RATES IS ORDERED
BT FEDERAL BODY
<
American Company Is De-
nied General Increase and
‘ Revision of Schedule on
New Basis Ordered
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.—New
bases for the application of interstate
express rates were laid down today
* by the interstate commerce commis
siion in a decisioin which refused the
American Railway Express company j
the right to make a general increase
which it asked. Express companies i
were ordered to establish new sched- i
ules on or before February 21, next,
incorporating the changes.
Present interstate express rates ap
plied to food articles of nearly all
I kinds, the commission held, are too
high and should be reduced by
amounts ranging from 10 to 11 per
cent. The companies were required
to make the reductions by installing
charges which will equal those in es
« feet on October 12, 1920, when in-
• creases to the present levels were
made. ‘
Two Zones Eliminated
In outlining the principles to gov
ern the general revision, the com
mission pointed out that rates are
now built up on the basis of five
zones, one for the northeastern sec
tion of the country, one for the
southeast, one for Mississippi-Mis
souri territory, one for the Rocky
Mountain area, and one for the Pa
cific coast. There are differences in
the factors of rates between each
zone, and the commission decided
that these result in too great a dis
crepancy. Accordingly, a three-zone
system was ordered into effect, one
zone to take in generally the north-
• eastern section of the United States,
the second the southeast and the
•? third to include all of the territory
west of the Mississippi river.
In the rate re-constructions to be
made on the basis of the zones, the
commission held that the expiess
carriers might include a haulage fac
tor charge of 25 cents per 100 pounds
for the first 50 miles in the north
eastern section; a factor of 27.5 cents
' for the first 50 miles in tne soutn
• eastern or second zone; and 30 cents
for the same distance in the third
zone,,
The general arrangement now fol
lowed of blocking out the country in
50-mile squares for the purpose of
fixing express charges was said to
be satisfactory with the amended
zone arrangement and the express
companies were ordered to woi k oti
rate schedules, for later submission
to the commission.
„ Pigeon Rates Reduced
• In dealing with two minor points
raised during the general rate st udV_
the commission ruled that hereafter
rates on fibre or reed should be re
duced to an equality with like rates
on wooden furniture. Racing or
homing pigeons, it was also sairt.
• should hereafter be hauled at the
x second class rate over distances not
exceeding 400 miles, instead of the
first class rates now charged.
The question of express rates was
brought under investigation by the
comm-sion in 1922 following a re
duction in general railroad fieight
rates.
"Taken as a whole the evidence
of record leads to the conclusion
that In the absence of a general in
dustrial depression, the express bus
iness should steadily increase. ’ the
commission said. “There is no evi
dence that utilization of present ex
press facilities generally is approach
ing the point of saturation.”
The opinion, was expressed that
with a good volume of business the
American Railway Express company
’ could make proper earnings and at
the same time give the rail lines
t which handle its traffic a fair re
turn.
The Southeastern Express compa
ny which operates separately, was
said to have begun business two
years ago but to have encountered
"a healthy growth,” under present
charges.
Ford at White House;
Discussion of Shoals
Disposal Is Reported
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.—Henry
Ford, who came to Washington to
day to appear before the interstate
commerce commission hearing affect
ing his railroad properties, conferred
briefly with President Coolidge, dis
cussing, it is understood, the status
and disposition of the administration
toward his offer for Muscle Shoals.
Mr. Ford, after seeing the presi
dent, reiterated that his offer for
Muscle Shoals, now pending before
congress stood. Beyond saying that
the question was discussed with the
1 president during the twenty-minute
conference, however, he would not
disclose what details were considered.
He was accompanied by E. G. Lie
bold, his secretary; W. B. Mayo, his
engineer, and C. B. Longley, one of
his attorneys.
On leaving the White House Mr.
Ford was asked if he cared to make
a statement as to his attitude toward
movements looking toward his nom
ination as a presidential candidate.
His only comment was: ‘“Humph!
That would be funny, wouldn’t it?”
Mr. Ford and his party also called
on Secretary of War Weeks.

