INTERSTATE coMMIS SSIoN UP
HELD IN INTERMoUNTAIN CASE

Washington, June 22.-The Inter
state Commerce Commissions socailed
Intermountain rate orders were sus-
tanned as valid today by the supreme
court, which held at the same time.
that the long and short haul clause
Of the interstate commerce law was
constitutional Both had been attack
ed by the transcontinental railroads.
The defunct commerce court, passing
over the constitutional question, had
annulled the orders on the ground that
the commission had no authority to is
sue blanket" or zone" orders and
might act only on the reasonableness
OF specific rates. In overturning that
contention toady. and holding that the
commission did have such power, the
supreme court decided a point which
lawyers and close observers of the In
terstate Commerce Commission's pro-
cedure say is of equal importance to
the intermountain rate case itself.

A PROMINENT moNTROSE
WOMAN WANTS DIVORCE

By her attorney. Charles ]. Moyni-
han, Mrs. Hester Ann O'NeiIl has filed
the largest and most sensational di-
vorce suit against her husband, James
'O'Neill, that has ever been recorded
in the office OF the district court OF
this county.
Many of the charges preferred in
the complaint are unprintable and
cover several pages of closely type
written matter. The plaintiff alleges
the most inhuman cruelty perpetratei
against her for the % years of their
married life and the names of four
women are mentioned in the COM
plant. She charges that her husband
is a drunkard and gets on a spree
from u to 90 times each year and
when in this condition he INDUCES in
the most inhuman abuses toward her,
so much that she is now almost a ply
sical wreck.
She seeks for complete separation,
the custody of the two children, 5000
month for maintenance OF herself
and children during the pendency of
the suit, $3.50 for costs of suit and
$4,000 attorneys fees.

ward through the capitals of North
and South Carolina. and terminating
at Atlanta
The American Highway association
will enlist the support of the counties
and districts traversed by the road
and wherever possible, induce the 10
cal authorities to place the road under
the supervision OF government en-
gineers who will be detailed from the
office OF public roads for that pur
pose under the cooperative arrange
ment
Probably 75 per cent. OF the total
mileage has already been improved by
a surfacing OF stone. gravel or a mix
ture of sand and clay. The object OF
the maintenance scheme is to prevent
the improved portions of the road from
deteriorating from lack of suitable
care, and to make the unimproved
portions as comfortable for travel as
possible with the money available
With the cooperation of all different
communities, however. il is hoped
that concerted work will be under
taken on the entire stretch OF high
way. resulting in a continuous main
tenance object lesson that will be a
stimulus to maintenance throughout
the country. The American Highway
association has undertaken to raise
the money for the travelling expenses
OF the engineers who will supervise
the work.
Leonard Tufts is chairman of the
committee designated by the associa-
ton TO have charge OF the campaign,
and has already arranged to place
ll0 miles under government engi'
neers. 1t is expected that all coun-
ties traversed by the road will cheer
fully enter into the arrangement, as
II is a long step toward a continuous
stretch of road that will benefit the
entire seaboard.

Members Are Taken Into The

Bowling Green, KY. Feb. ia
rather anomalous religious situation
developed last Thursday night when
several persons were received into
the membership of the State-street
Methodist church at the First Chris
tan church. This was due to the
fact that they insisted upon baptism
by immersion, a rite that could not
be administered at the State-street
church because it is without bap-
tistry. The actual immersion was
performed by the pastor of the
Christian church, the pastor of the
State-street church saying the words
that made the applicants members
of the Methodist church.
So far as known this is the first
incident of the kind in this section
of Kentucky.

SEVERAL REPORTS RECEIVED
Reported On Work
Now In The Hands OfSpec-
ial Committees.

The Hopkinsville Business Mems
Association met Monday night in
postponed session, with Vice-Presi-
dent W. r Wheeler, in the chair.
Reports from several outstanding
committees were received.
The creamery committee reported
progress and that another meeting
would be held soon to discuss sewer
connections. The Water Company
had agreed to give very low rate.
The tuberculosis Sanitorium Com
mite reported that the Fiscal Court
had promised favorable considera-
ton. The Good Roads committee
reported that from rs to 85 farmers
were now using the King Drags on
sections of county roads and doing
good work. Secretary Bleich re-
ported the organization of perma-
nent Good Roads Association.
Chairman Gary reported that the
Commission form bill had passed the
Senate and the re classification bill
would pass the House Tuesday. Both
were unopposed and would become
laws.
Following the discussion of good
roads, the subject of good streets
came up for attention and after sew
eraf speeches a motion was adopted
authorizing the appointment of {
committee to wait upon the council
and ask for bond issue of 100000
to construct permanent streets, in
the event an election was called for q
school bond issue, both to be voted
on at the same time. Jas. o. Cook,

And Changed to Obligations To
Be Assumed By
City.
MATTERS UP.
For Consideration By The City
COucnil at Its Meeting
Friday Night.

At conference between the City
Council and the Board of Trustees Of
the Public Schools the School Board
reported its inability to conduct the
school on its present revenues and
retire the $66, 900 of bonds issued in
1910 and 1912 to build the high
school, and will ask that the school
bonds be refunded and assumed by
the city itself.
The Council provided $40, 900 i'm
cash to purchase the lot and $40, 600
from the sale of bonds and in addi-
ton paid the first installment Of in
interest 81, 100 and donated 81 200
for the colored schools and $500 to
the West Side school pavement in
1913, total of $50, 800. The coun-
ty paid 81, 900 on compromise of joint
interests and entered into a contract
to pay $4,000 in buttons in five
years, which was expected to be
enough to finish the building. The
city borrowed SO, 800 last year pend
ing the collection of the county con-
tract money, but the Board now finds.
that the county's funds will be need
ed to operate the school and they
see no way to pay the building bal
ance of SO, 700Iincluding interest,
drawn from their tuition funds.
without shortening the current term.
At the Council meeting tomorrow
night the Council will be asked to
give the schools S66, 900 outright, by
voting the indebtedness on all city
property instead of upon that
subject to taxation for white
schools only. 1t will be also asked.
that bond issue of $14,00 for the
erection of another colored school
building be submitted to a vote.
This will be a complete change from
the present plan of maintaining the
schools separately, one race not vOt-
ing in any matters pertaining to the
schools of the other. The white
schools are operating under a special
act passed in 1879 and are provided
with building funds and operating
funds by tax limited to so cents ON
the property of white people only
and a share of the taxes on franch S.
es, together with the State per cap
tia. The Council has power to pass,
an ordinance accepting the provis-
ions for fourth class cities, under the.
present constitution, consolidating
all schools white and colored, under
one Board of Education, in which,
event all votes, white and colored,
male and female, would be entitled
to vote for the same bond issue.
