JUDGE HOPKINS
GRANT CONTINUANCE
ELECTION CASES POSTPONED
UNTIL REGULAR TERM
Many Defense Witnesses Did Not Ap-
pear, and Amendment by State
Surprise to Defense-Attorney
Creager Propounds Puzzling Query

After special session lasting one
week, the district court adjourned
Saturday afternoon when a motion
for continuance, entered by the de-
| fense in the municipal election cases,
was granted by District Judge w. B.
Hopkins. The continuance was
granted on the grounds that more
than $50 defense witnesses, many of
whom ii was claimed were holders
Of important information, were alb
sent. Another cause pleaded by the
defense was that the state filed
amendment, surprising counsel for
defense, and giving them no oppor-
tunity TO prepare themselves to fight
the allegations contained therein.
Judge Hopkins announced that
the cases would be called on the
first day Of the regular term Of the
district court, November 16 He in
|structed counsel for both sides to be
prepared to begin trial on that date.
In giving his decision, Judge Hop
kins stated he regretted having to
continue the trials af er havin~
called a special term in order to dis
pose of the cases. However, he said
in view Of the pleadings made by tae
defense he had no alternative other
than to contine the trials.
After the decision was announced
what was evidently a puzzling ques-
tion was brought to the attention O.
Attorney Dougherty for the state.
Mr.. Creager, of the defense, asked
him what about the case Of Bates vs..
CriXell, since the defendant was
dead Mr.. Dougherty turned around
to look for his associate attorneys,
but they had all left the court room
Seeing he was alone. he answered
that he was of the opinion that who
ever succeeded CriXell would be the
defendant in the suit The matter
was left in status quo, but will be
given attention before the regular
term
Judge w. B. Hopkins and Attorney
Gordon Boone left for Corpus Christi
yesterday, and Attorney James
Dougherty left for his home at Bee
vile.

tion to Rosenthal Murder Case.

Hot Springs, Ark, Sept. 10
Douglas Hotchkiss, editor, said today
that he knew title OF Sam Schepps'
conversations while in custody here,
with the exception of what he had
written and published. A perusal of
those articles today failed to show
that Schepps made any statements

nate police Lieutenant Charles
Becker in the murder Of Herman
Rosenthal in New York.
District Attorney Whitman, of
New York, remained in ST. Louis to-
day and is not expected here before
tomorrow noon, when it is believed
he will ask Hotchkiss, Postmaster
Fred Johnson, and police officers to
make statements relative to Schepps'
conversation while here.
All express a willingness to talk
to the district attorney.
Before leaving here in custody for
New York Schepps repudiated the
alleged interviews published by
Hotchkiss in which he was quoted on
white slavery.
schepps said he did not know
Hotchkiss was an editor when he
talked with him, and did not make
the statements attributed to him.
Detective Bruins, for Becker's de-
fense, was not known as detective
here, but was posing as CORES
pondent of a New York newspaper
1t is rumored that others than the
parties named will be aswed to make
statements to the district attorney
probably tomorrow.

COMPANIES
WAC|NC HARD FIGHT
VIII Go to Court of Last Re
sort TO Prevent Reduc-
ton in Rates.
BY international News service.

WASHINGTON, Dec. l5.-An Order
requiring the express companies of the
country to show cause why the rates as
issued by the interstate commerce
commission should not go into effect
on and after February ], 1913, was is
sued yesterday by the interstate com
merce commission. Rates were published
by the commission July / / Of this year
after "a protracted series of HEARINGS.
They cover traffic in every part of the
United States and it is estimated that
their adoption will effect saving of
~ pei, cent to shippers using the scr.
wee or the companies.
The express companies are fighting
hard for the retention of their monop.
oily and will put forth every effort 10
prevent the establishment Of govern
mental rates.
The matter will be carried to the
highest courts for admdicatiug. The
companies contend that If the govern
ment is allowed TO make rates for them
that it will practically mean confis.
cation of their property. They assert
that 1t IS an imposslbility for the in.
terstate commerce commission TO es-
tablish jnst and fair rates and that il
requires actual operation of the prom
critics 10 be able 10 intelligently fix a
rate that will be fair To all.
Ii is estimated that the saving 10
the people by the lowering Of the ex-
press rates Will be more than $50 600,
600. The express companies have been
ordered to present TO the interstate
commerce commission detailed sys-
tenn Of one or more days business.

detailed statement Of tariff charged at
