(Special to The Times. Durham, N. C, Dec. 20 Durham has been stirred deeply today by the presence in jail here of Nathan Mon- tague, a young negro charged with assault, murder and arson last night in Granville county. Sheriff Wheeler rushed the crimi nal across the country tais morning at 7 o'clock, having found him in his home about 1:30, after little or no preliminary. The discovery of fire in J. L. Sander's home, near Hester, Inst night aroused the neighbors about 10 o'clock. They reached the burning house but no one was about On the ground were found a ter- Bible tell tale of assault' ahef murder, u girl's hair and clothes, torn from her, blood in a copious pool over the ground. Near the torn up ground was a big pocket knife, bloody, un questionably the instrument of death When the fire died down, the charred bodies of Miss Mary Sanders, her father, J. L. Sanders, and the lit tle granddaughter of two years were found. A neighbor immediately re- cognized the knife and ascribed its ownership to Nathan Montague. Sheriff Wheeler was called by tele phone and went immediately to the ..negro's home. He found the fellow trembling, bloody, with hair on him There was no resistance. From that place ho hurried the fellow to Dur ham. Already excitement at Oxford has grown to be intense. The figuring of the knife in the arrest of the ne gro was , not a piece of desperate grasping for a clue. It so happened that yesterday the young girl was at a neighbors, assisting in killing hogs and the negro was also there. The knife that he used lu scraping the hogs was the knife remembered by the relatives and friends of the girl. When seen it was immediately recognized; as the possible property of the murderer. Sheriff Wheeler kept the presence of the negro as much a secret here as in Granville following the coro ner's inquest. Brother Goes to Scene. Wilson, N. C, Dec. 20 Mr. W. B Sanders, of this city, this morning re ceived telegram from Granville coun ty .stating that his father, mother, pister and two nephews were murder ed and burned at their home near Stem last night. Mr. Sanders left for Stem today. No details are obtain able, ' (By Leased Wire to The Times Washington Dec. 20 There Were many evidences at the capitol today that members of , the house are speeding on their way to their res pective homes for the-Christmas holi days. Several of the committee find it difficult to obtain a quorum, and when the house was called to order it was apparent that a quorum was not present. Notwithstanding this the house proceeded with considera tion of the legislative, Judicial, and executive appropriations bill. Present indications are that the heaviest travel out of Washington for the holiday season will be in full awing tonight. : The house and sen ate will not adjourn for the holidays until late tomorrow afternoon. But it Is believed . that there will be only a corporal's guard in each branch of congress at tomorrow's session. Con gress will re-convene on January 4, at which time the senate will he in possession of several of the appro priatlon bills and the house will be ready to consider without interrup tion all appropriation bills not yet reported. It is expected that these big supply bills will be disposed of in the house 'with such. rapidity as will enable the leaders to take up late in January or early in February some of the most important legislation de manded by President Taft. Senator Galllnger introduced in the senate this afternoon a bill di recting the secretary of the treasury to.- accept from';. Nathan. Straus, of wew York, the pasteurized milk lab oratory which Mr. Straus has estab lished in this city. A delegation of citizens from Alex andria county, Va., arrived at (hf 1) n e i CvnAr Vrrs;U capitol today for the purpose of do- uwmvu OO IV LrApui I tiCJgUl manding legislation which would re- store to Alexandria county the sum of $100,000 which, it is claimed, is owed to that county by the govern: ment. According to their claims the Virginia legislature, acting under the advice of Chief Justice John Mar shall, loaned the federal government $100,000 ,to be used in the construc tion of the capitol on the ground ceded to the government by Virginia. A number of years later the legisla ture transferred its claim against the government to Alexandria county with the understanding that the money, if collected, would be used in the construction of a boulevard from Washington to Mount Vernon, which was never done. : 'i,::; t-; , . . : , v ...a-. . 3..&fl i CTisI ' ; -XY III j- J'W -4 - i If if .

The com mission,' however, reserves the right'.-.; to consider '...'-complaint against any particular rate. The commission decided: ' 1. Tliitt inland export and import rates arc subject to the provisions of tho act, and .within, the jurisdiction of the commission. . 2. That the" fourth'. section of the amended-act forbids carriers subject, thereto, without, authority from the commission in accordance with said section, to chnrge more for t he trans portation of a IJke kind of export or import traffic for a shorter than for a longer haul over the same line In the same direction; that is, the validity of a rate under this section is de termined by comparison of an export rate-with an export rato or an import rate with an import rate. " 3 Carriers are not required to establish export and import rates which, shall be measured and limited by domestic interstate rates between the same points of origin and desti nation in the United States;, but as export and import rates, as well as domestic interstate rates, aro subject; to the provisions of the act and the Jurisdiction of the commission, it is clear, says the commission, that the reasonableness of any of these rates under the provisions of Section - and questious of discrimination un der the third section, may ail be con sidered and the commission may con demn any discrimination in export and : import rates, upon comparison with those applicable on domestic in terstate traffic, to the extent that the same may be found unjust or uijrea' sonabio in any particular case upon investigation and full hearing. - CASE DWillES AWAY Cases Sadie Thayer and John Deen a Farce What Should Have Keen I ue "of I lie Most Sensational Trials, Becomes Trivial Case Woman Hacks Water Completely Statement to Police Does.
