In a statement to the press, I'nion R Hunt, chairman of the Indiana Railroad commission, outlines the poli icy which he says the commission will (follow during the coming year. In- ; stead of encouraging expensive liiiga'tion with its annoying: .ielays, the comj mission will continue, according to Mr. Hunt, to seek to act as a mediator between the railroads and the 'shippers of the state. In a few cases this policy has not met with gratifying results in the past, yet Chairman Hunt says that on the whole this policy has been successful and has prevented a vast amount of expensive litigation to the state. "The men who operate- railroads are much like other men,-' said Mr. Hunt, "and we find that in a large majority of cases where they can be brought i face to fact with interested shippers a satisfactory adjustment of the matters in controversy can be brought about. The commission has considerable litigation on hand at this tim growing out of matters touching the validity of the law. for when our orders have not been complied with we have not hesitated to invoke the aid of the courts. Hut when the commission's powers are thoroughly defined by the courts we believe litigation will be rare. Opposition to Legislation. "The opposition to reasonable corrective legislation on the part of the railroads in the past has been shortsighted. Many of them have made the mistake of assuming that the creation of the commission was an unwarranted interference with private business; thtu the national and state governments had no n ore right to supervise the business of a railroad than they had to supervise the business ot a firm or corporation engaged in selling groceries or some other commodity. NO LOW RATES. It develops that the Central Passenger Association at its meeting recently in Chicago decide to dispense with home seekers" rat fr-.-. mic I ...ijj j territory, which is disappointing to states which were benefited by these 1 low rates. It was not only that, but a boon to farmers seeking homes in the West and Southwest and produced a ; large amount of passenger traffic for the Western roads. An official of the ; Central Passenger Association in speaking of this decision to abolish ; the home seekers' rates says it is not due to a retaliatory spirit because of recent legislation, but because of the complications in tariff brought about by new conditional

MINISTER IN FUNERAL SERMON SAID WOMAN COMMITTED SUICIDE AND HIS STATEMENTS CREATED SENSATION. Frankfort, Ind., Jan. 20. Frankfort

is not satisfied with the suicide eory which has been advanced to explain the mysterious death ot Mrs. Klla Dukes, and that the buria4 yesterday afternoon was the final act of ' the tragedy is doubted. Chief or Poi j lice Bird said last night, in his opinion Mrs. Dukes, whose body was found with a bullet wound in her breast, had killed herself. Elder Quincy A. Kennedy, who conducted t he funeral services, referred to the woman's death r.s suicide, but there remain some unexplained circumstances which point to murder. For the first time since her sister's death Mrs. Anna Dunbar, who v.ar; apparently unaffected by the tragedy, was overcome by emotion at the funeral. The husband from whom Mrs Dukes had been separated attended the funeral. He declared that a minister was responsible for the tragedy. He said that a Holiness; minister had promised to marry Mrs. Dukes and the preacher's failure to fulfill this promise had caused her to commit suicide. n Calico Defies Solution. Several strips of calico stand in the way of a solution of the affair. One shred of the calico was found in the dead woman's trunk at her sister's home; other pieces were bound about, her limbs, and still another was found in a vacant lot several squares from the place where the body was found. The absence of blood adds to the murder theory as it is argued thi'f these circumstances can not be accounted for unless the woman was murdered and her body carried to the house on McKinley avenue where it was found. Thousands viewed the body and attended the funeral services. Elder Kennedy of the First Christian church read the story of the suicide of Saul and said that the same conditions may have given Mrs. Dukes a cause to kill herself. Condemns Sensational Rumors. The minister referred to the sensational rumors which have been afloat since the finding of the body and bitterly condemned such stories, which, he said, had caused many suicides. Every word of the sermon was listened to with eagerness and the statements of Elder Kennedy caused little less than a sensation. There is a feeling of unrest in the citj' which is interspersed as a demand for a thorough investigation. Chief of Police Bird will probablv go deeper into the affair, as he has promised to begin an investigation this morning despite his statement that in his opinion the woman committed suicide. Coroner Brown will investigate the affair. A STRENUOUS RULER. Daring, Coolness and Bravo' y Of James IV. of Scotland. One of the interesting characters of history is James IV., king of Scotland froin 1473 to 1513. He was athletic, courageous and fond of adventure. In. putting down Insurrections and improving the criminal administration of the country he was foremost In the ranks nnd did not shuu a hand to hand contest. He mnrried a daughter of Henry VJI. of England and made a treaty wTilch secured peace betweeu the two countries. He labored to build up a navy and develop commerce and showed skillful diplomacy In dealing with other nations. Ho was killed in battle at Flodden, where his army was disastrously defeated by Henry Till. Those were strenuous times, when it was necessary for a king to be a fighter Jfnd to inspire his obstreperous subjects with some degree of terror. King James used often to go about the country in different disguises, not only because he loved adventure, but because he could thus secure information on the state of the nation at first hand. It is related of the vigorous Scottish king that once when wandering through the hills during the night he was overtaken by a violent storm and was obliged to take shelter in a cavern near Weniys. wich Is one of the most remarkable antiquities of Scotland. Having advanced some way in, the king discovered a number of men and women ready to begin to roast a sheep for supper. From their appearance he suspected that he had fallen into evil company, but ns It vras then too late he asked hospitalitr from them till the tempest was over. They granted it and invited the king, who was unknown to them, to ait down and join them at 6tiprer. They were a notori ous band of robbers and cutthroats and this fact soon dawned upon Jaine. As soon as they had finished their supper one of them presented a plate on which two daggers were laid in the form of a St. Andrew's cross, telling the king that this was the dessert they always served to strangers; that he must choose one of the daggers and fight him whom the company selected as his antagonist. The king, realizing that he was to be murdered, instantly seized both daggers, one iu each band, and plunged them Into the hearts of the two robbers nearest to him. He then dashed out of the cave and made sible with a body of soldiers, by whm the whole baud was arrested and pub - -id, L8nged.-Puaxsuu wuey Spirit.

