months. He laughed merrily when asked
If he was going to marry Miss Margaret

hunting. | also intend to do a great deal
O, studying in order to catch up at Har-

"I don't intend to think of marriage un-
til after 1 graduate from college. should
think that the papers ought to have
mora regard for the feelings OF MISS
Rutherford than to link her name with
mine in the stories of our doings.
When Colonel Roosevelt and his fam
ny we're in Paris the correspondents sent
a number OF dispatches to America telling
how Kermit was paying marked attention
to Miss Rutherford. According to these
stories they were constantly together
They danced together took automobile
rides through the city in each other
company, and saw a great deal of each
other. Kermit was accompanied by Con-
gressman w. W. Cocks of Oyster Bay.
Cocks had nothing to say
about the trip, but Kermit was emphatic
in his denials that he had any other
purpose save recreation In going abroad.

CANDIDATE MAY
HAVE TO REFUND

San Antonio, Tex. July 1o.-(special.)-- y
VIII Governor Campbell of Texas, lis
tening to the clamor of the prohibitions
lists, cause the legislature to investigate
the conduct in office of Railroad Com
missioner Colquitt, now running as anti
gubernatorial candidate In this state?
This is the question which is now being
asked all over Texas. That Governor
Campbell has the power to put Colquitt
on the gridiron nobody questions and
that he might want to do so few doubt
But there has to be taken into consider
alton the precedent which would thus
be established.
Mr.. Colquitt has during this summer
devoted great deal or time said to be-
long to his office as railroad commits
sioner, to what his enemies claim to be
his personal interest, namely stump
speaking. What is more, he has accepted
pay for this time and so laid himself
open to criticism. Should the legislature
be induced to take the matter up which
1t Is claimed to be ready to do, Mr.. Col
quit will have to answer for the money
end of the case and may be obliged to
refund part of the salary he has drawn
during the last four months. The mat
ter will come up before the special ses..
sion of the legislature which Governor
Campbell called few days ago for other
business and Is liable to result in the es-
tablishment of "a precedent that may
mean much in future campaigns in this
and other states

SEEK NEW CLASS ON
COMMODITY RATES

Spokane, Wash, July 10-(Special. y
Shippers and merchants in Spokane will
go before the interstate commerce com
mission at a hearing In Chicago to in
sist upon the issuance of a pre-emptory
order making the new class on commod-
ity rates on westbound shipments from
eastern points effective on October | or
November l, instead of permitting the
carriers to make the months of July.
August and September test period as
ordered by the commission on June %.
A. w. Doland, chairman of the inter-
state commerce committee of the Spo-
kane chamber of commerce, said in an
Interview today that while the new rates
from Chicago and Mississippi river points
are satisfactory, they do not cover all
the ground, adding:
Two strong points were gained by
Spokane One is that the present rates
are too high, the other that the 75 per
cent rate from eastern points TO the
Pacific coast and local rate back to
Spokane is Illegal. We believe, too, that
the railroads could have taken the three
months already passed to show the rev.
enues accruing on business actually
handled and the revenue which would
have accrued, had the rates prescribed
by the commission been In effect.

In the United States. The case, in which
the wives of two miners in the Coeur

before Judge Kelly at Wardner, more
than five years ago. The quarrel origi-
mated when one of the women alleged
that the others fence was on her ground
and arrest followed Judge Kelly like
Daniel come to judgment instructed
his constable to impanel a jury of II
women L. Whitsell. formerly an attor-
ney at Wardner. and Judge Parsons were
counsel in the case. which created lot
of merriment because of the utter lack
of knowledge by the women as to legal
terms and the duties of persons sitting
in jury. However, they returned ver-
diet, which is matter of record in the
annals of Shoshone county.
