Washington.-In the Missouri rate
cases the Supreme Court held the
rates confiscatory on the st. Louis &
Hannibal, Kansas City, Clinton &
Springfield. and Chicago Great West
ern railroads. The court held the
rates valid as to the st. Louis South
western. the Missouri Pacific, the st.
Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern, the
Wabash, the Chicago. Milwaukee &
St Paul and the Chicago & Alton.
The decision holding the rates con-
fiscatory as to the Chicago, Great
Western, was made to apply by virtue
OF stipulation between the state and
the railroads, to the Quincy, Omaha
& Kansas City railroad and the st. Jo-
seph & Grand Island railway.
The decision was based on the two:
cent passenger law and the maximum
freight law.
Justice Hughes, who announced the
decision. held that the point sought to
be made by the railroads to the effect
that the Missouri rates were an inter-
ference with interstate commerce,
must be decided against them for the
same reasons given by the court in the
Minnesota rate cases. The court also
sustained the rates of the Missouri
law as to the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy, the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe. the Kansas City Southern, the
Missouri. Kansas & Texas. the Chi
cago, Rock Island & Pacific (includ-
Ing the st. Louis, Kansas City and
Colorado) and the st. Louis & San
Francisco. In each Of these cases the
DEGREES Of the lower court In favor of
the railroads were reversed. The Ar
kansas maximum freight rate law and
the two-cent passenger fare were up
held as valid. The West Virginia two
cent law also was upheld MS valid.
The court upheld as valid the rates
imposed by the Oregon Railroad Com
mission out Of Portland, thus affirm
ing the Federal Court Of that state.

REAL DAYTON FLOOD
 MOVIES AT EMPRESS
Manager Reeves Secures First Run of
 Especially Interesting Film.

If moving pictures of the Johnstown flood or even the San Francisco earth quake and fire had been possible in their time, such pictures would have been of more than ordinary interest even at this late date. But the moving picture bushes was only a dream of the future then and such illustrations of those great disasters as are in ex- lstence are photographs taken under the single and time exposure process.
 That the recent flood in the Dayton district is entitled to prominent place in the great disasters of modern times Is acknowledged. That the section of Ohio flooded when the reservoirs broke and the Ohio rose above the le wees was one time the home of hund- reds of Phoenicians or at least of rela- tlves of those now living here was evil denced by the interest taken in the de- tails of the great disaster by the read CTS of newspapers in this city and vii cinity.
 Taking all this into consideration, the announcement that Manager A. II. Reeves of the Empress theater, has succeeded in arranging for the first showing in Phoenix of moving pictures taken in Dayton and along the Ohio river during the trying flood period is of more than passing interest For two nights these incomparable life stories of the rising waters, the ruin and suffering, will be shown at the Empress. For those who have lived in
 the flood stricken district or who have visited there, there will be untold in terest. For those who have never been in Ohio or the section visited by the greatest disaster of modern times the pictures will be of interest because of i their timely and historical value. l The film is not of the Pathe Weekly | variety. It is a full 1000 foot length l and the scenes are more numerous and more vivid than any regular service 1 has been able to secure. They are pie lures the posted man or woman cannot
 afford to miss and they show more I clearly than any newspaper account possibly could the real extent of the l great catastrophe

Fierce Attack on Scutari

cETTINJE, April 22.-Montengrin forces made a fierce attack on Scu- tari9 aast night, according to an of ficiaI report. The engagement lasted the whole night Montenegrins cap tured two lines of posts on the west and east fronts
 Early this morning the Turks at tempted counter attack, but were repulsed. The Montengrin losses were heavY.
 The fall of Scutari is considered imminent.

ed with each other and were not !
ashamed of the association.
For instance, in the second inning
Capt. Larry Doyle of the Giants ex-
ploded a noisy triple to the bleachers
in right center. Bud Schultz attempt
ed to head off the pill, and Tommy
Leach backed him up perfectly. When
the ball got past Schultz, Leach was
right there to grab it, and made such
a quick return to the infield that
Doyle was safe at third by a very
narrow margin. This backing up is
something new, and a very pleasing
sign of awakened mentality.
After Doyle had been run down
between third and home on Merkle's
bounder to Zim, on which Fred reach
ed second, Heinie, Safer and Bres-
nahan turned another swell play.
Murray. rolled to third and Zim made
a noble attempt to get him at first,
but Red beat the ball for a hit. Mer-
kle, running wild, tried to score all
the way from second, but Safer was
on the alert, and pegged perfectly to
Bresnahan, who threw himself across
Merkle's path for the putout. Then
Murray was nipped stealing, Roger
to Evers. That is only a sample of
the stellar defensive work the Cubs
exhibited throughout the game. Zim,
Evers, BridWen and Safer managed
to get in front of most everything
that was hit, and they knew what to
do with the ball after picking it up.
On the contrary, the Giants crack
ed together. In the inning the Cubs
scored four times the Giants erred
thrice, Tesreau handed out a pass,
and two hits were registered. Not
one of these runs was earned, but
the daring baserUnning of the home
guard had lot to do with forcing
the errors, as the Giants were kept UP
in the air after they had once as
cended.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-07-31

cused of grabbing over a lost game,
we have waited until the Cubs gave
their best exhibition of the year be-
fore discussing the merits of Ward
Miller and Mike Mitchell in left field.
AS is well known, Manager EVers
puts Ward in the field when a right
handler pitches, and stations Mike out
there when a soUthpaw performs for
the enemy. This is supposed to be
inside baseball, and is alleged to in
crease the batting power Of the team.
But the increased bingling is not
strikingly apparent. Mitchell is away
ahead of Miller in the batting aver
ages, and all of his cloUting has not
been done against left-handers. Mil
Ter is a cleaner fielder than Mitchell,
but hasn't as good an arm. He may
be a betted baserunner, but back in
the days when the kids played town
BALI it was necessary to reach first
before any baserUnning could be
done. If Mitchell was allowed to stay
in the game fora longer period it
is reasonable to believe he would do
as well as the majority of gardeners.
He certainly hit with Cincinnati. 1t
must be remembered that Mikes
regular position is right field, and the
shift to the opposite wing of the sub
urbs affects his fielding, especially as
he is playing one of the most difficult
stations in the league. That Cub left
field is a blazing sun spot, and the
pavilion jutting out into the green
is bound to bother any man who. has
not studied it's angles. Several out
fielders have been tried there, and
only one has done any better than
Mitchell. That was Jimmy Sheckard,
who handled the hot shots off the
stand like billiard player. Mike has
improved over the fielding form he
showed at the start of the season,
which is indication that he has
studied his new position.
