 Benefits of League.
 Under the plan pursued, no one IS injured, but everybody helped. The benefit of being member Of the housewives league is clearly explained by Mrs. J. Edward Hodges. president of the Houston Housewives league, who writes:
 "First of all it means organized buy CTS. The investigations we make and the discussions we enter into in or der to make better buyers of our selves, necessarily is educational. It makes us think. It brings to our mind things that we probably have not giy- en serious consideration before. It brings before us our own neglect or inefficiency. It shows us how much is required to make successful housewife. It raises housekeeping to a profession.
 "As organized buyers it is our duty to know market conditions. This means knowing the source of supply, wholesale and retail prices and whe- ther our food is handled in a cleanly manner. We do know that unneces- sary deliveries, slow payments of ac-

ROOSEVELT LOSES
 FIRST ROUND IN
 SUIT WITH BARNES
Former President Doesn't Want Germans on Jury in
 $50,000 Case.
(By James |, Montaeue ]

My J,
 Syracuse, N. r., April 19.-As his 1lrst line of defense in the S5O,O0O libel action brought against him by William Barnes, Theodore Roosevelt today set up the astonishing conten- ton that his scathing statements about the latter's boss methods made no personal charge and carried no lnnuendo. This was in the form of motion made by his attorney. John M. Bowers, to dismiss the complaint. It was promptly overruled by Justice Andrews and the case will go to trial on it's merits tomorrow
 The first days session filled the ury box with seven Republicans. three progressives and two Demo- crats, mostly young men and dis posed of all the preliminaries. Two of the jurors, bearing German names, were peremptorily challenged by the colonel after they had been asked if his recent attack on Germany for the violation of Belgiums neutrality would affect their judgment. They said no, but Roosevelt was not easy in his mind about them. and out they went. He also managed to get three of his own party on the jury, and to get rid of several persons who were too we'll acquainted with Mir. Barnes political adherents.
 Beaten in his first move, the colo nel will begin tomorrow an attempt to prove his charges against Barnes.
 The first witness will establish the {nf and published Tommie McGrath. the coloneI's secretary and several newspaper men, will be used for this purpose Then the real fighting will begin.

GRANTS RATE INCREASE.
Western Freight Tolls to Be Raised FoIlowsinc Interstate Boards Rulino.

Western Freight Tolls to Be Raised Following Interstate Boards Ruling.
 Washingten.-Th Interstate Com merceA Commissions decision in the application of forty-one Western rail- ways for an increase in freight rates has been reached.
 The decision grants liberal inereas- es, on the ground that the revenues Of Western railroads have not kept pace with the increasing cost of opera ton and because revenues now are too low to be for the best public in- terest.
 The commission points out to the railroads methods hy which they can better their position hg economies, such as eliminating many free sery. ices ta shippers and increasing eff eiency of organizations and equip ment.
 The grain-carrying roads of the Northwest will profit most largely by the decision. it is asserted.
 Grain. grain products. live stock, fresh meats and packing house prod nets. coal hay. fruits, vegetables and cotton piece goods were the princi- pal commodities on which the advance was sought.
 The railroads did not ask for a horizontal increase Of 5 per cent, as did the lines east of the Mississippi. but took up each commodity separate ly.
 The Western roads will be required to keep accurate account of the sums the rate increases yield. the implica- ton being that if returns prove ex- eessive the tariffs will be revised downward until proximated.
