Freight Rates Case Heard at Mason
City Monday. Two DecOrahians
Present at Meeting

Mason City went On the map again
Monday as the mecca for a large
number Of traffic men, representa-
tives of the Interstate Commerce
commission. Iowa railway commits
sion, attorneys for big railway sys-
TENS and the members and attorneys
for the North Iowa Traffic Associat-
ion consisting of the Chamber Of
Commerce and Commercial Clubs Of
twenty or more north Iowa cities.
Members of the North Iowa Traf-
fic Association and counsel Clifford
Thorne of Chicago aided by A. T.
.Sindel, rate expert, met at the
Chamber of Commerce at 10 o.
clock Monday morning where a
hearing was accorded them by the
Interstate Commerce Commission
represented by Commissioner Mat
tingly, of Washington, D. c.
The North Iowa Traffic Associa-
ton representing twenty-seven
North Iowa towns and cities with
r. o. Youngerman of the traffic de-
partment Of the Mason City Brick &
Tile Co. as president, presented an
argument for lower freight rates to
the commission that morning
Freight rates which will compare
with those now in vogue in southern
Iowa are being asked. A series of
exhibits to substantiate the argu-
ment was offered by the traffic men.
The hearing began promptly at 10
o'clock with special examiner G. II.
Mattingly of Washington, d. G.. as
Judge" of the court, with w. l..
Fenstermacher as court reporter,
Clifford Thorne, Of Chicago, former

mission, Dwight N Lewis chairman

tion of the north Iowa traffic as
ISOLATION. az
In opening the hearing, Clifford
Thorne who is trying the case for
the Iowa men briefly set forth what
the case was and what the shippers
of northern Iowa desired. 1t was to
establish North McGregor as a
recognized gateway for freight
originating east Of the 11linois-Ind-
lana line, making this an additional
gateway and thus giving Mason City
and other towns in northern Iowa
the same rates and classification as
other cities in central and eastern
Iowa. The present basis of freight
rates to Mason City and other
north Iowa towns is on the basis of
Sabula being the Milwaukee roads
Mississippi gateway, when the as
ISOLATION contends, it should be
North McGregor, which would short
en- the distance of the Iowa rate and
thus put the north Iowa towns on
the basis with all other Iowa towns,
which is not now the case.

SHERIFF GETS HIS MAN.
Sheriff o. o. Ellingson Went to
Newton Sunday and Arrested
III. p. Sorenson

Sheriff o. o. Ellington arrived
home last evening from Newton,
Iowa, a city down near Des Moines.
The trip was made by auto and the
sheriff was accompanied by Kelse
Webster. The object of the sheriff
trip to Newton was to arrest H. P.
Sorenson, the dapper young fellow
who spent most of last summer and
winter in DEBORAH selling stock in
the Dubuque Packing Co. He was a
stranger in this community, but he
made himself agreeable and was
soon doing a good business in sell
ing stock. ~
Sorenson left DEBORAH about the
latter part of December or first of
January. Sometime before leaving
here he cashed two notes, one for
$500 and one for 5000, supposed to
be signed by two well known far
mers here. The notes proved to be
forgeries. The sheriff has been on
the trail of Sorenson since he left
here the first of the. year. The lat
ter has been in Omaha, Council
Bluffs and Denver.
While in DEBORAH Sorenson was
paying attentions to a young lady
employed in the telegraph office. She
left DEBORAH and went to Newton to
take another position. The sheriff
kept in touch with Newton and was
tipped off when Sorenson arrived
there.
The sheriff had a bench warrant
for Sorensons arrest. The warrant
gave the defendant the privilege
of being admitted to bail, and the
sheriff accepted cash bail of $1,000
and Sorenson was released, to appear
in DEBORAH at the September term of
court Sorenson, we believe claims
that he got the notes from his part
ner, and he did not sign them At
any rate Sorenson cashed the notes
at the bank.
The sheriff informs US that Soren-
son was to be married yesterday.

DEBORAH Wins From Spillville.

The DEBORAH ball team won their
second game last Sunday at the fair
grounds. Spillville were their OPP
ponents this time and the score
was 9 to 2. Pitcher Lusk of the
SpilIville team was knocked out or
the box: Anderson was on the mound
for DEBORAH and pitched his usual
good ball. Roger Rima of the locals
polled out home run and we guess
the ball is going yet. Three scores
resulted from that. Next Sunday a
Cresco- Lime Springs combination
team will play DEBORAH at the fair
grounds. Another good game. can be
expected, so remember the day and
date and don't miss it. '.EE'

Auto brushes Mans Leg.

A very serious accident happened
at Cresco on the afternoon of the
Fourth during the big celebration
held there. A young fellow by the
name of Weiss, a farm hand, work
ing in the country near Cresco,
came to town to attend the cele-
bration. He was driving an automo-
bile and in turning around one of
the crowded streets lost control of
his car and ran up on the side
walk. The car struck Will Stockman,
a farmer about 60 years of age who
lives in Fremont township. The
bumper on the car crushed one Of
his legs above the knee. He was
taken to Mercy hospital at Cresco
and given what relief possible, and
at this writing is still at the hos
pital, and his condition, we under
stand is very serious. We under
stand that the possibilities are that
he will lose his leg, but at this
writing the surgeons had not taken
it off.

DEMANDS
HUNS SIGNATURE
To THE PROTOCOL

Paris Dec (by the Associated
Press The supreme councils notes
dealing with the peace treaty were
delivered to Baron Won Lersner, head
of the German delegation. this eve
ming.
The first note denies the German
demands for modification of the
treaty on the surrender of Germans
charged with crimes against interna-
tional warfare and the return of
prisoners. 1t agrees to consider the
economic effects of the indemnities
required for the sinking of the war
ships in the Scana Flow on Germany
in "a spirit of equity. after a hearing
by the Preparations commission"
The note warns Germany for the
last time. that denunciation of the
armistice would give the allied armies
all latitude for necessary military
measures, and adds:
In this spirit we await without de-
lay signature of the protocol and the
exchange of notifications
Regarding TO the coercion clause of
the protocol the Supreme council con
siders that signature OF the protocol
and ratification win make the treaty
effective and that the protocols exc
cution will be guaranteed by the gem
eral terms of the treaty and by ordi-
narily recognized methods 1t rejects
the Germans pretended right" to
modification Of the treaty clauses as
compensation for the absence of
Americans from the commissions.
1t declares that it is vain for Ger
many TO seek to delay" the treaty's eff
fectiveness because of the provision of
the Americans with regard to the
commissions,
The second note deals entirely with
the Scapa FLOW incident. 1t places the
responsibility on the Germans for the
sinkings and sees in the protest only
IAN attempt difficult to explain, to
delay the treaty."
The note cites. the secret message of
the chief of the German admiralty
(Admiral Won Trotha) to Admiral Won
Reuter-, in command of the German
crews of the scapa Flow ships, dated
May, telling him that the fleets
disposition cannot be decided with
out us, it will be finished by us and
delivery to the enemy avoided
