The meeting was at a big liberal political reception given at Wimborne House. MT. and Mrs. Iver Churchill Guest were hosts at the recep- tion, which really was crush. The in- vitations read ito meet the prime min ister''

 Mrs. Asquith, who was formerly Margot Tennant, and once a central figure in a rather aesthetic set. went to the reception early and took a place by her husband s side and Mrs. Guest. Around them stood a group of cabinet ministers and other prominent liberal politicians. Everybody was very gay, or assumed to be, in the presence of their party supporters. Mrs. Asquith was all vivacity, beaming on every one presented to her, whom she for got the next moment, of course. Sud denly portly footman announced most distinctly, as he is trained to do:

 MT. and Mrs. Guest expressed their re- gret at the incident, but the Asquiths were irritable for the rest of the evening

FREIGHT RATES
 ARE NOT TOO HIGH

Washington, February 2s.-Denial is made by the interstate commerce commis sion in an opinion handed down today that the freight rates, both in class and commodity. to and from Montgomery, are unjustly discriminatory and unduly pref erential to Pensacola Fla, and Mobile and Birmingham.
 The case in which the decision was ren- dered was instituted by the Montgomery freight bureau against the Louisville and Nashville railroad and other railroads.
 The complaint alleges that the classes and commodities rates to Montgomery from various points and from Ohio and Mississippi river crossings were unjust and unreasonable in their relation to the rates from the same points to Mobile and Birmingham, Ala, and Pensacola Fla, and to the disadvantage of Montgomery.

 AGAIN TAKEN UP
IS BEING TRIED FOR THIRD TIME FOR KILLING OF JOHN M'LEAN IN A soUrHsIDE FURNITURE STORE

The trial of former Policeman w. T. Reynolds for the killing of John Nc Lean on South Twentieth street was taken up yesterday in the criminal court.
 Most of the day was taken up with the drawing of jurors for work in the diff ferent branches. of the criminal court dur ing the ensuing week, and little progress was made in the trial.
 This is the third trial of this case' which has attracted much attention by the re- markabIe legal points raised by the attor- neys. The first trial resulted in mis- trial the jury disasreeing as to Rey- holds sanity. The second trial resulted in q verdict of murder in the second de- gree. Then the counsel for the defense, Allen q Bell, raised the point that the fury law under which the case was tried vas unconstitutional. and asked for re- herring of the case. Judge Fort consid- cred the matter and granted the new trial. The case was taken before tho supreme court by Solicitor Hefin and Judge Forts ruling vas sustained.
 In the meentimo keyhoius waS erdnueu bail in tho sum of $500, which he made and was released. from the county jail Solicitor, HeAin took the matter up vigor- ously, which resulted in Reynolds rear rest being ordered. The bond had been granted under the plea that the second trial had resulted in . verdict of murder in the second degree. Holicitor Hehii
 contendsd that the jury law being de
