IMPORTANT DECISION WADE
BY COMM ERCE COMMISSION

Washington, March 26.-The Inter-
state Commerce commission, in an
opinion made public Saturday, estab-
lished the far reaching principle that n
railroad must so adjust it's rates that
justice will be lone between commune
ties regardless of state lines. If a rail-
road makes a low rate upon traffic
wholly within a state, even when forced
to do so by a state commission, Ii must
accord the same rate to interstate traf-
tc moving under substantially similar
conditions.
The principle was laid down by a
vote Of four to three. The. minority
held that the powers of congress were
usurped by the majority opinion and
that the remedy for such a situation
should be applied through additional
legislation. The case Is the railroad
commission Of Louisiana against the st.
Louis and Southwestern railway and
other carriers operating between Louis
lana and Texas.
Tho case practically precipitated Il
conflict between federal and state au-
thority over the control of interstate
traffic. The opinion of the majority of
the Interstate Commerce commission
prepared and handed down by Commits
sioner Lane is a definite assertion of
the supremacy of rational regulatory
authority over the powers exercised by
any state. 1t IL the first time this as
sertion has been made distinctly by the
commission. In making II Chairman
Prouty and Commissioners Clark and
Meyer concurr with Commissioner
Lane and Commissioners Clements,
Harlan and McChord Cassented.

four LEADERS STILL
Fleeing FROM POSSE
Sidna Allen Says That He Was
in No Way Connected
With the Murders.

Hillsville, Va, March 25.-No further
captures had been reported early to-
day by the posses endeavoring to round
up the Allen fugitives on the North
Carolina border. The arrest Of young
Sidna Edwards yesterday, left four Of
the wanted at large-Sidna Allen, the
clan leader, who Is supposed to have
fired the shot that killed Judge Massie
and his ncphews, Wesley. Edwards and
Friel and Calude Allen. The massing OF
the hundred or more searcher. about
the hills south Of this place indicates
that the officers believe the outlaws are
still secreted in hat vicinity.
Sidna Edwards, who was found
alone, unarmed and hungry in a desert
ed mountain house, insists that he IN S
not seen his uncles OIL cousins since the
day of the court house tragedy. He
says he had no part in the shooting;
thai he went to the court house and
later took to the mountains, only be-
cause he heard the posses intended to
shoot on sight any members of his
family.
Worn by hunger, fatigue end the pain
of a scalded foot, Edwards slept last
night in the Jail here with two men
standing guard. He will be taken to
Roanoke today.
There is much talk Of the reported
offer of Sidna Allen and his nephews
to surrender on condition hat they be
allowed to plead guilty to murder In
the second degree in a court outside OF
Carroll county. Governor Mann says
If such a proposition a been made to
the detectives he knows nothing OF

STEPHENSON VOTE
WILL BE- DELAYED
Opening of Speeches in the
Senate Today May Defer
Final Action Several
Days.

Washington, March 26.-The real
battle in the Senate chamber over the
question of the right of Senator Steph-
enson, Of Wisconsin. to his seat. opened
today with the first of a program of
speeches that may hold back a fina
vote until the middle of the week. The
Senate Is under requirement, by spe-
cial order passed several weeks ago,
to vote on this Legislative day." but
this parliamentary phrase may cover
any number Of days.
The case is one Of the two in which
republican senator's have been under
fire for alleged use OF corruption funds
in the work that brought about their
election, the other being that of Sen
ator Lorimer. Of Illinois. still pending
in the elections committee.
The anti Stephenson forces in Wis
consin, in charges which were brought
before the Madison legislature and in
vestigated there, attacked the manner
in which money was used in conduct
ing the primaries that brought about
Mr.. Stephenson's election. During the
investigation, Senate Stephenson ad-
mitted that 100000 nae been expended
by him for election purposes, but in
sisted hat all Of it had been spent in
legitimate ways. The Senate investi-
cation was conducted ty q sub
elections election, headed by
Senator Hepburn, Of Idaho, and the full
elections committee report accompanied
by a resolution. declared that his cleo
ton was valid. This resolution is
pending, along with a minority resolu-
ton offered by Senator Jones. Of
Washington, declaring Mr.. Stephen
son was mot duly and legally elected
to the Senate"

