INSTRUMENTATION IN FREIGHT II
 CEASE AFTER OCTOBER 1 |S ORDER
Back Haul Charge Will Not Be Allowed and Arizona Will Have Edge on Coast
 in Cost of Freight Here

On October 1 the discrimination in freight rates between the inter-moun- tain region and Pacific coast termin- els in favor of the latter will cease with. the abolition of the back haul. Internountain shippers for many years have sought to have the prefer ential rates to the coast abated but they always ran up against water competition" a shadow but effective excuse for the maintenance of the backhaul. Then the war came to their relief, the war and the German submarines, with the result that there is now not even shadowy water com petition
 The matter came up for hearing gone months ago at Chicago before an examiner for the Interstate Com merce Commission and the abolition of the preferential rate was recom- mended. It was held up so long in the commission, however, that it was feared that the commission would not act favorably on it. This propo- sition was always a part of the so called intermountain cases, consist ing Of the Phoenix, the Reno and the Spokane cases and at the recent hearing in Washington before the In- terstate Commerce Commission on the proposal by the roads for a fiji teen per cent advance in freight rates, was merged with it, though the com mission in the disposition of that case did not at that time dispose of the backhaul case.
 The roads have two ways of stopping the discrimination against the intermountain country and it is not hard to see which they will adopt. They may either lower the rates to intermountain points or increase the rates to the Pacific coast terminals. Another thing they may do will be to substitute class for commodity rates.
 lntermountain towns are less con- cerned with the character of the rates than with the abolition of the dis crimination which has always been practicod against them. The roads themselves never cared, perhaps, very much about the backhaul though un- der the influence of the coast ship pers they always fought the proposi- tiOn to eliminate it.
 It is admitted now that discrimina- tion has been wiped out until after the war, many years after for il will take years to rehablitate the shipping industry, but it is believed that it wiped out forever for theil was never a very good excuse for its existence.

TRIANGLE PACT
 WEIRD EXAMP[ P[E
 OF 'OTHERMAN
Husband and Wife and Man Who Loves the Wife All Agree and Sign Contract
 Which Lands Two in Jail

Breaking a strange contract signed oy husband, wife and lover, because of their impatience at being separated for a year, Mrs E. w. Henry, wife of a Globe business man and Charles R. Williams the third member of the triangle, were arrested in Goldfield yesterday by Deputy Sheriff E. J.. Warren. The couple had with them the two small daughters of Mrs. Henry, Evelda and Thelma, who were taken to the Detention Home until the arrival of their father from Globe in whose custody they were placed last evening.
 According to one of the weirdest documents that have yet gone on record it was understood that Henry was to secure a divorce from his wife and that in a years time she was to marry Williams, who is a brakeman in Globe. In the event the marriage did not take place Henry was relieved of any further obliga- tion to the wife although the chil- dren were to receive provision from their father.
 It was understood that the three were to be separated for year. Mrs. Henry and the children passing the
  fornia. Henry, who has furniture store in Globe, was to remain there and Williams was to seek work else where. When Henry learned that the contract had been broken and that his wife and Williams had started jointly on journey he immediately notified Sheriff Armer of Gila county who caused their arrest. Armer arrived from Globe yesterday and will take his prisoners back to Globe today.
 Mrs. Henry protests her innocence. She declares that she was on her way to the coast and was to be Will liams companion only as far as Phoe- nix. The luggage of the couple con- issted of two trunks. three bags and a suit case and the clothes of both were packed together. The contract was found in one of the bags.
 Dated Globe. June 25. it reads:
 "I MT. Charles R. Williams on this date also Ella L. Henry solemnly swear in event F.. w. Henry secures divorce the aforesaid, Charles R. Williams will marry his wife as soon as the law allows. E. w Henry agrees to provide for Ezelda and Thelma until said marriage. In the event such marriage does not take place at the first lawful time or any other time the said E. W. Henry is released from any further responsi- bility, for the care of the children except which he would provide ir any event. In view of the circum stances in which she is leaving she relieves MT. F. w. Henry of any ali irony and deserts him of her own free will and accord, her husband not desiring this separation.

He had evidently thought he would cool off before retir- ing and had been caught in the deep | hole in the river toward the center of the stream His body was partly sub mergd Only his head and back were exposed to the view of the hundreds of morbid and curious who had word of the tragedy and had motored from town for details of the gruesome story. The | bridge was parked with automobiles and more than once during the after
 noon traffic was suspended as motor
 ists left their cars to gain better view
 of the man below. It was a difficult
 matter to reach Chibos. Haze Burch constable of the east precinct; Bob
 Anderson of the city police, and Tom | Whitney, the undertaken in charge
 were compelled to let themselves down
 the side of the bridge by means of a rope. The 40-foot drop made, they
 then waded around the stream carrying
 the dead man to wagon, the only
 vehicle that could approach the scene Coroner Wheeler and the jury reviewed ] the remains and the inquest was held
 at the foot of the north approach o1 the bridge, not far from the entrance

 DeEied Safely

According to the law of this state, which went into effect June 5, a couple divorced in Arizona cannot marry again for the period of one year. Yet Martin H. Anderson, di- vorced in Cochise county three months ago, was married in Phoe nix yesterday. Nellie H. Taylor, whom he married, was also granted legal separation in the Tombstone court three months ago.
 Anderson and his bride are the same couple who agreed to go their separate ways just short time ago. They had no difficulty in persuad ing the court that they were entitled to re- marry, since they were to marry each other.
 The service was read by Justice Wheeler.
