Western Roads Cut Livestock
 Freight Rates
[RepubIIcan A. p. Leased Wire1

OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 10.-Western railroads will reduce freight rates on livestock, except horses and mules 20 per cent, effective from September 20 to December 31, 1921, it was am nounced at the Union Pacific rall- road company offices today.
 The reduction will affect only the producers on the western range and those outside of an approximate 500- mile radius from omaha who ship to this market, it was explained by live stock men, Those producers inside the 500-m mile territory will derive no benefit from the reduction, 1t was argued. because they pay the mini mum fifty cents per hundred pounds or less on their stock.
 The announcement came from the office of F. w. Robinson, freight traffic manager of the Union Pacific, and was based on advices from E.B. Boyd of Chicago, chairman of the western trunk lines committee.
 "The emergency situation sur rounding the livestock industry" !" said the announcement. was largely the basis for the conclusions of the interstate commerce commission, who suggested that while the present rates were not of themselves unrea- sonable. that it would be well if re- duction of 20 per cent in the present livestock rates were undertaken. ex- cept on hoSses and mules. observ- ing as a minimum rate of 50 cents per 100 pounds on all livestock.
 Tt will be the endeavor of the lines to establish these rates effective September 20 to expire December 31, 1921"
 The reduction. MT. Robinson said, will be made by all lines operating west of Chicago.

Judge Lockwood Holds Hearings
 On Yavapai Suit

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Sept. 10.-Su- perior Judge A. c. Lockwood of Co., chise county. sitting in the Yavapai county superior court here today, held hearings on the injunction suit filed by local taxpayers to prevent the carrying out of a contract en- tered into between the Yavapai county highway commission and a Los Angeles firm of consulting engi- neers.
 The plaintiffs con.end that the contract is invalid as it runs beyond the term of office of the members of the highway commission and also because 1t constitutes an alleged H. legal delegation of the commissions powers.
 Judge Lockwood this afternoon am nounced that he was satisfied that only one point in the complaint need be considered and that that was the one regarding the extension of the contract beyond the terms of the com missioners who made the contract. The judge directed that briefs be filed by both sides within ten days and said that he then would an nounce his decision at Tombstone.

school buildings and St. Anthony hotel, the Elks club. several hospi- tals, the central telephone exchange, the city hall and police and fire de- pertinent headquarters and countless other structures were in the patch of the flood
 These were the things visible when day dawned, gloomy and threatening But what occurred III the night when men, women and children met death in the oil coated waters of the flood, as houses collapsed, bridges were swept out trees and poles crashed and their wires became entangled with the other wreckage is something that will never be known in detail.
 Countless Heroic Acts
 Countless acts of heroism are cur rent, as civilians and soldiers braved the current and floating debris to carry women and children to safety. Thousands of families were rescued by men who worked the long hours often neck deep in water, risking their lives almost every minute.
 And in keeping with such heroic acts were the tragedies Babies were swept from mothers arms, mothers were carried away and children rescued. Fathers were lost saving little ones.
 There are many people who do not know yet whether they are widows or orphans. who are waiting the outcome of the search Tor bodies.
 Residents were caught without warning The rain which caused the flood fell after p. m, Friday in the hills along the Olmos creek. Un- questionably there was cloudburst. While torrents of rain were still fall- ing in San Antonio and the residents went early to bed, a roar was heard.

 jury would investigate the case at its meeting Monday night.
 Miss Rappe was born in Chicago. She was 23 years old. She went to Los Angeles about five years ago and obtained employment with mo- ton picture companies. In the last season or two she has appeared with well known male stars. She made her home in Los Angeles with an aunt, who was said to have acted as chap eron, even when Miss Rappe went to her work before the camera.
 ArbuclSle in Los Angeles said Miss Rappe came to his apartments to meet a friend of his who wished to model some gowns for her. She had "one or two drinks" he said, later which she became hysterical. Two other women who were callers at the apartments, he declared, looked after Miss Rappe after which she was taken to another room and placed in the care of a physician Arbuckle sai dhe had no intimation her ill., ness was serious until informed last night that she was dead.
 The police are not considering the bringing of any charge against any body involved in the death of Miss Rappe at present, Kennedy said, but future developments might change the situation, however.
 "The only charge that could be suggested by cases of this charac- ter is murder" Kennedy said, "and We have no evidence as yet that such a charge IS justified. However, the situation is extremely serious"
 The county grand jury is to start an investigation at its regular meet ing on Monday night into Miss Rappe's death and Arbuckle's inter- est in it, Harry Kelly, secretary of the jury, said today.
 "So many women's clubs and pri- vate individuals interested in the moral welfare of the city have de- manded an investigation that will present their demands to the jury Kelly said "The district attorney | who is at present out of the city will be advised of the circumstances when he returns and he will handle | the matter before the grand jury" Dr. NJ. E. RWnwell, who attended | Miss Rappe in the hotel following the party. and Dr. William Ophuls, who performed an autopsy on her. were | called to the coroner's office today to | be questioned concerning their knowl- l edge of the case.
 | Arbuckle was charged, according to Assistant District Attorney Mill ton U'Ren, under that section of the | California code providing that life taken in rape or attempted rape is considered murder.
 "Neither I nor MT. U'Ren nor Chief of Police Daniel O'Brien feel that any man, whether he be Fatty Arbuckle or anyone else, can come into this city and commit that kind of an offense," said Captain of De- tectives Duncan Matheson tonight ''The evidence showed that there was an attack made on the girl" he said
 "On Monday a formal complaint will be filed against ArbuclSle," Math- eson said. He added that Arbuckle refused to make any statement what soever.
 The complaint against Arbuckle was made by Detectives Henry Me- Grath. Thomas Began. John Dolan and Griffith Kennedy. The action was taken following a three hour examination of Dr. M. E. Rumwell Miss Fey Reiss and Al Seiminacher motion picture manager for Miss Rappe, and others.
