Baton Rouge, Nov. 27. The Louisana public service commission Saturday won in the proceedings brought against it by the receivers of the Texas Pacific railway seeking to secure a temporary injunction preventing the public service commission from enforcing its order estab lishing reduced rates on sand and gravel when to be used for the build-in of roads and streets, and when consigned to state, parish or municipal officials.

The decision was handed down by Federal Judges Bryan, Jack and Holmes. The public service commission order has been in effect for some months, and the road building program of the state had been laid out on the basis of lower rates, and numerous bond issues have been voted. An increase at the pres. ent time would have disorganized the road building program of the state and would have caused the loss of thousands of dollars to the taxpayers. 19 Alleged Members of Red Party Arraigned (ttr fnlveraal Service.)

SHACB (Universal Service Staff Corrmpendent.) New York, Nov. 27. Miss Nancy Jordan won her fight today against the immigration laws which automatically bar unmarried mothers from this country. She will soon enter the United States with her" three-year-old Bon to work for his future, away from the shadow of her Assistant Secretary of Labor White in Washington signed an order permitting her to enter under bond.

The bond will be signed by Frank G. Warren, attorney of Kansas City, and his wife who recently divorced him. The English girl's victory over deportation will take to Kansas City one of the strangest triangles growing out of the World war. She will live with Mrs. Warren who wants to adopt the baby, In spite of the rumors which connect her name with that of Warren, whom she met in England during the war.

Mrs. Warren Invites Girl. Miss Jordan came to America at Warren's invitation after the latter had learned from her divorced husband of the girl's plight. When she was detained at Ellis Island Mrs. Warren left Kansas City to plead with the officials for the girl'i jd-mission.

Warren and his former wife are still good friends. He is her personal attorney. There was no scandal connected with the divorce. She charged him with having a temper. Both will do what they can to aid the girl.

Throughout the three years that Miss Jordan has been a mother she has done one of the strangest things that women sometimes do. She has protected the child's father. She refuses to reveal his identity. "I did not know until just before I sailed that the Warrens had fceen divorced," she said today. Not Responsible for Divorce.

"I want to mak it clear I was in no way responsible for that divorce and in no way involved in it. "I met Mr. Warren when he was in England with the American forces. I came to know him well and I owe it to him to say that I have never met a more honorable man in my life. I have not burdened him with the slightest suspicion of being responsible for my plight.

I would not have it hinted that I have any claim to impel him through sense of obligation to offer his home to the child. "Both he and his wife are actuated by benevolence and sympathy alone. That woman I have never seen, but we have corresponded, and she has sent for nie to come to her and bring the child with me." Warren will neither deny nor affirm that he is the father of the innocent storm center of the struggle with immigration laws. In an interview in Kansas City today he said: Warren Is Noncommittal. "I am neither going to affirm nor deny the paternity of the child.

"Miss Jordan says I am not the father. If I were to say the child is mine I would be challenging the truth of her statement. If I were to issue a denial I would be answering a charge that has not heen made. "Personally, I do not care what the people think. I am glad to see Miss Jordan and her child admitted to -the united States.

I want them to come here where they may havo a home with Mrs. Warren. "I cannot understand why the government should have considered bar ring her entry to the country.

Shipping Bill Emerges from Debate Plastered With Many Amendments inr Aaaociated Tress.) Washington, Nov. 27. -Thirty-seven shots in the shape of amendments were fired at the administration bill in the house today, six shots being more or less vital. At adjournment tonight the bill had covered exactly one-third of its tempestuous voyage toward the senate. Representative Graham, of Illinois, a Republican, went home with three of the half dozen amendments in his shooting bag, all of which were put through with the aid Repub- lican votes.

Ear the fieht Representative Edmonds, of Pennsylvania, ranking Republican of the merchant marine committee, which framed the bill, for- mallv announced on tho floor that the section under which the Standard Oil company, for example, would share in the government subsidy for transporting its own goods in ita own ships, would- be stricken out bodily. This, in the view of Western Repub licans, added to its chance of passage. Graham Proposal Vital. Rated as the most important amendment to stand up. was the Graham proposal which cut from the bill the provision under which shippers, sending their goods abroad in American vessels would receive a 5 per cent income tax rebate which, in some instance, it was charged in the house, would have enabled some shippers to escape all payments.

It was adopted by a vote of 56 to 47. Stepping in unexpectedly, Representative Oliver, Alabama, presented an amendment, which virtually fixed a minimum price for the sale of the steamship Leviathan, the biggest of the government fleet. This provided that the Leviathan, now being reconditioned, should not be sold at a price less than the cost of reconditioning. Precise figures, obtained tonight from the appropriations committee, showed that this cost was $8,166,000. First declared defeated, the Oliver proposal won, 81 to 72, by a man to man count.

Attack Quickly Launched. A fight to riddle the bill was begun five minutes after the actual reading started. On his feet first Mr. Graham put an amendment to strike out a section permitting the shipping board to sell ships without advertisement or competitive sale. Declaring that the worst scandal in the government reached into the sale of vast surplus stocks by "negotiated sale," Mr.

Graham called upon Republicans to take the section and throw it out A dozen members were eager to discuss it but a vote was demanded and the motion was adopted almost unanimously. The other Graham amendment Increased the rate ot interest on unpaid balances for ships bought from the government from not lesa than 4 per cent to not less than i per cent Representative Frcar sought to make it 6 per cent flat, but failed. An amendment by Representative Blanton that no government employe should be interested financially in the purchase of government ships was passed with little opposition. Out of the many amendments offered, Representative Davis, Tennessee, Democratic member of the merchant marine committee, got through one providing that prospective ship constructors, borrowing from the shipping revolving fund should nav not less than 4' per cent interest. insveaa oi per cent as stipulated in the bill.

Meeting an hour ahead of tinm to morrow, the house will plunge into ve Bei-uun mating 10 direct government aid to ships. The bill will come up for a vote on final nassaire Wed nesday afternoon, after which the nouse will recess over Thansgiving. On Trial for Murder, Tries to Cut Throat Hlllsboro, Texas.
