PROPOSED SETTLEMENT
Iron Mountain and Cotton Belt Rate
 Cases Refund.

Cases Refund.
 "The Master in the rate cases of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern Railway Company and the St. Louis Southwestern Railway Company filed his report in December, allowing over million dollars freight and passen- ger claims against those roads as over charges during the time the State freight and passenger rates were un- der injunction, and disallowing two or three hundred thousand dollars claims to which disallowance numerous ex- captions have been filed.
 "The railroad companies have filed exceptions to all of the claims allowed by the Masters denying liability on all of them on many grounds and questioning the sufficiency of the proof in many cases, and also on the ground that many of the shipments were in- terstate and not intrastate shipments. The State has intervened and prays that from the refunds allowed that it be reimbursed for the S65,00O which it has expended in defense of the rate suits and for such further sums as it has incurred for counsel
 "The following offer of compromise has been made:
 "The railroads will, HE;rc@ Dox, ecE Qnn ninety days.
 "Second.-Pay all expenses of the Masters office and court costs.
 "Third.-Pay all passenger claims in full, without interest, in transfer able intrastate mileage; good for two years.

 "(a) The railroads will reserve the right to try all exceptions as to du- plications and clerical errors, the de- cision of the District Court on these exceptions to be final.
 "(b) The railroads will reserve the rights to try exceptions as to rough material claims and all excep- tions as to claims as interstate.
 "Fifth.-The right is reserved to holders of all rejected claims who have excepted them, to contest the dis al lowances. The contested claims are not included in the settlement. + claimants win, they will get full pay ment; if they lose. they will get noth- ing.
 "The Railroad Commission desires that all interested passenger and shippers appear before it on the fif- teenth day of February, 1913, at 10 o'clock a. m. when a full hearing will be had as to the advisability of ac- Icepting said compromise.

 ONE DOLLAR AN SIXTY FIVE

Chicago, Feb. 4.-Although the opening of the wheat market today was the steadiest in some time it was not long before prices advanced. May rose to $1.63 as against $1.59 IA last night and July to S1.41 1-2, compared with calling attntion to the prospect that the United States would be called upon heavily for wheat had much in fluence toward encouraging buyers. Besides there appeared to be evidence of renewed foreign demand here and of export sales over night. Despite heavy margins, trading was lively.
 In the last hour the market went to $1.65 for May, influenced by advices that Europeans were taking flour as we'll as wheat for export Cash wheat sold at $1.66 1-2, equalng the top for May options.
 Chicago, Feb 4.-Bulls in the wheat market were quick today to utilize President Wilson's speech as a help to overcome yesterdays big drop in price The market was also assisted by signs of fresh purchasing here for European account. After opening 1sc off toasc higher the market advanced point. |2B @3ssc above last night Big mar gins failed to check activity. Corn showed some heaviness at the start but rallied sharply when wheat started upward in earnest. The open | ing, Ac off to like advance, was fol lowed by a material rise all around.

 Cash houses led the buying.
 Outside investors gave unusual sup port to provisions.
 Profit taking by longs and the slow ness of Eastern demand caused some thing of setback later in corn.

and he can now display as much
velocity with a ball as he ever could
in his career. The result is that his
work is easier than 1t used to be. be-
cause there is less strain on his pitch
ing arm.
Johnson's performance Saturday
was nothing short OF brilliant. In the
first six innings only IS men came to
the plate, and the man making the
only hit, Cobb. died trying to steal
second. Johnson retired after the
seventh inning. In which the game
was cinehed. and Ayers took his place.
The Virginia twirler also was effec-
tive, allowing but a single hit during
his stay on the mound. johnson had
but two days rest between his last
game and when he wen on the rubber
Saturday, and, IL anything, he looked
more finished than in any Of his pre-
vious games.
