HONOR TO MAINE DEAD.
Unidentified of Great Disaster Laid
in Arlington Cemetery With
Impressive Services.

ngton.-With all the pomp and
solemnity that mighty nation can pay
its heroes of war, the last of the dead
of the Maine were laid away Saturday
in Arlington cemetery.
Side by side with the bodies of those
brought back from Havana harbor
after the war with Spain, they were
consigned to earth, while a nation paid
it's last measure of honor to the "un-
identified of that great catastrophe
that brought on war, changed the
map of the world and extended the
empire of the United States into the
corners of the earth
Seldom in the history of this coun-
try has there been planned higher
tribute to the memory of any man or
men than that for the GA dead of the
Maine. Government business in Wash
ington practically was suspended by
executive order.
President Taft, most of the members
of his cabinet, the highest officers of
the army, navy and marine corps, Off
cials of the departments and the repre-
sentatives of many foreign powers par
ticipated in the exercises.
Over the government buildings flags
hung at half-mast, while congress ad-
journed for the day. The booming of
minute guns and the tramp of soldiery
added the touch of military pomp and
circumstance.

Federal COMMERCE COMMITS
sion SAYS STATE Lines
CUT LITTLE figure.
State Laws Must Not Force Railroads
to Discriminate Against Interstate
Freight Rates-National Laws Over
rule Those of States-De of
Commissioners Was Four to Three.

Washington, d. C.-The interstate
commerce commission, in recent
opinion, establishes the far-reaching
principle that railroad must so adjust
it's rates that justice shall be done be-
tween communities, regardless of state
lines. If a railroad makes low rate
upon traffic wholly within state, even
when forced to do so by a state COM
mission, it must accord the same rate
to interstate traffic moving under sub
stantially 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 opinionn and
that the remedy for such a situation
should be applied through additional
legislation.
Case Causes Conflict.
The case virtually precipitated a con-
hict between federal and state author
ity over the control of interstate traf-
'fc. The opinion of the majority, de-
livered by Commissioner Lane, is in
effect an assertion of the supremacy Of
the national regulation over the powers
exercised by any state. 1t is the first
time this assertion has been made dis
tinctly by the commission.
Chairman Prouty and Commissioners
Clark and Meyer concurred with Com
missioner Lane and Commissioners
Clements, Harlan and McChord dissent
ed
proceeding brought by the Louisi-
ana commission placed in issue the right
of interstate carriers to discriminate
in favor of state traffic and against in
terstate traffic.

GREAT NUMBER KILLED ON
BOTH Sides In BATTLE
NEAR JIMINEz.
General Salas, Former Minister of War,
Among Wounded-Rebels Send En-
CINE Down Grade to Collide With
Armored Train-Dynamite Exploded,
Killing Over Sixty Men.

Jiminez, Mex.-The rebels, after
three days of fighting, claimed victory
Monday. There are many dead on both
sides. General Gonzales Salas, the
federal leader and late Mexican min
lister of war, is among the wounded
He resigned his PORTFOLIO to take the
field.
Sixty of the federal dead were ac.
counted for when the insurgents loaded
a light engine with 40 cakes of dyna-
mite and sent it headlong into an on
coming armored train loaded with fed
eral soldiers.
During the fighting around Escalon,
Friday and Saturday, the rebels captur-
ed two rapid fire guns. Sunday night
General Campo fell back to the town
of Corralitos, which is few miles south
of this city. The former is built on
an eminence and more easily defended
than Escalon.
Engine and Powder Hit Train.
Federals entered Escalon 1000 strong,
loaded on three freight trains, and, pre-
coded by an armored train of three
cars, began to follow up the retreating
rebels.
Campo secured light engine and an
engineer who agreed to accept the haz-
ardous task of starting it after it had
been loaded with the explosive.
He ran it until a down grade was
reached, and then, opening the throttle,
jumped for his life
The wild locomotive tore down the
track at terrific speed
| The engineer of the armored train
saw his danger and stopped, but could
not escape the onrushing menace. The
latter telescoped the engine and first
car of the federal train and derailed
the last two cars. At the same in
slant the dynamite exploded.
General Campo justifes this method
by declaring that in previous fighting
the federal set fire to sagebrush, burn
ing to death both their own and rebel
wounded.
Rebel Forces Number 1000.
General Campo states his force num-
bers 1000 men, and that the federal
column is but 1000. When the arm
ored train was destroyed the main body
of government troops in the three trains
detrained and prepared to defend them
selves. Meanwhile, General Campo had
sent strong detachment on detour
to get in their rear, and the federal now
find themselves hemmed in by a SUI
perior force.
In the fighting of the three days the
rebels have captured 80 prisoners, six
of them wounded, and an officer; captur-
ed two rapid firers, and claim to have
killed about 100 of the enemy.

concerned. In years gone by, ali
that the farmer had to do was TO pre-
pare his ground, hitch up his team,
drive leisurely into town, buy his
oats and go back and plant tn EN-.
This year the situation is different.
Practically al the seed oats that
will be planted in Oklahoma this year
will have to be imported from Kansas
and Missouri There were some oats
raised in Oklahoma and some in Tex

gram dealers over the state have only
a small quantity of COOL oats and the
farmer who does his shopping early

II has been suggested by Secretary

Wewoha, OKLA, Jan. 24.-The bru
tai murder of Muthoya and his wife
Indians, who lived six miles south
east of here, was discovered this
morning. The dead body of the wom
an was firs. found, lying at the road
side
Tne alarm was given and a searcn
for Muthoya began. He was found
in his buggy two miles down the
road. He had been SHOT.
Apparently the woman had fallen
from the buggy after she was snot,
aud had been dHagr..ea a-coifs idcrabie
tistance. Then her body became dis
4ntangled and lay by the roadside.
The horse ran away, it is shown by
their tracks and carried tne body of
Muthoya. who was presumably shot
at the same time his wife was killed,
two miles down the road.
AThere the horses lett the road and
Necame entangled in saplings in Il

ers found them this morning. Mu-

Muthoya and his wife had been in
Wewoka yesterday and left here just
before nightfall for their farm south
east OF this place Just where they
were when the shots were fired is
not known, as both nad evidently been
carried so-e distance by the run
away team.
They were respectable Indian citi-
zeEs and owned considerable land
Lately there had been some dispute
about the land owned by Muthoya
and his wife and if is believed mere
that the murders were committed on
that account
Although the country is aroused
over the murders, no arrests have
been made. Several persons are I'M

to leave the country until the mystery
has been cleared up.
