A telegram telling of the revoking t , y
order was received yesterday by E
Itranc.h, secretary of the asaoclatlou. fr..
H. Gower freight traffic manager of the
Rock Island, nn the result of considerable
correspondence. The fruit growers bad Hi- i
resdy made n. complaint f the Interstate
Commerce commission and had Intended to
push thi easj in the evant. of tbe re f usal
of. the rm1 to nieka the desired conces
sion. Frier to November II had been customary
to allow the rtshlpment or reconalgnment
of roods In car lots, from points on the
Hock Island without extra charge, fruit
men In Omaha, Keneas City and other
Jobbing- points war unable to reconslgn
their fruit at mill for a through rate from
tie Martina- point. Tha new order Im
posed a charge of fc! ft car on point east
of the Missouri and IS on oars on the river
unci went. Thla charge did not apply to
fruits from California, and not only im
posed a burden on the commission men, but,
ih"V assert, constituted ft discrimination in
favor of points east of the Missouri river
ii lid California fruit growers. Mr. Branch
took the matter up with the traffic depart
ment of the 'road ond also made a com
plaint to the Interstate Commerce coin
ioheluu. The telegram received yesterday
v.as Hie insult. Owing to the thirty-day
notice required by tha new rate law the

Express Companies Involved.
The Western Fruit Jobbera' association
also has a grievance against the five lead
ing-express companies operating in this

is claimed the express oothpanles, either

f armed Astopsy,
HKRKIMKR. N. Y., Nov. -To phy
sicians Who were present at the autopsy
held on Grace, Brown's bofly went on the
stand t the Gillette murder trial today
and tentlfle.1 that the girl received blows
before entering the water that were suffi
cient to cause death, and which, In their
opinion, did cause: death In this ease.
These physicians Dr. A. O. Douglas and
Dr. II H. . Douglas, both of Mule Falls,
but not relatives, declared under oath that
Grace Ttrown was not drowned. It was
their opinion that she died from blows
which killed or rendered her unconscious
befoi-e her body wa dropped Into Big
Moo.o lake. They declared that there wos
not entmgh water' In the lungs of the body
to warrant a theory of drowning.
Former Senator Mills, Gillette's senior
counsel, conducted the cross-examination.
He spent several hours in an effort to
shake the teatlmony of these witnesses,
and while he aurx eeded In confusing Dr. A.
O. Douglas somewhat, neither of the phy
sicians withdrew their opinion that Grace
Brown was killed or rendered Mnconsc.iouf
before she was immersed in the waters of
Big Moose lake.
The theory advanced by the defense was
that the blows could have been administered
after death, snd the line of Questioning
Indicated a contention that the girl In
drowning loss to the surface of the water
three times and each time struck the over
turned skiff and received the Injuries in
question.
Testlmnay of Physicians.
Dr. O. A. Douglas went on the witness
stand in' tha Gillette trial here today ami
testified that Grace Brown was killed by
Injuries Intltctnd before her body fell into
the Big Moo3e lake, where It Was found.
Chester Gillette is on trial charged with
having caused the young woman's dwith.
Dr. Douglas was one of the physlclunx
who conducted the autopsy on Grace
Brown's body. He also testified that tlic
tennis racquet which Gillette burled and
which tha sheriff found v as capable of
producing; the abrasions snd other Injuries
found on the body.
"The condition of the girl's lungs did not
Indicate drowning," said Dr. Douglas. This
latter statement was stricken out.
Tb Hps were swollen and the tip of the
noss waa enlarged and discolored. The left
center upper tooth was overlapping the
right renter upper tooth. The -left cheek
bone was swollen., . There were abrasions
of the membrane of the lips. These Injuries
were Inflicted before- death, tha witness
aald. The. blood . vessels of the head had
been, separated aa If by blows.
.An objection to the word "blows' was
sustained. .
Dr. Douglas then deacrilied the head as ,

gerere Cross-examination.
In bis cross-examination of Dr. Douglas,
Mr. Mills, senior counsel for Gillette, ques
tioned the witness shout any Indications
the body of Grace Brown might have
shown. The attorney first took up the
subject of tbe girl's eyes.
"Did you say there was much membranee
In them?" asked Mr. Mills.
"You say there was much hemmorrhsge
In them?" asked Mr. Mills, substituting
hemmorrhsge for "membrane."
"Yes."
"Isn't that iu Indication of drowning
usually?"
"U Is."
The witness slso testified that the swell
ing of the Hps, the enlargement of the tip
of the nose snd the light red coloring of
the lungs ware symptoms of drowning. Mr.
Mills then took up the question of the
condition of the lungs as shown at the
autopsy.
"Did they fill the cheat cavity'."
"Tea"
"Isn't that an indication of drowning'.'
"Not necesrarily."
"It Is ordinarily known as a symptom of
drowning. Isn't It?"
"Sometimes."
Mr. Mills thcu'snked Dr. Doug'.as if he
would say thst a body lts.1 been drowned
ordinarily If he saw nlnrged lips, dilated
pupils of the eye, swollen and mattersted
nese tip and reddened lungs."
"If the body had been taken from the
water it would be apt to." said Dr. Doug
las. Mr. Mills continued hie crosa-exsiaiiiatlon
of Dr. Douglas, the question seeming to
Indicate that the defense will seek to show
that the marks and bruises found on Grace
Brown's body were caused by bumping
against the bottom of the boat when she
rose to the surface after falling into tho
lake. Dr. Iiuglas occupied the aland
much ot the afternoon.

of not guilty hs entered by Mrs. Umma I

Moses KaurTmann. when she was arraigned
today before Judge Jones In. the state cir
cuit eoui-t on a charge of murdering Miss
Agnes Polreis. a l-year-old domestic who
was in Mrs. KaufTmann's employ. j
Notice was given that arguments would !
be made for a continuance to. a further .
term of the court. The proceedings were
devoid of senwttional features.
The plea of not guilty followed the pre
sentation by Judge Frank B.. Ail kens, at
torney for Mrs. Kaufman, of a demurrer
to the information against her, which wa
overruled by Judge Jones. It was not gen
erally known In Floux Kails that Mrs.
Kaut'niann was to bo arralngned this morn

llkciy to tie called today, and before 9
o'clock small groups of curious people com
menced gathering at the court house to
await the developments In the case. How
ever, the spectators' serllnn of the court
room was oulj comfortably filled when
Mrs. Kaufroann appeared and a preliminary
disposition wiis made of the cm.
It was about 1O-.J0 o'clock when a hack
drove up before the court house and Mr.
Kaufmann. Mrs. Kaufmann and their son,
Charles, emerged and made their way to
the second story ef the building, where the
court room Is situated. There were no
