In the front yard is a high flagstaff, and every vessel passing Is saluted. Stave Bared Many Live. Every coastwise captain blows his whistle as he passes the McKenzie home, be It day or night, for the Mc Kenzies have been responsible for the saving of many ships and lives. Many ships also have gone ashore below their home, and Mother McKenzie and her girls havo furnished food, warm cofffce and aid to the shipwrecked passengers and crew while the men folks assisted In other ways. Kobert McKenzie left Scotland In 1854 and went to Australia to make his for tune. Two years there and he sent for his sweetheart.

Mackay, It wan learned today, have traced the authors of the "Poison Pen" letters which linked the name of Mrs. Mackay with that of Dr. Joseph A. Blake, whose wife has sued Mrs. Mackay for $1,000,000 for alienation of his affections. Upon receiving the confidential report of the head of a well known detective agency that charges contained in the "Poison Pen" Jetters were absolutely unfounded, Mr. Mackay 10 days ago cabled Mrs. Mackay that he would re turn to New York on the Olympic of the White Star line, due here on Wed nesday. It was not until he received cable advices of the impending; publicity In connection with the suit brought by Mrs. Blake that be changed his plans and went to Paris, leaving his 14-year-old daughter Catherine to return on the Olympic and rejoin her mother at Port land, Maine. In New Haven it was learned today that Joseph A. Blake Jr. has not re turned to Yale. It is believed by friends of the family that the young man has about succeeded in bringing about a reconciliation between his father and mother, who have been living apar for nearly two years. Mrs. Blake Is expected to discontinue her $1,000,000 suit against Mrs. Mackay, although no definite statement on this poijnt has been forthcoming. In the complaint served on counsel for Mrs. Mackay, no charges of misconduct were made against either Mrs. Mackay or Mr. Blake. George Gordon Battle, attorney for Mrs. Blake, when asked today If there was any truth in the reported reconcilia tion between Mrs. Blake and her hus band, smiled and said: "There is no change in the status of the case." Mrs. Blake was away from home to day. Dr. Blake was also absent from his country place at Litchfield. Conn. Friends of Mr. and Mrs. Mackay were quoted today as predicting an early set tlement of the differences that have re sulted In their separation. Mrs. Mackay has been regularly re ceiving letters from her children, it was said. They were with their father at the Mackay shooting box in Scotland, but when they return to New York they will go to their mother. Mrs. Mackay and her husband exchange cables day by day. In Mrs. Mackay's defense it was said that Dr. and Mrs. Blake were separated for IS months or two years before Clar ence H. Mackay called in Dr. Blake as his physician. Dr. Blake subsequently operated on Mrs. Mackay twlqe. This was the beginning of the close acquaint anceship which led to the present breach. In case of legal trouble between them," said their friends today, "it is more than probable that Mrs. Mackay will fight to have poseaaslon of the children. One of them is quite young. There are no charges of Improper con duct in Mrs. Blake's suit, and the chances are that the courts will let the mother have the children." MEDF0RD INITIATIVE FREIGHT RATE LAW VOID, DECLARES JUDGE (Continued From Page ceive for shipment of goods in carload lots. As Is well known to everyone, freight rates for shipments of 'goods in quan tities less than In full carload lots are always higher than the rates for ship ment of goods in full car lots. Itie Medford bill provides a scale of Just how much higher this shall be. This scale Is expressed in percentages. For example, the law says that where the railroad has fixed the minimum weight of a car of goods at 20,000 pounds, the carload rate for that com modity shall not be more than 70 per cent of the less than carload rate. Iitw Walpsaws Company. ; This means, therefore, that the rail road'' company, In such instance, must either make its less than carload rate so high that it Is almost prohibitive, in order to make anything on the car load rate, or It must make its full car 16ad rate so low that nothing will be made on the larger shipments. In either instance, the railroad com pany is bound to suffer, In the opinion of the federal Judges, and no words are wasted In the saying that such is the case In the decision. For many years there has existed on all railroads In the territory west of Chicago a scale of freight rates which has been known as the Western Classi fication. This has been adopted and recognized by the Interstate- Commerso Commission, as Well as. the State Rail road Commission of Oregon. The Initiative act classification dif fers ' materially . from the Western Classification, according to the decision,- and In commenting upon this dif ference, this the Judges in their decis ion say:..: . "As to classification, the first three sections of the act are incongruous and Wholly irreconcilable and cannot be ob served in practice unless the carrier In many cases waives some portion of the less than carload rate and this the law does not require. The act therefore can not be enforced without doing injustice to the carriers, which Is the same as taking property without due process of law, XiKw Is Incongruous. "Thus It will be found that in the application of carload rates under the initiative act, assuming that the less than carload rate remains the same, the rates will be largely Increased for the carriage of coal, hay and straw, lumber, brick, stone,' sand and livestock, while on the other hand there would be a re duction in such commodities as grain, flour, salt, groceries and other articles which are usually carried In the smaller quantities." "So It is at once apparent that the Initiative act, if applied for freight rate regulation, would work a very radical change In practically all rates and re quire an almost complete readjustment in carload and less than carload rates within the state. "We have nothing to do with tha policy of the law. That is a matter solely for the law power. We can only determine whether It Is susceptible of practical operation. Bigid "Spread" Impractical. "It becomes manifest, from a con sideration of all the various conditions that go into the making of freight rates, that it is hardly possible to adopt and apply a rigid 'spread' in classification between less than car load and carload rates so as to pro mote the best Interests of carrier or 'were killed In the battle which ended shipper, and it is Illy adapted for JustJ10 disastrously for the rebel army. equitable, reasonable and lndlscrimina tory ratemaklng for all commodities and all conditions. "From the bills of complaint that were submitted In these cases, It ap pears that reasonable maximum rates have already been established by the Stato Railroad, commission for th-a regulation of transportation companies. Observing these regulations, the com panies have been left to themselves In regulation of the 'spread' and It would seem now to fix an absolutely rigid spread.' as is done by this act. unduly trenching upon the rights of the com panies. "We do not deny that the legislature, the people or the railroad commission may determine and adopt a reasonable 'spread' as applied to specific com modities, but that is a very different question from one arising from an edict that a certain definite and rigid 'spread' shall be applied to alT commodities, re gardless of their charater.or the dis tance that the shipments are to be made. "Indeed, the act would seem to de feat Itself. Act II Void. "We conclude," says the decision, "that the Initiative act la unconstitu tional and void and must be so treated. The injunction is Mllowed and made permanent and the defendants are to pay costs." The order thus made applied to all the cases Instituted by all the railroads of the state against the railroad com mission. These cases, which, as stated before, were instituted as injunction suits two weeks after the people voted upon the measure, were directed against Clyde B. Altchlson, Thomas K. Camp bell and Frank J. Miller, as members of the State Railroad commission: A. M. Crawford, attorney general, and district attorneys and prosecuting attorneys of nearly every county In the state. This was done to prevent any of these offi cials from attempting to enforce the act until it could be passed upon. The cases were started by all the railroads in the state. Demurrers to the cases were Interposed by the rail road commission, and other defendants and these demurrers were overruled. Arguments wero heard at the time of this demurrer, and because it was so lengthy, at that time the case was al lowed to go to the judges on. Its own merits, without any further discussion. A, special act of congress provides that where state officers are made de fendants in an injunction suit before a federal court, three Judges, two of them of districts and one of the cir cuit court of appeals, must hear the arguments. In this Instance Judges Bean and Wolverton represented this district, and Judge Gilbert was the cir cuit Judge.

