COKE RATES CUT
Interstate Commerce COmmiss
sion Orders Reductions.
Decision Is Very Favorable to
Chicago Dealers.
S4, ,OOO,O 900 CLAIM is DENIED
Commission Refuses to Grant
Huge ReparatiOn Asked.
No Testimony Introduced to
Support Damage Alleged.

Washington. June 13.-GeneraI ad-
Justment with reductions of about
twelve per cent on the freight rates
on coke from the ConnellsvilIe region
IN pennsylvania to furnaces and steel
mills, both east and west, was ordered
today by the interstate commerce
commission. Reparation aggregatinss
millions of dollars We're not allowed.
rive cases involving coke rates from
the Connellsville region have been un-
der consideration nearly a year. The
principal one was brought by the Coke
PRODUCERS association in the Connells-
vilie region against the Baltimore and
Ohio, the Pennsylvania and several
other roads. 1t attacked as unreason-
able and unjustly discriminatory all
Its coke rates and declared they were
preferential as compared with the
West Virginia rates. The commission
held that the rates to Youngstown,
Canton. Cleveland and Toledo, Ohio;
North Cornwall, Robesonia, Reading
and Philadelphia, Pa; Baltimore, Md;
and Newark, N. J.. were unreasonable
and prescribed rates averaging about
II per cent lower than existing rates
although in some instances no change
was. made. Also it was held that the
present relationship between the Con-
nellsville district and the Fairmont dis
tr1ct in West Virginia, was not des-
criminatory against the former or un-
duly preferential to the latter.
In the case of the Youngstown Sheet
& Tube company against the Pitts
burg & Lake Erie, the commission re-
duced the coke rates from Connells-
vile to the Mahoning Valley in Ohio
from $135 to $1.20 ton. The traffic
is enormous between Connellsville and
destinations in the Shenandoah Valley
in Pennsylvania, and the Mahoning
Valley in Ohio, aggregating more than
100000 tons during the two years
prior to the institution of the proceed
ings. ReparatiOn in the sum of $4,-
100000 was demanded by shippers,
but refused because no testimony was
introduced in reference to it. The
commission decided it had no jurisdic-
tion over the traffic to the Shenan-
doah Valley, as that was entirely in
trastate. The present rate of $3.50 a.
ton on coke from Connellsville to Chi
cago was held to be reasonable in two
cases brought by the Wisconsin Steel
company, and in one by the Inland
Steel company. Existing rates be-
tween Connellsville and the blast fur
naces and steel mills in and near Buff
falo, New York, were sustained.

WOMAN LED MOB
Jail StOrmed and Negro
Hanged, Shot and Burned.
Party Worked Quietly-Sheriff
Recognized None.

Anadarko, June 13.-Denny Simmons
a young negro who was Jailed here
Wednesday on the charge of assaulting
and numbering Miss Susie Church, 20
miles northeast of Anadarko, Tuesday
afternoon, was lynched this morning at
o'clock three-quarters of a mile north
of this city.
The mob then set fire 20 the negro s
body and riddled it with bullets.
At 1 o'clock this morning a mob of
300 men, headed by a woman who car
ried rope, appeared at the court
house, awakened Sheriff Blankenship
and demanded the keys. There were a
number of women in the crowd As
the sheriff had removed the negro to
the old stone Jail at the Indian agency
just north of town, he turned over the
keys to the county Jail to the mob.
The mob searched the county Jail thor
oughly but failed to find the negro
Half an hour later the would-be lynch
ers learning they had been tricked
went over to the Indian agency. There
they quickly broke down the door, Sc
cured the negro and hailed him forth.
Dragging him to a point across the
Washita river, Simmons clothing was
saturated with oil. Then he was
promptly drawn up to the limb of
tree. Numerous shots were fired into
the dangling body and soon some one
set fire to the negro's oil-soaked cloth
ing In a moment the clothing had
been burned off
The mob was composed of citizens
from the northern part of the county,
the neighborhood where the crime was
committed.
1t was so orderly that it's operation
were not generally known in the city
until after daylight
The sheriff went to the scene of the
lynching at 9 O'Clock and cut the negro
down.
The sheriff said he did not recognize
any of the members of the mob.

REvERSES RULING.
Not Necessary to Take Assignments
Personally.

Washington, June 13.-Secretary Lane
of the interior department settled a
long disputed question in relation to
public lands by holding that under the
law June 13, 1910, persons who take
assignments of reclamation homesteads
upon which final proof has been made
need not show themselves to the quali-
fed homesteaders. The secretary held,
however, that such aSSignees could
take and hold only one farm unit, the
fundamental purpose of the law being
to divide irrigated lands among as
many families as they will support.
The ruling reverses a regulation of the
interior department issued last Febru-
ary.
