Some Accompanlst.

Charles Hough, young man of
youthful appearance, slight in build
compared with the woman, and gray
as to hair, was at the piano. He un-
derstands perfectly how best to ac-
company the prima donna. He knows
that volume is required. what shading
is desirable, how much of 1t, and he
follows every motion of the singer to
detect her next requirement In the
matter of plano support. He not only
knows these things, but he does them.
That IN why he is such an excellent

LAW IS OBEYED.
Railroads Announce Lower Rates
Pursuant to Court Decision.

Chicago, July 2S.-At a conference
here today, attended by officers of
twelve railroads operating between
Chicago and the Missouri river, for
the purpose of considering conditions
as a result of the recent decisions by
the supreme court of the United
States in the Missouri, Arkansas and
Minnesota rate cases, a statement
was given out, reading in part as fol-
lows:
The railroads have promptly
obeyed the laws and orders in Mis-
souri,, Arkansas and Minnesota, re-
ducing passenger and freight rates,
which were the subject of the recent
decisions by the supreme court of the
United States
The two-cent passenger fare has
been put into effect in each state,
as well the reduced freight rates,
but the tariffs carrying these rates
have been filed under protest.
believing those reductions are not
only wrong by being untiEoely and
unnecessary, the railroads have put
these low rates into effect under pro-
test and propose to continue their eff
forts to have them increased. New
evidence will be carefully prepared
to meet the suggestions contained in
the opinions of the supreme court, in
case further litigation should become
necessary, and consideration is also
being given to an appeal to the state
authorities and the interstate COM
merce commission for relief instead
of again resorting to the courts"

stitution was held up for months ana

cepted q location near Newton, only

PEYTON INSANE.
He Was Struck by Street Car Two
Weeks Ago.

George H. Peyton, who was struck
by a street car two weeks ago, was
today adjudged insane by an insanity
commission, although the full report
of the case will not be finished until
evening. Peyton was injured at
Fifth and Kansas avenue by a street
car, but at the time his condition was
not considered serious.
A week after the accident, according
to his wife and his neighbors Peyton
began to show signs of insanity. Later
he was taken to the county Jail where
he is now confined in the padded cell.
1t is said that he tried to tear the pad
ding out of the cell and succeeded in
part of it.
The Jail officials said this afternoon
that he was looking under the carpet, de-
claring that his wife was there. The ex-
aiming physicians in the probate court
said this afternoon that he would prob
ably be sent to the state hospital al
though the examination would not be
finished till this evening.

SQUARED WITH JAPAN
Complete Understanding Said to Be
Almost in Sight.

Washington, July 2S.-Administratio ton
officials here are disposed to take IN
optimistic view of the negotiations with
Japan arising from her protest against
the California anti-alien land law and
believe that a complete understan 1irg
almost is in sight.
While there may be another inte--
change of notes. administration officials
feel that the diplomatic correspondence
so far has established the friendiiness
of the United States government for
Japan and the absence of intent upon
it's part in discriminating against Jap
aneSe. While there has been no Spec-
ific solution of the questions arising. it
is said a frank understanding of tie
purpose of the two nations has arisen
from the negotiations.

looked wan and i'll and several nurses
were in attendance. The appearance
of the militant leader was the signal
for great display of enthusiasm. Her
stay was very brief and she was after

which she had arrived without being
molested by the police.
Mrs Pankhurst addressed few
words to the meeting. assuring her
audience that victory for the cause
