hearing was continued until
