line to thirty days on the road. 1t is
stated that the grand jury will maks
further investigation of the escap-
aces and the boys memories az t.
where they got the liquor may be
better than ct the Squire's trial.

Clair and ran it at such speed and
SO carelessly that repair bill
amounting to several months wage.

 NOT BE SADDLED WITH
 HIGHER FREIGHT RATE
By Assoclated Press

Washington. July 21.-Frank Roberson, attorney general or Mis- sissippi, told the interstate commerce commission today that the people of Mississippi valley should not be burdened with increased freight rates to meet the high cost of railroad operation in the southwest. Condi- tions in the valley. he said, are favor able to railroad operation and to grant the requests of southwestern lines to put into effect proposed rate increases in order that they may share with the traffic of the Mis- sssippi valley by hauling their ship ments through southwestern terri tory at high expense, would be to deny the Mississippi valley the right to enjoy it's natural advantages.
 J. V. McGinnis of Memphis told the commission that the proposed 5-cent increase in rates to Memphis would destroy commercial growth. Other opponents of the proposed in- creases were J. S. Davant of Mem phis, and B.. F. Martin of Natchez, A. J. McGehee of Jackson, Tenn, reps resenting western Tennessee and Kentucky, supported the proposed in creased rates to points on the Ms issippi, Ohio and Missouri rivers and the gulf.
