RAIL RATES REDUCED 0PER CENT BY ORDER
 OF COMMERCE BOARD
(continaed from page one. )

commodities. which generally take class rates.
 It was chiefly on this point that supplemental and dissenting opinA ions were filed. Chairman McChord, and Commissioners Lewis and Cox advocated sharper commodity reduc- ticns, rather than the horizontal cuts decided upon by the majority. Mir. McChord likewise dissented to the 575 per cent fair return provision, while Commissioner Potter suggested also reductions in passenger rates.
 Stability Desirable
 Practically all agree that tho stability of freight rates is highly desirable" the majority opinion de- clared, "and that normal traffic may not we'll be expected until the present widespread expectations of rate reductions is realized or dis- pelied To assume that rates can or skould be stabilized on the present high basis is futile"
 In discussing tho fixing of 5.75 per cent as . fair return standard the commission also observed that the federal corporation income taxes are substracted from earnings before profits are figared, and that the figure 1t set would be approximately the equivalent of . fair return of eight per cent out of which tho federal income tax was payable.
 Az stated in technical language to the railroads, the commission said that after July l 1t would hold un- reasonable rates, Including more than the following percentages of in- crease over the rates in effect im- mediately prior to August 26, 1920" and set up the territorial schedule as follows:
 'In tho eastern group. also be- tween points in Illinois, territory and tween points in Illinois territory and easern group, 2s per cent instead of the 40 per cent authorized in tho decisions last cited dncreased ratts O. 1s20).
 Tn the western group and between the western group and Illinois terri tory 215 per cent instead of the 3b per cent so authorized.
 Tn the southern and mountain Pacific groups. 12.5 per cent instead of the 2b per cent so authorized.
 "on inter territorial traffic except as otherwise provided herein, 20 per cent instead of the s3 1-s per cent so authorized"

NEGRO PRAYS
 MEMBERS OF MOB
Denson, Fed and Clothed, Glad to Be Back in
 Jail Again
By Associated Press

Macon May 2a.--Jim Denson, negro youth. prayed unusually long in the Bibb county jail tonight before he threw himself upon his bunk for his first real sleep this week. He prayed for the menrh CTS of the mob that broke into the jail at Irwinton Tues day, dragged him out and attempted to lynch him; and prayed for his ulti- mate release.
 Denson Is under sentence to hang on June Is for an alleged attack upon an aged white woman some three years ago. His case went to the su- preme court of the United states.
 Believing that escape from the mob was an act of providence there arc numerous persons of this and of Will kinson county, it was reported to- night, who will ask Governor Hard wick to commute his sentence to life Imprisonment.
 Denson was captured this morning by posse which did not believe In lynching. They turned Denson over to Sheriff L. F. Player at Irwinton who few hours before had declared his belief that Denson was dead.
 As soon as the negro could be fed and clothed, for there were only a few rags left on his body, he was rushed to the county jail in this city.
 1awdy, boss, looks mighty good. jail, sho do." said Denson as the car in which he was riding swerved into the gateway of the local jail.
 "Proud To He Herer
 fse sho' mighty proud to be here" and he smiled until his big white teeth glistened. "They tied & rope around my neck" said Denson, then they dragged me into the car. I asked them to let me pray and they replied that they hadn't time.
 "I heard them say they would shoot me just out of town. The knot on the rope around my neck was choking me. l reached up one hand in the dark and felt the slip knot. I united 1t. The car was speeding SC miles an hour. l says to myself, Jim jump or be kilt. I jumped feet first Ham, fluey-just like that-I hit the ground on my feet and then on my head and then 1 must have Hopper over four times and rolled into the ditch.
 When l got out of the ditch sew eral shots were fired at me. I crawled but they kept on firing. I got up and ran. I was barefooted, my clothes were torn orr me, and the gravel cut my feet"
 At sun-up yesterday the negro said he obtained bread from another negro and then returned to the swamp. At sun-up today, he said, he crawled out and got plums, being nearly starved Then he heard the bloodhounds on his track.
 Pretty soon a white hound came upon me-" said the negro.
 "I kept jumping from one side of the creek to the other. l couldn't shake him. He got right up 10 my hesis, so I stopped. snapped my fin gers at him and iawdy,' he curled his tail and walked right up to me. l took off my belt and tied him to me.
 The negro had this hound tied to him, was playing with second hound and was fighting off third when the posse reached him.

