EARLY REDUCTION OF GRAIN RATES IN SIGHT Interstate Commerce Commission So Orders Effective Not Later than Decemher 27th. The 'Nebraska railway commission received notice Saturday that the in terstate commerce commission had ordered the railroads to reduce rates on wheat and corn in accordance with the findings of the federal com mission in the grain and hay case. The interstate commerce commission had given the railroads until No vember 20th to voluntarily make the reductions recommended and on their failure to do so. the federal commis sion stepped in and issued the pres ent order, which provides that the reduced rates shall become effective not later than December 27, of upon five days notice. Chairman H. G. Taylor of the state commission said the reduction on wheit will be 174 Pr cent from the present rate and corn rates will be 10 per cent more than the reduction on wheat, or 90 per cent of the pres ent wheat rates. -The rates in Tse- braska will differ in accordance with distance from the shipping station to destination. If the rate on wheat is lowered to 20 cents, the rate on corn will be 18 cents. Chairman Taylor said the Nebras ka commission is advised the carriers have already prepared their rates and can file them without delay. If the roads do not seek to delay the new rates could become effective at the expiration of five days; if they do it is highly probable they will not be in effect, until the final date, De cember 27. ' No red tape need be unwound to make the reduced rates applicable to intrastate shipments, according to i Chairman Taylor. When he was in Washington the interstate commerce commission assured him no procedur al action will be required to states under Injunction to have the lower rates apply to intrastate traffic. If tbe railroads do not make them ap ply the interstate commission will do so. IN CRITICAL CONDITION From Tuesday's Dally.

The Ar buckle trial took a new angle today. with tbe calling of a witness by whom J he prosecution attorneys an nounced they hoped to prove a mo tive for the alleged attach dii "Vir ginia Rappe. which it is charged caused her death. This new witness was Jesse K. Norgard. janitor of a motion picture studio. Norgard and Alice Blake and Zeh Provost, show girls, occupied most of the session today'.' Both the show girl3 were present at the party in the rcoras of Uoscoe C. ("Fatty") Arbuckle. in the hotel St. Francis here, at which it is charged he in flicted fatal injuries on Miss Rappe. Xorgard's introduction as a wit ness evoked a long argument, and all he had been allowed to say when court recessed for the night was that Arbuckle once had offered him "a 'roll of bills" for a key to Miss Rappe's room at the studio, and th3t he had refused the offer. Both Miss Prevos-t and Miss Blake fortified that after Miss Rappe had boon found, meaning in Arbuckle's bedroom, she said "He hurt me."
