As to the wisdom of this legislation
the commission is not agreed. A major
ity of the commission think that pool
ing would improve the rate situation, and
the present condition is 80 disastrous
that they would he inclined to indOrse
in good faith any way out of IT. but If
pooling produces any beneficial results II
necessarily does so at the expense of
competition by legalizing pooling the
public loses the only protection II now
has against the unreasonable exactions
OF transportation agencies. Still, i'm view
of the whole situation, n majority of the
commission would be inclined to recon-
mend that the eXpedient be tried IL suit
able safeguards are provided i'm advance
but this recommendation must be taken
only with the limitation stated. The
members of the Interstate commerce
commission wish to say In the strongest
possible terms that they are unanimous
I'm the opinion that to Overturn the Trans
Missouri decision, to repeal the fifth sec
tion OF tie interstate-commeTce act and
enact In its place pooling bill, thereby
permitting and inviting unlimited com
biuation between carriers, would be lit
tic better than "A crime against the pco.
ple of the United States unless this
tribunal, or some other tribunal, is at
the same time invested with adequate
lowers Of control, and that nothing less
"a degree than those outlined I'm this re-
port or their equivalent would be ade-
guote.
But tho commission also points out
that congress Is not powerless to remedy
the existing evil OF rate cutting without
grading pooling, and that one way would
be TO establish supervision and inspec-
tion OF accounts, including, when neces-
hary, the taking charge OF one or more
stations. That Is no more rigorous than
the system under which national banks
exist. This IL not now recommended.

GIVEN NEW TRIAL
MRS. ROSEBERRY CHANGES HER
MIND,
she Believes She Would Rather Take That
Her Examination, at HOme-She Did
Not Want to Part With Her Children
and Hence Asked for Reheariug Of the
Csse With the Intention of Resistin: the
Efforts to Send Her to the AsyIum-New
Trial Monday.

Yesterday afternoon Adams & Adams
appeared before the probate court and
applied for rehearing in the case OF
Mrs. Geo. Roseberry Of Bayneville, who
was adjudged insane there the previous
day. Judge Haymaker granted the ap-
plication and Mrs. Roseberry was imme-
dlately released from the custody of the
sheriff and took up lodging az he City
hotel with her children
The case will be tried again Monday
and will be fought to a finish on the
part Of Mrs. Roseberry. When she was
examined Wednesday no effort was
made at defense, and while there was
not evidence enough before the jury 10
find her insane, yet they signed verdict
to that effect with the understanding
that she did not object TO going 10 the
asylum. Her husband has been telling
her during the last nine years, according
10 her own statement, that she was in
sane and she finally concluded that she
may be insane and would not object GO
ing to an asylum. She has, however, a
strong natural love for her children, and
on Wednesday night when she began to
realize that they were about TO be sep
arated from her she could not bear the
thought, and then and there determined
to fight the case. Nobody competent 10
diagnose her case has yet said that she
is insane, while only few have gone so
far as 10 say that she Is suffering from
nervous troubles which little rest and
some medical trea tment would soon cure.
While in the county jail she reasoned
that il rest and a little attention was
all she needed she could well afford 10
get them here at home without having TO
be separated from her children Indeed,
she even thought that absence from her
children, where she could not see them,
would not be conducive Of curing ner-
vous troubles and this conclusion or
thought or idea on her part was by no
means an irrational one On the other
hand, it proves that the woman has
trying TO take her away from her child
rem. in whom all her thoughts are CEN
tered, to place her in an asylum.
When the case comes up again it will
be inquired into more carefully. Mrs.
Roseberry will probably charge her hus-
band with I'll treatment, personal abuse
and in some Instances absolute assault
and physical chastisement. Some fam
lily secrets will be aired and IL there is
no disappointment the case will be red |
hot one and the woman will win.

MAY MOVE FAIR GROUNDS
Proposition Submitted 10 New Company
Worth Considering

A proposition has been suggested to
the new State Fair association which is
worth considering and which, no doubt,
viii be considered and that carefully.
The same mortgage company, it ap-
pears. own the present fair ground and
the Old Riverside Driving park. The
proposition suggested is that the COM
pany could very profitably have the i'm
provements at the present fair grounds
moved TO Riverside and regretted there.
If this is done il is thought by good
business minds that a fair in this city
can then be made a perpetual success.
The half-mile track at Riverside is said
10 be a good one and easily put in order.
1t would make better racing in this that
The patrons would be better pleased with
il for the reason that the horses would
then be continuously within easy sight
Of them. The grand stand could also be
located more sensIbly than it is In the
present fair grounds with nothing 10 pre-
vent the hot afternoon sun from roast
ing the people. Another great advant-
age in having the State Fair and races
at Riverside is the fact that il is within
easy reach of its patrons who. if the
street car service should happen at any
time to be inadequate could easily walk
TO the fair.
Those VINO are most enthusiastically
in favor of the change have hundred
points of argument TO offer in its sup
port They say that the cost of NOV
ing the grand stand. fences, stables,
stalls and other buildings from the pres
ent fair grounds to Riveside would not
be very great at this time when there is
an abundance Of cheap idle labor TO be
gotten easily. The proposition is worth
talking about

when this territory is developed i, will

This is my first trip through this particu-
lar region and l am impressed with sug-
gestions of its possibilities. The people
made a mistake ir attempting TO make
purely farming district out OF the ex-
the west OF Oklahoma.
That country is properly a cattle
country. and il will not be country of
big ranches. There will be ranges OF
from 200 20 1000 acres, generally in aver
age about 300 or 400 acres. and a family
or two to each. They will keep herds of
cattle-miik cows on all the smaller

farms OF stock and beef cattle and dairy
farming. Il will be an easy matter 10
raise wheat and corn enough for family
needs and kaffir corn and alfalfa for the
cattle ard hogs. Cattle can run on the
range from April TO the middle OF Deem
Der and be roughed through on kaffir

is not entirely a matter OF personal ex-
perience and observation With me-

London Is threatened with a new de-
yelopment of the penny-1n-the-slot ma
chine. Around Battersea Park, hith-
erto neglected spot across the Thames
from Chelsea, there are rapidly spring
ing into existence a great number of
new streets, with small but attractive
houses, suited to the requirements Of
people in moderate circumstances. In
addition to electric bells, bath rooms
and stationary washstands, the latest
modern convenience is a slot in the
neighboring lamp post. You drop in
penny and out comes q gallon Of boil
ing water. 1t is said that Illuminating
gas is soon to be conducted into some
of the cheaper houses, to be paid for in
the same way. The possibilities in this
line, when fully developed, are almost
unlimited. With a few more COM
partments to the lamp post, tired shop
pers might be provided with hot tea
or coffee in winter and ice creams in
summer. Other lamp posts might be
adapted for supplying compressed all
