RIPLEY-DELANO- becomes a law. Under the new law the interstate commerce commission will pass on the increases before they become effective.
 The eastern trunk lines and those in the central section of the country will probably follow the example of the western trunk lines.
 President Taft's statement was as follows:
 "E. P. Ripley, president of the Atchi son, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway company; Walker D. Hines, acting chairman executive committee Atchi. son, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad company; Frederick A. Delano, presi. dent of the Wabash Railroad com. pany, and S. M. Felton, president ot the Chicago Great Western Railroad company, a committee representing the twenty-five railroad companies de fendant in suit brought by the gov. ernment in Missouri in which Judge Dyer granted an injunction restraining increases in rates, met the president and the attorney general today pur. suant to request sent to the presi- dent a few days since. | '"The president stated to these gen. t1emen at the outset that the purpose of the suit was to prevent the proposed i rate increases (which under the exist ing law could not be investigated at all until after they had become effec- tive) so as to preserve the status until the new statute could be passed and the committee should have the power to investigate rate advances as soon as announced and before becoming effec- tive He stated further that he thought the railroad companies must withdraw the tariffs enjoined and all other tar ifs filed by them effective on or after June 1, 1910, and that none of them ought to file any new tariffs involving rate advances until the new law should be passed, assuming that it would be passed at the present session of con- gress
 'After conference the railroad com panies announced that they would adopt the view expressed by the presi- dent, and thereupon the president stat ed that if they did so his purpose in bringing the suit would be accom- plished, and, such result being accom- plished, he saw no occasion for press ing the suit, and the same would be withdrawn" E
 The result of the conference be- tween MT. Taft and the railroad presi- dents is summarized as follows
 The twenty-five railroads of the mid dIe west involved in the federal gov ernment's injunction proceedings un- der the Sherman antitrust law will withdraw all increased freight rates that they have filed with the inter- state commerce commission since May 1, 1910, and will voluntarily submit them to the commission for ruling as to their reasonableness. These rail- roads also will refrain from filing any further advances until the pending ad- ministration railroad bill has become a law and the way has been opened for a legal investigation on the part of the interstate commerce commission into all rate increases.

ITS YOUR KIDNEYS
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your Troubles A Canaan Citizen Shows How to
 Cure Them.

Many people never suspect their kidneys. If suffering from lame, weak or aching back they think that it is only muscular weakness; when urinary trouble sets in they think it will soon correct itself. And so it is with all the other symptoms of kidney disorders. That is just where the danger lies. You must cure these troubles or they may lead to diabetes or Bright's disease. The best remedy to use is Doan's Kidney Pills. It cures all ills which are caused by weak or diseased kidneys. Canaan people testify to permanent cures.
 Mrs. John Mansfield, Reed St.. Canaan, Conn.,, says: "A few minutes ago, I was troubled by swelling of my feet and ankles. became tired easily and often found it hard to get around. In a short time after using Doan's Kidney Pills, the dropsical swelling had dis appeared and felt much better. l found Doan's Kidney Pills to act as represented and I, therefore. take pleasure in recommending them to other kidney sufferers.

FREIGHT RATE FIGHT
 TEMPORARILY ENDS
Railroad Presidents Promise to
 Postpone Increases.

Shippers everywhere are interestedly discussing the statement issued by President Taft following his confer ence with railroad presidents concern ing the governments action in secur- ing an injunction to prevent the pro- posed June increase in freight rates by twenty-five western railroads.
 They cannot understand why Presi- dent Taft declares in effect that the purpose of the suit against the western trunk lines was to prevent the in- creases in rate until the new admins. tration railroad law goes into effect and not with the idea of the enforce ment of the Sherman antitrust act, when the papers filed by Attorney General Wickersham specifically charge the railroads with violation of the Sherman law.
 The conference with President Taft resulted in an agreement by the west ern trunk lines to withdraw all in- creased rates that have gone into effect since June 1 and to withhold all other increases until the new railroad bill

OFFERING FORTUNES TO AIR V0YAGERS
Big Prizes to Be Won by City
 to City Flights.

Following so closely upon the won- son from Albany to New York, the feat of Charles Stuart Rolls, the English aviator, in crossing the English chan ner to France and returning again has encouraged the air pilots who are as- sembled in New York in their belief that the fortune in prizes offered for aerial voyages between New York and other cities will be claimed sooner than the most sanguine enthusiasts have so far predicted.
 Among the big prizes offered and ar- ranged for are:
 Thirty thousand dollars offered by New York World and St. Louis Post Dispatch for New York to St. Louis flight distance, 1,054 miles.
 Twenty-Five thousand dollars offered by New York Times and Chicago Eve ming Post for New York-Chicago flight, 90S miles.
 Twenty thousand dollars being raised by Washington chamber of commerce and Aero club for Washington to New York flight, 225 miles. Forty thousand dollars proposed purse for triangular race from Indian apolis to St. Louis to Chicago and back to Indianapolis.
 Ten thousand dollars being raised by Governor Hadley of Missouri for flight from St. Louis to Kansas City, 25O | miles.
 A number of noted aviators are pre- pairing to compete for these prizes, and it is believed that within a short | time there will be a swarm of flying machines in flight between New York and the other large cities which have offered prizes.
 l Starting from Dover, Charles Stuart Rolls, the English aviator, on June Z | flew across the English channel to a point near Sangatte, France, then start. ! ed on the return trip and landed in l Dover.
 Rolls is the third aviator to cross the channel in an aeroplane. l The distance across the channel is l twenty-one miles, so Captain Rolls ac. complished an over water flight ot forty-two miles, making a new record for this particularly dangerous coast.

