Mother Conveyed $4,000
to Young Woman

Teresa Brunner. eldest daughter of
Louise Brunner and Herman Drummer,
principals in a sensational divorce ac-
tion pending in department four of the
superior court, was brought into the
action with Mrs. Brunner In an amend
ed cross complaint presented by Attor-
ney II. A. Massey and former Judge

ner is suing to secure the return of
about 100000 worth Of property from
his wife, alleging that as trustee of the

Judge Hutton, "this is merely sub
terfuge on the part of the attorneys for
the plaintiff to delay the proceedings.
QUICK ACTION
"The grounds on which we ask the
amendment may be stated in two min
utes. We claim that the daughter of
the nlaintiff has secured about $45, 900
worth of her fathers property by in
dorsement OF ber mother, and 1t will be
necessary to include her in the action

. wv ASHINGTON, May 31.-By a de-
w cislon of 4 to 8 the supreme
w court of the United States to-
day decided that the interstate COM
merce commission had not exceeded
its power in ordering the reduction OF
freight rates In the so-called Missouri
river rate cases and in the Denver
rate case.
These orders were held to be valid.
The Missouri river rate cases were
based on an order of the commission
reducing the feight rate between the
Mississippi and Missouri rivers, as a
part of through shipments originating
in the seaboard territory.
The Denver rate cases were based
on an order reducing the rates on
through freight from Chicago ana
from st. Louis to Denver.
In both cases certain railroads ana
shippers concerned claimed the COM
mission was endeavoring to divide the
country into rate zones. The c1rcult
court for the northern district OF lln-
nois decided the contention was cor
rect.
The supreme court of the United
States, in a decision announced by
Justice MeKenna, announced that II
believed the commission was not at
tempting to exercise such a power and
that the record showed no evidence
such was being done. Hence II re-
versed the decision of the district
court in both cases.
The cases have received the greatest
attention during the two years they
have been subject of litigation. The
government contends the very eXlS-
tence of through rates was at stake.
Counsel in the Missouri river rate
cases asked the court to give them
thirty days to file a petition for re-
hearing. Solicitor General Bowers OBJ
jected on the ground that such would
prevent the rate from going into ef-
feet before the court met next Oc-
tober Chief Justice Fuller directed
that the mandate of the court issue
in thirty days unless a petition for the
hearing was filed.
The court affirmed the Judgment of
the lower court in favor of the Atch-
ison, Topeka & Santa Fe company,
whose charter was also being threat
ened because il had removed a suit
from a state to a federal court.

COMMISSION TO INVESTIGATE
PURCHASE OF MOTORCYCLES

"I want a chance to vote against
the motorcycles. There is something
radically wrong there" said Commits
sioner c. o. Wellborn at the meeting
of the police commission last night,
and he voted to cancel thu requisition
drawn several weeks ago for two mo-
torcycles.
When the requisition was drawn it
called for one Indian and one Pierce
machine, but the supply committee of
the council ordered TWO Indians How
the change was made the commission
does not know, but Commissioner
Topham said last night that he could
produce witnesses who would say that
the motorcycle policemen had the last
say in the type of machine that would
be purchased.
Topham and Wellborn believe there
is something queer about the city's
motorcycle department and propose to
make an investigation and learn where
the trouble lies.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, May 1.-The
legislative investigation in which the
Sangamon county grand jury is en-
gagged took on a broader aspect today
and, several new angles were revealed

cation, and the official close of the daily

timony of Representative H. D.McCul-

chairman of the fish and game COM

members of the house who voted for
Lorimer for senator, and probably will
be closely questioned on the reasons he
had for forsaking the regular candidate
of his party.
b. f. Staymates, who is summoned
to appear tomorrow, also will be asked
why he left the supporters of the regu-
lar Democratic nominee and voted fol

Representative McCullom, the only
assemblyman questioned by the jurors
today, is from the Holtslaw district

