Twenty five western railroads, including Missouri Pacific and Chicago and Northwestern, were temporarily barred by Judge David P. Dyer from raising interstate freight rates.

The suit, heard in St. Louis, names firms across Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas, Wisconsin, Montana, Michigan and beyond as the sole freight and passenger links for extensive western states.

Cruce Addresses Large Oklahoma Campaign Crowd
Lee Cruce of Ardmore spoke in Vinita last night on the Oklahoma gubernatorial race. The large countywide audience included Republicans, with Cruce outlining his positions on the grandfather clause, bank guaranty law, Torrens land system, and prohibition and suffrage issues. He endorsed capital removal to Villa, but avoided a clear stance on article nine amendment and woman's suffrage, pledging to enforce statewide prohibition until changed. Cruce left for Muskogee, hoping to return before the August primary, and predicted a Democratic victory in November.
