COLE CONVICTED,
 GIVEN LIFE TERM
Montgomery County Youth Is Found Guilty of Killing Woman Recluse Minister Trial in February
 Possibly to Pen.

Mount Ida, Oct. Raymond Cole, aged 22, must spend the remain der of his life in the Arkansas peni- tentiary.
 This was the verdict of a jury in Montgomery circuit court, returned at 9:45 o'clock tonight, after it delib- erated more than four hours. Cole probably will be sentenced tomorrow morning by Judge Scott Wood of Hot Springs, who presided over the court
 Cole was convicted of having mur- lered, on May last, Mrs. Anna Nc. kennon, an aged woman who lived alone in the wilds of the upper Oua- chita river country. Coles attorney's declined to place him on the witness stand. Only five witness testified in his behalf
 Coles lawyers contended that Mrs MckeIn0n was killed with club in- stead of being shot to death. The in- dietment against Cole charged him with shooting the woman. Testimony was offered to show that a big club with blood was found in the room where the body was lying when discovered by rural letter carrier.
 The prosecution introduced con- fession alleged to have been signed by Cole before a notary public, in which the young mountaineer admit ted killing Mrs. McKennon at the re- quest of the Rev. Harding Hughes, q superannuated minister. According to the confession, Cole was to have received $500 for putting old lady Mo K arnor. ant of tko xuav
 The minister was indicted by the last Grand jury as an accessory to the crime. but the indictment was de- clared faulty, and his trial was post poned until the February term of court. The Rev. Mir. Hughes was re- turned to Hot Springs this afternoon to be placed in jail for safekeeping It is probable he will be transferred to the penitentiary at Little Rock, it was said tonight

 To the casual investigator these fibers seem quite equal to those In common use in making twine and rope, and it may yet be found that the humble whippoorxill, aside from values as food, feed and soil building. will win another place of importance n industry.

REDUCED FREIGHT
 ON GRAIN ORDERED.
I. c. C. Makes Most Sweeping Rate Gut in Years in West--TO Apply New Tariffs by November 20
 at the Latest.

Washington, Oct. 2S.---Federal ac- ton affecting the railroad strike sit uation was taken yesterday by two departments of the government, when the Interstate Commerce Commission ordered freight reductions on grains, grain products and hay in the terri- tory between the Mississippi river and the Pacific coast, and the Depart ment of Justice issued instructions for the protection of the International x Great Northern railroad in Texas, where a trainmens strike became ef- fective at noon.
 The commissions decision, which was in a case brought by 22 Western states and several national and local farm organizations, did not deal di- rectly with the impending strike, but is considered significant in it's pre- sentation of prospective future re- ductions of railroad operating ex- penses as basis for it's rate-making activity.
 eSo far as a reduction downward in rates can be induced the commis- sion said "and so far as the reduc- tion in wages and prices, which all ready have been made effective can be converted into rate reductions, we are assured that the full return of prosperity will be hastened for both industry and labor"
 The rate reduction is the most sweeping issued by the commission in sc=sral years and on the commodities named, which constitute a heavy per- centage Of railroad traffic turnout the Western territory, amounts to one half of the increases allowed in 1920. These were 35 per cent in the Vest ern group territory; 25 per cent in the Mountain Pacific group, and 32 l-3 per cent between divisions.
 Must Comply Soon.
 The commission also ordered rates on coarse grains, including corn, oats and others fixed at 10 per cent below the level on wheat in the new sched- ule, while rates on products are to be altered to fit the new rates. The railroads were ordered to have the new schedule ready by November 20 at the latest.
 Summarizing it's reasons for the action, the commission said that ag- ricnlture is basic industry which the evidence shows to be in state of financial prostration, receiving for its products prices which approach and in some cases have fallen below war levels, many of which still are at the war time peak
 Railroads also are suffering from financial depression, the commission found, and the per cent return upon their property declared by Congress to be the object of ratemaking is not being earned generally, but the regu- latine body declared itself bound "to reflect our best judgment as to the basis which may reasonably be ex- peeted for the future to yield the prescribed return"

R. R. LABOR BOARD
 ORDERS NO STRIKE
Calls on Railroads and Five Brother hoods to Appear Next Week for Hearing, Warns Against Walkout
 Before Decision Rendered.

Chicago, Oct. 2l.--The United States railroad labor board today, backed by al! the authority which the government can place at it's disposal, called the railroads of the country and the five big unions to apear next week and solemnly warned the unions not to strike until the board has heard their grievances and rendered q decision.
 Virtually Means No Strike.
 The boards action virtually means that there will be no strike October 30, unless the unions choose to open ly defy the government, for it IS hardly probable that decision will be rendered by the board before that date.
 The hearing will be open to the press and public, and with more than 200 railroads and approximately 30 unions involved either directly or in- directly, probably will last several days.
 The big five unions chiefs were cited to appear that the board may determine whether they have been or are violating the wage reduction or der.
 The board also said that insofar as the threatened strike is the result of dispute between the carrier and their employees concerning wages, rules and working conditions, this board hereby assumes jurisdiction of said dispute on the statutory ground that it is likely substantially to inter rupt commerce.
 Can Compel Man to Work.
 While both carriers and unions promptly announced they would com ply with the order citing them to ap- pear before the board next Wednes- day, W. G. Lee, president of the brotherhood of railroad trainmen, one of the organization which has called a strike, in a statement given out in Cleveland asked by what authority any one could compel a man to work and pointed out that the right to strike had been upheld by the United States supreme court.
 While the transportation act gives the board no power to enforce it's de- tkSi0HS, lt fS unQcISl0Du tHdC last weeks conferences between President Harding. members of the board, At torney General Daugherty, Secretary of War Weeks and interstate com merce commission placed all the de- partments of the government in &C., cord as to what shall be done if either side moves in open defiance of the labor board.
 President to Act.
 Should the unions refuse to abide by the boards order. it has been pointed out. the board under the law will issue statement to the public to that effect and the president and his advisors can then proceed to take such action as they consider neces- sary.
 in connection with the labor board order to defer strike action, it was pointed out the ''big five" union chiefs yesterday informed the board that the strike could not be post poned, as no arrangements for such a contingency had henr rnada aftbo ;t

The child Who Became Famous.

Somewhere in the beautiful cOun-
try, Ear from every one, there lived in
a tiny log cabin a shepherd. his wife
and child
The three had never been to the
large city; they lived in a little world
OF their own. The mother taught the
child to read and write.
Now the child, whose name was
KatrinlSa, would play about the trees,
climb the mountains and even get up
at night to watch the stars.
"How bright they shine" she
thought. IL wonder why they shine
like diamonds on the bright blue sky,
and l wonder where they hide in the
day." Then the child would dress
herself, while her parents slept, and
run outside and walk from flower to
flower from tree TO tree and wonder
how they came into the world.
Then there came a day when the
childs wonder turned to imagination
and from imagination to poetry
When poetry came to the child il
stayed, and from that day the child
started writing poetry
To- day the child Is a great poetess
She patiently saved the poems she
wrote, sent them to an editor OF a
great magazine and all her poems
were accepted.
