RJHLWAY iWO-OENT RITE W HELD IBM Federal Judge Decides Against State of Missouri. IN CASE AT KANSAS CITY He Declares That the Court Reached the Conclusion That the Traffic Has Not Been Remunerative After Trial?Road Run at Loss. Kansas City, Mo.?A notable decision in favor of the railroads was handed down by Judge McPherson, of I the United States District Court, in j me iwo-ceui iure iiuu< ma.viuiuuifreight rate cases, involving eighteen Missouri lines. The railroads contended that the rates fixed by the statutes of the State were not remunerative, but confiscatory, and asked | that the enforcement of the statute? be enjoined. The State brought proceedings to have them enforced. The maximum freight law involved reductions ranging from two per cent, to forty per cent, on heavy freight in carload lots. The railways secured a zourt order temporarily restraining the State officials from putting this act into effect, and, on June 11, 1907, Frank Hagerman, of this city, representing the various railroads, petitioned the court to make this order permanent. By mutual agreement and at the suggestion of Judge Mcpherson, who desired to have a practical test, the two-cent passenger rate law was put into effect cn June 11, 1907, to run three months. At the end of that period both sides agreed to continue the rate in effect, as the I results obtained had not been consld- ' >red sufficient and the law is still be- I Ing enforced. After many delays, the cases were j finally brought to trial before Judge McPherson. Both sides presented a Jong array of figures to uphold their ;laims, some of the most prominent railroad men and attorneys appearing sither as experts or counsel. The I final arguments were presented on January 20 last. At that time Governor Hadley, who, as Attorney-Gen?ral, had begun the cases, spoke for the State, Mr. Hagerman made the j principal argument for the railroads, | and a dozen other attorneys of prom- I tnence took part. . | The courtroom was crowded with j iawyers and railroad men, eager to bear Judge McPherson's decision. "The question," said Judge McPherson in his decision, "is whether the traffic wholly within the State of Missouri generally referred to in the evidence as local traffic, can be carried under the freight-rate statute of 1907, and the passenger-fare statute of 1907, at such profit as will give a reasonable return after paying expenses upon the investment, or ' whether such traffic is carried at a loss, or less than such reasonable profit. ? ? The court has reached i the conclusion that upon this question j the statutory rates fixed by either and both statutes are not rem'unera- i tlve." The judge says as to the abolition of passes that the evidence shows the passenger revenue is increased Dy reaunn tYiaranf loccr tlmn <"?T1P TIPP rent. I DIES IX CHAIR.

Jones killr-d Llewellyn Bunn at Hempstead, L. I., on September 1, I 1907. His conviction of murder in * the first degree was the first that had been secured in Nassau County. Jones and Bunn were employed in a livery stable at Hempstead. On the j day of the murder they had been I drinking in a negro resort in Hemp- ! stead and a quarrel followed.

Most Drastic Law Ever Put on Statute Books of Any State?Drug Stores Out of Business. Topeka, Ktm.?Kansas has taken the lead of all the States in absolutely prohibiting th3 sale and manufacture of alcoholic beverages. Governor Stubbs has signed the bill prohibiting the sale of liquors for any purpose, and It is the most drastic law ever put upon the statute books of any State. Druggists are barred from handling any kind of liquors, and physicians are prohibited from prescribing them for medicine. Alcohol cannot be used in the arts and sciences. At least a thousand drug stores in Kansas will go out of business before June 1, the date for the publication of the law. Large stocks of liquors in storage, in clubs, in wholesale houses and drug stores will have to be disposed of before the new law takes effect. What will become of the great stock of liquors is a problem. There are a great many prominent Prohibitionists who fear the Legislature went too far in absolutely prohibiting the sale of alcoholic liquors for any purpose, and especially in denying physicians the privilege of prescribing it in their practice. These advocates are glad that the liquor drug store is outlawed, but they argue that in making the law so sweeping there is likely to be a reaction which would bring with it a reign of the boot-legger, the club and tie "joint," which have scandalized several communities of the State. However, the Attorney General's office does not take this view. In a statement John Marshall, Assistant Attoraey-General, said: "This law is constitutional. The Supreme Courts of several States, of Kansas and of the United States have said that a State may entirely prohibit the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors. This law will be ?asier to enforce than the old law. because of its simplicity and because of the power placed in the hands of county attorneys and the Attorney3eneral. "If the friends of Prohibition and law enforcement will not bwrome panic-stricken, but will stand and present a solid front, Prohibition in Kansas will advance to complete victory ia the next two years. We will enforce the law." > i EXTRA SESSION CALLED. President Taft'Does Xot Mention Tarifl Revision in His Proclamation. . Washington, D. C.?President Taft Issued a proclamation calling for an extra session o? Congress on March 15. At the extra session Congress will consider the revision of the tariff, which the Republican party in its platform last year pledged itself to bring about. President Taft has repeatedly told of his intention to secure the revision of the tariff. In his inaugural address he declared that at the earliest opportunity he would call Congress to meet in special session, at which only the question of the tariff would be considered. The call tfoes not mention the object for which the special session is :alled. THE TAFT CABINET. Philander Chase Knox, Secretary of State. Franklin MacVeagh, Secretary of the Treasury. Jacob McD.

Mrs. Taft to Make \V Plans Divorcement of the Presid Private Residence--Uniformei Replaces Steward and Negri Washington, D. C.?Mrs. William Howard Taft, "first lady of the land," has assumed duties without public ceremony or oath of office which, in weight of responsibilities, magnitude of importance, delicacy of execution and lack of compesiation. have no comparison. President Taft is charged under his oath with "executing the office of j President." Mrs. Taft is charged, ! without oath, of administering the social and domestic affairs of the | White House. Mrs. Taft will execute these requirements primarily by means of her long experience in pub lie life. She is in full possession of the detailed requirements of her position, has reached her o^n conclusions, and is already making the minor changes in the administration of the executive mansion necessary to meet her own ideas. The addition of the executive office building permits of an entire divorcement of the official business of the President from the White House proper, ?nd this is to be availed of to the full extent. That the main entrance of . the White House may present as near as possible the appearance of a private residence, the uniformed police officers and frock-coated doorkeepers have been eliminated, and in their place are negro footmen in livery. For safety an officer is retained on duty in the miniature office room inside the main entrance, and another on the second floor of the mansion. The rights of the public are recognized by the maintenance of the hour from noon until 1 o'clock, when admission is granted through the east entrance to the historic East Room and the parlors of the mansion. Mrs. Taft has abolished the position of steward, and will conduct her domestic arrangements through a woman housekeeper. While the season of prescribed official dinners is over, it may be predicted that the new tenant of the White House will conduct a series of infnrmoi enrlfll fnnrHnns dnrlne the special session of Congress which will bring renewed animation and social life to the sedate and sombre structure during the first few months of the Taft regime. President Taft surprised churchgoers by walking democratically to services at All Souls' Church. He was accompanied by his brother, Charles P. Taft. The crowd of curious that had gathered at the edifice to see the new President were expecting him to arrive in an automobile, and the President and party were at the doors of the church before the expectant throng realized that the Chief Executive had walked through the crowd without beinjj recognized. There was no demonstration along the street or at the church. .When the services were over the President elbowed his way through the crowd "DECEIT ALL RIGHT T Chicago.?"Feminine deceit is all right.
