the next two days attornys for the
twenty-five western railroads temper
arily restrained yesterday from ad-
yaneing freight rates by Judge David

an answer to the governments suit II
was announced tonight that an attor
ney for one OF the roads that Attcr-
ney General Wickershams petition Tor
a permanent injunction would be Bit
terly contested.
Ground for Fight.
The principal ground on which the
suit will be founght Is the contention
that there Is an agreement among
the railroads TO advance freight rates
in violation OF the Sherman law. II
any agreement at all Is admitted the
companies will contend that It ls ie-
gal In every respect and that II is ne
cessary. because OF present industrial
conditions, to protect the interests OF
the general public. The fact that
the railroads are members OF tho
western trunk line committee rall-
road officer said that II did not midi
cate that they were In any agree
ment because the schedule of rates,
promulgated by the western trunk
line committee. was not binding on
the different members without their
expressed concent.
II was stated at various railroad
headquarters that the enioined rates
might have been collected at distant
points today because resembling or.
ders had not had time to reach them.
Railroad officers, so far as they
could, obeyed the courts order, even
before service was made. They were
greatly surprised at the secrecy with
which the governments petition wa3
filed yesterday. but were unprepared
for action.

Officers said that most OF the RAN.
roads had anticipated the increased
revenue which the new rates would
bring and had planned extensive I'M
provements. which probably would ne

Bright Turn in Case for
"GOIden Rule" Chief.
WOMAN FAILS AS THE STAR
s7ed Light" Character Put on Stand
by Prosecution Doesn't Give the
Damaging Testimony Expected
Against the Accused Officer.
fBy Associated Press.l


CLEVELAND. OHIO, June 1.-The
Second dS3. of the trial of Chief OF
Police Fred Kohler, Cleyeland's
golden rule" chief, on charges OF
immortality, intoxication and insubor
Gination, was a decidedly bright one
tor the defense.
The prosecution put upon the stand
their star witness, a woman of the
red light" district who was expected
&c prove the more serious charges
Of immortality, which were brough,
against the chief. In substance all the
testimony that this woman gave. was
that she had once seen Kohler drink
:rg wine in a disorderly house.
The next most important witness
was Patrick J. Brown, former
policeman at Munice, Ind, and one oil
two men who signed the charges
against the accused official Brown
complained that on one occasion
when his automobile had been stolen
kohler had refused to listen to his
complaint and had ordered him out
of his Office. On cross-examination
he admitted that he had bet money
on the result of the trial and that
he had also made q bet of $50 in
January that he would get Kohler
yet"
Several witnesses testified to hav.
ing seen Chief kohler intoxicated on
different occasions, but the evidence
was contradictory and in certain of
the cases cause for animus was
shown.

Lara Defeated.

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. June 1.-The
dispatch received today a. the state
department from Captain Gilmer,
commanding the Paducah at Bluefeids.
IS the only information received by
the government of the recent engage
ment there. This dispatch, which was
dated yesterday, stated that General
Lara had been defeated by the
Estrada forces and was In full re.
treat with the remnants of his army,
numbering aboft 300 men.
With the exception of these 800
men. the only forces that Madriz has
on the east coast, as understood
kerc. is a detachment on BIuefieids
bluff, about six miles east of Blue
fields city, and a force estimated at
not exceeding LOCO men facing Gen
eral Mena, the Estrada commander,
at Rama.
Estradz's Strength.
II is pointed out that General
Estrada. with his victorious army,
could, without hinaerance. proceed to
Rama and so joining force with Gen
eral Mena, readily dispense the Mad
riz army in front Of the city.
The only feasible means of com
munIcation between Buefelds and
Kama is by way of the Escondido
river and II Is understood that the
banana vessels on the river are avail.
able for the transportation OF the
Estrada army to that point. II Is
also conjectGrcd that Genera Iara's
course Of retreat will probably be
Gown the coast to Monkey Point.
where he and his men might avoid
capture by boarding the Venus. but in
any event Il is believed here that the
evacuation Of the east coast Is the
only alternative open to Msdrsz 10

To Relieve Princeton.
Captain Gilmer has advised the
navy department that the Dubuque.
which yesterday landed a force OF
marines az Bl1e6elds from Colon. had
returned 20 Colon for coal and provis.
ions.

THE TRUTH ALWAYS.

When you are in doubt tell
the truth" 1t was an expert
enced old diplomat who said this
20 beginner in the work. 1t
may pass in some things, but
not in business. Fraud and de-
ception are often profitable SO
long as concealed; yet detection
is certain sooner or later; then
comes the smash-up and the
punishment. The best and safest
way is to tell the truth all tho
time. Thus you make friends
that stick by you, and a reputa-
zion that is always worth TWEEN
ty shillings to the pound every
where your goods are offered fer
sale. We are able modestly to
affirm, that it is on this basis
that the worldwide popularity Of
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
rests. The people have discov-
cred that this medicine is exact
ly what it is said to be, and
that it does what we have al
ways declared it viii do. Its ma
ture also has been frankly made
known. 1t is palatable as money
and contains all the curative
properties Of pure Cod Liver
Oil, extracted by us from fresh
cod liyers, combined with the
Compound Syrup Ct Hypophos-
phites and the Extracts of Malt

nation Of supreme excellence
