Carolina, and to the western part of the state based on the through rate to Paint Rock, a point on the Southern Rail way on the state line between Tenn essee and North Carolina, plus the local rate to the North Carolina cities. The - commission in its decision, states that the proposed . rates will ;ffect reductions averaging over 20 per cent ; The commission decided, however, that the rates proposed through the Memphis gateway should be estab lished as proportional rates only, ap plicable on business originating in the territory west of the Mississippi riv er, -and -so limited in their application as to prevent, the increase of discrim ination against the intermediate points of : origin; " This, while not giving the exact rates - desired, was declared to be satisfactory By both the state com missioners - and attorneys for North Carolina shippers and the railroads when the suggest ion . was offered by the commissioner at the hearing. Officials, of ; the Southern Railway declared today that they believeed that they could arrange tcj put the new- tariffs in ' effect within 60 days. This would . require the publication of the , proposed new rates and their filing with the commission within 30 days, as the law law requires 30 days' notice of new rate. The Commisioner's Orde - Washington, D. C, March 13. The Interostae Commerce Commission is sued the following order in the North Carolina rate case: "It is ordered that pending the action of tTiif" Commission upon any of the applicants for relief from the provisions of 4th Section, filed by the carriers or their agents On or before February 17, 1911 respecting cla:? d commodity ratu from theC h o riv er cities and St. Louis Mo., to North Carolina points, the petitioners here in be, and they are hereby authorized .to establish rates named in the ap plication as amended from the Ohio. river cities and St. Luois Mo., viar the Virginia cities and via routes- through Atlanta, Ga., Ashville, N. C' and Johnson City Tennessee to North Carolina points, applicable on busi ness coming from sta tions west of the Mississippi river, pro vided such, rates from Memphis be so limited in their application as to prevent increase in discrimination a.- gainst intermediate points of that origin; but the commission does not hereby app.-ove any rates being sub ject to complaint, investigation and correction if in any conflict with anv provision of the act. It is further ordered that when the commission passes upon application for relief from the provisions of the 4th Section, with respect to the rates herein referred to, the order issued with relation thereto will automatically cancel the authori ty herein granted as to the rates cov ered and affected by such order."

Miss Richardson has been on a '.'hun-, ger strike" since her arrest. She said her act was premediated and she - pleaded guilty, s . . - - Addressing Judge Robert Wallace, who presided over the court, Miss Richardson said: . . . s -'? ,. , "I am an art student, but I care more, for justice than for art. I firmly believe that when the' nation has situ t its eyes to justice and has allowed women who are fighting for justice to be maltreated and tortured such an action as mine 'should be understood Says Nation Seems Dead"."; . VThe slow .and, premediated murder of -Mrs. - Emmcline. Pankhurst is the ultimatum which has made necessary the recent acts of her followers. The nation seems to be dead or visleep, for we women have knocked vainly at the doors of ministers, bishops and archbishops and even the Kind himself. "I know that you wH sentence me. 1 can stand only a few months' tor ture, but my fate makes little differ ence. 1 am really a grateful and happy women because I have been able to live in a century in which Mrs. Pank hurst lived and because in a slight measure I have tried to carry out what 1 believe in.' '. -As Judge Wallace was about to pas sentendce the following colloquy oc curred : The Judge: "If the picture had been destroyed no money could have re placed it." Miss Richardson: "Do you realize thit no money (":in replace Mrs. Pank- 'hursl? She is lieing slowlv killed." the Judge: "You have pleaded g,iil ty and have gloried in your crime." Miss Richardson: "1 don't say that I think it a shame I had io consider it ni! duty to do it." The Judge: "li is in duty to piss sentence of six mouths imprisonment. I recognise lh: i i hi- sentence is to tally i.-ide--..i!te, but it is the maxi mum st ! ". nee tor damaging works .:. art. If the offense had b-.ei win .,- breaking I could have given t lie pris oner eighteen months imprisonment." Miss Richardson looked ill and it was suggested in some quarters that the precarious state of her health had been the reason of the taking of the unusual course of hurrying the trial. The charge against the prisoner avs-s "malicious damage to a picture." Acts Of Violence Injuring Cause Dr. Shaw Declares. New York, March 13. Militant methods and especially the lastest act or the English suffragettes in slashing the valuable "Rokeby Venus," were declared today by Dr. Anna Howard Shaw to be working a great injury to the' cause of votes for women in this country.
