Report of the Interstate Commission

WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. 5-The annual re-
port Of the interstate commerce commission
states that there has been a marked improve
ment during the year In the disposition OF car
rlers toward compliance with the law, but as
regards the duty of establishing and publishing
rates and charges little progress has been made
Public grievances arising from the failure of
carriers 10 comply with the law in these par
ticulars are pointed out Upon the question of
connecting lines," tho most important subject
treated, Is that of through routes aud rates
The question Of legislative power to
compel connecting carriers to grant
through facilities IS discussed at length,
and while the difficulties are acknowl-
edged aud explained, they are shown not 10 be
insuperable. Attention is directed 10 the dis
similarity of the terms on various bills OF ladng
in common use, and the conhic. of judicial
opinion a. respects the rights and duties of
shippers aud carriers thereunder. The proposed
uniform bill Of lsding aud the objections az the
shipping interests thereto are discussed. and
some Of It's features, especially the provision
tina. property taken at carriers risk shall
be rated as one class higher than
II taken az owners risk, are dis
approved. The commission recommends a
mode of proceeding before the commission and
IN the courts TO enforce the commissions order;
action TO compel carriers To adopt uniform
classification, and that the tenth section OF the
act be 80 amended that corporations rs well as
their employees and agents shall he indictabe.

Fog Near Hannibal, Mo.

sYRIreYrELD, Ill, Jan. Sat an early hour
this morning two Wabash passenger trains COL
lided at Allsdin station, three miles east ~ Han
nibal, No. The trains meet at the AIladin side
track. The engineer, James r. Wilson, on the
westbound train, running on the main track
did not see the switch in the fog, which was
very dense, and on which switch he should
have waited for the eastbound train
When he discovered his mistake he started to
back mp to the switch. but too late. The east
bound train came up at high rate OF speed and
dashed into the wsst-bound train. Both en-
gines were tslescoped and all the cars burned
except two sleepers and one chair car.
The killed are: Engineer James r. Wilson,
springfield; Engineer A Bouchard, Springfield;
three Italian immigrants, names unknown,
burned to death; Fireman Warboss, Springfield.
Fireman David Cornell, OF Springfield was
fatally, and William Kennedy, q colored porter,
OF Decatur. was severely injured. Several pas
sengers were badly cut and bruised. The in
jured were brought to this city to the Wabash
hospital. Express Messengers Durham and
Clough were injured

THE sNoHoMIsH PosToFFICE.


WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. Especial. There
is trouble over the snohomish postofice. Mayor
Ferguson has sent tAe following telegram 70 the
postmaster general:
Coe has left the postofice. If the bondsmen
responsible for postofiee funds, we will close
up the concern. We have 10 responsible per on
who will take il for the pay allowed by the gov
eminent
The postmaster general sent for Representa-
tive Wilson TO take some action in the matter,
and the latter is endeavoring to find some one
to take the office. II pays about $500 year.
He suggested that the matter should be turned
over TO Senator Squire, the Office was close to
the senator's home county. He asked the post
master general to put an inspector in charge
until action could be taken.
SNoHoAIsH, Jan. Especial IF. N. Coe, who
was recently appointed postmaster upon the
recommendations of Senators Allen and Squire
and Hon. J. II. McGraw, has refused TO qualify,
owing TO the arduous duties of the position and
the inadequacy OF the amount allowed for clerk
hire. (. N. Allen and A J. AeBeth are thu
candidates for the place, but in all probability
E. N. Allen will secure the appointment.

The North Pacific Insurance Failure,

TACOMA, Jan. Especial l-Insurance Com
missioner Weir has written letter replying TO
the interview with President 6. T. Armstrong,
of the insolvent North Pacific Insurance Com
pany, recently published In the Neies, in which
the latter expressed s desire to know why the
former. as insurance commissioner. had not
made as rigid an examination OF the company's
affairs two years ago as he did a couple of
months ago. Mr.. Weir says there was no in
surance law or insurance commissioner
in She state two years ago; that accord
ing 10 the eompany's books ii ran behind $4,000
during 1921, and that Mr. Armstrong would
have done well to have familiarized himself
with the business of the company before at
tempting TO reflect upon somebody else.
The latter statement is made In reply TO Mr..
Armstrong; assertion that the North Pacific
never was IN batter condition than when q
recei5er was applied for by the insurance COM
missioner. Mr.. Weir calls attention to the fact
that the Tacoma banks placed the valuation of
the company's securities $4,000 below ths,
plsced on them by him, rs an evidence of
leniency toward the company.

PoRTLAND's WANING TRADE.
Cannot Compete with Sound Lumber
Without DISCRIMINATION In Rates.

PORTLAND, Jan. Especial. Portland has
not sent more than 10 car loads OF lumber dur
Tag the past year 20 points between Walla WaIls
On the south and Spokane on the north, includ-
ing the Paiouse country, while Puget sound has
sen: 40 car loads This is q startling difference,
and the reasons given By the Portland lumber
men for their inability TO compete is still more
startling. One OF The large lumbsrmea, IN
speaking Of the matter, gave the following as
his reasons why Portland vas not in this Idaho
Eastern Washington trade:
Portland cannot compete with the Sound. We
cannot manufacture lumber at the same cost
The price o! logs Is higher, probably gys.agi ng
VI per l,0e) feet higher delivered 81 the mills.
This, Of course follows from the fact that hen
ever district Ia more tbickly sette1 the further
back We have to 20 for timber, watch adds %
the price. Besides, timber standing is worth
more than on the sound for the reason that IL IS
less plentiful.
Would Portlanas Iumbermen lose the Salt
Lake trade should the railroads agree on equal
rates from Portland and Sound points? was
asked.
Most sssuredly they would. II the Northern
Pacific can fix arrangement By which the Union
Pacific can carry lumber from the Sound 70 this

Another silver Resolution by Stewart.

WARRINGTON CITY. JAN Ex-senator Stewart,
of Nevada, added another feature TO the silver
question today By introducing a resolution
founded on the proposition that holders OF
silver bullion are enti led under an existing
law never repealed, as far as the senator can
ascertain, 10 free coinage OF silver. The reso-
luton directs the committee on judiciary TO
inquire il any further legislation is necessary TO
make IL the duty OF the proper officers of the
mint TO receive and coin silver bullion for the
benefit OF dspositors. senator Stewart said:
IL was provided in the act of 1857 that gold
and silver bullion brought to the mint for coin
age shall be received and coined By the proper
officers for the benefit OF the deposition. There
Is no other mode or manner provided for COIN
age in that act. The Bland act OF 1878 revives
the law OF 1887. The omission TO enforce this
provision is unseeountaole 1t appears to have
