SEEK ANARCHIST PLOTTERS.
cRoNES' TAUNTS IN LETTERS
SPUR NEW YORK SEARCH.
Detectives Redouble Eneeies in Hunt
for Man Wanted for Poisoning
Soup at Chicago Banquet.

New York, N. Y.-Spurred by a
second letter haunting the police for
their inability to find him, detectives
searched New York for Jean Crones,
anarchist, wanted for the attempted
poisoning of 300 guests at the Mum
delein banquet in Chicago. That
Crones is seeking safety from cap
ture by mingling daily with the met
ropolitan crowds, meanwhile planning
further attempts against society, was
the belief of Police Captain Tunney
of the bomb squad, directing the
search.
The second letter, supposedly from
Crones, addressed to a New York
newspaper, flouted the public and was
marked by his finger prints. The let
ter welcomed the coming of the Chi
cago detectives to help in the search
for him, asserting Crones had some
thing to 'let go" when they arrived.
Police trailed the letter back to the
~substation where the stamp was can
celed and decided it was mailed in an
office building mail chute or a street
box. Special details of detectives went
through the district where the let
tiers were believed to have been
5mailed.

Many Prisoners ParoIed.

Owing to the congested condition
of the Missouri penitentiary, the par
don board has considered many ap-
plications for parole and pardon in
the past few weeks. So many C
concentrations have been made to
the chief executive that he has exer-
cised his privileges freely, and num-
erou felons CD are now enjoying
clemency. More good can be accom-
plished in this manner than in the
everlasting insistence en- the full pay
ment of the Mound of flesh. First
offenders r usually given another
chance to make good in the world
before they are utterly condemned.
The governor will make many friends
if he continues to exercise his pre-
negatives in a merciful manner.

ROADS FORBIDDEN
To RAISE RATES
COURT HOLDS SERVICE BODY
HAS NO POWER TO up
SET STATUTE.
RAIL LINES TO TAKE APPEAL
New Rates Would Have Been Effective
March I, But Judge Slate Says
Maximum Rate Has Been
Fixed by Legislature.
jefferson City.


An appeal to the supreme court
will be taken from the ruling of Judge
Slate of the Cole County Circuit
Court that the public service commits
i has no power to change a maxi
mum rate fixed by the legislature.
Under the last order of the commits
sion, the date for the new rates to
become effective was fixed as March
l. Most of the roads have fled their
schedules under this order, which
provides for an increase of s per
cent in freight rates and one-half a
cent per mile for passengers not usins
1,000-mile books.
The order of Judge Slate automat-
fcally will prevent the railroads from
putting the higher rates into effect
until the supreme court takes final
action on the constitutional question.
Judge Slate ruled that the Wabash
and the Chicago & Alton Railroads
cannot maintain separate litigation in
his court, involving the power of the
commission to make and enforce
higher freight and passenger rates.
Both companies sought to have the
order dismissing the proceedings
against all the railroads so modified
as not to apply to them. This the
court also denied.
M. E. Rhodes was attorney for the
shippers.

Two Branches of Government consid-

Attacks on Armed Liners.

Washington, D. C.-Two branches

sfdered formulation of policies re-
garding submarine warfare. With ne
gotlations between the state depart
ment and the German embassy appar-
emily at a standstill for the moment,
President Wilson and his cabinet and
the senate debated the nations future
course,
Support from both Republicans and
Democrats in the senate was prom
ised for the administrations stand
against recognition of Germany's new
admiralty order to sink armed mer-
chantmen without warning, beginning
March 1.
The cabinet meeting had to consid-
er the question of whether a formal
protest would be made to Germany
against the new decree. 1t was be-
lieved the administration would de-
eide against a preliminary protest
and await actual developments.
Administration leaders professed to
place little reliance in suggestions
from German Ambassador Bernstorff
that Germany might postpone the pro-
posed campaign against armed mer-
chant vessels. State department Of

ton was made on his own responsible
lty, without authority of the Berlin
foreign office and prompted by a de-
sire to get immediate settlement of
the L%usitania case.
Germany, though displeased by this

