Western Union Seeks
To Enjoin State Tax
Board i'm u. S. Court

Helena, Oct. 7.-(By the Associat-
ed Press. THE state board of equal
ization is ordered by Judge George
NJ. Bourquin of the United States
district court, to appear before him
in Missoula next Saturday morning
to show cause why temporary order
restraining the board from making
effective its assessment for taxes on
the property of the Western Union
Telegraph company in Montana
should not be issued. The order was
issued Saturday by Judge Bourquin
at Missoula.
The state board, it was set forth,
has assessed the telegraph company
on the basis of S114 a mile, or an
aggregate total of $1,31S,665. Last
years assessment, in round figures,
was $SS0,000. The property was as
sessed this year by the state boards
expert, it was said, at S1,0SS,000, and
the basis given was 100 per cent val
uation, while the general valuation in
the state is IA per cent. 1t was
further represented that the assess
ment of the Postal Telegraph COM
pany's property in Montana is on the
basis of SS5 a mile.
Discrimination by the state is one
of the grounds alleged by. the peti-
toner in this case.
The Western Unions case was pre-
sented by John G. Brown, of the
law firm of Stewart Il Brown,
Helena.

Senior Senator Will Speak
Neither for Nor Against
Col. BroOkhart.

Des Moines, Ia, Oct 7-Senator
A. B. Cummins will not enter the
Iowa campaign either to defeat Col

cratic candidate, but he may make a
few speeches in defense of the trans
p6rtation act unless he finds that such
action would injure the candidacy Of
the republican congressional candi-
dates.
The senior senator made it clear
that he had not changed his opinion
of the colonel but said that his let
ter regarding Brookhart, which Clyde
Herring read at one of his meetings,
was not made public with his consent.
"BrOokhart has denounced me for
two and half years and for my atti-

At MURDER Of
CHURCH PAIR?
Police Seek Two Who

Fired in Dark Lane.

New Brunswick, N. j., Oct. IA
man and woman believed to have seen
the murder of the Rev. Edward
Wheeler Hall and Mrs. Eleanor Rein
hardt Mills. choir singer, on the night
of September IA. were being sought by
investigators Saturday night.
If the couple can be found and made
to tell their story, which, it is whis-
pered, they already have recounted to
their friends, investigators believe that
the mystery of the double murder will
be solved.
According to the report, the two
missing witnesses were in a goldenrod
fringed path near the country road
running into the Phillips farm when
they saw an automobile with a sedan
body dash up the lane. It's occupants
were shouting, according to the story.
Five shots flashed in the darkness,
three in quick succession and two 9th
ers after a distinct pause. The scream
ing of a woman in the closed car added
to the fright of the couple in the path.
The two witnesses, as the story
goes, did not wish to have their pres
ence on the spot revealed and ran
hastily to Buccleus park, nearby,
where the man had left his automo-
bile While they were there they
again saw the sedan in which the
shooting occurred. This time it con-
tanned q woman and two men and 1t
passed them under a street lamp,
which revealed its occupants clearly,
as the story has come to the local in
vestigators.
1t fits into the testimony of 4. e.
Cooper, who said that on the night Of
the murders, when he was driving
home from Somerville with his family
he passed q car with three people in
it, although he thought they were two
women and a man.

Export Grain Rate
For Montana Fought
By Rail Commission

Helena, Oct. 7.-By The Associ-
atcd PreSsl Proposal of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad to put
into effect Monday a reduction of Z
cents hundred pounds on the freight
rates on wheat shipped from Montana
points to Puget Sound terminal for
export, is opposed by the millers of
Montana and by the state railroad
commission.
II is argued by the commission that
wheat shipped under such rate must
so through the elevators ut Pacific
points and that there is no way to
aording to f.. G.. TOomey, secretary
of the commission, that the proposed
reduced rate would merely put Mon
tana flour into Seattle, Portland and
Tacoma at a low rate, there to be
milled into flour and turned back onto
the market in Washington and Or agon
at price 80 low that Montana flour
mills would be unable to compete.
The principal market for Montana
flour is in Washington and Oregon"
said Mr.. Toomey. IF it were possible
to insure that wheat shipped to Pacific
coastports for export would actually
be loaded on ships and sent to the
Orient, the rate would be an advantage
to Montana. 1t is said, however, that
under no policing system possible to
the railroads can the export be as
sured. The wheat has to go through
the elevators before being loaded on
ship and in the elevators it is lost.
The reduced export railroad rate
would merely mean the loss to the
Montana flour mills. of their principal
market"
Protest at the proposed reduction
was telegraphed to Washington Sat
urday by the state railroad commits

SHOOTS WOMAN WHO
REFUSED To ELOPE.
I HEN KILLS SELF.
Fires When She Declines to
Leave With Him; Also
Wounds Her Relative.

