Rail Magnate Denies
High Rates Running
Livestock Industry

Washington, July Is. - Present
freight rates have no relation to the
condition of the livestock industry in
the west, Kenneth F. Burgess, repre-
senting the railroads. declared Friday
before the interstate commerce COM
mission, in oral argument, on the ship
pers' plea for relief and in which state
utilities commissions have interviewed.
Previously, reports of the livestock
interests had declared that the rates
were destroying the west.
Rate reductions asked by the ship
pers amount to $34.OO0.0OO a year
which would be but IL per cent of the
total value at the market of the live
stock shipped ON western railroads,
Mr.. Burgess declared. While the value
OF livestock on the farm in 1920. he
added, had suffered a deflation OF
$S19, 100000 the freight rate increase
in that year on the western roads was
only SASS 600.
Under the law. he argued rates on
one class of traffic could not be de-
creased so as to throw burden on
the other classes of traffic.

Women Leap From Windows
The crowd gathered at the city Jail
at 3 O'Clock in the afternoon, after
about Is women had been brought in
the patrol wagon from Seventh street

accused Of throwing red pepper on
policemen, but the crowd waited qui-

der charge but subjecting her to con-
fnement as an insane person.
In his charge to the jury Judge Ber-
non said there should be no convic-
ton unless Mrs. kaber was found to
be mentally responsible at the time OF
the murder. The burden of proof that
she was insane, however. he declared
was upon the defense. Insanity was
the sole defense in testimony offered
to refute the states charge that Mrs.
kaber planned the murder of her hus-
band.
Asks Extreme Penalty
County Prosecutor Edward G.. Stan
ton opened the states argument soon
after the noon recess. Mr.. Stanton
declared ''the extreme penalty-death
in electric chair--is the justice that is
due Eva kaber as payment for what
she did to her husband, Dan kaber." !"
This was not q hateful, resentful
murder by two assassins. They were
to be paid with silver for every drop
of Dan kabers blood" Mr.. Stanton
said
Defense counsel opened with a plea
for mercy for the woman. Attorney
Francis Poulson attacked the poison
theory Of the state. asserting that the
arsenic found in Mr. Kaber's internal
organs came from hardening powders
used by the undertakers.
William ]. Corrigan, following Mr..
Poulson, devoted most of his hours
argument to pleading for mercy for
Mrs. Kaber.

HOUSE TAKES HIDES
FROM FREE LIST Of
NEW TARIFF BILL
Compensatory Duties on Shoes
and Other Leather Pro-
ducts to Be Considered.

Washington, July 15.-The house
late Friday took hides off the free list
in the Fordney tariff bill and imposed
an ad valorem duty of 15 per cent.
The amendment included hides and
! skins of all kinds, raw, green, dried,
picked, prepared or preserved.
Following adoption of the amend
ment the ways and means committee
will Immediately consider compensat-
DRY duties on shoes and other leather
products, Mr.. Fordney said.
Representatives Hawley, Washington.
Republican member of the committee.
in pleading against the duty, declared
the farmers by tariff get less than
they were now paid, and that 81 mil
lion dollars would be added annually
to the nations shoe and leather bill.
He was joined by Representative Bur
ton, Republican. Ohio, former mem
Der of the senate, who told the house
that the Payne-Aldrich bill did not put
one cent of tax on the hide of the COW.
Adjournment after five hour ses
sion, and on the heels Of 11-hour
sitting Thursday, ended the hope of the
Democrats Of chance to demand
vote on amendments generally.
After discussion had been running
for two hours. Representative Garrett.
of Tennessee, the acting Democratic
leader, offered a motion to close de-
bate at once so that the house might
have an opportunity to work on the
bill under the five minute rule. accord
ing to legislative custom.
The Republicans countercd with
motion for two additional hours of
debate and got it by a party vote.
Then when the vote was taken, Mr..
Garrett insisted that the house keep on
the job, but all he could do was to
force roll call which showed Repub-
licans voting solidly to quit. Thirty
one members took part in the days
talk, some defending and some flaying
the hide tax.
