COAL Rate rs
DECLARED EXCESSIVE
Interstate Commerce Commission De
cision is Against the
Railroads.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
WASHINGTON, March 19.-That
the SS-cent rate charged by the New
York Central and the Pennsylvania
lines for the transportation of blum
inous coal. in carloads, from the Pitts.
burgh district to Ashtabula harbor,
Ohio, is unreasonable" was the deci-
sion in the Lake Coal cases made to-
day by the interstate commerce COM
mission. The decision specifies that
the railroads shall maintain for a
period of two years a rate not to ex-
coed rs cents per net ton.
THE testimony of the defendants -
the opinion says, makes the Pitts.
burgh-Ashtabu1a rate a keystone OF
the entire system Of lake coal rates"
Considering the operating and main
tenance cost to the railroads the com
mission holds that these tend to
show that the operating expenses OF
transporting Pittsburgh coal to Ash
tabula is less than one-half OF the
present rate of IS cents
The SS-cent rate on bituminous coal
in carloads, charged Pittsburgh coal
operators on shipments to Ashtabula
Ohio. and which the commission or.
dered reduced to IS cents, applies
only to shipments that are received at
Ashtabula by rail to be trausshipped
by vessel to points beyond"

THE ICE MOVING
ON RIVER front
Open on the iowa Side From the
Bridge to the Foot
of Bank
Street.
HANNIBAL AND QUINCY
The Des Molnes River is Slowly Yield
Ing to the Warm Weather
and Is Opening
Nicely.
HANNIBAL AND QUINCY

The ice in the river begins to be a
little spongy and Is growing weaker
all the time. Yesterday there was
little open space just below the old
packet depot which brought hope
that there would soon be larger
break should the weather keep at all
mild.
At o'clock today the ice broke
loose just below the Mississippi river
bridge and continued to break all
along the line on the Iowa side until
soon the river was open on this side
as far down as the foot of Bank street.
On the, Illinois side the ice still re-
mains intact. But in front of the old
packet depot as far UP as the Missis-
sippi river bridge and down to the
foot of Bank street there is an open
river wide enough on which the larg-
est river boats might navigate.
Reports from Quincy today is that
the ice at that point Is on the move,
ing the river almost clear in front OF
the city, floating down about hun
dred feet Or more.
With the ice giving way here and
as far as Quincy and the weather
mild and growing milder, with a
bright sun blazing down, it would
seem that 1t is a matter OF only a
few days when boats may ply their
open season business from st. Louis
to Keokuk and on to Burlington.
Later reports say that the ice is
also going out nicely from the Des
Moines river without anything like
threatening gorges. Hannibal and
other points south also send the same
gratifying reports.

GOD AND MORAL Law
r.th, said the Eloquent Evangelist,
IL the Foundation Stone Of
All Of Our
Hopes.

Another large audience gathered in
the Baptist church last night to hear
n. Lincoln Mcconnell who is holding
revival services in that church.
Dr. Mcconnell took for his text last
evening the 22nd verse Of the eleventh
cbapter Of st. Mark: And Jesus an
swering saith unto them, have faith in
Cod"
Everyone who knows anything of
The Bible at all knows faith Is the
foundation stone of all our hope. II
I should ask you if you have faith m
God it is extremely probable you
would answer you have. If l shouro
ask you what you believe you might
answer: II believe everything God
says And vet II you did, things
would be different in your churches
today. There is vast difference in
the believin., about God and believing
God. The reason we have not faith in
God is because We have had our faith
educated out OF us. Faith is naturai
to man, unbelief is unnatural. Mary,
Martha and Lazarus are good examples
Of the faith OF man in God. They were
believers in Jesus Christ. Trouble
came. Lazarus sickened and died.
His loving sisters did everything in
their power. They did not stop with
the mere doing of things, they sent a
message to Jesus Come and help us."
Jesus came to answer their prayer, bus
by the time he arrived, Lazarus had
already lain in the grave for four
days. He came with the prayer al
ready answered, so far as he was
concerned, but he found these follow
ers Of his without the faith they should
have in him. These dear sisters were
disposed to limit the power of Jesus
Of Nazareth; in their hearts was the
firm conviction that he was too late.
He could do nothing there. They
believed because Jesus was away over
yonder he could not know what was
taking place here. Today you have
seen many similar manifestations of
lack Of faith. We think we have faith in
God; We believe things can be done,
but right here? Oh, no. I have heard
many people ask God for things they
want but they did not expect them
Expectation is now. They believe God
can do things, but not now. And they
would be very much surprised if their
prayers were answered. Have faith
in God now. One of the saddest CON
ditions meet today Is to see whole

God to do things for the very folk
who need them the most. have gone
