Washington. Aug. s.-Freight tariffs
which increase by . per cent the
charges for transportation of feeding
cattle and sheep between Missouri river
and Mississippi river transfers. includ-
ing Chicago were suspended today by
the interstate commerce commission
until December 8. 1911. The proposed
rates were filed with the commission
by the Minneapolis & st. Louis rail-
road and the Iowa Central railway eff
fective August 16. and by the Chicago,
Burling Oh & Quincy railroad effective
September l. 1t is probable other car
riers will file similar rates. which will
be suspended as they reach the COM
mission. For many wears freight tar
ifs filed by the railway between the
Missouri and Mississippi rivers have
provided that feeding cattle or stock
cattle might be shipped at IS per cent
If the rate charged on fat cattle. the
reason for the difference being that
the feeders are concentrated during
certain seasons at cattle markets for
sale to stock raisers and then are re-
shipped to the ranges TO be fattened-
On shipments OF this kind the rail-
way obtains three hauls of the same

1NsULTED American FLAG
Canadian Yankee Halter Burned One
in the Street.

Buffalo. \. 7. Aug. s.-A dispatch
from London. Ontario. says;
Thomas Midgeley. who prides him
self in the title Yankee Halter. last
night publicly burned the stars and
Stripes in the streets of the town Of
Woodstock. A few hours before some
one in a spirit Of mischief had nailed
an American flag above the door Of
his shop. When Midgeley saw the
flag he called his neighbOrs around
him and walking to the middle of the
street, lighted a fire and burned the
flag Then he scattered the ashes
about the street that the horses might
trample them under their feet
His action was aDplauded by a
large crowd. A local newspaper.
which IS strongly opposed to reciproc-
ity, refers TO Midgeley as a man whose
heart rings true with loyalty and
patriotism
American residents will bring the
incident to the attention Of the con-
sular authorities with the object OF
obtaining an apology from Midgeley.

have they been derelict in the en-