NAVY PLANS FLIGHT I
DVER NORTH POLE:
MW USE DIRIGIBLE
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.—-An ex
haustive study of the records of va
rious Arctic expeditions and othc.’
scientific data is to be started short
ly by a special board ot naval offi
cers appointed to work out a detailed
plan for a flight next summer to
the north pole.
“Extensive exploration over un
known regions adjacent to the pcle,”
is to be undertaken and Pre-dent
Coolidge, in a letter giving formal
approval to the proposal, expressed
the opinion that the expedition “will
be of great practical value,” No addi
tional appropriation from congress,
it is thought, will be needed to car
ry out the plan.
The boa.u will determine whethe"
the trip is to be made in the big
navy dirigible Shenandoah or in air
planes equipped with skiis, and will
outline all other a-..-.,.~,-ments for
the flight, which is expected to pro
vide, incidentally, keen competition
for the American expedition’s second
attempt to fly over the pole about
the same time. This ’rivalry, how
ever, will be especially friendly, in
view of the assignment by the navy
of Lieutenant Ralph Davison to
pl. ’ one of Cantala Amundsen's
planes.
Admiral Moffett has urged for
many months the practicability of
polar exploration by air, and has re
peatedly expressed the opinion that
the Shenandoah could make the
trip.
Carrier Pigeons Used
In Smuggling Drugs
Over Mexican Border
LOS ANGELES, Cal., Dec. 3.
Trained carrier pigeons are bring
ing narcotics across the border from
Mexico in such quantities that the
price of at least one drug in under
world markets has slumped per
ceptibly, according to federal agents
here.
Hundreds of these pigeons, each
carrying a moisture-proof package of
the drug fastened beneath the body
or under the wing, axe liberated
from the Mexican headquarters of a
smuggling gang at specified times,
according to narcotic agents. A few
hours later they are being “checked
up” at their owners’ home on the
American side of the line, it is said.
The statement was issued au
thoritatively -when one of the border
flying birds was wounded by a hunter
and picked up by a narcotic agent
who happened to be watching the
air for a smuggler’s plane.

LONDON, Dec. I.—Guard your
laurels, American beauties, the
British darlings are coming!
Andre Chariot, the Flo Ziegfeld of
London, has chosen two dozen of
the loveliest of 1,000 pretty maidens.
With his beauty exhibits A to N
he will storm New York on New
Year’s eve.
Half of his unusually trained
chorus will be composed of blondes.
All will be pretty of face, grace
ful of figure, supple in dancing,
harmonious in voice—a defiant
threat to the dazzling dainties of the
American chorus.
Chariot recently returned from
an inspection tour of the United
States. He carefully indexed the
beauty of the land.
Although he does not say so, it
is evident that he is confident the
striking women he has chosen to
represent England in the battle of
beauty will emerge successful after
a tilt with the American types.
Nine hundred and seventy-six
girls, considered charming to the un
trained eye, were rejected by Char
iot for some slight affliction, such
as:
Thick ankles, bad teeth, unkempt
appearance, lack of expression, sing
ing out of tune, stiff movements.
The, most typical, best looking
cleverest dancing, tuneful singing
chorus ever exported from London,
according to critics, is guaranteed
six weeks’ work, first-class passage
both ways across the ocean—and SSO
a week.

Nicotine Found Good
As Calcium Arsenate
For Weevil Control
CLEMSON COLLEGE, S. C., Dec.
4.—Promising results in controlling
the boll weevil by the use of nicotine
as a substitute for the calcium arsen
ate commonly Used in poisoning the
pest have been obtained by the South
Caroline experimental station, accord
ing to a statement made public here
today by Professor A. F. Conradi,
etymologist in charge.
Tests have been under way for sev
eral months, Professor Conradi said,
and comparison of results obtained
by the use of the nicotine showed
that it was as effective as the cal
cium arsenate used in neighboring
fields.
The nicotine is applied as a dust,
similarly to calcium arsenate. It is
obtained from waste tobacco and can
be prepared more economically than
the arsenate preparation, it was
stated.

