Interstate Commerce Makes Import
ant Dec sion Relativcto Inter-
est on Such Claims.

Tho following conference ruling
27g Of Bulletin No. 6 of the Inter
state Commerce Commission, will
prove of interest to Cairo shippers
1t was given to The Bulletin by r..
NJ. Ducker, traffic manager ofthc
Board of Trade and embraces in
formation upon interest upon over
charge claims.
1t is the view of the Commission
that in the settlement of an over
charge claim (by which is meant
the amount collected ON shipments
in excess Of the legally published
rate) the claimant is entitled to in-
terest thereon at the rate of 6 per
cent per annum from from the date
of such improper collection.
The Commission does not regard 1t
as unlawful for a claimant to ac-
cent in satisfaction of his claim the
ascertaincd amount Of an overcharge
without interest; and the Commits
sion is Of the opinion that when such
refund is made by the carrier with
in 30 days after the improper col
lection OF the overcharges it may be
regarded, in accordance with we'll
established usage, as a cash trans
action upon which interest does not
accure.
The views as expressed in this
ruling shall be understood 1as ap-
plying to all pending and unsettled
overcharge claims, and to those aris-
ing in the future, but not as au-
thorizing or requiring the reopening
of any, claim which has been settled
and closed by the acceptance by n
claimant Of the amount OF an over
charge without interest.

"Safe and Sane" Movement Has

Many Deaths Due to Improper
Handling of Crowds.

New York, July 5.-While the move
ment for safety and sanity in the cele-
bration of Fourth of July worked won
ders in the reduction of the number of
victims of gunpowder, dispatches
from score of different points
throughout the country, as noted here,
accounty for IL persons killed in a va
riety of other accidents incident to
the outpouring of the holiday crowds.
Twenty eight persons were drowned,
five in a single train accident and two
killed in aeronautic sports. This count
being made from the comparatively
few reports of minor tragedies f1ltering
through the crush of holiday news out
nur bers more than twice the gunpow-
der accidents of the day. The list of
drowning accidents, known definitely
to be as many as % is probably far
from the correct total. Such tragedies
are so frequent that unless two or
more are victims at a time, the acci-
dents are not reported. In this city
and vicinity alone there were ten
drownings yesterday, and the New
England divers reported five. There
were six in the Ohio river at Louis
vile. KY, three at Lacrosse, Wis,
three at Pittsburg and one at Buffalo.
Incidental to the day there were also
five persons killed by lightning. one
variety of holiday tragedy that the
safe and sane movement is unable to
reach.

over 200 ENTRIES
Many New Horses to Appear at
the State Fair.
The 2:25 Pace the Most Popu-
lar in the List.

Fast and exciting horse races arc
assured for the state fair at Topeka
September S-12. Announcement was
made today by the management of the
fair association that the early closing
purses attracted the best race men OF
the middle west to the extent of en-
tering 200 horses.
Some of the horses familiar to those
who attend the annual races on the
fair grounGs, will be here and there
will be others that have not been seen
on the tracks before, but which have
speed. E. L. Peckham, of the Chicas-
k4a stock farm of Blackwell, Ok.
who is one of the big race horse men
of the country, will be here with
half dozen of his fastest horses.
The most popular offering in the
list proved to be the 2:25 pace which
has a 5000 purse attached. For this
race there are 29 entries. One of the
best races will doubtless be the PA
pace with a purse of $1,000 and which
attracted 20 entries.
The only races not filling were the
free-for-all trot and the free-for-aH
pace. They have been reopened with
purses for $40O each to close August 25.
The management is particularly
pleased with the way the colt purses
filled. AS the trctting rules bar hop
pies, it is often difficult to fill these
purses.
The showing this year is remarkably
good in consideration of the fact that
no race man was allowed to enter a
horse for more than one race for Il
single entrance fee. Last year that
could be done. In the races there Will
be 1872 different horses.
The number of entries for the indi-
vidual races are: 2:30 trot with a purse
of $500, 25; 2:20 trot with $500 purse,
20; 2:15 trot with $1,000 purse, %; g.,
