AN EXCEEDINGLY ); IMPORTANT
RATE DECISION.

Probably the most important de
cision ever rendered by the Inter
state Commerce Commission, SO tar
as the State Of Iowa was affected,
was handed down last week. The
decision automatically reduces
freight rates throughout the entire
state. u. e. 5as
To unf erstand the Importance OF
the decision specific facts must be
considered. The rates for many years
between New York and other east
ern cities, and 1owa's Mississippi river
cities, were graduated on an excess
q ten cents per one hundred pounds
on first class and lesser amounts or
the lower classes above the rates
to East St. Louis. Later the rates
were slightly Increased at East St
Louis and eor: many years past the
first class rate from New York to
st. Louis, East st. Louis, Hanniba,
and Quincy has been nine cents less
than to Keokuk and other Iowa point
north, including Dubuque. The dis
lance from New York to Quincy Is
y :
ten miles greater than to Keokuk
but Keokuk's rate was nine cents
higher than Quincy. rate, and Keokul
is only thirty-nine miles distant
from Quincy. Quincy's rate was or
iginally materially higher than the
rate at st. Louis, but years ago the
discrimination was voluntarily correct
ed by the carriers for Quincy's up
building. But this reform was stop
ped at Quincy, the nearest Missis-
sippi river city south Of the Iowa
line.
Broadly speaking, the rates from
eastern cities to interior places in
Iowa have been computed on what
would be charged for shipment to
the nearest Mississippi river point,
and reshipment from there to- the
Interior station.
River cities on. Iowa's eastern and
western boundaries are practically
rate keystones. Therefore, the re-
ducing Of rates to Mississippi river
points, inevitably reduces the rate
throughout the entire state to points
as far west as those taking the same
rate as the Missouri river cities. 3.
This far-reaching decision seems.
to have been made because the car
riers could not present any good rea-
son for charging a higher rate from
the Atlantic sea coast to Iowa than
to Missouri

TO STOP WHISKEY
 SALES TO INDIANS
Judge Hon of Ft. Smith Springs Surprise on SalOOnkeepers of That City by Digging
 Up Old Statute.

Ft. Smith, June 12.-Judge Hon sprung a surprise on the saloon men this morning by reading an old statute that has been ignored so long that it has been practically forgotten. It is the statule pro- hibiting the selling of liquor to h. dians. It was read during the trial of Riley Owens on a charge of stealing a diamond ring and S200 from an Indian in a rOOming house on the lower end of Garrison ave- nue. The Indian was drunk at the time. A bartender was on the stand and had testified to the number of times the Indian had drank at the bar and how drunk he was.
 Just for his information and to prevent his unwittingly further the law, Judge Hon read the section of the statute. It i'm poses fine of SI to Si00 for each The statute is patterned after the United States statute pro- hibiting the sale of liquor to In dians.
 Since it has been brought to light, the interesting question that has been discussed for a number of years, growing out of the gradual of the Indian reserva- tions and the tribal governments, of ''Who is an Indian?" becomes a very interesting one in this city. What is Indian country is one of the questions involved in the recent eases involving the right to ship liquor into Oklahoma. Some deci- siOns have held that an Indian ceased to be an Indian when his tribal government had been dis solved and he had become a citizen If a state.

CRUELTY IS ALLEGED
 IN OKLAHOMA PRISON

Oklahoma City, June ll.-Inmates at the boys training school at Paul's Valley are cruelty whipped at frequent intervals, conditions are nsanitary, not through lack of fla cilities, but through lack of ener- gy on the part of those in charge, and the present superintendent is utterly incapable, according to al- legations in the report of the de- partment of charities and correc- tions, which recently conducted an investigation of the institution.
 Among the recommendations made by Miss Kate Barnard com mossioner of the department, is the immediate removal of E. B. Nelson as general superintendent, whom she charges as incapable of con- ducting an institution of that char acter. This is the second time within two years that Miss Barnard has recommended NelsOns remOV- al.

FUTRALL IS NAMED
 ACTING PRESIDENT
Chosen by Board to Head University of Arkansas for Coming Year Prof. Martin Nelson Is
 Acting Dean.

