Joseph, angular strongjawed raiflroad conductor deseribed by Hoeltje ag a leader of the Fort Wiyne terrorists, sald he “knew of no affiliation”™ with the cult. In a belligerent statement however he said he would join immediately any organization which would promote return of the public whipping post to chastise wayward officlals and criminals.

Denying Hoeltje's charges he asserted that statements of both Hoeltje and Marion O. Miller, former chief deputy were untrue. Miller had confirmed Holetje's story, and added that both had been forced to join the Black Knights. Heldon W. Wollmann former deputy assessor in Hoeltjje's office denied any knowledge of the cult's existence.

RAILROAD FARES REDUCED Cut To Twe Cents Ordered By In terstate Commeree Commibssion In Effect Rallroad passenger fares throughoat the United States returned to 2 cenis a mile in day coaches and 3 cents In Pullmans with the Pullman sarcharge eliminted. The reduction from & basle 36 cents & mile which has provalled since 1920 was ordered by the Inferstate commerc, commission over protesty of 23 eastern roads which have started litigation to prevent it It puty rall fares back to where they were In 1914

Although it applies to the entire country actually the reduction aflfecty only the east. since the 2. cent fare has been In operation experimentally for several years In the south and wesat. It wag ou the basis of these experiments that th, Inters state commerce commission decided to apply the lower rate to the east All eastern carriers except the Bal timore & Ohblo united agalust the reductions. The Interstate commerce commission refused to recoansider.

The theory behind lowering the rates was that the rallroads which have lost passenger business steadily to bug lines and private automobiles, will win bacy some of that traffie without material additional cost. Advocates contended that It costs no more to hau! a full railrond car than one only half occupled, anl! that the lower rateg would fill the cars. The eastern roads, however held that while this might be true 'n the south and west it 4id not hold necessarily in the east, region of heaviest rall travel. Wall Paper—Knight's Drug Stors
