HARRIS URGES CHEAPER
RATE TO AID GROWER

Senator Moves For Reconsideration
OF Recent Refusal Of Roads
To Reduce Charges
Washington, June 9.-Reconsider-
alton of the recent refusal of the
Southern carriers to reduce freight
rates from Georgia to Eastern and
Western markets on perdshable
fruits and vegetables was requested
Wednesday by Senator Harris and
Chairman Clark Of the Interstate
Commerce and Vice President Lin
coin Green of the Southern Railroad,
spokesman for the carriers.
Senator Harris said he made his
request in view of dispatches from
Chicago that 'the transcontinental
railways announced reduction of
rates on carload shipments of vege-
tables, melons and apples and a
new rate Of SITS per 100 pounds on
vegetables and melons, including
cantaloupes from Pacific Coast ter
minals and intermediate points for
destinations east of Chicago and the
Mississippi River and will be made
effective at the earliest possible
date" -. /
Senator Harris said that 'recog-
milton of the necessity for a reduc-
tion in rates by railroads of one Sec
ton should be followed by similar
action for the Southeast on the
fruits and vegetables"
After the Southern railroads de-
clined to make a voluntary reduc-
ton, the Interstate Commerce Com
mission informed Senator Harris
that sufficient time could not elapse
for a hearing and an answer by the
railroads in time to help the move
ment Of the present crop. Senator
Harris said that if the railroads
would take immediate action in the
Southeast along the lines indicated
in the Chicago dispatch that such
relief would be Of great assistance
to the Southern growers.

STABBED ON NORTH MAIN ST. BUT
 REFUSES 10 TELL WHO USED KNIFE

Stabbed and slashed by some assailant probably on North Main street early Sat urday evening, Frank Ladeno, alias Frank Loudone. of ASA Main street, East Side, is a patient at the Backus hospital, where he consistently refuses to tell who stabbed him or explain anything about how he received his wounds.
 His wounds are severe. but his recov- cry Is expected unless blood poisoning should set in- He has long slash straight across the chin which it took eight stitches to close. He has also a stab wound in the left side of the abdo- men, a long slash which penetrated into the abdominal cavity but did not cut the intestines or any of the organs in the abdomen
 The weapon that was used has not been found. but the police have extracted from one of half a dozen persons whom they questioned Saturday night the name of a man who is said to have been the stabber. He h&s left the city and it is presumed he may haw gone back to New York, from whence he came to this city about two weeks ago.
 That some of thes- whom they ques- toned could tell good deal more about the stabbing than they have so far is the conviction of the police who believe that possible witnesses to the stabbing are holding back what they know abou l 1t for fear of vengeance which might bt taken upon them if they tell.
 News of the mysterious stabbing af | fray first came to Police Captain D. J Twomey at Headquarters when he heard | of a wounded man being taken to tn. | office of pr. J. W. Callahan on Mai1 1 street. Information from the doctor wa to the effect that the wounds were SC

BORAH PRAISES PLAN
 FOR DISARMAMENT

New York Nov 13.-Senator William F. Borah, of Idaho, addressing a disarm- ament mass meeting tonight, declared that the proposal of Secretary Hughes for the limitation of naval armaments by Great Britain. Japan and the United States, was "a magnificent beginning, but only a beginning"
 He emphasized, however, that the pro posal had not yet been accepted and ad- vocsted continued agitation for open ses- siens of the arms conference in Washing ton to afford opportunity for fixing re- Epensibility for its acceptance or retec- ton.
 The power of public opinion Senator Borah said. was the only power that could bring about disarmament or any effective limtation of armament.
 Senator Borah advocated the destruc- ton of all battleships and of every sub- marine. which he condemned as a weap- on unfit for ci Hired warfare.
 Referring to the secret meetings of the peace conference at Paris during which, he said, the code President Will son took there was smashed to pieces and every one Of the II points lost by trading. he added
 Do not forget that the commendatior that greeted the proposals of MT Wilson surpassed the concentrations that have greeted the proposals of MT. Hughes
 Senator Borah then attacked "secre diplomacy as tl9e cause of many wars and offered a suggestion for attending the constitution to provide for refer endum on war instead of eRtrusting tn, decision to a small group of officials.

WORLDS TRUE womAsHoeD


 The r. N. c. A. lobby was the scene Of a very intersstins ''Get Togghe-- Sunday afterneon, when a fine group of men met to enjoy the hour. After the usual song period. the Scripture and prayer. an interesting discussion was conducted on the topic, The Worlds True Womanhood. General Secretary Hill led in the discussion.
 Some of fthe points brought out were as follows: Solomon wrote. 'Tyho can find virtuous woman; her price Is above rubles." There are very many virtieus women in these days. The word virtue" has changed it's meaning through the years; once it meant "eour- age" then its meaning changed to .'hon- esty" and today we think of it's meaning as purity" The most degraded being | in the world is bad woman, and. the purest character In the world Is a true woman. Most of the wise and good rui- CTS of the world have had fine mothers. England's queen, Victoria, made a last | ing contribution to our mother coun- | try" The cause of temperance owes | more to women than we think. Most | men that Are successful owe much of | their success to sheir wives or mothers
 An ex-service man who was present stated that the influence of the women war workers overseas was benedic;ior to the tired, weary soldiers. Another ex-service msp pointed to the large pic. ture on the lobby wall entitled Break Ing Home Timse's and he suggested many helpful thoughts that came to him from the picture, especially speaking of tho thought that the picture showed very clearly the anxious feelings of the moth er-heart as her boy was about to leav' home for the first time.