JOHNSON-RICKARD heavyweight championship fight which is to take place in San Francisco on July 4.
 q believe it's frameup," he re- peated. "There was no chance to get Jeffries in the ring again, in my opinion, unless he was assured in ad- vance of victory. Jeffries doesn't need the money, and. while he may be patriotic and willing to bear the white mans burden,' he has too much to lose in prestige to take chance on defeat. On the other hand, Johnson has very little to lose. He needs the money, and I think he has arranged to get it.
 'I am not going to interfere. The law permits these bouts, the board of supervisors has granted permit, and that ends 1t so far as I am con- cerned."

Taft Administration Takes Up Fight Against Increased Railroad Rates.

Taft Administration Takes Up Fight
 Against Increased Railroad Rates.
 Acting under instructions from Pres ident Taft, Attorney General Wicker sham has secured an injunction from the United States circuit court of east ern Missouri restraining twenty-five western railroads from putting into effect the increased freight rates an nounced for June 1.
 While western shippers are jubilant over the fact that the government has taken hand with them in the fight against the proposed sweeping advance in railroad freight rates, it is the gen. eral opinion among eastern shippers that the outcome of the struggle will have an important bearing upon dis putes with railroads east of the Mis- sissippi as we'll as west of that river. For that reason eastern shippers are watching the proceedings with the live. Hest interest. Eastern railroad mana. gers are expected to give the western lines all the support in their power un- til the end of the clash. ..e
 That the railroads will fight the suit to the last ditch is indicated by state. ments already made by high officers of the companies. B. P. Ripley, president of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, declared in Chicago that the shippers who had joined in the protest against the proposed increased rates had been deceived by the ringleaders, who dis torted the facts and juggled with the fipI1rps .E r...r-

BANK NOTE TRUST"
 SUED FOR s5,OOO,OOO
New York Stock Exchange Is
 Involved In Dispute.

A suit for $5,O0O,0O0 has been filed .n the United States circuit court by the New York Bank Note company against Ransom H. Thomas individ- ually and as president of the New York Stock Exchange, HOO members of the New York Stock Exchange, George W. Ely, its secretary, and the American Bank Note company, reor- ganized in 1906 as the United Bank Note corporation and commonly known throughout the world as the bank note trust. ...
 J. Pierpont Morgan, Captain J. R. De Lamar, Edmund c. Converse and William Nelson Cromwell are known within the bank note trust as the "big four" Together they admit holding 28,648 shares at a par value of nearly $1,5O0,00O, or about one-fourth of the entire issued capital stock of the cor poration. How much additional stock they are carrying in the names of dummies" is their own secret.
 The New York Bank Note company claims that the United Bank Note cor poration, with the aid of powerful in- f1uences in the financial world, has been able to corner business. and crowd out competition.
 < Alvan O. Cass, the lawyer who drew the complaint, when asked by re- porter for a precedent to the extraor- dinary litigation which he has insti- tuted said: "Our case is based upon the theory that where there Is a a'wrong there must be remedy. This suit con- sists chiefly in filing with the court a record of grievous wrong in the hope that the court may discover and en- force the remedy" .-

stream Guards.
Possibly the most remarkable crea-
ture ever attached to a regiment was
Peter. the ever famous goose of the
Coldstream guards. This curious pet
was presented to the ColdStreamrrs
when they were in Canada by the la, e
Hon. Adolphus Graves. and soon it ac-
G hired a fame which eclipsed that Of
all rivals in the way of pets in the
army
When the guard was mounted of a
morning Peter always marched Off
with them. II is recorded that one
night the g,lse saved sentry's life
by flying in tire face OF rebel who
was just going 10 fire at the soldier.
Peters timely aid disconnected the
rebel, who fired at random. The SEN
try Immediately responded by shoot
ing the rebel dead.
When the guards came home and
were quartered in London one of the
sights when the regiment marched
out was to see Peter strutting at the
head Of the battalion till they passed
the barrack gate. when the goose re-
turned. Unhappily Peters fate was
unheroic His end was i'll in accord
with his martial career, for he was
run over and killed by a cab, and that