Lusitania concessions, was not likely
to withdraw her last note and terms
OF settlement, it was thought.

caIIs stoekhoIdens aeeese.s

Coincident with the withdrawal OF
the motion filed for rehearing by the
Frisco reorganization committee, the
public service commission has re
ceiyed B. F. Yoakum's brief com
menting upon the plan of the New
York fnanciers for recognizing the
road.
At one point in the brief it is de
clared that the stockholders are
geese to be plucked and they will be
lucky If sheir feathers hold out"
This was. said in a discussion of the
reorganization expenses.
The Yoakum brief, which was pre-
pared by Senator James A. Reed, s.
s. Gregory, Martin w. Littleton and
Salmon o. Levinson, was compiled
and mailed in ignorance of the fact
that the Seligman and Speyer con-
Germs, reorganization managers, had
mailed notices to the commission to
withdraw their motion for a rehear.
ing opposed in the Yoakum brief.
Attorneys for the reorganization
managers advised the commission
that it is their intention to bring
out a plan which they trust will be
considered by the commission to con
form to their views."'
The Yoakum brief assails the con
tention made by H. S. Priest and R.
T. Swaine in their motion for the
%rehearing, that the commission is a
purely administrative body with no
discretionary power.
Touching the argument advanced
by the attorneys for reorganization,
that the commission was without jul
risdiction to inquire into the dispo-
sition of securities or to concern it.
self with the details of the plan, the
Yoakum brief says that this question
is n of the Oldest bubbles ever
raised as to the legality of any plan
of action, and that it is resorted to
only when there is no other hope OF
gaining the ends sought.

Set Upon by Trusty.

The ruse of the prisoners for effect

ed up a garage and asked that an
automobile be sent at once to the Jail
1T is the sheriff talking" the pris-
oner using the telephone said, land
we want to take a sick man to Fay,
wood Springs, Bring an extra tire
and $40 in change"
When the automobile reached the
Jail the driver was invited inside the
Jail, where he was seized and locked
up. Five of the prisoners, locking the
Jail door, got into the car.
Cranston, the only prisoner &C.
quainted with the operation of an au,
tomobile, took the wheel and first
drove to the armory of the Deming
militia company, and, looting it Of
rifles and ammunition the prisoners
set out in the machine in the direc,
ton of Rincon, to the northeast.
The jailer, locked up by the prison
ers, himself broke Jail by picking a
lock, and notified Sheriff Stevens. The
sheriff organized a posse and, filing
volunteer automobiles with citizens,
set out in pursuit of the prisoners.

posse and the prisoners.
After the sheriff and Cranston had

Land Ernk Promises Cheap Money.

Land Ernk Promises Cheap Money.
The Gardner State Land Bank Act
foreshadows a day of redemption for
M~1ssouri's land owning farmers. The
purpose of this act is to encourage
agriculture and the development and
Improvement of farm lands in Mis-
souri,. These are ~commendable OBJ
jects and are worthy the support of
all citizens who have the welfare of
the state at heart.
The state of Missouri comes to the
rescue of its own struggling land
owners by proposing to advance the
sum of one million dollars as a loan.
OF this amount, 100000 is to be
loaned to farmers on first MORTGAGES
at 4 per cent interest, and one-half Der
cent in addition for the purpose OF
establishing a reserv fund. This plan
aims to give loans TO farmers on mort
cages at the cheap rate of 4 As per
cent
On this basis no commission nor re-
newal charges can be made; and the
farmer himself determines what his
annual or semi-annual payments shall
be and how long the loan shall Ii,
which cannot be less than five years
nor more than rs years. All fear of
foreclosure is removed as long as the
payments are made regularly, and
every ~precaution is taken to protect
the borrower against injustice and
the investor against loss.
The principle set forth in the land
bank literature cites numerous cases
and examples Of exactly how the act
will take effect. The borrower him
self is allowed to fix the amount he
wishes to borrow, within reason, and
when he makes an interest payment
he also reduces the amount of the
principal until at the expiration of a
given period, principal and interest
have both automatically disappeared.
