eRAWL CAUSED BY JURIST'S AL LEGED REMARK ABOUT WIFE
 OF COUNTY CLERK.
PRINCIPALS WENT ARMED
Separated After Judges Face Is Bruised and Antagonists Hand Is InJured-Former Denies
 He Talked of Woman.

Edwardsville, H., June 1.-The face of County Judge Hillskotter of Madison county, H., bears many bruises, and one of the hands of John B. Coppinger, clerk of the probate court, is bound up, as the result of a fight between the two over a disparag- ing remark the county judge is said to have made about a woman
 Coppinger, 1t is said, took Hilskot- ter to task for his remark in the bar room of the Leland hotel, Madison, and Hillskotter denied having made the statement. Coppinger offered to bring men who had heard him make the remark. and Hillskotter declared If they said he had made the remark they told an untruth.
 The judge then threw down his hat and the two men struck at each other, witnesses say. It was several min utes before they could be separated by other county officials
 Clerk of Court Went Armed.
 The trouble is said to have been the result of feud of several months standing, which became public Memo rial day, when Harry J. Mackinaw, clerk of Hillskotter's court, came to his office armed with revolver
 He told friends that the judge had made disparaging remark about his wife and that he intended to shoot him on sight.
 Mackinaw is a cripple and barely able to walk. His wife aids him in his duties as clerk of the court and as county clerk, and in that manner has become known to all of the county officials. She enjoys the highest re- spect of her associatts and acquain- tances, several officials said yester- day.
 Mackinaw was disarmed by friends and Judge Hillskotter was taken to task. He denied having made the statement Mackinaw attributed to him..
 Pistol Taken From Judue.
 Later Hillskotter is said tu~ have learned of Mackinaw's arming and to have provided himself with a revolver. The weapon was taken from him by a sheriff's deputy despite the statute which allows him to go armed.
 Coppinger and Hillskotter met in the bar of the hotel and immediately began having words over the affair. Neither of the combatants was arrest cd and aach dpr1arac bo will not .+o-A legal proceedings against the other.

Suits From Four Other States.

Maximum railroad rates of four states besides Missouri hang in the balance before the supreme court. Following its sweeping decision sus. taining the validity of the Minnesota maximum rate law and the right of states to regulate internal state rates, the highest court is expected today to decide similar cases from West Virginia, Kentucky, Oregon and Arkansas, as we'll as the Missouri case.
 It is not certain, however, that the court will decide all the remaining rate cases today. because of it's die tum in the Minnesota case that each rate law must stand upon its own bot tom and may be decided from the pe- culiar facts in each instance as to whether the state laws are confisca- tory.
 Government officials felt confident yesterday that the court would hold gon and West Virginia, but might de- clare the Missouri and Arkansas laws confiscatory as to part of the roads affected.
 Effects of Minnesota Decision.
 Officials of the department of jus tice and interstate commerce com mission declare that the effect of the Minnesota decision would be most drastic. They summarized its princi- pal effects as follows:
 To give every state the right to en- force maximum rate laws, unless and until congress passes uniform federal maximum rate laws.
 To divest the interstate commerce commission of all control over intra- state rates fixed by state commits sions.
 To force railroads, dissatisfied with state laws, to test each and every state law as confiscatory up to the su- preme court.
 To direct the work of physical val uation of railroads by the interstate commerce commission and every state commission. with clear, new and distinct standards laid down by the highest court.
 States Have Primary Rights.
 Government officials declare that the most far-reaching principle estab- lished in the Minnesota case was that giving states the right, until congress speaks, to fix intrastate rates even If they accidentally affect interstate rates and thus overlap into the realm of interstate commerce. On this point the court ss:5:

colnions Read by Justice Hughes and Backed by Unanimous Court More Decisions Expected
 Today or Tomorrow.

Washington, June u.-Declaring valid the Oregon law of 1907 creat- ing the state railroad commission, the supreme court yesterday afternoon sustained the commissions order to the Portland Railway, Light and Power company, directing that 1t re- duce by 5 cents fares on its Milwau- tee Oregon and Oregon City inter- urban divisions.
 Iii the Minnesota cases, the su- preme court upheld the right of state railroad commissions to fix freight and passenger rates within the boun- daries of the states, holding intra- state regulation was not interference with interstate commerce or usurpa- ton of federal powers.
 Supreme jurisdiction in rate regu- laton, however, still Is vested in con gress, the court held, and the rail roads were given the right to appeal to the courts in an effort to prove rates confscatory in specific in stances. With the exception of these two barren victories, the decision was regarded as a great blow to the allied railroads. which were alleged to have combined to strike death blow at states fights"
 Decisions in the IS Missouri rail road rate cases are expected today or tomorrow.
 The court, in view of the Minnesota rate decisions. is expected to uphold Missouris 2-cent fare law. What rail roads are amenable to 1t will depend upon the courts findings in individ ual cases, as to whether the 2-cent passenger rate is confiscatory.

Music Teacher at Galesburg, Ill.,, Sho, Three Times in Going to Aid
 of His Daughter.

Galesburg, H., June 11.-Prof Charles A. Lindoft, teacher of violin was murdered in his home yesterday morning, after he had returned from the annual commencement concert of the Knox Conservatory of Music, in which he had taken part as first vio- linist in the orchestra.
 Shortly after midnight Prof. Lin doft's daughter Hazel was awakened by the touch of the muzzle of a re- volver against her forehead A gruff voice told her to remain quiet under penalty of death. She tried to cry out, but her screams were hushed by the mans fingers clutching her throat.
 The girls father, hearing the com, motion in the adjoining room, called out, Who's there?"
 Hearing no response, the professor arose from his bed and started to enter his daughters room. Three shots were fired, all three taking ef- feet. Prof. Lindoft was killed instant ly with two shots through the neck and one through the lung, near his heart.
 All efforts to locate the slayer have proved futile. Miss Lindoft could give no description of the man.
 Lindoft was about 45 years old, and had always lived in Galesburg. He leaves daughter, son having been drowned

Como in the trunk into which young Charlton put it, following the murder.
 One of the most brutal crimes in European annals was that of Charl- tons, to which he has confessed. An inn in an Italian village was its scene. Hotel employees heard violent quarreling between MT. and Mrs. Charlton on the night of June ', 1910. The next day the couple had disap- peared Three days later Mrs. Charl- tons body, beaten and dlsflgured, was found in Lake Como. The head was crushed into pulp. A heavy mallet was the instrument of death.
 Charlton, who is the son of Paul Charlton, former judge of Porto Rico, fled from Italy. He was arrested at Hoboken, N. J., June 23, 1910, when he stepped from the North German Lloyd liner Princess Irene. He made no effort to conceal his identity. Later he confessed. Eminent specialists de- clared him insane.
 Charlton developed tuberculosis in 1910 His father was arranging to send him to the army sanitarium in New Mexico when he told of a secret mar riage few weeks before to Mrs. Cas- tie.
