REDUCTION IN FLOUR RATE
Cut is in Tariff Between Minneapolis
and Atlantic Seabosrd.
LINES AFFECTED
Action IL the Result of a Pro-
test Filled BY Forty MIIIers of
Minnesota and the Two
Dakotas.

WASHINGTON, March 3s.-,rhe Inter
stote Commerce commission today ordered
the lake and railroad rates on flour from
Minneapolis, Mimi. to New York City and
the Atlantic seaboard reduced from % cents
per 100 pounds TO 2lh cents, beginning
May 10.
This decides the famous case of the
northwestern millers against the twenty
nine rail and lake lines In favor Of the
millers. The new schedule Of rates is or
dered to be effective for two years from
the date It goes into effect.
The complainants were some forty mill
ers operating more than one hundred flour
mills in the states Of Wisconsin, Mime
sota, North Dakota and South Dakota,
with daily capacity Of about 1850 bar
rels. The defendent carriers were all the
railroads and water lines which carry flour
from Minneapolis and Duluth to the Allan
tic seaboard territory.
The mlllers complained that the rate Of
2S cents was unreasonable and was a dis
elimination against Minneapolis and the
northwest in favor Of the millers at Buff
faio, as compared with the all-rai rate
east from Buffalo as applied by the same
carriers to the same points of destination
in making the decision, which was writ
ten by Commissioner Clark, the commits
sion reviews the gradual absorption Of the
great lakes transportation lines by the
railroads, compares the differences in rates
on flour and wheat and orders the reduc-
ton to 2lh cents.
The commission in its findings saw no
reason for disturbing the present Min
neapolis- Duluth differential.

for analysis. The latter, in a report to the
coroner which was suppressed until today,
stated that the meat contained enough
arsenic to have killed half a dozen persons.
The kidneys, heart and stomach of the
decedent, according to the coroner, also
showed pronounced traces Of the poison.
Coroner Hoffman is a personal friend of
the Moody family and the next day, Mon
day, learning Of Mr.. Moodys demise,
visited the bereaved household with the
idea, he declares, that he might save the
family the notoriety Of post mortem.
Things did not look quite right" related
Mr., Hoffman today, 'Mr. Moody had been
q well man and there he lay dead. /
doubted the ptomaine poisoning theory, as
the meat, owing to the bitter cold, had been
frozen in the ice box called in the city
physician, DR.. H. G.. w. Reinhardt, and
held post morten1 investigation, resulting
in the discovery Of what looked like traces
Of arsenic. Analysis by DR.. Haynes later
proved this to be oorreet."e
Three weeks elapsed before the chemist
made his official report. Then a private
inqust was held, the testimony being rec
orded by shorthand reporter.
Mrs. Moody was closely questioned as to
the details of her husbands death. Her
story was in substance as hereintofore

Detectives ON Case.
Meanwhile detectives kept close watch on
all who might possibly shed light on the
mystery An officer is still at st. Charles,
Ill.,, where the Moody farm is located. Peter
Peterson, also known as Peter Reilly, who
has been in the employ Of the Moody house
hold for fifteen years as coachman, farm
manager and general adviser, is said at
present to be at st. Charles, He had a
room at the Moody residence and was re-
garded In the light of a friend of both Mr..
and Mrs. Moody.
A year ago Mr. Moody is said to have
narrowly escaped poisoning. Mrs Moody
was absent from the city on a visit and
at noon one day, the maid, among other
things, served soup The servant who had
previously tasted It, was later seized with
cramps. Mr., Moody merely tasted the
dish then pushed It from him, declaring
that 1t burned his stomach. He tardily ad-
vised the girl not 10 touch 1t. Peterson,
or Reilly, was then at the house, but left
the premises before the meal, returning
some time later, according to Miss Hart
wick. Peterson is said to be a well built
man OF neat appearance and TO have ac-
cumulated considerable money.
Mrs. Moody refused to talk with report
ers today, referring them to James L.
Bynum the-attorney, who attended to the
settling of the Moody estates. Mr. Bynum
laughed at one questioner, who inquired If
a check for $4,000 drawn by Mr.. Moody
and destined for Kansas City had not dis
appeared at about the time Of Mr.. Moody's
death.
Nothing to IT," declared the lawyer.
MI Moody is said to have carried an
insurance policy for $4,000 In favor of his
wife. Her maiden name was Anne Olson
and she was married TO the decedent
twenty-five years ago.
