CBy The United Press)

Washington, April 25.-EXtensive reductions of the railroad rates will be announced by the Interstate Com merce Commission within the next ten days, it has been learned from official sources The decisions will be the outcome of the hearings held by the commission recently in re gard to the rate question.

With the rail road earnings increasing the mem bers are known to feel that the rate slash is now possible. Such ac- tion will do much to stimulate the business life of the country, Presi- dent Harding is strongly urging that the body expedite it's decision. Just what commodities will be included is not definitely known but the cuts will probably affect the coal, steel, farm, manufactured food and other manufactured products.

SUNDAY BALL
 BEING TESTED
 HELENA COURT
Ministers of Arkansas City Enter Prosecution But Ju-
 TOTS Are Unable to Agree Arrests Made at Park.

Helena, April 25.-The jury in the case of 10 young men arrested Sunday afternoon at Caney Park on charges of playing baseball on Sun day failed to agree after they had deliberated for 30 minutes and a mistrial was ordered. The jury was composed of David Myers, T. R. kel- ley, J. NJ. Noland, J. c. Brown, J. B. Lambert, J. l.. Altman, F.. H. Hess, T. J. Mott, ]. G. Higgins, II, M. Houston, V. J. Haydel and James Thornton. The case was given to the jury at 11:13 a. m. and they returned to the courtroom at .11:25 a. m. announcing that it would be impossible for them to reach a verdict. They were then ordered to retire and consider the verdict for 15 minutes, and return ing at 11:40 again reporting that they could rot agree. They were then dismissed.
 It is understood that the poll of the jury was five for conviction and seven for acquittal For the past several weeks it has been talked on the streets that Sunday baseball would be tested out in Helena, and two teams were selected for a game Sunday afternoon.
 The Protestant ministers of the ,it tD apIr 1i n n c until the last half of the first in ming was being started Then they | left and returned to Helena, where they furnished Sheriff Mays with | | list of 10 men who had been par ticipating in the game. The sheriff | then went to the ball park ant placed them under arrest.
 When municipal court convened yesterday morning at 9 o'clock the Iattorneys for the defense asked fo' jury trial and Sheriff Mays wa
 instructed to summon a venire o I24 qualified electors to report. A | 10:30 the case was opened and aft CT having selected the jury three O
 the Protestant ministers testified
 for the state.
 The defense based it's case on the
 facts that full game was not play
 ed and therefore could not be called
 a baseball game. This point, how
 ever. was thrown out by Judg,
 Burke. in his charge to the jury
 in which he stated that the lav did not specify a full game.
 The other point by the defens
 was that certain baseballs, bats
 etc, were necessary to play baseball and no evidence had been intro duced to show that these instru lments were used Sunday. No dat has been set for the retrial, of tn ease, and it has not been learne, whether another game will be ar Iranged for next Sunday or not.

FOREIGNERS ARE BUSY IN
 U. s. POLITICS
Diplomats Line Up Their Nationals for Organiza- ton of Solid Votes-ltaly First to See Idea.

Genoa, April 25.-Activities of foreign diplomats in the United States in lining up the nationals of their respective countries for orL ganizing solid votes in American political campaigns are being freely discussed in European circles and by American business men and poli- ticians touring the continent.
 The French alone, because of the scarcity of French colonists i'll the United States are not attempting to obtain a "Gallic bloc" and the Brit ish are confining their efforts to straight diplomatic lobbying. Ital-
 ans, Greeks, Germans, Poles and Slovaks all are engaged in consolid- ating their children to vote solidly henceforth.
 The Italians have succeeded best so far. Signor Ricci, the new am bassador, practically has abandoned his diplomatic work to tour the cities containing Italian colonies where he is making speeches urging his fellow countrymen to become naturalized so they can vote and cast their ballots unitely to protect Italian interests
 Former Premier Giolitti first real iZed the tremendous advantage of directing solid Italian vote in America from Rome during the Will son campaign when the excitement over the British stand on Plume was at it's height.
 The foreign diplomats in their speeches are urging their country men to become naturalized. saying this will abolish hyphenism, but beneath the camouflage this reason is detected obtain votes. The Greeks are anxious to line up the voters against the Turks and are carrying on propaganda against the strong pro-American circles in America in order to retain Thrace. The Poles and Germans in America are also working among their na- tionals to gain support in their bitter fight.
 Americans abroad are familiar | with fhe Sjtuatiou and thpv urga the State Department to investigate
 the covert electioneering, regardless
 of whether it is in favor Of the ad- ministration, as an intrusion of for
 eigners in American International
