Minneapolis, Mimi, Aug. 31.-The
Western railroads, according to an
nouncement made here today, will
put into effect on Oct. 6 rate on

lake and rail- of 2119 cents a hundred
pounds, while the all-rail rate will
stand at rs cents.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion was asked three years ago to
make the differential greater than 2
cents as then fixed by the railroads,
but held that the arrangement was
equitable.
The two.cent differential has exist
ed since 1908. The Great Northern
& Northern Pacific recently announc-
ed that the proportional rate from
Minneapolis to Duluth. which was SIS
cents hundred, should be reduced to
5 cents and even that small change
affected the boat lines so seriously

portation for the lake lines, came at
once to Buffalo to protest against the
order. Since then the millers and
railroad officials of Minneapolis have
been working to effect the desired
change

A NEGRO coUNTERFElTER
One Of the Most Expert In the His
tory Of the Country

Washington, Sept. "A wavering
red line across a street map OF the
city of Memphis, Tenn, on the wall
at secret service headquarters in
Washington, records the story OF
FIVE years hunt for counterfeiter Of
silver dollars which reached its eli
max in Memphis Wednesday with
the arrest of John G. Payne, negro,
and his wife For more than five
years the dollars which Payne Is
char sed with making have been pass
ing through the banks in Memphis
and some have even reached the sub
treasury. They were accounted
among the most dangerous counter
feits with which the government has
had to deal. All the resources OF the
secret service failed TO turn up clew
as to their source.
Three months ago Assistant Chief
| w. II. Moran, the governments crack
man on difficult cases, sent "Bill'
Nye also one of the flower OF the ser
vice, TO Memphis. A few weeks lat
err at negro emancipation celebra-
ton at Paducah, Ky, Nye picked the
first information which led to the
Identification OF Payne as the man
alleged TO have been passing the dan.
gerous counterfeits. Nye followed
Payne back to Memphis, consulted
with Moran. and the two men laid out
campaign. Then, almost inch by
inch, Nye began picking tran
through the streets of Memphis to
Pa, aes' house. Every day Moran IN
Washington, with a pen and red INK,
recorded the progress OF Nyes
search upon a map OF the city Oh
Memphis. A few days ago the thin
red line came to an end In the sub.
urbs of Memphis, eight miles from
the heart OF the city. 1t stopped IN
front of an isolated farmhouse, sur
rounded by q high board fence when
made II impossible for Nye to see
In the windows.
Wednesday Moran flashed mes.
sage over the wires to Memphis ana
a few hours later Nye reported the
arrest of Payne and his wife, as well
as his capture OF several OF the coun
terfeit coins, the outfit for making
them and the genuine dollars from
which the molds were made. On the
counterfelts have been peculiar little
dents and scratches. Nye reported
THAT he found them In the genuine
coins he took in the raid Moran
says that proves that the molds from
which the coins were made were SO
perfect that they even reproduced the
scratches and hicks Of the genuine
lcoins.