AUBREY NICKELS
GIVEN ANOTHER
LEASE ON LIFE
TALLAHASSEE, Fla., Dec. 4.
Aubree Lee Nickels was given an
other lease on life today when the
state supreme court ordered that its
mandate be recalled from the cir
cuit court of Volusia county, that
the case be reinstated on the docket
of the court nad that a rehearing
be granted on the question of
whether a writ of error coram nobis
should have been granted in the
case by the circuit judge. ,
The court's opinion expressly
states that the question of the guilt
or innocence of Nickels cannot be
considered in this proceeding, but
that the rehearing is granted so that
the court may again consider the
question whether the transcript of
the record brought to the court on
wiit of error duly shows that Nickels
pleaded guilty under such fear or
duress as to render the plea a
nullity and the subsequent pro
ceedings on the indictment invalid.
Action of the court was taken on
a plea of James 11. Bunch, of Jack
sonville, counsel for Nickels, who
filed w'th the C/urt several days ago
an extraordinary motion asking that
the court reopen the case which it
already had twice declined to inter
fere with. Mr. Bunch argued that
the plea of guilt entered by Nickels
was made by reason of fear of per
sonal injury in the court room and
of mob violence, which, he claimed
was void and also nullified all fur
ther proceedings of the lower court,
including the sentence of death
which was passed on May 1, 1923.
To execute Nickels under the sen
tence thus passed, the attorney de
clared, would be without due process
of law as “provided in the state and
federal legislation.”
Withdrawal of its mandate by the
supreme court marks the third time
the death warrant called for execu
tion of Nickels has been recalled.
Following his conviction of the
charge of attacking a white woman,
of DeLand, on December 8, 1921, a
warrant was issued by the governor
setting the date of execution for
June 21, 1922. This was nullified by
granting of a. reprieve, after which
the board of pardons turned down a
plea for commutation of sentence.
The second death document was is
sued, fixing the time of execution
for August 22L 1922, but counsel for
N.ckels obtained a writ of error and
carried the case to the supreme
court, which refused to interfere
with the judgment of the lower
court both on the petition for a new
trial and on the motion to reopen
the case.
The case then was carried before
the state pardon board which again
declined to commute the sentence,
and the third death warrant was is
sued November 24 fixing date of
execution for December 14.

CONFESSION FORCEDI
BY ’■ DEGREE’
REFUSED BY COURT
RICHMOND. Va., Dec. 4.—Dcclar
ing the testimony of how the police
obtained an alleged confession from
Joseph Enoch “reads like a page
from The Inquisition,” Judge D. C.
Richardson, in hustings court here
today, refused to allow the docu
ment to be presented as evidence in
the trial of Enoch for the murder of
Miss Celia Shevick in April, last.
Judge Richardson said it was easy
to understand how one situated as
was the prisoner at police head
quarters would sign such a state
ment.
The alleged confession is regarded
by attorneys in the case as the most
damaging link in a chain of evidence
which the police claimed to have
woven around Enoch. Hearing of
evidence and arguments on its ad
missibility into the trial consumed
three days, during which the jury
was closeted in charge of court offi
cers. The defense contended that
the alleged admission was extorted
from Enoch after he had de
prived of food and sleep and had
been subjected to abuse at the hands
of police, while the latter bitterly
denied that accusation, and, through
Chief C. A. Sperry, asked Judge
Richardson to inquire into their
methods.
Judge Richardson, in his ruling
on the question, said, in part:
“The bill of rights, which is now
a part of the constitution, provides
as follows: ‘Nor shall any man be
compelled in any criminal proceed
ings to give evidence against him
self.’
“But id is also a law of this com
monwealth that the voluntary con
fessions or admissions of any per
son accused of crime may be used
in evidence against him.
“The evidence of the police offi
cers as to the manner and methods
by which the alleged confession of
the accused was obtained reads like
a chapter from the history of the
Inquisition of the Middle Ages.
“I do not see how any one with an
unbiased mind can hear or read that
evidence without coming to the con
clusion that the accused was com
pelled by mental torture and phys
ical exhaustion to give evidence
against himself, and ’ that the al
leged confession was not a voluntary
confession within the meaning of
the law.
“I, therefore, decide that the al
leged confession is inadmissible as
evidence against the accused.
“I do not express any opinion as
to the guilt or innocente of the ac
cused, as the evidence in the case
has not been fully heard.”

Ending Search That
Lasted Eight Years
SCRANTON, Pa., Dec. 3.—Thfc
finding of a boy’s skeleton, together
with evidence making identification
positive, in a swamp near Greeley,
Pike county, Pennsylvania, yester
day, brought to an end a search of
more than eight years for 4-year-old
Jimmy Glass, son of Mr. and Mrs-
Charles Glass, of Jersey City, N. J.
A pair of shoes and garters en
circling the bones of the legs wer?
identified by Mrs. Glass as those
worn by her child when he disap
peared from their summer home at
Greeley on March 15, 1915. Two
brass snaps used to shorten and
lengthen the straps on overalls
found near the skeleton, also aided
in the identification.
The skeleton was found Saturday
by a deer hunter in a marshy woods.
It is about two miles from the
boarding house where Jimmy and
his parents were spending the sum
mer. There were no marks ot
violence and no bones were broken.
On the day of his disappearance
Jimmy was playing near the board
ing house. His father now believes
he wandered off, following a pet dog

woods around Greeley were rtamped
for days, a dam was dynamited ana
a pona drained but without success.
Gypsy bands everywhere were held
up by the police and their caravans
and camps searched, and the parents
traveled thousands of miles following
clues that failed to bear results.
County authorities estimate that the
search cost SIOO,OOO.
