RAILROADS THREATEN CUTS

jefferson City, Dec. 1S.-Railroads
operating in Missouri will be COM
PEELED to reduce greatly the passen-
ger and mail Accommodations if the 2
cent passenger rate is adhered to
much longer, according to testimony
of Alexander Hilton, general passen-
ger agent of the st. Louis & San
Francisco frisco Railroad, before
the public utility commission here.
Mr.. Hilton spoke for all he rail-
roads of the state in a plea for per-
mission to increase freight and pas
senger rates. The cutting of oper-
ating expenses, he said would be the
railroads only means of avoiding the
bankruptcy courts under present
rates.
The fact that the Missouri rate is
lower than the interstate rate, he tes-
titled, enabled passengers to defeat
the interstate rate by purchasing
tickets at points within the state.
Low passenger rates, he said, did not
tend to increase travel.
Through passenger trains would
be the first to be withdrawn in the
policy of retrenchment, according to
Mr.. Hilton, and eventually all traffic
in Missouri would be carried by local
trains.

CARPENTERS sISTER-IN-
LAW AIDING THE STATE

Paragould, Ark, Dec. 1.-THE
State closed their case against M. P.
Carpenter, late Wednesday afternoon,
claiming to have offered new wit
nesses whose testimony was very
damaging to the former Mexico mar
charged with the murder of his moth
er-in-law, Mrs. Davis. Mrs. Juett, of
California, daughter of Mrs. Davis
and a sister of Mr.. Carpenters wife,
is aiding the State in the work of
fastening the crime, if possible, upon
her brother-in-law.
The State, through its witnesses, at
tempted to prove that if Carpenters
story was true he could have pre-
vented the escape of the criminals as
a revolver was found beneath his pill
low and other firearms were in the
house. DR.. J. F. Wood testified that
Carpenter told him, shortly after the
CRIME that 'this has been brewing fol
nine years" H. D. Lawrence, a state
witness gave evidence decidedly fav-
orably to the defense.
Dwight Blackwood, a deputy sher.
if, testified to blood spots on a bow
and pitcher in the room occupied b!
Mrs. Davis. The blood spots appear
ed to have been made by hands thai