CONDITIONS Uf JEW IN EUROPE HEARD BY LOCAL PEOPLE
Homeland for 5000, ,0O0 Suf- fererS in Europe Urged by Speakers at Jefferson
 Mass Meeting

Conditions of the Jew in Europe are unbearable, and the young Jewish men and women there are turning for refuge in other directions but none are open except that of Pales- tine.'' Dr. Alexander Goldstein, noted Jewish lecturer, told an audience last night at the Keren Hayesod mass meeting held at the Jefferson theatre. Fully s2,00O was raised last night of the local quota of the keren Haye sod fund which is $9.0O0.O00 cam paign that the Jews of America are putting on to reclaim Palestine as their homeland to which those desir- ing may return.
 Birmingham quota in the drive Is s15,000 of which $S,000 has been raised. Local leaders are confident that the Jews of the city will put Bir- mingham lover the top" within the next few weeks.
 Eight Million Homeless
 Dr. Goldstein pointed out that there are more than s.000,00o Jews in Europe practically all of whom are suffering and desirous of leaving
 
 them, he declared, and Palestine is left as the last resort. The young Jewish men and women of Europe are anxious to settle in the former homeland but there is only question of money involved, he said.
 Dr. Goldsteins lecture was deliv cred in Yiddlsh.
 Patterson Speaks
 Col. John H. Patterson, associated with the Jewish volunteers during the war, was the final speaker on the program. Colonel Paterson has been active in the Jewish campaign for reclaiming Zion. although he is not himself Jew.
 "No fear should be felt over the possibility of Palestine not being con- verted into the nation of the Jews again for there is nothing that can prevent it." said Colonel Patterson. "The climate of Palestine is wonder ful. the country Is beautiful, the soil is rich and in every way ideally suited to be a. nation of a great people"
 No Fear of Future War
 Colonel Patterson lightly referred ica and Palestine might at some time come to war. He termed it absurb, saying that America would be the last country that Palestine would think of declaring war on.
 Latady Cites Scriptures
 Judge A. Latady was the first speaker of tbe evening. He spoke for only four minutes, dwelling on the prophecy of the Bible concern ing the Jews and how 1t had been fulfilled. He quoted the Bible in saying that the Jewish nation was to be restored and would have an nuinion of influenca in world a fairs

Harding Passive

Governor Harding is not seeking ,reappointment. It is believed, how
 ever, that if reappointment came
 without solicitation, he would accept it. Senator J. Thomas Heflin of Ala bama, the bitterest critic of Harding,
 said some time ago that the Pres ident would not dare reappoint Ha d.
 ing but that If he did the Senate would refuse to confirm him. Rep resentative Tincher of Kans&s said today that if the President wanted to defy the farmers of the west he
 could GO so by reappointng Hard ing.
 On the other hand, Representative
 McFadden, chairman of the banking
 and currency committee of ie
 House, and Senator Mclean, chairman
 of the finance committee of the Sen
 ate, openly advocate the reappoint- ment of Harding. They contend that it would be folly to change the chief administrator of the law just as prosperity was preparing to dawn after an era of peril and panic. There is nothing more interesting to Congress today than the case of the governor Of the federal reserve board.

President in Doubt

It Is intimated in administration circles today that President Harding would like to reappoint Governor Harding both because that act would please the business men of the United States and because he feels that Gov ernor Harding's administration of t1e federal reserve act has been highly efficient. He is deterred, 1t is said, because Of uncertainty as to the eff feet the reappointment would have on the farmers of the country. In all such matters the President Is moving with extreme caution, possibly be- cause a new Congress will be elected the coming fall
