Under the new rules where 0 through freight crew is required to set out or pickup cars at po.nts be- tween terminals and is so engaged as much as two hours over and above the regular schedule of the train the crew is to receive local freight service pay for the run.

 To Supply Chooses.
 Another very important rule which is for the first time incorporated in the agreement is that which relieves the trainmen of the necessity of SUD- plying their own cabooses at termin- als. Under the old plan trainmen were required to load hteir own SUD- plies, and this made it necessary for them to lose considerable sleep in order to get their cabooses spotted for supply.
 Under the new rule the trainmen turn over to the yardmaster requis- ition for such supplies as are needed On the caboose and when the crew is called again the caboose $ stock ed with articles ordered.
 The men are greatly pleased with the new schedule and rules. The cop ies for the men are on the way to Little Rock now and will reach here by Monday, it is thought The local chairman of the office of the superin- tendent will furnish each tra nman a copy of the schedule for information and guidance.

MONUMENT FOR
 S0UTH'S WOMEN Bill of Representative Bar ker Carries an Appropria-
 tion of $1O,OOO.
REV. LUCEY MEMBER
Of Committee t0 Handle the Work Confederate Veterans Ask
 cd For It.

Little Rocla Ark, Jan. 2o.--sev- eral features enlivened the session of the House this morning, among them being a resolution by Mr. Grant of Jackson, calling for an investiga- ton to determine whether or not fer tiizer companies doing business in the state are complying with the law. Another important feature was the introduction of a bill providing for a monument to the women of the Con- federacy, and the morning session closed with a spicy debate over an alleged change in the old House rules increasing the number of pages from s to il.
 MT. Barker of Drew county intro- duced the bill providing for the erec- tion of monument to the women of the Confederacy, and also for me- morial to the United Confederate vet erans, the work to be done, in a gen. eral way, under the direction of the Arkansas division of the U. c. V., rep resented by a committee composed of ex-Gov. Dan w. Jones, Father J. M. Lucey, of Pine Bluff, Gen. V. Y. Cook, of Batesville, Judge c. T. Coffin of Batesville, Gen. Johnathan Kellogg of Little Rock and Gen. James F. Smith commander of the Arkansas division, United Confederate Veterans.
 This bill is in accordance with a resolution twice adopted by the Ark ansas division of the United Confed- crate Veterans. It carried an appro- priaton of $1N000 to defray the ex- penses of the work, and Empowers the governor of the state to designate the place on the state capitol grounds where the monument shall be erected. The biIl was read twice, and MT. Bar- ker will urge it's speedy passage.
 Fight Over Rules.
 MT. Lackey sent up resolution asking that the speaker appoint the three additional pages provided for in the amnded rules as adopted by the House last Monday.
 Several members were on their feet at once, declaring that they did not know that any such increase had been made in the force of pages, and MT. Glover of Hot Spring, a member of fhn r,t1nc onropoifkon fnH40AnA that there was no such increase sug- gested by the committee at the meet ing attended by him, and that The didn't see how the change got into the rules" Other members quee- toned the change being in the report at the time it was read for adoption in the House but an Examination of the record found that it was there at the time, and that the section provid- ing for the increase had been regular ly adopted by the House.
 MT. Going, chairman of the commit tee, explained that 1t was purely op- tional matter with the speaker as to whether or not the extra pages were appointed; that he regarded the change as more in the nature of res- olution than otherw SC, and that 1t was not in any sense mandatory on the speaker to make the appointment. Speaker Milwee then stated that, as the House appeared to be against any increase in the number of pages, he would make no additional appoint ments of this kind

JURORS DRANK
 SUGAR OF LEAD Twelve Took Poison and So Did Attorneys in the
 Schenk Case.
AND NONE ARE DYING
Dramatic Scene in Court Room al Wheeling YeS.erday-JurOrS
 Getting Tired.
International News Special

Wheeling, w. Va, Jan. 20.-One of the most dramatic scenes ever Wit messed in a court room was staged here this afternoon in the trial of Mrs. Laura Farnsworth Schenk, accus- ed of poisoning her millionaire hus- band, the actors being the twelve jur- ors, the lawyers who are defending her and the prosecutor who is trying to send her to prison. Each of them took poison. At first hesitatingly; then with a spirit of ''I can do it if others can.' seventeen men drank wa ter containing sugar of lead in the same proport On that is alleged John o. Schenk received There were the twelve members of the jury, Attorneys Joseph and Frank O'Brien and Sam
 lel Boyca of the defense, Dr. J. J. Osborne, the defenses expert, and lastly, Prosecutor Handlan.
 At the present writing none of them are dead and none of them seemed to suffer from the effects of the drug. Dr. Osborne was called by the defense yesterday and asserted that in his opinion John Schenk was not poisoned by either sugar of lead or Fowler's solution of arsenic. The states ex- perts swore that he was by both. He was instructed to bring with him to- day vial of sugar of lead and bot tie of distilled water. He did and mixed them in the proportion of sev- en grains of lead to one ounce of wa ter, the other experts having said that was what the millionaire took.
 ''Dr would you feel safe in drink ing that mixture yoursef?" asked the lawyer for Mrs. Schenk.
 Certainly so, I will now drink some,' said Dr. Osborne, pouring out generaus spoonful and swallowing , it.
 The jurors wide-eyed and open mouthed stared at him as though ex- pCSC.A6 A1u CO InlI ucdO at ally IuO- ment. But he did not. He merely 'shifted one leg over the other and smiled. ''I'll take some' said Attor- ney Joseph O'Brien head counsel for Mrs. Schenk He did. His brother, Frank, took spoonful. Then Sam Boyce followed suit, remarking after taking his dose: '.Dr pass the medi- cine to the gentlemen of the jury.'' The foreman gave a look which might be described as agonizing, then smell ed the mixture that was passed to him. But he was game and downed it. Then the other eleven had to do the same and at last Prosecutor Handlan, seeing no corpses strewing the courtroom floor, took a shot him. self.
 Really the test didn't amount to anything. Those who drank the solu- tion got only a fraction of grain. but they took it like tragedy and it cer- tainly looked stirring enough and it probably had it's effect before the jury. That was the most interesting thing of the case
 In the first place the jurors sent a committee of three to Judge Jordan to complain that they had been locked up for two weeks and did not want to spend life terms listening to the dull experts. They wanted night sessions of the court to hurry matters up. The judge agreed and so there were morn ing, afternoon and evening sessions today. The night session Was taken up by the defense's witnesses.

ITO make q raiEe in the minimums

would discourage q great industry to

protests Of all the stock shippers and
all the packers Of the state. who made
any appearance before the board: and
1t would not be justified by the con-
ditions surrounding the actual traffic

Therefore It Is our conclusion that
there should be no substa ntial raise

evidence nor. argument was offered
against the change as to cars contain
I ing horses and mules. and rule No. s5

harmony with these conclusions an Or
der will be made prescribing the fol-
lowing minimum weights. in pounds. on
live stock cars: Fat cattle, $4,000;
stock cattle. 10000; hogs, $4,000;
sheep-single deck, 10000; double
deck. 10000.
These minimum weights will gov
ern regardless of size Of cars ordered
or furnished-except as to shipments
Of fat cattle. Minimum weights pro-
vided for fat cattle will apply to cars
thirty-six feet long or over, inside
measurements: on cars ordered or fur
nished Of shorter lenghth. the mini
mum weight will be 10000 pounds"
