FEDERAL COURT ISSUES ORDER IN RATE CASE Service Commission Body Must Not Fix Level Lower Than Feder Trade Commission. STATE BODY RESTRICTED Judge Anderson Hands Down Decision in Suit Brought by Thirty Railroads. Ths Indiana public service commission has the right to fix intra-state railroad freight and pasenger rates in Indiana—so long as these rai.es are not less than those set by the Interstate Commerce Commission. This in brief is the effect of an order entered by Judge Albert B. Anderson in Federal Court today in connection with the suit for injunction brought by thirty railroads in Indiana against the public service commission last April. A temporary Injunction Issued in j Federal Court forbid the commission j from interfering with the establish- 1 tnent of rates approved by the Inter- \ . elate Commerce Commission. The! order today made the Injunction per- j manent as to the time between the: granting of the temporary injunction j and the present, but did not enjoin the commission from fixing rates in j the future. However attorneys for both sides j say it leaves the public service com | mission in the position of being obliged ; morally to set no rates lower than those fixed by the Interstate Commerce Commission, for if this were done the railroads could seek exactly j the same relief granted them in! April.

Many Chinese Praying to Kuanti to End Warring

PAOTINGFU, June 30.—Kuantl, God of War, the Chinese Mars, is being worshipped by thousands of heavy hearted Chinese throughout Norths em China today. Fragrant incense, tall red candles, oil in great bronze bowls are burning in front of the powerful god, who occupies the throne of honor in the various temples built to him. Cakes, fruit and nuts are placed at his feet, and the libation cups are filled with rare wine. Hundreds of pilgrims come daily to the temples bringing silver paper spirit money, incense and offerings, j They kneel on the red mat before | Kuantl and bump their heads on the floor three times, beseeching his I mercy. The Wu Sheng Miao—Temple to j the All-Powerful War God —In PaoI tingfu is one of the most beautiful and best kept up in China. Tsao Kun, the nominal head of the Chihli I faction, which, under the leadership iof General Wu Pei-fu, has defeated ! the powerful Mukden war lord, [ Chang Tso-lin, has spent thousands ;of dollars having this temple repaired. Is Georgeouaiy Decorated The temple, which is built of gray brick and Is composed of many buildings opening upon courtyards and gardens. Is gorgeously decorated in the most brilliant colors. Battle scenes of long ago, when spears and bows and arrows were used instead of aeroplanes and machine guns, are depicted on the walls and ceilings. The three largest buildings of the temple are the theater, the worship of Kuantl. the god of literature. This deity, who is to the military classes what Confucius is to the literary classes, possesses a strange dual personality. Tho great theater, with its seating capacity of 2,000, Is the scene of many gay events during peace, when old military plays are staged. Just now its stag/, which extends far into tho audience; its balconies and main auditorium are being used to house hundreds of soldiers. Kuantl, as the god of war, is seen riding a great roaring horse; as tho god of literature sits serene and calm on his throne reading an ancient classic. Tsao Kun spent many hun dred dollars for an unusually large and fine statue of Kuanti, the god of literature, last year. Ho bought \ the great red-faced idol —which is > many times the size of an ordinary man—in Tientsin. Notables Offer Prayers On the opening of the battle of Changhsintien Ridge, under the per- I aonal generalship of Gen. Wu Pelfu, j Madame Wu, accompanied by her two j little sisters-in-law and their amahs, j drove to the temple and offered up ; prayers for the success of Wu's cam- j paign; while in the Wu Pei-fu home, j in Paotingfu, Kuanti occupies a position of honor and incense and can- j dies burn before his shrine. In the country around Paotingfu ! hundreds of coolies were drafted in-! to service as cart drivers, trench dig- ; gers, laborers; and the poor old rela-

WILLARD FINDS BETTER STATE OF BUSINESS WEST

Railroad Executive Says Crop Conditions Are Best 1 Since 1915. 1 / , By United Press NEW YORK, June 30.—Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, has Just come back from a trip through the West that j took him as far as Seattle. In an interview with the Dow-Jonea Financial Agency, Willard gives an exceedingly optimistic view of bust ness conditions in tho West and Middle West sections, with which he became familiar, as an official of the Burlington Railroad. "At Minneapolis,” said Willard, "1 j f 'Und every one confident that the j spring wheat crop not only of Min | nesota but also of the Dakotas, would j bo tho best since the record crop of 1915. All of the minor crops promise practically as well. I never saw hay in better condition, and this is true in all tho States I went through. Mills Work to Capacity "At Seattle lumber men told me that nearjv all mills of the North west are working to capacity and j curiously enough the railroad men I told mo that the railroads were haulj lng eastward as much lumber as ever, I even though much Is going out by j water. "Coming back through the sheep j country of Utah‘and Idaho, I heard* i It said everywhere that the ranchers ! had made lots of money this year. ; Not so many sheep are on the ranges ! as on some former years, but the i number is Increasing and the wool j clip is being marketed at profitable j prices. With the cattle situation it j Is much the same. Herds are being i replenished and cattle prices are ris I ing "In Colorado, where farming is done j under Irrigation, they always have | good crops and this year is no excep- j tion. In Kansas, Nebraska and lowa the corn belt, corn Is a little late, but 1 has a vigorous stand and a fine color, j "Winter wheat is made. It Is be- j Ing cut everywhere, and the yields are large and of excellent quality. Steel Mills Work 75 Per Cent "When I passed through Pittsburgh j and Youngstown on the way out, steel j men told me mills in that district were ! working about 75 per cent of j capacity. Three weeks later they said j it was about 80 per cent. Building is ; active in Minneapolis, Seattle, Denver, | Omaha, and Chicago—in fact all over the country. Copper mines in the West are a little backward, but are picking up, while lead mines are either running full, or preparing to do so. "There Is no doubt in my mind that the crops are going to add several billions to the National wealth this yeqr, and go far to restore prices, j With a big production of grain, hay, j cattle, wool, lead, iron and such basic j commodities coming out of the vast j interior of the United States, I submit that there are solid reasons for hopefulness.” Germans In Russia By United Press LONDON, June 30.—Krupps’ after war offensive In Russia has begun, it j has been disclosed here.

Judge Thomas Wahllon rapped for or- i der. Then Just as the bailiff reached the door the bird escaped and flew back • into the courtroom. William Smith, probation officer, hurried from his station at the right side of the judge and assisted Pausell in recapturing the bird. The sparrow was carried to a window and liberated.
