DEATH BLOW DEALT
2-CENT FARE LAWS
Decision of Supreme Court in
South Dakota Express Case
Leaves Decisions to Inter
state Commission.

Washington, June I'm the South
Dakota express rate case the supreme
court today annuled i'll part, so far as
they exceeded the states powers, in
functions of state court against the
American and Wells-Fargo Express
companies which required them to
maintain certain lower intrastate rates
despite Interstate Commerce commits
sion tariffs permitting higher rates to
prevent discrimination against Sioux
City, la.
The court, through Justice Brandeis,
reaihrmed its ruling i'll the celebrated
Shreveport rate case and held that the
federal commission i'll regulating in
terstate rates has power to disturb
intrastate rates fixed by local state au-
thorities.
Passenger Rates Increase.
Chicago, June l2,-Every railroad
in Illinois ordered its agents TO sell
tickets, beginning today, at a rate of
"a cents a mile. The order applies
to intrastate and interstate traffic.
Representatives of the railroads said
the order was not in defiance OF re-
cent state court decisions regarding
the state 2-cent law, but in compli-
ance with an order issued last Friday
by Federal Judge Dwyer of the
United States circuit court at st
Louis, which empowered railroads to
increase their passenger fares on or
before June Il.
The 27cent passenger rate has been
effective in this state since July ],
1907. The rate of "a cents mile
for interstate passenger traffic in Hill
nos and neighboring states was fixed
by the Interstate Commerce commits
sion in December. 1915. =
Order Previously Determined.
Railroad men said tonight the order
for increasing passenger rates on the
twenty-nine lines operating in the
state was decided upon and issued to
agents before the decision in Wash
ington in the South Dakota rate case
was known.
The states affected by the Wash
ington decision of today are Ne
braska, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michi-
gan, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
South Dakota, Missouri and Kansas.

swAsHBUCKLERs THREE.
Molte. Won Fslkenhayn and Tirpits
Forced the War.

Syracuse Post standard: We are be-
ginning to get at some OF the truth
OF what went on behind the scenes at
Potsdam during the memorable July
three years ago. month full OF I'M
periai conferences. hurried consulta'
tions. saber rafting and mediation Of
fers. But are are long way from the
complete story.
We believe. and the world believes.
that the kaiser lied when he said he
knew nothing OF Austria's demands up
on Serbia, for we have proof that long
before the ultimatum was sent there
had been secre, council Of war in the
kaiser's stronghold. We have thinner
mann's additional admission that he
knew OF the ultimatum fourteen hours
before II was delivered.
In all the mass OF conflicting stories
surrounding the events preceding the
war. one of the most Interesting
though wholly circumstantial-is that
related of the kaiser and his satellites
Moltke. Falkenhayn and Tirpitz

ence. The emperor wanted to accept
Sir Edward Grey's offer of mediation
Ni bl tue Wal W
"Moltke. Falkenhayn and Tirpitz threw
their swords on the table and offered
their designations" The kaiser was
persuaded to go on with the war.
IL this is so. ii Is interesting TO see
what happened To the three swash-
bucklers of Potsdam.
Moltke was relieved of his position
when the drive on Paris failed. His
emperor held him responsible for the
disaster. for he was chief OF STAFF.
Moltke died in disgrace.
Falkenhayn. who succeeded him a.
chief OF stan, was driven from power
after his defeat at Verdun. For months
his name was not heard. He has been
restored TO "A subordinate command. but
one never hears OF further exploits of
'Falkenhayn's army"
As for Tirpitz. that gentleman held
command of the high seas fleet which
only twice ventured out upon the high
seas. until his demand for greater fright.
fulness brought about his downfall.
While the spirit Of frightfulness which
he conjured up still lives. its creator
