WASHINGTON, May 24.—Reduction in freight rates averaging
about ten per cent were ordered today by the Interstate Commerce
Commission in a decision resulting from its inquiry into the general
rate structure of the nation.
The commission in ordering the decreases—which are on a hori-
zontal basis—held that the nations' railroads are entitled to earn 5%
per cent on the value of their property rather than the approximate !
six per cent fixed as a reasonable return under the transportation act .

MANILA, May 23.—Leonard Wood,'
&oyernor-general of the Philippines is
safe after being missing for 36 hours
in the yacht Apo, following a typhoon,
according to word received here early
today. The yacht was reported to
have taken refuge on an island near
Mindoro where the governor, accom-
panied by his wife and daughter, had
gone Saturday on an inspection trip.
Since the typhoon keen anxiety has
been felt for the safety of General
Wood and his family. The Apo is a
sman yacht and vessels generally in
the vicinity of the island of Mindoro
were driven helplessly before the
storm. For two days efforts to reach
the Apo were unavailing.

DALLAS, Texas, May 24.—David E.
Soderman, charged with the murder of
Jay Clay Powers here April 18, had
the appearance and actions of an in-
sane person after assaulting his wife
when sne confessed alleged intimacy
with Powers, in tn© opinion of four de-
fense witresses, testifying under di-
reel examinatton in Judge C. A. Pip-
pens criminal district court this morn-
ing.
The witnesses, Victor C. Moore, city
attorney of El Paso, Texas, Charles
Wood and James Brewster, police of-
floers of El Paso, and R. B. Redie,
lawyer of El Paso, under cross-exami-
nation, admitted it possible for a man
to act abnormally after assault nls
wife, conceded that Soderman had
drank heavily, and that he had had
business differences with Powers
and C. N. Hilton in tn© Terminal Ho-
tel, Fort Worth, transanon,
Tom York, police sergeant of El
Faso, and Jack Keevill, city jailer of
El Paso, two more def cnee witnesses
called to the stand, were promptly dis-
missed by the defense and excused
from cross-examination by the prose-
cution when the court sustained ob-
jections of the State to the question
expounded. The question sought the
opinion of the witnesses as to Soder-
man's sanity when in El Paso.
Will Beni, Dallas ity detective, who
was a Stte witness, was called by
the detense and declared Soderman
said immediately following the shoot-
g, "I killed him because he ruined
my home.” Under cross-examination,
Beal .who said he arrested Soderman,
testified the accused on his way to
the city hall right after the shooting
refused to make a statement, was cool,
calm and collected and said several
times, •Call Scott and McLean, attor-
neys at Fort Worth; they know all
al out it."
“My opinion is that Soderman was
insane when he came to my office in
El Paso and told the story his wife ;
confessed to him of her being seduced
by Powers, and my opinion is that <
Soderman is insane at this very mo- <
ment,” Mr. Moore the first witness i
called for th© defense, declared. <
The El Paso city attorney, under
cross-examination of Jed Adams, ad-
mitted, however, that he was not an I
expert in insanity.
The witness declared Soderman came
into his office after being released from
jail in El Paso for striking his wife.
"Soderman was totally unbalanced.
He said his wife confessed her inti-
macy with Powers and that he went
right out of his head.
