WESTERN STATES
DEMAND CUT IN
FREIGHT RA ES
Charges on Grain, Grain
Products and Hay Are
Too High, Is Contention
of the Plaintiffs

Washington, Dec. 1t.-Western
states began the submission to the
interstate commerce commission
today of evidence on which is based
their demand for reductions In
the freight rates now charged
on grain, grain products and
hay in the territory west of
the Mississippi and east of the
Rocky Mountains. The proceeding
was originally brought for this pur-
pose by the Kansas Public Utilities
commission and the commissions
of Minnesota, Nebraska, North and
South Dakota. Iowa, Missouri and
Oklahoma have now intervened for
the same object, while all the wes-
tern railroads are represented in
opposition.
DR.. Henry j. Waters, former
president of the Kansas Agricul-
tural College, described the history
Of the rates as well as outlining the
grounds on which .he states de-
mand reduction.
When western states We're given
a reduction ranging from II to 10
per cent on lHeSe cOnluluulLleS ~
1921, Or. Waters said, the COM
merce commission had recognized
the special need of agricultural
producers for assistance, because
their prices had been pushed down
further by general deslation than
those Of any other commodity
Whatever advantage had been CIV
an farmers by this step, he contin-
ued. had been practically "obliter-
ated" by the ten per cent reduc-
ton given all rates last July.

ANOTHER FUTILE
FARLEY IS HELD
ON PREPARATIONS
Conference at London Ends
in an Agreement to Get
Together Again at Paris
on January 2

London, Dec. II (by the Asso-
ciated Press) The London con-
ference on German reparations,
generally described as the critical
conference, ended today In agree
ment only on another conference.
The next link in the long chain or
the allies struggles to get together
will be forgec at Paris on Jahu-
ary .. There Will be a fortnight
then left for the allies to agree
upon some program.
The moratorium granted inc
Germans expires January To- anu
the next payment on account OIL
reparations, which Germany pro-
tests she is unable to meet Will
be due on that date.
Another futile round table ses-
sion of the diplomats would seem
TO mean only fulfillment or the
French plans for independent ac-
ton, which British opinion be-
lieves would spell calamity for the
tottering edifice of European
prosperity and SOW the seeds Tor
o future great war.
Agreement TO Disagree
The agreement to Disagree
only Temporarily, the diplomats
assert-was consummated in three
days, embracing four meetings OF
the allied premiers. The rock on
which harmony foundered was the
British refusal formally to coun-
tenance the French project for
( partial occupation of the Ruhf
and the taking charge OF impor-
tant German industries. The Brit
ish cabinet met this afternoon and
registered its refusal to cooperate
with France in such measures.
Premier Mussolinis proposals
| for a settlement were treated cour-
teously, as was due the head OF q
powerful nation, but We're not
taken seriously as a panacea for
the German sick man of Europe,
The German note was rejected
unanimously, with the general
/ comment that it meant merely
sparring to gain time.
No Plan Submitted
/ The British government sub
mitted no general plan to solve
the deadlock; ii practically Of
fered to cancel Frances debt tc
Crcat Britain as an inducement
I t3r scaling down the amount Of
/ the monetary demand upon Ger
many. The French, Italian and
Bal ian premiers, with their stats
/ ~ xperts, will embark for home
tom orrow morning.
This conference resembled sew
ieral of its predecessors in that the
icoaterees insist it has not been q
ffalre, that its dissolution cannot
bs described as a deadlock, and
in general, that there is better
ur erstanding among them thar
hetore they met. Certainly this
att tude pictures their hopes, y

DURANGO EDITOR
NOT Gull Ty, IS
JURY'S VERDICT
Rod S. Day, Charged With
the Murder of William L.
Wood, Last April, Is
Freed After a Trial

Durango, Colo, Dec. 1t.-Rod s..
Day, editor of the Durango Demo-
crat. was found not guilty of the
charge of murder FOR which he was
tried in connection with the death
of William l.. Wood, city editor of
the Durango Herald, last winter.
The verdict was returned at
o'clock this morning after IL ball
lots had been taken.
The verdict was given TO the
court approximately "a hours after
the case went to the jury but it
was reached about 8 o'clock last
night, when the jury reported to
the court that a decision had been
agreed upon. The court ordered
the jurors locked up for the night
with instructions TO return their
verdict this morning.
According to testimony given al
the trial, Day and Wood became
enemies through a newspaper con-
troversy. They met on the street
early one morning and heated
words led to bloodshed. Day, tes-
tifying in his own behalf, declared
that Wood, man considerably his
physical superior, refused his
peaceful advances and struck him
in the face. Fearing the conse-
quences of an impending assault,
he said he drew his automatic re-
volver and shot from the hip. The
first bullet inflicted mortal
wound. a second shot, Day said,
was fired by him uninteuttonally
in the excitement.
Courtroom Throngcd
The case has attracted statewide
interest through the prominence of
the principals. The court room was
thronged daily and when the jury
retired shortly after midnight Sat
urday women and children re-
manned in the court room, many
of them eating lunches and doing
on the benches, waiting tedious
hours for the verdict 10 be re-
turned.
Days face lighted up with a
smile when tho clerk read the for
NAL verdict reached by the jury
When the jury was DISMISSED
Day shook each by the hand and
also received the congratulations OF
his attorneys and friends. He said
in a formal statement shortly after
the verdict had been returned that
he had at no time doubted that he
would be acquitted.
Great interest had been manifest
during the course Of the trial which
started last Monday, as both edi-
tors had wide circle of friends.
Day has been editor of the Dem
ocrat for the last IL years sue
ceeding his father, the late Dave
i. Day, as head Of the concern.