Ameri can and Mexican refugees began pour ing In here today, fleeing before the jebel force which, defeated In a des perate three days' battle about 75 miles to the southward, were at last accounts themselves In full flight toward the border. On their way, the refugees declared, they were destroying all property for which It was possible the federals might find use. Tne territory is one where there are big American Interests, and It was believed their losses hne been heavy. Depp anxiety was felt also for the lives of Americans between the border and the retreating line of rebels. It was said more than BOO Mexicans made for a great reception on his ar rival here. Diaz Denies It. Fantander, Spain, Sept. 29. Porflrlo Diaz today denied that he intends re turning to Mexico. He came herewith his wife to bid bon voyage to fhelr daughter, Donna Amada, who sailed for Vera Crui. "The only condition on which I would return to Mexico would be In the event of foreign Invasion," lie said. "I can not say whether that-will come or' not, but if it did I should feel compelled to go. I do not consider that there is any likelihood of war between the United States and Mexico. "I could have stifled the Madero rev olution If I had cared to, but I felt that If it came to a head it would be better for the country. But It now looks as 'hough the republic would not be pad fled for a long time. The rebels take the field because they wish to live by pillage and robbery." General Diaz added that he intended to live In France for the moment, but would probably spend considerable time In Spain, having secured permission from the Spanish government to live there. a: m mi COLONISTS WILL SOON STATE CASES AGAINST ELOPERS ARE DISMISSED START OUT FOR WES?

Mexico City, Sept. 29 Porflrio Diaz, now tn P'rance, has been asked to return to his native land for active military duty. The summons was In the form of a cablegram pent by the war depart ment, presumably by orders of Pro vlslonel President Huerta, formerly one of the most loyal supporters of the ex iled president. In reply to the Invitation General Dlas asked the minister of war to await the arrival of the letter which he was about to mall. It Is recalled that the last words of Diaz as he stood on the deck of the Yplranpa at Vera Cruz after his flight from Mexico City, were that he would come back to Mexico only if his country should require his services,- or In the event of foreign Invasion. Frederlco Gamboa's campaign fr the presidency has been opened In earnest. Leaders of the Catholic party in all quarters of the republic have been urged to put forth their best efforts In support of the Gamboa campaign and General Rascon.
