A Correction.

The report that Mr.. Walter
Mackie, of this city had purchased
an interest with his brother at
Winchester was incorrect, as he
was only assisting in running the
business while his brother, George,
was i'll with typhoid fever. How
ever. he has about recovered now
and Mr.. Walter Mackie has re-
turned to this city and taken up
his position at w. B. Whites
where he will be glad to welcome
his friends.

Mr.. FRED
G. NORRIS
And New Albany Girl
Meet Their Death in
a Wdtery Grave.
The Horrible Accident Occurred
In Slate Greek.

A deep gloom lowered over our
city Thursday afternoon when the
heart-rending news that Mr.. Fred
G. Morris, aged % years, of this
city, and Miss Allene Wayman, of
New Albany, Ind, had been
drowned while riding in small
boat about a quarter of a mile
above the dam at Towards Mill,
in Slate Creek. The Inflated
couple were accompanied in the
boat when it overturned in some
unaccountable manner by Mr..
Robert Stone, one of the proprie-
tors of the Mt. Sterling Garage,
and Miss Florence Dawson, also of
New Albany, and it was only by
lexpert swimming and wonderful
endurance that Mr.. Stone was en-
abled to save the life of his COM
panion. Both Mr.. Morris and
\ Mr.. Stone were expert swimmers,
and it would have been an easy
matter for Mr.. Morris to have
saved himself but, like the brave
boy that he was, he chose to per-
ish rather than not save the life of
his companion.
Immediately after the tragedy
automobiles were rushed to the
scene and the lifeless bodies were
soon rescued and brought to this
city and prepared for burial.
Relatives of Miss Wayman arrived
here Friday and her body was ia
!. ken to New Albany for burial,
while her surviving companion
Awas rushed to hospital in Lex
yington, where she lies in a critical
condition.
The funeral or Mr.. MOTIFS was
held at the grave in Machpelah
Cemetery, Saturday afternoon,
conducted by Rev. H. ID. Clark.
He is survived by his mother,
Mrs. Martha Morris, who was in
Missouri at the time of his death,
and who arrived here Friday night
on the late train, which was held
80 minutes in Louisville, in order
to allow her to make connection.
One sister, Miss Louise, and one
brother, Mr.. Roy l.. Morris, also
survive, all of whom have the
deepest heartfelt sympathy OF
this entire community in the loss
of their loved one.
Fred Morris was proprietor of
the Morris Cafe. and was a young
man of many sterling qualities.

RATE FAVORABLE TO OKLAHOMA
Schedules Offered by Railroads and
Commission Are Compromised
In Most Gases.

WashiHgtOn.-Beasserting the be
lief Of the interstate commerce com
mission that the class and commodity
freight rates between points in Okla
homa and Texas are unjust and dis
criminatory as compared with the
rates from Texas points to Oklahoma,
Commissioner Clements has pre-
scrlbed compromises between the
schedules offered by the railroads and
Oklahoma corporation commission.
The opinion settles this important
case, which has been the subject Of a
long and important fight In the orig
!nal report Of the commission handed
down last May in which the rates
were held unjust, the commission
held the case open for the railroads
and the commission to submit pro-
posed scales mutually satisfactory TO
them, if an agreement could be
reached in conference which the com
mission suggested. This conference
was held but participants failed to
reach an agreement and the commits
sion therefore prcscribes what it be-
70 into effect June 18th.
Rates to Oklahoma points on the
first four classes from certain Texas
jobbing points including Dallas and
Fort Worth are made on a basis OF
the so-called jobbers' scale which,
generally speaking, is lower than the
scale prescribed by tho Texas com
mission for interstate traffic while
the petition charged unreasonableness
I'm the sOuthbOund rates between Okla
homa and Texas. The evidence and
argument were directed principally
at the alleged undue discrimination
against the Oklahoma jobbers into
Texas in favor Of the Texas jobbers
into Oklahoma by reason Of the lower
rates accorded TO the latter under the
jobbers' scale applicable on first four
classes
The commission sustained the Okla
homa corporation commissions CON
tentions.
After the conference with the state
commission the carriers suggested
that the national commission pre-
scribe the Texas scale in It's entirety
with the upward gradations beyond
its limit Of 245 miles, although some
admitted the abnormality IN that scale
I'm the narrow spread between the
first and fourth classes. The fourth
class rate Of the Texas scale is uni
formly so per cent of the first

Titanic Claims Total $4,000, 900.

New York.-The time limit for filing

Steam Navigation company, limited,

the Titantic was extended by United
States Judge Holt in the case of two

Of over fifty immigrants was given

There we're 125 claims filed the last
day before the time limit expired
These amounted to $2,132,857 and bring
the total now claimed for loss of life
and property and injury to nearly S14,-

REALLY A SOUND INVESTMENT
sanatorIum Where the Tuberculosis
May Be Cured Is Worth Much 70
Any state or City.

DR.. H. L. Barnes, superintendent OF
the Rhode Island state sanatorium,
has recently demonstrated by some In
teresting studies OF patients discharg-
ed as apparently cured" from that in
stitution, that a sanatorium is a sound
Investment for any state or city. The
gross earnings of ITO ex-patients OBJ
tanned in 1911 amounted to $102,752,
and those OF 211 cases In 1912 to f112,.
021. BY applying the same average
earning to all ex-patients Of the sana-
torium living in 1911 and 1912, DR..
Barnes concludes that their income in
these two years was 1851 900. This
sum Is more than three times the cost
CT maintenance Of the sanatorium in
cluding interest at per cent on the
original investment and depreciation
charges DR.. Barnes concludes, how
ever, while institutions for the cure
of tuberculosis are good investments,
there is good reason for thinking that
institutions for the isolation Of far ad-
vanced cases would be still better In
vestments."

ITCHING, BURNING ECZEMA

317 S. Wolfe St., Baltimore, Md
my trouble was caused by a severe
sprained ankle; the bruised blood not
having been drawn of caused a skin
affection which the doctors pro-
nounced eczema. 1t first started with
all itching and burning with very dry
skin. Constant scratching, especially
during the night finally broke the
skin, and during the day the watery
fluid that came from 1t would dry and
peel off like fish scales. My stocking

but there are some who are skeptical

general weakness Of the pontiff and
because he is inclined 70 disobey

The pope declared that he felt bet

chamber impelled him TO leave his
bed, which he did without assistance.
AS is his custom on such occasions,
the pope ordered his attendants out

accident Cardinal Merry Del Val, the
papal secretary OF state, visited the

Cardinal Sarto visited the sover-

After a moment, King Humbert

In answer, the patriarch handed him
