That the Comedy Of Errors which
will be given at the Grand theatre at
a matinee performance tomorrow aft

shown by the unusual interest which
is being taken in the production by
citizens generally. The members of
the cast had a dress rehearsal before
several critics at the Grand this after
noon. The excellence Of the scenery
and beauty of the costumes won the
praise of all who had the privilege of
witnessing the performance.

IOWA ENTERS IN .
BATTLE TO STOP
RATE INCREASE
State Railroad Commission
to Take Part in Suit Now
Before the Interstate
Commerce Body.
tBY ORA WILLIAMS

Des Moines, May ia monster
legal battle with $50.0O0.OO0 a year
prize, and more later, is one in which
the state of Iowa, on behalf Of all the
people OF Iowa, Is about to engage.
1t has been definitely decided the
state OF Iowa Is going to take hand
| in the controversy over the freight
rates which has been precipitated by
the railroad magriates, not now at
least in opposition to the demanded
I s per cent increase In rates, but to the
extent OF insisting that an exhaustive
Investigation OF the facts shall be
made before any such proposal Is
given serious consideration
This is to be the biggest legal fight
over the freight tax ever planned.
Iowa had hand in the last one and
helped to prevent the increase; this
time Iowa is going in deeper and more
fully equipped than ever before, pre-
pared to compel a showing of every
fact of interest and to secure the pro-
lection of Iowa people. The railroad
commission will take 1t up right at the
start and with the assistance Of the
commerce counsel will appear before
the Interstate commerce commission
at every hearing and in all arguments.
The Iowa commission has entered OF
record an. order to that effect. The
secretary, under instructions, has filed
a formal protest with the commission
at Washington. which puts Iowa into
the class officially.
The proposed advance would mean
"A cents increased cost for every hun
dred pounds of freight into Iowa from
the far east, on first class, with lesser
sums on other classes. %
The advance would mean an increase
in the cost of anthracite coal wher-
ever 1t Is used.
The advance would mean an increase
in price OF hundreds of articles of daily
use, in fact, everything which comes
from the Atlantic seaboard. r.
The Iowa railroad commission now
has fully equipped rate bureau pre-
pared to make investigations. The
case will be in the personal charge of
Clifford Thorne and the entire CON-
mission consisting of himself and
Messrs. Ketchum and Palmer, with
Counsel Henderson, will attend the
hearings The commission will take
the position that If the increase is
clearly Justified 1t should be granted,
but that a positive showing Of such
necessary must first be made. The
case will probably take year or more
ito present. '

KENYON OFFERS
AN AM Mt
. To TARIFF BILL
Iowa Senator Would Re-
move Duties on Products
on Which a Monopoly is
Obtained.

Washington, D. c., May 19.-An
amendment of the tariff bill introduced
today by Senator Kenyon proposed
that when any corporation or concern
was adjudged monopoly its products
should automatically 60 on the free
list. Mr.. Kenyon has hope that the
finance committee may favorably con-
slider the amendment, but If not he
will press it on the floor The proposal
has almost unlimited possibilities for
overturning schedules.
The question of whether products of
concerns reorganized since the su-
preme court held them to be mon
opolies, might still be under monopol-
istic control, also would enter into the
yon amendment be incorporated.
Sub-committees of the finance COM
mittee plan to meet every day this
week to consider the wool, cotton,
sugar and chemical schedules OF the
tariff Manufacturers are pleading to
be heard against the rates of the Un-
derwood bill.
Chairman Simmons has called q
meeting of the entire finance commit
tee for tomorrow. A set Of questions
to manufacturers proposed by Senator
LaFollette are to be sent out.
Kern Matter Up.
Senator Kern's resolution to investi-
gate conditions in the West Virginia
coal strike region was again the un-
finished business when the senate met
today and although several senators
planned to discuss the need for an in
quiry vote was expected before ad-
journment.

BREAK IN RANKS OF
STRIKING WORKERS

i Paterson, N. IT,. May 19. Through
a lane OF police two blocks long
twenty hands formerly employed by
the, silk mill of the Arthur Price Co.
went back to work today after q
strike of more than two months
Hundreds of pickets Of the Industrial
Workers of the World sought to pre-
vent their return, but the police
guard was too effective. There was a
lively scrimmage for time and sixty
pickets were arrested
The Price mill is comparatively
small one, employing normally thirty
hands. The return of it's strikers with
demands unsatisfled, Is heralded by
the manufacturers as meaning the
near end Of the strike. Leaders, of the
Industrial Workers Of the World, on
the other hand, maintain that the
fight will go on unabated and that
few others will yield! a
