NEW DEVELOPMENTS
IN STATE RATE CASES

Washington, April 21.-An unexpect-
ed development in the state rate cases
which have been pending before the su
nreme court for more than year oc
Cured today when the department of
justice obtained the permission of the
court to file a brief as friend OF
the court
The contention of the government in
the brief was that the Interstate COM
merce commission is supreme over
state rate making bodies and may an
nul state regulations in the disguise
oe state rates when interstate COM
merce is affected substantially thereby.
The brief was a copy of one filed by
the government recently in the "Shreve-
port rate case In the commerce court.
In it the government upheld the right
cf the interstate commerce commission
to require the railroads to reduce in
terstate rates from Louisiana to Texas
points or increase rates in Texas. Tie
commission had held that the action OF
the Texas authorities in requiring low
rates on state shipments so as to pro-
tect home industries was dscrim-
ination against interstate commerce.
1t is not believed that the action to-
day will delay the decision of the rate
cases, which is expected any Monday.

Dunbar. mother of Charles Dunbar. the
4-year-old boy who was kidnapped at
Opelousas, La, last August, after her
arrival here tonight, was unable TO say
whether the child found here is her son.
She believes 1t is possible that the boy's $

have made SO great a change in his ap-

the boy is their son because of certain
scars and blemishes about his body.

deputy sheriff where the baby is being
kept The little fellow was asleep. Mrs.
Dunbar took him in her arms and tried
to awaken him, but he would not open
his eyes. After repeated efforts, Mr..

MEASURE A|MEDA At
HUNGER STRIKERS.
English House of Commons
Takes Up Militant
PrOblent

London, April 21.-The bill aimed at
hunger strikes by militant suffragettes,
came up for discussion in the house Of
commons today. Home Secretary Nc
Kenna appealed for urgent action be-
cause, pending the passage of the bill, he
felt it his duty to continue forcible feed
Ing, which he was desirous of avoiding.
At the same time he refused TO accept an
amendment prohibiting forcib1e feeding
for the reason that he wished to retain
power to resort to this method when in
his opinion the release of hunger striker
might endanger public interests.
The bill provides for the temporary tra-
tertion is undesirable on account of their
condition of health. Prisoners discharged
in this way would have to return to prison
on the expiration of the period stated in
their order of release, or would be liable
to arrest without a warrant.
Numerous amendments were proposed
both for and against the suffragettes' in
terests. but all were opposed by the gov
ernment, apparently with view to expe-
"
get it through the committee stage with
out change. All the amendments were
rejected or withdrawn and after several
hours discussion Mr. McKenna applied
closure amid strong protests and the
first clause was adopted by vote of 3'os
to 30.
The remaining caluses were then adopt
ed and the bill passed through commit
tee unamended.
Property belonging to Duchess Adeline
OF Bedford, an ardent suffragette. was
levied on today for npnpayment of her
taxes. A silver cup was taken to sat
isfy the claims.
The duchess took this means Of show
ms her hostility to the taxation of wom-
er while they are still without the fran

SUPPOSED TELEGRAM

gram filed al Vevey last Friday say

friend of Joseph w. Martin makes it
apparent that the message was not
banded in at the telegraph office by
the missing Memphis cotton dealer and
Il is now practically certain that he

Further inquiries tend to show that
the sender of the telegram was beau

as Martins emissary.
The American legation at Berne has
officially announced that 1t has no
knowledge that Martin is staying IN
Switzerland, and consequently the news
that the police intend to arrest him in
