reminded that soon the sons of these
men must accept and continue the
memorial day observances II they are
to be continued.
There were just eighteen of the Old
Boys in line TO head the procession
this year as they marched from the
meeting place in Odd Fellows hall at
1870 that morning and lessened
number of the order comprising the
wives of these old veterans. but no

crowds participating with the result
that there were more people at the
cemetery than ever before, and all

4 STATES WIN IN
RATE FIGHTS;
ONE LOSES
Supreme Court Decisions Against
Railroads Over Whole West.
Missouri Victory Partial.

WASHINGTON. June 16.-Four
States won victories and one lost
to-day in railroad rate decisions rem
dered by the United States Supreme
Court.
In the Missouri cases the State
won a partial victory. Six of nine de-
cisions were against the railroads.
There was no decision in the Nash
vile grain case.
The 2-cent passenger rate law Of
1907 Of the State of West Virginia
was declared valid. The Chesapeake
and Ohio sought an injunction on the
same grounds as those relied on by
railroads in other States that have
unsuccessfully fought the law.
Oregon Rates Upheld.
The Oregon rate cases. brought by
the Oregon Railway and Navigation
Company, We're decided in favor Of
the State.
The Arkansas State rate was de-
clared constitutional,
The Kansas law fixing a minimum
rate for the transportation Of oil and
charges was held unconstitutional
The six roads which will have to
abide by maximum rates fixed by
Missouri are the Chicago Burlington
and Quincy. the Sante Fe; Kansas
city Southern; Missouri, Kansas and
Texas; Chicago, Rock Island and Pa
cifc, including the St. Louis, Kansas
City and Coloroda and the ST. Louis
and San Francisco.
Three Cases Lost.
In three Missouri cases the rates
were held to be confisCatory. the St.
Louis and Hannibal, the Kansas City,
Clinton and Sprirofield and the Chi
cago and Great Western.
The decision in the Missouri cases
follows the principles laid down by
the Minnesota cases. The right Of
the State to regulate intrastate COM
merce is upheld. The rates so fixed
were held not to be contiscat9ry, ex-
cept i'm the cases of the smaller
roads.

PUT
Up To COUNCIL
BY MAYOR
Neither Approves Nor Disapproves
Resolution Calling for Option
on Electric Feature.

In notifying Council of his approval
# the June budget and the purchase
f the $4,000 crematory, Mayor
Woodward Monday washed his
hands" Of that part of the old Gre
matory contract providing a 100000
electric power plant in connection
With the incinerator.
The Mayor notified Council he
would take no action whatever on
the resolution of Alderman Nutting
and Councilman Mason calling for an
option from the Destructor Compa-
ny on the electric feature. Because
he took no action the resolution au-
tomatically goes into effect.
Mayor Woodward's special mes
sage reads:
Il return the accompanying three
resolutions passed at your session Of
June 2, 1913. without my signature of
approval or disapproval.
The whole subject matter con-
tanned in all three of the resolutions
can be carried out by the framing of
a contract with the Destructor Com
pany incorporating the different mat
ters contained in the resolutions.
by careful reading Of the different
resolutions 1t will be noted that your
honorable body has repeatedly men
toned the contract entered into in
1912, which the Supreme Court of this
State has decided illegal and void and
ordered an injunction against the
further carrying on of the Destructor
plant under the provisions of that
contract. Under that condition OF
things. l feel that I am enjoined
against any measure that may be
looking to the fulfillment Of that con-
tract. All Of the provisions specified
in the different resolutions can be
placed in a new contract to be en-
tered into by your general body.
I'm returning these papers to the
General Council in this manner, !
hope that my position is fully under
stood. While I do not believe that
the city has received full benefit from
this transaction, yet / do not feel dis
posed to interfere further IL the new
contract is so constructed as to give
the city the benefit of all of the con-
Cessions enumerated
