The saga of Jc-se James, notorious Missouri outlaw of the seventies, received new impetus recently with the story of John Hill, a former neighbor of the Jamc ’ family. According to the Pawnee, Okla, resident, the bandit cached part of his loot in a cave ;.t Newkirk, north of Pawnee. Hill claims that James "planted ’ it at the time he was hard pressed by a sheriff’s-posse. Such l.mdmaik. ;.s Jesse’s grave and l}is, old homectead remain to keep the tale of the outlaw alive today.

LOWER RAILWAY FARE FORESEEN ■ Examiner Reports Pres ent Passenger Fares Are Too High Washington. July 17 (U.R) Possibility that American railroads might be forced to reduce their passenger fares to two cents a mile was seen today in a proposed report to the interstate commerce commission. Irving L. Koch, examiner for the commission, reported that the present regular basic passenger fare structure of 3.6 cents per mile is unreasonable. He recommended that the commission establish two-cents-per-passenger-mile fares in coaches and three cents per passenger mile in pullmans. Koch also held: That experimental fares in the southern and western districts, seeking added passengers at low' fares, are reasonable and lawful. That pullman surcharges, made by the railroads for passengers who ride in sleeping cars, are unreasonable and should be eliminated. That extra fares ae now charged for ‘extraordinary" service are lawful. Although the present basic fare now is 3.6 cents a mile, numerous railroads in the south and west have lowered it drastically. The commission has set Oct. 3 and 4 as the dates for oral argui ments on the passenger fare situ--1 ation. It probably will make Its decision about six weeks later. If it follows precedents, it likely will follow in general the recommendations of Examiner Koch. COURTHOUSE

ERANCE SEEKING I CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONG politicians were fearful also of popular response to economies that would affect the public. There i were days of crisis in which two I governments fell and several men i of high national repute failed in I efforts to form new cabinets. The swart stocky Laval, senator and mayor of the "red" Paris suburb of Aubervilllefs. undertook the job of administering to the country the unpalatable pill necessary to its welfare. He wrung from a reluctant parliament semi-dictatorial powers to send parliament, home and rule by

decree until next winter. Since then, for weeks, he has been studying the situation. The decrees were drafted in Anal form and yesterday the cabinet met to approve them. Twenty of the decrees provide for economies totalling 10,959.000,000 francs ($727,129,650). Wages of civil servants were reduced on a scale ranging front 2 per cent on salaries of more than 5.000 francs ($332) a year to 10 per cent on wages above 10.000 francs. War pensions were cut 10 per cent. A supper-income tax of 50 per cent was imposed on all income over 80,000 francs (ss,ftSl a year. The munitions and war industries profits tax was raised to 25 per cent. A 10 per cent wage cut was provided for state-owned railway workers. Taxes on negotiable stock were raised from 17 to 24 per cent. To offset these economies, Laval and his ministers issued eight decrees designed to cut prices and promote economic recovery. A 10 per cent decrease was ord-