Fayetteville, June ll.-PrOf. John C. Futrall has been named acting president of the University of Ar kansas to succeed Dr. John Il. Rey- holds, who rendered his resigna- ton to the board of trustees, de- claring that he would accept neith- CT the position of acting nor per manent president.
 The election of Prof. Futrall, while a surprise, is approved by those interested in the welfare of the university.
 Prof. Martin Nelson, acting dean of the college of agriculture, was named acting dean for another year. It is said that several well known educators applied for the position, among them George A. Cole, head of the state agricultural school of RussellVille, and V. c. Rays of the JonesborO agricultural school.
 While the selection of Prof Flu trail and Prof Nelson has met with general approval, the university is still without permanent heads. Both are considered valuable members of the faculty.

NO PAROLE NOW FOR LYMAN AND RIDL|NC
Gov. FutpelI Declines to Act, Saying Altitude of the Judge and Prosecutor Is Not EncOurag-
 ing to Clemency.

Governor FutreIl announces in a telegram to Senator F., J. Lundy, that he cannot at this time see his way to extend executive clemency to HarVe Riding and E. R. Lyman, the Mena men serving a term of one year in the penitentiary for perjury. He states that the attitude of Judge Jeff Bowling and Posecut- ing Attorney Abe Collins is not fla vorable to such action on his part.
 While en route home from the Confederate reunion at Chattanooga and visit to his son Paul at Bir- mingham, Ala. John H. Hamilton stopped off at Little Rock, expect ing, he says, that the men would be .paroled and he might be able to aid them in returning home. Find ing the governor had not acted, MT. Hamilton visited him personally in behalf of the prisoners, but was told in substance the same as above indicated.
 It was reported here last week that both the judge and prosecutor were favorable to a parole of the men, and that on that showing they were to be home early this week. To a Star representative AIr. Collins yesterday stated that this was an error, and that both he and the judge had maintained a strictly neutral position, leaving it to the governor tO act as he saw fit.
 The telegram received by Sena- tor Lundy from Governor Futrell follows:
 Little Rock, June fl. Elmer J. Lundy, Mena, Ark.
 Cannot see my way clear to take any action as yet. The attitude of the judge and prosecuting attorney not encouraging to executive elem ency. J. NJ. Futrell,

 May Act Promptly.

Little Rock, June ll.-Governor Futrell has requested the clerk of the Supreme court to supply him with the transcripts in the cases of Odus Davidson and Jessie Gaylord. both of whom were convicted of murder in the first degree, and whose sentences have been affirmed by the higher court.

 Governor Futrell will read the transcripts through carefully, also the decisions of the Supreme court in order to be prepared for peti- tions for communication of sentence, and to satisfy himself as 10 the guilt or innocence of the prisoners, that he may promptly set the date for executions when officially notified by the Supreme court of the affir- nation of the sentences.

Twenty-Five of Wild West" Sort Were "ShOOtin' Up a Town and Minister Marched Them

Grand Junction. Col. June 12.- Twenty-Five cowpunchers-the real "wild west" bind-rode into De- beque, a small town near here, yesterday on pleasure bent. Abe 0ng rangy cattle chaser. started She fun by calling the mayor of She town a liar Rather than sue for libel, the mayor knocked he pleasure seeker to sleep.
 Then the cowboys took matters into their own hands. They rode up and down the streets of the town, brandishing sixshooters and occasionally making a target of what happened 10 strike their fancy.
 The town constable, John Noble, found himself outnumbered and didn't have much luck rounding up the bunch-in fact, the bunch rounded up the constable. They were teasing that efficient officials when a calm voice interrupted the proceedings. Into the crowd, re- gardless of powder and smoke and an occasional wild bullet, stepped the Rev. A. F. Glover, 2 years old, and not very great of stature.
 Tt has gone far enough, boys,' he said quietly raising a hand.
 The cowboys paused. The raised hand held, not prayerbook, but a siXshOoter
 The pistols plea won, and the parson marched his captiyes to the jail in single file. although he had 10 coax a few with a threat
 The discussion hasn't been fln- ished, however, it appears.
 Friends of the subdued obtained warrant for the minister's arrest, charging him with carrying con- eealed weapons. The mayor order ed the city marshal not to serve the writ, but the cowboys and their friends will carry on the fight.
