In what are known as the Spokane
Reno-Pacific coast cases the interstate
| commerce commission ordered mate
rial reductions in freight rates from
the East to points between Denver
| and the western terminals of the great
transcontinental railroads. For many
years the railroads have exacted
from shippers to intermediate points,
such as Spokane and Reno, higher
rates on eastern freights than we're
charged for the much longer hauls to
| Seattle, San Francisco and other Pa
cific coast points.

Search for Missing Girl.

New York, July 26.-With a reward
of 1000 to spur them Oh private de-
tectives started out to aid the regular
city police In the search for nineteen
year.old Louise Swan. missing from
her home since July 10, Inspector
Hughes of the detective bureau has
detailed a squad OF picked men on
the case.
A Unique Comment.
An illiterate Irishman had just been
convicted of cold blooded murder, and
the death sentence was about to be-
pronounced upon him. All through
the trial he had shown little interest
in what had been going on. had not
seemed to realize any Of the proceed
ings and had not opened his mouth to
any one but his counsel.
To pass sentence upon him the court
ordered him to stand. He stood, blink
ing at those around him.
"Have you anything to say" droned
the Judge impressively, "why the SEN
tence Of death should not be pro-
nounced upon you at this time"
Whereupon the Irishman whispered
to his counsel, who was standing by:
"Ain't he th' gloomy divil!"
A Gink.
"Father." asked the boy. "what is q
gink?"
II have only a vague idea, my son."
said Professor Goozie. "but I presume
a gink is a guy or a geezer or some
thing NJ fhot kind raiso1 IN tho nth

CONGRESSIONAL DoINGs.

Former Senator Nelson w. Aldrich
of Rhode Island told the senate Lori
mer committee of the part he and
President Taft took in the election of
a senator from Illinois in 1909. In
stead of telling Edward Hines of Chi
cago, the storm center in the present
Lorimer investigation, that he and the
president were anxious to have Lori
mer elected, Mr.. Aldrich declared that
he said Lorimer's candidacy was mot
Objectionable" MI. Aldrich also de-
MED he had told Hines that he con-
sidered Lorimer the only mar who
could be elected.
Attorney General Wickersham, be-
fore the house judiciary committee,
denounced as an absolute falsehood
the charge recently made before that
committee by Delegate Wickersham
of Alaska that the attorney general
"purposely did shield and defend the
Alaska syndicate criminals from
crimes against the government in in
stances wherein l personally gave him
the evidence which would justify him
in finding indictments"
Assailing the press of the United
States for it's support of the Canadian
reciprocity bill, Senator La Toilette of
Wisconsin made his closing speech
against the bill in the senate. He
expressed the belief that newspapers
would suffer in loss of influence for
the support they have given to legis-
lation in which, he said, they have
a direct money interest"
Edward Hines of Chicago caused a
sensation by t%estifying before the sen-
ate Lorimer committee that Represen-
tative Henry S. Boutell of Illinois,
now American minister to Switzer-
land, told him that President Taft re-
garded Lorimer as an acceptable sem
atorial candidate. was anxious to have
to assist in his election.
The Canadian reciprocity bill passed
the senate without amendment by So
to 81. All amendments had been pre-
viously defeated by decisive MAORI
ties. An analysis of the vote shows
that t%wenty-four Republicans voted
against the bill and twenty-one in ia
vor of it. Three Democrats voted
against and thirty-two in favor.

Moore, chief of the weather bureau.
by James Bury, a former employee of
the bureau, to the effect that money

penditures in the department of agri-
culture.
Senator Clapp, chairman Of the com
mittee on interstate commerce, which
