' Passenger Fares Expected
 to Come Down Soon

Washington, Oct. 9.-Railroad pas senger fares are coming down. A cut, as great, perhaps, as the ten per cent norjzontol reduction ordered in freight rates last May may be expected As there has been no official move and yet tie date of the reduction is con- jectural.
 The Interstate Commerce Commits sion has been importuned to start an Investigation or it's own initiative, similar to the investigation which re- suited in lCwerng freight rates. In ] formal requests have come from or ganizations of travelling salesmen. na- 5;cnal and sectional At the present time however, the commission has bef2re it the so-called mileage book case and it is unlikely that any move looking to general passenger rate reduction will be taken until that is 1 disposed of. Hearings have been com pleted and oral argument has been re- quested.
 Members of the commission are reported to be in mood to inquire thoroughly into reasons why pas senger rates should remain at their war time levels when everything else entering into the business life of the country has declined, coal alone ex- cepted One of the chief factors to be considered is the earning power of l the railroads and whether it would Should the commission follow its own precedent, established, in the freight rates case, it will assume that low ering rates will increase travel and thus result eventually in larger gross income.
 At the present time the railroads are earning net incomes, taking them as a unit, more nearly ap- preaching the fair rate of return fixed by the commission than at any time since they were returned to private control. The fears of eX- ecutives that reduction in freight rates would prove financially in furious apparently were unwarranted The carriers are not near the 5.75 per cent fixed by the commission, but on the basis Of latest returns, they pro bably will earn 4.5O per cent or better fer 1922.

AGED MINiSTER ES
 F0uND NOT GUILTY Once Convicted and Given Life Em- ErisGnmen.. Vow Free Man; De-
 fendang F. dubii8E.

Hot Springs, Oct. 7.-The Rev Harding M. Hughes is a free man to- night. Aged and superanuated min ister, charged with c3mplicity in the murder of Mrs. Anna McKennon iu Montgomery county, and once cCnvict- ed on the charge in Montgomery coun- Circuit Court and given life sentence for the crime, at 5:1o this afternoon heard a jury verdict read which exCnerated him. He had not taken the witness stand ill his own defense, Raymond Cole, the actual slayer of the woman, now serving d life sentence for the crime, refused to testify against him. but the evidence of Cole in the former trial was read into the records and given the jury.
 There was reasonable doubt of the guilt of the accused minister, and the law here had resolved that doubt in favor of the defendant, as the court instructs it shall be done It took the jury almost five hours to reach that conclusion.
 Speculation in the courtroom, where crowd had Wearied of a verdict, was that there would be none. The dusk flo eveningide had settled over the courthouse The lights had not been switched on
 Then came the rap from the jury irCom and the verdict was delivered. Deputy Clerk Leatherman could hard ly read the verdict when it was hand ed to him. Seconds seemed long to tie waiting court attendants, and truch longer to the defendant and his sens who had remained through all i the afternoon. The verdict was read. The minister sprang to his feet. He started around the long lawyers table to get a handshake wiyh the members of tie jury but his attorneys quickly
 recalled him and made him sit down.

ERKANSAS STATE FAIR
 OPENS hT LITTLE ROCK
Gates of the City and State Fair Grounds Are Opened to Visit
 ing ThrOngS.

Little Rock, Oct. B. The gates to the city of Little Rock and the State Fair grounds were opened here today with appropriate ceremonies, and the first installment of the many thous- ands of visitors to the second annual Arkansas State Fair passed through the gates to the grounds.
 Virtually all exhibits were in place with few belated arrivals being in- stalled. Fair officials advertised the fair as bigger nd better and visi- tors have expressed the opinion tha, it is all they say.
 Interest apparently will center in the agricultural exhibits, wit! the me- chanical department running a close second for the men. The women are interested in the various sewing, can ming and home arts exhibits.
 More than two-thirds of the coun- ties in the state have entered displays in competition for the prizes offered fer the best entire county display. ana for the best single exhibits in var1- our lines.
 It is estimated that the number ot birds entered in the poultry show will run well into the hundreds. Live stock of all kinds have moved into the quarters to be occupied during the show.
 A parade led by Miss Anna Marie Slaughter. Of England, chosen in a statewide beauty contest as Queen of Arkansas, was scheduled to pre- cede the opening of the fair grounds.
 Miss Slaughter will be attended by six maids. chosen from several hun dred photographs submitted in the beauty contest,
 Governor Thomas c. McRae an,l Mayor B. D. Brickhouse of Little ROCK and several other officials were sched- uled to make addresses of welcome.
 The Fair will continue throuShout the entire week, closing on Sunday October 18th.
