GRIFFITH, NEW NATIONAL

choice OF Clarke Grifith. who has been

Grifith has been signed for a

one man in the club, but not enough
TO control IL.

Los Angeles, Cal.-The question OF
the amount of bail which Mrs. Daisy
Turney Krauss, divorced wife of VIM.
Krauss, a prominent Memphis physi.
clan, must furnish to remain out OF
Jail while she is awaiting trial in the
superior court, was settled in Police
Judge Williams court Friday.
Though the district attorney con
tended that the present amount OF
$1,000 should be doubled, the judge
allowed it to stand.
According to a statement made in
the district attorneys office, the trial
of Mrs. Krauss will be one of the
biggest sensations of its kind in the
history Of the superior court. The dis.
trict attorney is setting aside one
week of the trial for the reading OF
letters which Mrs. Krauss wrote to
various men. The nature of the let.
tiers is said to be startling. In all
the district attorney has collected
900 letters, and the six days set aside
would not be sufficient time to read
them all.

Southern Cotton Oil Company Insti-

Washington, d. C.-By a decision OF
che interstate commerce commission
handed down Wednesday, it is not
lawful for interstate freight carriers
to advance the rates on shipments dur
ing the period of their Transports
ton. The decision was rendered In
two cases which were Joined in the
proceedings. The cases were insti
tuted by the Southern Cotton Oil Co,
against the Atlantic Coast Line and
against the Central of Georgia rail
way. Crude cotton seed oil was ship
ped into Savannah, Ga, Oh local rates

there refined and then reshipped on
the remainder of the through rates
from the several points of origin to
ultimate destinations. 1t happened
that between the inbound and out.
bound movements to and from Savan.
nah the rates were advanced on cot
ton seed oil 2 cents a hundred pounds.
The defendant lines thereupon ap'
piled to the outbound movements the

mission that the legal rates applicable

POSSE KILLS TWO.
Farmer Said to Have Been Cause OF
Triple Murder.

Farmer Said to Have Been Cause OF
Triple Murder.
Fort Meyers, Fla.-E. j. Watson, a
well-known farmer, and Wesley Cox,
an escaped convict under sentence for
murder, were riddled with bullets on
Tuesday night by a posse which went
to Chatham Bend Sunday to capture
the slayers of Miss Ellen Smith, A.
Waller and "Dutchy" Renolds, who
were killed ten days ago.
Watson, who is known as a desper-
ate character, reported the killing OF
the three persons at Fort Meyers last
Saturday. He claimed that he had
captured Cox and produced the lat
ter's coat and gun as evidence. He
was asked to produce the corpse and
to find this a posse accompanied him
to Chatham Bend.
Arriving there, Watson Joined Cox,
who was still alive, and put up a
desperate resistance before both were
riddled with bullets.
The murder of the two men and the
woman was committed by Cox and a
negro who is now in Jail here. He
confessed to the crime, declaring the
murder was done at the instance OF
Watson, who owed the three victims
money. Miss Smith, one of the vic
tins, was a unique character, being
of masculine proportions and living by
herself on the edge of the Everglades
She hunted and trapped and was

DEATH AND DESTRUCTION.
100 Lives Lost in Triple Disaster il
Mediterranean Sea.

Naples.-The beautiful coasts of the
bay of Naples and the gulf of Salerno
and the islands of Ischia and Procida
have been devastated by a peculiar
combination of the elements. The ex.
act number of victims has not been
learned, but 100 persons are said to
have been killed. The monetary loss
is great.
The disaster appears to have come
in the form of a cyclone having three
centers, the first over the island OF
Ischia, the second owe the town of
Tore del Greco, on the east coast OF
the bay of Naples, and the third
sweeping the gulf of Salerno.
Accompanying the cyclone were a
cloudburst, a tidal wave and violent
eruptions from Mount Vesuvius and
from a crater suddenly opened in the
summit of the l~ong-extinct Mount Ep.
omea, on the island of Ischia.

/ c. MIXED STATE
Under Courts Ruling Illinois In Fut'
ure Will Receive 100000 a
Year From Road.

Springfield, HIN deciding on the
| demurrer of the Illinois Central Raj
road Company to the suit Of the stan
| of Illinois to collect back taxes from
the railroad, the supreme court ruled
in favor of the state in all but utks
point.
The court holds that the Charts
agreement of 1851, under which tn
railroad was to pay the state Z per
cent Of its gross earnings, Is a con.
tract, and that the Z per cent is not q
tax in the legal sense. The court holds
that all interstate commerce business
of the road, as well as income from
eating houses, express business OF
charter lines as we'll as of trunk lines
form the principle on which the Z per
cent shall be paid to the state.
In the matter Of back taxes the
court holds against the state, which
sought to 0 its percentage since
1877. On this point the court says
that governors previous to Deneen &C.
cepted the accounts Of the railroad
and the payments made by the roads
without question and that the roads,
therefore, prior to 1905, are outlawed.
Under this ruling the SIS, 200, 900,
which the state sought from the ILL.
nois Central, dwindles, roughly esti.
mated, to about 81, 200, 000.
From 1905 the court lays down the
rule for accounting by which the state.
it is estimated, will receive $4,000, 200
evenue annually from the road, in.
stead of $1,000,000 or less, as at pres.
ent.
1t is the contention Of Gov Deneen
that for thirty-three years the rail
road has been milking the state
through its system of accounting for
gross earnings, on which it is requir-
ed, under its charter, to pay Z per
cent to the state in lieu of other taxes.