Trenton, N. j., Oct. 7.-Enraged be-
cause Mrs. Joseph Matthews refused
to elope with him, Charles NJ. Shinn
of Philadelphia Saturday shot and
wounded Mrs. Matthews and her faith
er-in-law at their home in Cookstown,
brought the woman to hospital here
and then ended his own life with three
bullets in the head.
Mrs. Matthews was reported to be
in a serious condition. The father-in-
law was not seriously hurt.
Shinn, according to the police, had
been attentive to Mrs. Matthews for
several years. About two years ago
she met Joseph Matthews, then a SOL
dier at Camp Dix, fell in love and
eloped with him to Bristol, Pa, where
they were married.
Mrs. Matthews went to live with the
elder Matthews at Cookstown when
her husband returned to Camp Dix.
Shinn, the police say, later learned
that Matthews had been sent to the
military prison at Leavenworth for
some offense, visited Mrs. Matthews
and induced her to leave with him.
When Matthews recently finished
the term, he went to Philadelphia and
induced her to return to the Matthews
home in Cookstown.
Shinn, the police say, followed, ac-
companied by Charles II. Oliver, a
friend. Leavinr, Oliver at Wrights-
town, he wer. to the Matthews home
and demanded that Mrs. Matthews 60
back to Philadelphia with him.
The elder Matthews intervened, ac-
cording to the police, and after a
struggle, Shinn shot him through the
shoulder. He then turned the gun on
Mrs. Matthews. inflicting three body
wounds.
Apparently overcome by remorse, he
seized the wounded woman, bundled
her into an automobile and told the
driver to hasten to Mercy hospital
here, where he helped attendants car
ry her into the operating room.
AS he started to walk out he stop
ped suddenly and drew pistol from
his pocket.
This gun has got me into a lot of
trouble today" he was heard to say.
II might as well make a complete job
of it."
He then shot himself three times in
the head, dying two hours later.

to catch him at the middle sack.
Schang ended the offensive by striking
out.
Gave Tip Too Soon
Bob Meusel began the Yankees
seventh turn at bat with a roller that
Groh had trouble in handling. On
the way to first Meusel slowed down,
seemingly with the thought that it
was no use to run. Otherwise, he
could have got there safely, for Groh' S
throw was bad and Kelly dropped it
and had to step off the bag to pick
it out of the mud. AS it was, the
seconds later that Ward bombarded
the bleachers with his home run,
making a goat of Meusel.
Then came the last chance in the
ninth and reckless disregard of it by
Higgins men. Pipp slammed the
first pitched ball down the left field
line for two bases. He was trapped
off second on Meusers poke to Groh
Yankee hopes began to expire, but
they flared up Immediately when
Schang got long single into left
There was only one out and Meusel
had gone to third, so that it was ex-
pected that Schang would be Sacri-
feed with one base on his hit, but
he wasn't. He tried to reach second
and failed. Ward ended the game
with a fly to Meusel Had Schang
been willing to leave well enough
alone when he reached first, Bob
Meusel probably could have scored
after his brother caught Wards fly.
One Sloppy Game
Even leaving the Yankees base
running out of it, the game would
rank as one of the sloppiest in the
history of worlds series. The rain
never was weary. 1t began in the
morning as gentle mist. Little
drops began to fall during batting
practice. They were coming down
steadily as the first inning began and
the fans in the bleacheres covered
themselves with umbrellas and news
papers. After the fourth inning, the
rain fell more heavily and steadily,
so that the bleachers seemed blur
to those in the grandstand. De-

lows that Me- uillan and Mays
worked on practically even terms.
Each had one bad inning. McQuil
