DE9 MOINES. May ?. (Speelal.) Tha
Iowa railroad commissioner today entered
an order In relation to passenger rates In
Iowa that la likely to be of far-reaching
consequences In the railroad business of the
state. The commission gave formal permis
sion to the railroad companies to apply the
long and short haul princlpls at compete
tlve points only on passenger business in
Iowa, or that a railroad company having
the longer line as between two points
should be permitted to reduce Its rate to
meet the short line competition without th
necessity of at the same time cutting all
its rates along the line. The applications
for this permission came from several
sources, but at this time from the Illinois
Central road. Complaint waa made that
under the Iowa rules the company having
tha longer line la virtually shut out of
competitive business In passenger trade in
Iowa. It 'was desired that the lines might
become In fact competitive for the business.
The board issued a general order to th
effect that permission should be given for
meeting this competition until further or
der. . Under the Interstate commerce rules
thla plan Is adopted all over the country,
and the commissioners were unable to aee
any reason why It ahould not be applied
here. It Is believed that the permifion
will affect rate at a good many points In
Iowa and causo a general shaking up In lo
cal business.

on raspberries, blackberries and strawber
ries In the north, central part, but in the
southern part there has been lors because
of the dry. cold weather of the winter.

down the river, and a search was made for

Iionat Sentence Affirmed
Fifteen year at hard labor for a Second
degree murder 1 regarded a not exces

Lewis Smith received such a sentence from
Judge Wheeler for having killed a com
nanion known only as "D. C." at Avoca
a fow years ago. They went there to a
fair to operate a cane rack and got into
a quarrel. Smith cUimed that "D. C."
attacked him with a knife and he shot In
self defense, but the court held that It
was not shown that Smith made the proper
effort to avoid a conflict or to retreat to
prevent bloodshed, and ths sentence was
not too great.
Cas of Frand.
A fraud question came up In Glbbs
against Farmers and Merchants bank from
Fremont county, wherein a note at the
bank for $3,100 had been partially paid
and when finally all paid a slip of paper
had been pasted over the early endorse
ments and new endorsements marked
thereon. The plaintiffs sought to recover
for over-payments due to fraud in con
cealing true credits, but th court holds
that they must prove the overpayments
and fraud and th fact of peculiar endorse
ments wss not sufficient.
