ILL FIGHT RATES
Sutter Manufacturers Opposed
to Advance Freight Rates
R. R. TO CONTEST CLAIMS
A Butter Famine Promised by the
Manufacturers if Fight Should Fail
in Illinois New Schedule of Tariff
Unjust
CHICAGO, June 8.-Sixteen of the
largest manufacturers of butter in
this state will open the fight against
the proposed advance of freight rates
on cream and milk before the Inter
state Commerce Commission next
Wednesday. The advance in tariffs
are to 125 per cent. A butter famine
is promised should the fight fail.
Commissioners Prouty and Harlan
will hear the testimony and argu
ment. The railroads will contest the
claims of the buttermakers, declared
tfce schedule to be fair. The manu
facturers report represents the plants
to be worth $1,000,000.
They annually put out $150,000,000
worth of butter, more than one-quarter
of the entire output of the whole
country. They pay the farmers of the
Mississippi Valley states more than
$50,000,01)0 annually and spend more
than $1,500,000 a year on railroad
freight rates.
In their plea to Judge Kohlsaat,
several months ago these butter
makers invoked the aid o fthe court
to restrain the common carriers from
putting into effect a new schedule of
tariffs that, it was asserted, would be
excessive, unjust and almost confisca
tory and the restraining order, the
first of its kind ever issued, was
granted.
Should the buttermakers fail
their recourse to the Interstate Com
merce Commission to prevent the es
tablishment of new tariffs they say
they see no alternative other than
to stop business. The. margin of
profit, they say is less than one half
a cent per pound net. A disturbance
of the rate that have been in effect
for 14 years, it is alleged, not only
to compel the millions invested in
creamery stations in Kansas, .Ne
braska, Missouri, Iowa, Ilinois, South
Dakota, Wisconsin, Indiana and oth
er states but would cause an actual
loss to them of more than $1,000,000
annually.

CHICAGO, June 8. The Cook
County jail was transformed into a
house of worship for several minutes
yesterday when 650 prisoners joined
in prayer asking that the death sen
tence of Herman Uillik be commitod
to life imprisonment.
The prayer meeting, without equal
in the history of the jail, was entirely
unpremeditated. Hillik's wife and four
children were visiting him. Just be
fore they left, his daughter, kneeling
near her father, started a prayer.
"O, God please save my papa," she
sniil
Word was quickly passed from tier I
to tier from the women's ward to the
pen". The building, which a few mo
ments before hal been filled with
. . .it
coarse laughter ami coarser iuik,
quieted down and even the most hard
encd criminals there offered up a
word of prayer that Hillik's life might
be spared
Billik himself, although he knows
that unless Gov. Dineen and the
Board of Pardons act in his case to
day, he will die on the gallows Fri
day, was apparently cheerful.
"I am confident that the Lord will
take care of me", lie said.
"I am innocent of the murder of the
Vzral family and I know Father O'-
Callaghan and others who have work
ed in my behalf have obtained evi
dence enough to cause the governor
and the Pardon Board to save me
from hanging.
"But if it is decreed that I must ltf.
I will walk to the scaffold without
fear and will repeat there that I am
innocent."
