REARGUMENT IN MISSOURI CASE
 IS ORDERED.
Supreme Court of the United States Will Hear Burlington Con
 troVersy Again.

Washington, April 11.--Reargumen
 of the Missouri 2-cent and maximum freight rate cases was ordered by the |supreme court of the United States. A motion to this effect was filed with the court in March, but it was not al flowed at the time. While the entire Missouri rate controversy is involved
 in the decision of the court on the question, the case in point is a combi- nation of the passenger and maximum freight rates passed by the 1907 legis- lature in an appeal in the Burlington railway suit only.
 At the time the case was argued by Attorney General E. w. Major of Mis- souri and the Burlington attorneys,
 the latter filed motion to defer argu-
 ments until the two vacancies on the
 bench, which existed at the time, were filled by appointment of the president. This motion was refused by the court, and the case was argued on appeal from the decision of Judge Smith Me
 Pherson, in which h. held that the
 rates established in the Missouri law were conhscatory. and suggested a l2t2-cent rate per mile
 Shortly before March 20 Attorney General Major received notice that, since the two vacancies had been filled, the railway attorneys would, on
 that date, ask reargument. At the
 time it was thought the court had re- fused the motion of the railroad The
 order of the court will mean that the
 case will have to be reargued before the entire court.

Mitchell, H., April 11-"Honest Mike" Link, the third Democratic leg islator in Illinois to admit he had accepted an $1,S0O bribe to vote for William Lorimer for United States senator, was found dead in the bath room of his home, near here. His wife discovered his sudden death when she opened the bathroom door Ut a. m.
 At first it was believed hc was seized with sudden coughing attack, which resulted in strangulation, as his face was almost blue. Dr. E. W. Figenbaum, who was called in, pro- nounced death due to apopleXy.
 Although Mrs. Link believes her husband died a natural death, she di- rected Deputy Coroner Ed Mercer of Granite City to hold an inquest.
 Attended Jack Pot Conference. Madison county, Link visited the Southern hotel in St Louis and at tended the famous jack pot confer. ence of legislators in the bath room. Immediately after Representative White made a signed confession, which opened the bribery charges against Lorimer, Link was summoned to Chicago, where he turned states evidence by confessing to States At torney Wayman.
 Links participation in the Lorimer jack pot apparently never troubled him after his expose, although he had been elected to the legislature princi- pally or his being known in his dis trict as Honest Mike"
 Link twice visited Mitchell, a mile from his home, Sunday. He talked with C. w. Smith, chairman of the Madison county board of supervisors, who said Link appeared in jovial spr its and expressed himself as never ceiling better in his life"

 At his home Sunday evening LinS chatted good naturedly with Mrs Link They retired early. Mrs. Link awoke at o'clock and saw her husband was not in bed. She waited few minutes for his return. Then she ieaped out of bed and started to investigate. Her first thought was of the bathroom. As she opened the door she saw her hus- band seated in the bathroom, with his head lying on his crossed arms, which rested on his knees.
 Mike" she called.
 There was no answer.
 Wake up. Mike cried Mrs. Link, advancing and shaking her husband s shoulder. Then she lifted his head. "Dead!" she exclaimed in hei fright Her screams awakened servants. who rushed to her assistance. q heard Mir. Link coughing in the bathroom at midnight sail q maid called Big Mary" Tt sounded as if he were ctoking."
 Blood in the bathtub led Mrs Link to believe her husband had eXpeeto- rated there while coughing.
 Links face was blue, indicating ne had choked to death.
 Mrs. Link had the servants te'2- phone to Dr. E. w. Figenbauh a Ed wardsville, eight miles east, who re- ported the death to the anti critics. Then she telephoned Deputy Coroner Ed Mercer of Granite City.
 Link weighed from 25e to 2i9 hounds. His brother, George Lick.