WORLD WIDE COAL TRUST
WILL BE INVESTIGATED

Chicago. March PA nation wide
inquiry into an alleged coal trust"
with Chicago as the center, is in prog
ress by the government, according to
a report current yesterday.
Chicago, New York, Pennsylvania
and a number of southern states where
the coal supply is large, the report
said, were being investigated by gov
eminent agents gathering evidence.
The inquiry is said to have been or
dered several weeks ago from Wash
ington, and the report had it that sta
tistical information touching the coal
trade a already been gathered by
government agents.
According to the rumors charges are
to be made that certain large coal pro-
ducers and their selling agents COM
bined for the purpose Of maintaining
q stipulated price.
The fuel situation at the head Of the
lakes, in which Congressman Steiner
son, Of Minnesota, presented a request
for a congressional investigation, Is
thought to have a bearing on the re-
port. Attempts by the municipality OF
Two Harbors, Mimi, to purchase coal
according to reports, were baked by
Duluth dealers, who refused to sell.

CHINESE WAR IN FRISCO
BROUGHT TO AN END

San Francisco, Cal. March 25.-Because
they could not obtain gun men. to fight
their battles, the Com Yorn Lee Sor and
bling Kong tongs called off their feud last
night. In view Of the fact that four mem
bers Of the CORN Yorn Lee Scr were
killed last night by Sing Long 'assassins
and that no reprisals have been made by
the rival tong, this peace agreement is
regarded as one Of the most remarkable
In the history of tDng wars in this coun-
try.
This peace agreement does not affect
the other warning tongs, and the police de-
partment has not relaxed its vigilance in
Chinatown. 1t was because the other mill
tant tongs have hired all available gun
men that the two tongs decided to end
hostilities. Each had arrayed itself with
other fighting tongs and they were dis
mayed to find hat they could obtain no
professional killers to fight for them and
defend them.

PUTS
out INCREASE IN
LIVESTOCK Rates
Commission, Holding That the
Burden Of Proof Is On the
Railroads, Turns Down
the Advance.

washington, March 26.-The Inter-
state Commerce commission today gave
a decision of much Importance to Iowa
and the whole live stock region when
q neld the proposed increase or 33 1-3
per cent in the rates on stock cattle
and sheep throughout the western
states to and beyond the Missouri river
is not justified.
The increase was proposed by prac-
tically all the western roads. The com
mission gives the carriers until April
Il to cancel the proposed rates, and
permission is given to make the cancel
lation effective on n days notice. If
this is not done by the date specified,
a suitable order will be entered.
Hearing Was Exhaustive.
The tariffs containing the proposed
rates have been postponed 70 various
dates as late as June IL. 1912, upon pro-
test Of the live stock exchanges at
Sioux City, South Omaha, South st
paul, Kansas City, Chicago and of the
Corn Belt Meat Producers association
OF Iowa, an organization Of some 5000
feeders of cattle in that state. The
state commissions Of Iowa, Missouri.
Kansas and South Dakota also were
| represented at the hearing. An exhaus-
| tive hearing vas had and certain other
live stock records in previous proceed
ings before the commission have been
| stipulated insofar as applicable, into
| the present record.
In this case, George II. Bell and NJ.
". Baldwin represented the Sioux City
Live Stock exchange, Judge j. II. Hen
| derson appeared for the Iowa commits
| sion and Judge Henderson and "A. Sykes
for the Corn Belt Meat Producers.
The decision, which is a great victory'
for the live stock interests, says:
What the Commission Says.
THE present relative adjustment of
| rates has been in effect for % years or
| more, and the burden is upon the car
| riers to justify it's discontinuance by
the proposed advances. We cannot ac-
cept the carriers contention that the
rs per cent rate on stockers and feeders
is a gratuity to be withdrawn at will.
| The question is whether, under all the
| circumstances and conditions. the pro-
| posed rates are reasonable for the serv-
ice performed; and in determining that
question no particular factor should
| exclude others Of important bearing.
unless Of controlling force. Consider.
Ing all Of the facts. circumstances and
| conditions appearing, 1t is our conclu-
! sioE that ar increase in the rates has
not been justified, and consequently
that the proposed increased rates are
unreasonable and unjust. liz is our fur
thcr finding that the rates on stockers
and feeders now in effect should not be
exceeded for the future"
