"Modoc is on the Missouri Pacific, first
station west of Scott City. The freight
rate is actually $500 per ton. The
distance from Modoc to Kansas City
is AIS miles and results in a gross ton
mile earning of x cents
; ''MohIer states that the shipper re-
5ceived only s10.15 per ton, which
proves that the hay was of very poor
quality. First class alfalfa was quoted
on the Kansas City market May 10 as
being worth $23 per ton. Mohler states
that commission firm in Kansas City
was paid 81 per ton for selling. and

that it cost SO per ton to bale the hay,

is charged against the freight rate.
"On the basis of the figures fur
nished by Mohler, it cost practically

from western Kansas to the Kansas
City market. and he paid a commits

KILL IS ELECTED
 ST. LOUIS MAYOR
(By United Press)

St. Louis, April 6.-In face of strong opposition from the Globe Democrat, an influential Republican morning pa- per, Mayor Henry W. Kiel was re- elected for third term at yesterdays municipal election, defeating James w. Byrnes, the Democratic nominee, by a plurality of approximately 1o,- 900. Louis Nolte, Republican, was reelected comptroller and II Repub- lican aldermen were elected by large majorities. At the expiration of the term for which he has just been elect ed Mayor Kiel will have served 12 years.
 The Globe-Democrat's fight on Nav or kiel was based on the charge that he was a machine politician and af- flliated with the political forces which were. charged with the Lowden scan- dal last summer. Kel, however, had the support of United States Sena- tor Spencer and an endorsement from President Harding.

US. PROBES SLASH
 |NCO1TON ACREAGE
(By United Pressl

Washington, April 6.-Through the bureau of crop estimates, the govern ment department of agriculture has started Investigations of reports that farmers have reduced their crop acre age because of the low prices received for their products.
 According to information received by the bureau, an agitation for de- creased cotton acreage was started two months ago by leading planters, who urged a lower production.
 Southern bankers who conferred with the war finance commission de- clared that cotton growers would be throwing away their money and labor if they produced normal crop this year.
 Cotton is now selling at its lowest price in months and other farm pro- ducts are off nearly 100 per cent, some being forced upon the market at prices lower than pre-war levels.

 London, April 6.-Great Britain to- day went on war time basis as a measure against the industrial re- volution which has grown out cf the strike of miners.
 Railway and transportation work CTS assembled in London today to vote the action they will take in full fillment of their pledge to aid in any way possible the miners to win vic tory over the government and their employers.
 The transportation workers argue that victory by the miners would also forestall any attempt to reduce their own pay, which is due for slash ing at later time, they believe.
 During the night, the government moved large bodies of troops into the parks of the city and prepared to mount guard over food supplies.
 Thus far in the strike, soldiers and sailors have not been orde -e0 to take over the mines abandoned by the strikers. Sporadic fighting is report ed in scattered sections of the island.

 Covington, Ga, April 6.-How fed eral agents who were secretly inves- igating alleged peonage conditions ;n Georgia unearthed the murder farm" of John s. Williams, Newton county planter charged with killing II ne- groe workers on his plantation, was related to the jury today by George w. Brown, a special agent of the United States department of justice
 Brown was one of the first witness es to take the stand for the state. The jury, which was completed short ly before adjournment yesterday, is composed of seven farmers, two mer- chants, a clerk, barber and a drug gist.
 Efforts by the state to prove that the death of Peterson was one of a series of crimes" which, it was un- derstood would be undertaken the first day of the evidence, was expect ed to bring from the defense one of its hardest fight in seeking to bar from the trial all references to the other deaths, and to hold evidence down to the single death of Peterson, whose body was found in Yellow river and who the state contends was brought into Newton county and drowned by Williams and Manning, Williams being held to be the instiga- tor of the alleged murder.

BEGINS EVIDENCE. US.
 AGENT CALLED
(Py United Press)

Covington, Ga. April 6.-Clyde Manning, negro, principal witness for the state in the prosecution of John Williams, planter alleged as operator of the murder farm" in Newton coun- ty, today took the stand. Intensity of feeling between the white and negro races caused the court to caution Manning against infammatory testi- mony. He was also cautioned not to incriminate himself.
 With the prosecution resting almost solely upon Manning's evidence, the life of white man depended upon the word of negro.
 Manning repudiated portions of his confession, in which he detailed the murder of negroes, who rebelled against the peonage in which Will Hams is alleged to have held them, and the disposition of their bodies.
 He named negro farm hands brought from Macon, Atlanta and Savannah stockades, from which Will Hams secured their release by paying their fines or by supplying bail.
 As to the actual executions, Man ming declared that Lindsey Petersor> Willie Preston and Harvey Price were killed one Saturday night late in Feb ruary or early in March. Peterson and Preston were drowned in Yellow river, he testified, after being thrown off the bridge near the Williams farm Price was drowned in South river. The bodies of all three were heavily weighted before being thrown into the water.
 "The boys begged mighty hard" Manning declared on the witness stand, but MT. John said, throw em in,' and me and Charles Chisholm pitched them off the bridge"
 Chisholm was later killed at Will liams' order, the witness testified, to keep him from talking about the murder farm"
