An order by Justice Hitz, OF the

day requiring him to show cause on
November II why the Milwaukee
Leader should not enjoy the privi-
leges Of the United States mails after
being deprived of the same by the
Postoffice Department on October ,

In a petition for a mandamus the
Milwaukee Social Democratic Pub

THREE HORSES KILLED,
40 HURT, IN TRAIN JAR

Three army horses were instantly
killed and forty others so seriously
injured they likely will have to be
shot when the car in which they were
travelling was suddenly jolted, throw
ing most OF the animals of their feet
near Lanham, Nd, early this morn
Ing. All the injuries were occasioned
by the flying hoofs OF the animals as
they strove to regain their feet. The
car was attached to a troop train on
the Pennsylvania railroad, north
bound from this city.
1t Is said that the train, consisting
OF two cars full OF soldiers and a
number OF freights containing horses
and equipment, presumably OF a field
artillery unit, parted couplings at
Lanham, the troops being left behind
on the tracks. In his anxiety to stop
and recoupIe the missing cars, the
engineer jammed down his brakes,
and the resulting stop threw a few
horses on their feet.

FOR FREIGHT RISE

Asserting net earnings are steadily
declining despite greatly increased
traffic and more efficient management
Eastern railroads today renewed pleas
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission for higher freight rates.
The hearing was regarded as the
most important in years as West
ern lines also are expected to follow
with a request for more revenues.
Chief railroad counsel George Stuart
Patterson in opening declared that
1917 expenses will increase S2dO,OOO,-
600 over 1916, but that rate advances
allowed last June 80 would bring only
S97 ,0OO. 900 increased revenues.
Some Of the leading railroad men in
the country-Presidents Smith, Of the
New York Central; Rea, OF the Penn
sylvania, and Underwood. Of the Erie
made personal appeals.
Railroad employees are deserting to
the higher paid munition trades, Pat
terson stated, although the railways
annual wage increase is S1O2 ,OOo,o

FOR XMAS SHOPPING

To make Christmas shopping easier
Isaac Cans, treasurer of saks & Co.,
has sent an appeal to the Board OF
Education to have the schools close
one week before Christmas, so mer-
chants may employ the students to

cause of the war every merchant in
the city found II practically impossi-
BILE to employ additional help. He
believes II the schools will release the
