Judicial Murder, Term
 Applied By Hornsby On
 Brother Hanging in Texas

Despite gallant efforts of friends to save his life, George M. Hornsby of this city was hanged following conviction of murder in Belton, Tex, at 2 o'clock yesterday, according to telegram received here last night by his brother, c. A. Hornsby, 4O3S Fourth avenue, north.
 Hornsby was arrested here in De- cember, 1920, and extradited to Tex as for the alleged unlawful death of J. N. Weatherly. wealthy auto mobile dealer in Brownwood. The case was tried in the Bell county courts and Hornsby was convicted partly on the testimony of Willie Carter, an alleged accomplice.
 About three weeks ago Carter Is said to have confessed that another man named Brown did the killing and exonerated Hornsby. He said he had placed the crime on Hornsby because the police used third degree methods on him and told him Horns by had already confessed. Apparent

CHINESE PUZZLE" TERM APPLIED ID
 MERIDIAN RATES
Freight on Gravel Up 600 Per Cent-AffeCted Roads Losing Business
 Thereby
By RICHARD F. JOHNSTON.

Freight rate muddle caused by the Meridian rate case decision has caused loud complaint from Mo bile.
 Gravel from Dawes and Whistler on the Mobile and Ohio railroad to Mobile, which was formerly charged S25 car of 50 tons. is now charged $150 car for the same material from the same stations.
 Mobile road building contractors declare that the increased rates makes road building under present contracts prohbitive.
 The new and old rates are thus explained:
 Fifteen cents hundred pounds Is the new Mobile and Ohio rate as compared with 50 cents per ton, the old rate. Fifty tons of gravel. which Is usually the capacity of a car, has been shipped out for $25. The new rate is s15o for 50 tons. The increase over the Southern from Glendon is from 62 to so cents per ton and from Walker Springs the increase is from ca to 94 cents ton. Mobile and Ohio and the Southern are party defendants in the Meridian rate case and the new rates fixed by the decision in that case apply to them. The new rates on gravel are an example of how the new rates are operating.
 First Complaint. First complaint coming to The Age Herald was from a live stock farm at Eutaw. which paid $50 freight from Birmingham on car kof mules and horses April and $75 on a similar car shipped April 6. The rates in the Meridian rate case went in effect April 5, hence applied to the second car and not to the first. which moved from Birmingham. 1t is presumed, April 4, This advance is outcome of the decision in the Me ridian rate case.
 Losing Business. Southern railroad is losing business between points traversed by it and other railroads, because the latter continue to charge the old rates and only the Southern and auxiliary roads are affected by the decision. mo- table instance is business between Tuscaloosa and Birmingham, where the Southern, it's agents declare. is liable to lose S50.00O a year by req son of the Louisville and Nashville getting the business at the lower rates.
 Interstate commerce will be asked again to undo the muddle caused by the Meridian rate case. How relief may be extended no expert is pre- dieting.
 Territory Affected.
 Territory affected runs from Me- ridian to Tuscaloosa, Birmingham. Selma, Demopolis. Inside that ter ritory the new rates apply over the Southern, Alabama Great Southern and Mobile and Ohio. Other roads are not affected, hence, where roads other than the Southern and auxil- iaries and the Southern auxiliaries parallel, there are two sets of rates, the old and lower ones and the new and higher ones charged by the Southern ct als.
 Traffic men and railroad officials call it the Chinese puzzle. No de- fense has been presented, the South ern ct als. admitting that they do not like losing money and the ship pers complaining against the ad- vanced rates.
 The advance on gravel on Mobile and Ohio is one of 600 per cent.

ly Carter's second story was not be- lieved, as the governor did not stay the hangman's moose.