INTERSTATE COMMISSION
MAKES IMPORTANT RULE
Railways and Shippers Interested
in New Decision

WASHINGTON, May 31.-In a com
paratively insignificant reparation
case the interstate commerce commits
sion today made q ruling of the
highest Importance to interstate rail-
ways and shippers.
1t held that g. connecting line receiv-
ing a shipment without instructions
may demand instructions from the in
itial carrier, but If instead of pursuing
that course 1t assumes responsibility
of routing it must accept the result
ing liability for increased charges that
may follow a mistake in selecting the
wrong route.
The case in which the opinion was
rendered becomes of peculiar I'M
portance because more difficulty is ex-
perienced by the commission and by
shippers through the misrouting of
freight than through any other COM
plants with which the commission has
to deal.

KANSAS CITY, May 31.-Federal

overruled the motion of the defense in
the bleached flour case to strike out
that part of the governments petition
charging misbrandlng.
The court then suggested that the
case be heard by a special master in

that at a former hearing of the case

attorneys might have time to discuss
the point of contention court was ad-
journed until 10 o'clock tomorrow

We cheerfully admit that the fur

backs. For instance, you can't very
well pop corn in either furnace or
a base burner. 1t took those old
fashioned stoves, in which we used to
burn a two-foot length of hickory
wood, for that sort of things. When
the wood had burned down to glow
ing Goals, we'd open the front door,
rake the Goals down in front and pro-
ced to pop corn. When we get rich
we are going to have one of these old
fashioned stoves put up in our room,
with lot of two-foot seasoned hickory
in the basement, and every now and
then we are going to start fire in
that stove, get good bed of Goals,
and then pop a dishpan full of corn,
just as a reminder of old days. OF
course, we'll eat the popcorn, not as
reminder of old days, but because
we are awfully fond of popcorn

Fought to Retain
Formula Which Has
Made a Fortune

l.. T. Cooper, the man who believes
that 80 per cent. of all i'll health. of
this generation is caused by stomach
trouble. is fast winning national faith
in his theory. His claim is now ad-
mitted by a surprising number of peo-
pie throughout the country, and he is
gaining new adherents every day.
While speaking of his success in
recent interview, Mr.. Cooper said: Il
believed ten years ago that any one
who could produce a formula that
would thoroughly regulate the stom-
ach would have fortune. When got
hold of this formula knew within six
months that / was right, and that my

sold like wildfire wherever introduced.
AS have said before, it is successful
simply because it puts the stomach
in perfect shape, then nature does
the rest. There are any number OF
complaints never before associated
with stomach trouble that the medi-
cine has alleviated in thousands of
cases."
Among statements obtained recent
ly from users of this medicine that Is
arousing such universal discussion is
one from Mrs. Emma Stanley, living in
Chicago, at 713 Washington Boule-
ward, who said: Perhaps / had the
most complicated case that Mr.. Cooper
had to deal with. I was troubled for

shape that I could not enjoy meal

and dancing spots before my eyes. I
felt very bad and weak. Then there
was very sore spot at the pit of my
stomach that nearly set me wild.

and decided to try it. / used four bot

II did not believe coffee caused my
trouble, and frequently said | liked
1t so we'll I would not, and could not
quit drinking it, but was a miserable
sufferer from heart trouble and nerv-
Gus prostration for four years.
Il was scarcely able to be around,

thing. Was emaciated and had con-
slant pain around my heart until /
thought l could not endure it. For
months never went to bed excepting
to get up in the morning. / felt as
though I was liable to die any time.
Frequently had nervous chills and
the least excitement would drive sleep
away, and any little noise would upset
me terribly. I was gradually getting
worse until finally one time it came
over me and asked myself what's the
use of being sick all the time and
buying medicine so that could in
dulge myself in coffee?
$50 thought would see II could
quit drinking coffee and got some
Postum to help me quit. l made it
strictly according to directions and l
