REPRESENTATIVES SHIPPING
 INTERESTS RETURN

Little Rock, March 20.-Chairman T. E. Wood and Rate Expert H. M. Gregory of the Railroad Commission, returned yesterday from New Orleans where they appeared with the repre- sentatives of other shipping interests, before Interstate Commerce Commis- sioner Gibson.
 They had under consideration cases involving the cancellation of num- Der of Rock Island and Iron Mountain jobbing rates from Little Rock, Pine Blue, Dermott, Eldorado and Louis jana points. The proposed cancella- tion of these issues, combined with certain heavy proposed advances, ac- cordng to the Railroad Commission, has the effect of making rates not only unreasonable in themselves, but discriminatory, by exhibits which the Railroad Commission filed and testi- mony showing the unreasonableness and discrimination.
 The Railroad Commission feels that when all the evidence is before the

SUPREME COURT UPhOLDS ENTIRE
 ADAMSON LAW
Basic Eight-Hour Day Sustained by Highest Tribunal-Gives Congress Power to Arbitrate Labor Disputes.

Washington, March 19.-In an epochal decision holding that Congress is clothed with any and all power necessary to keep open the channels of interstate commerce, the Supreme court today, five to four, sustained the Adamson law as constitutional and enforceable in every feature.
 The immediate effect will be to fix a permanent eight-hour basic day in computing wage scales on interstate railroads for which a nationwide strike twice has been threatened. It will give, effective from January this year, increases in wages to train men of about 25 per cent at cost to the railroads estimated at $40,00O, ,O00 to $50,000,000 year
 The court said the carriers and their employees are engaged in a business charged with public interest subject to the right of Congress to compulsor- fly arbitrate a dispute affecting the operation of that business.

 A cabinet meeting probably will be held tomorrow afternoon to discuss the situation.
 It is generally conceded that all ready a virtual state of war exists with Germany in spite of the techni- cal armed neutrality status of the United States. A suggestion ad- vanced tonight was that the president might issue a call for Congress to meet within 10 days and in his pro- clamation point out the new situation since he asked for authority to estab- fish a state of armed neutrality. No one professed, however, to be in the presidents confidence.

The Commission is working on figures to show just what effect the order as it stands will have not only on inter state traffic, but intra-state move ments. It is rumored that it is the intention of the carriers to endeavor to put into effect on Arkansas intra- state traffic, the class rates for dis tances as prescribed by the Interstate Commerce Commission less the bridge tolls. If this should be done and the courts sustain the position of the car riers, it means a material increase in intra-state rates, says the Commis- sion.

JUDGE W. A. COKER
 NAMED ON PEN BOARD
Governor Appoints Official of Drew County to Succeed J. A. Bradsher-COmes As a Sur prise.

Following days of speculating, eau cusing and "watchful waiting" Gov ernor Brough's appointment late yes terday afternoon og Judge W. A.. Coker of Monticello as penitentiary commissioner to succeed J. A. Brad sher, whose term expired March 8, came as a relief ot the overworked officials and watchful walters. The competition for the $3,000 job has been keen, and Judge Coker's appoint ment came as a surprise to many, as his name had not been mentioned.
 Mir. Bradsher was a candidate for the position to succeed himself and it was supposed that his strongest op- ponent was J. V. Ferguson, former member of the commission, who re- signed a year ago. It was believed late Saturday night that the appoint ment of Pate Hite of Hot Springs was practically assured as compros mise candidate.
 Judge Coker is county judge of Drew county, and was the first presi- dent of the Arkansas Good Roads and Drainage Association. He was secre- tary last year of the Southeastern Ar kansas Fair Association, and was for merly banker at Monticello.

In the book shop the sense of Won

CHAPTER v


(Copyright, 1917, Star Company
In spite of the disagreeable prelude
to the trip down town Grace and L
had a merry morning together.
My companion was winsome little
creature, and when she was seated IN
the big limousine with me, she talked
happily and unrestrainedly.
It's fun-you and me going out
like this in the car together-isn't it,
she observed, smiling with delight as
l opened one of the windows and the
fresh air rushed in. why won
Auntie have the windows open?"
"Auntie's not strong" 1 tried to ex-
plain. ''and she afraid of the cold.
''She a 'fraid cat!" the child Knocked.
NO, dear" 1 said gravely, you
must not say that of your aunt She
loves you and is very good to you.
1t is not nice for little girls to talk
like that of grown people,
She submitted to the correction
amiably, as she always did to my sug-
gestions with regard to her faults of
speech or manner.
"All right. l won't say she's a 'fraid
cat again." she promised, cuddlinS
down by me affectionately.
While she was prattling about the
various matters that came into her
busy brain, / listened with only half
the problems that confronted me in
my new position.
In many ways it was just the kind
of place / had longed for. I was al
ready fond of my small charge; my
employer was kind to me; but l had an
uneasy consciousness that there was
something which l did not understand,
that 1 must keep on good terms with
Mr.. Brewster Norton and with Mrs.
Gore, even when they seemed opposed
TO each other.
How did this sad-faced widow hap
pen to live in the home of this pleas
ure-loving man? Was it because she
was his dead wife's sister. and did his
loving regard for that wife's memory
make him kind to her relatives-in-
law?
Then, as the car turned into Fifth
avenue, my thoughts changed.
"Oh. Grace." l exclaimed; isn't it
all lovely-the avenue, l mean? Look
at the automobiles, and the people
everything"

hrooded fearfully on how l was to

my black dress, but I was almost hid
den by the fur rug tucked about
Grace and me.
Yes, this was the kind of life I
loved. Even if I could not dress as