TRESTLE COLLAPSED AND TRAIN FELL Three Men Were Killed and Two Fatally Hurt in a Railroad Accident. WRECKAGE CAUGHT FIRE. PEOPLE ATTRACTED TO SCENE SOON EXTINGUISHED THE BLAZE EXCURSION TRAIN, HAD NARROW ESCAPE. New Albany. Ind., Jan. 20. Three were killed and two fatally injured in a freight wreck at the Corydon June- J tion, on the Southern Railroad, 17! miles west of here yesterday afternoon when a freight train plunged over a trestle 1 feet high. The dead are: Clarence Dunham, engineer, ,"!0 years of age; W. H. Scott, fireman, aged US: Frank Carter, brakeman. aged J-". The injured are .lames Prichett. conductor, aged :;.". and Clyde Stewart. brakeman. aged ';. Hi of this city. The train, which was a special west bound freight, consisting of two cars, engine and caboose, left here at 11 o'clock, and the accident happened shortly after VJ. The engine, a huge mogul, which had been in use on the road only a short time, left the track and the trestle gave way beneath its weight. The dead and injured were brought to this city. The wreckage caught fire, but the people of the village, attracted by the crash, quickly extinguisned the names. Just twenty minutes before the wreck occurred, an Evansville passenger train, every coach filled with Sunday excursionists, had passed over the trestle. Victoria Water Lilies. The giant water lilies -which are known now as Victorias, after the late queen of England, are natives of the warmer portions, of South America, where they thrive in lagoons and in the quieter portions of rivera. Haenke, a German botaaist, ftest teported their discovery in 1901 and-'ajartied all Europe by his description of their gigantic leaves and flowers. Almost half a century had elapsed in fruitless experiments to introduce the plant into the old world when in 1S49 the first flower opened on the Duk of Ievonshire"s estate at Chatswrth. Kuland.

There are evidences that the enengagement of Miss Gladys Vanderbilt to Count Lazio Szechenyi, appears to have caused a split in the Vanderbilt family. At a recent dinner given in honor of the visiting members of the Szechenyi family, Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt were conspicuous by their absence. The pictures at the top are those of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred G. Vanderbilt. Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, mother of the bride-to-be is shown below.
