NEW YORK, feb. 24.--The trading

VICTORY FOR PEOPLE

AZ MOST IMPORTANT THING.
THEX HAVE ACCOMPLISHED.

WASHINGTON, y. ", Feb. 2i.--In
the decision of the Interstate Com
meree Commission prohibiting gem
eral raise in freight rates, the pro-
gresslves in Congress declared to- day
they had achieved their greatest VIC
tory for the people, and they We're
all smiles.
The decision was based on a sec
ton of the Interstate Commerce law,
pissed last year that placed the bur
den of proof that proposed rate
was unreasonable on the railroads. A
contention in behalf of the people
throughout the investigation before
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
was that the railroads had offered no
proof justifying an increase, but sim
ply announced that they needed no
more.
Senator Cummins, Republican, of
Iowa, who led in the work of maxi
ing over the railroad bill, originally
written by Attorney General Wicker
sham and submitted TO Congress by
President Taft, to-day said:
THE decision is very gratifying to
me and TO the people who use the
railroads. 1t Is marked evidence of
the wisdom. of some of the changes
in the railroad legislation of last
year
Senator Bristow. of Kansas. another
leader of the progressives, smiled

on the decision.

bloated. unwashed face and soiled
clothing, which plainly showed long
service. He was charged with steal
ing bread and milk. Like the major
ty OF DRINKS. he said whiskey was the
cause of 1t all and he did not know
how he came III possession of the
bread. He said he found the bottle
OF milk.
OFFICER Waymack stated that num-
erous complaints had been made from
residents along Decatur street that
milk left by the DAIRY wagons was
stolen from the porches. The police
have been on the lookout and Friday
morning Officer Mike Moore noticed
the queer actions of Caudle and fol-
lowed him down Decatur street for
two blocks. when the man was stop
ped by Officer Waymack. He had the
bottle OF milk on his person. Caude
