night at the armory to take suitable action
on the death of their late president, Col.

sad circumstances under which the call
had been made. He paid a tribute to the
memory of Col. Moore, who, he said, lad
been prominently connected with the
corps for many years. and whose last re-
quest, almost. was that he should be
Luried under an escort from the organ!-
cation.
Lieutenant A. A. Birney was appointed
chairman of a committee to draft suitable
resolutions and a committee on floral
tribute was also appointed. 1t was de-
cided that as far possible the corps
shall march at the funeral in their white
uniforms, those not being fully equipped
with this style of dress to form separate
companies uniformed in regular army
style. The National Guard Brigade Band
under the direction of Mr.. Donald Mcleod
will march with the funeral procession.
AT the grave a salute of three rounds
will be fired over the last resting place of
the dead soldier, and taps will be sounded
by the buglers.
A general invitation will be extended to
all ex-members and veterans of the corps
to join in this last homage to their dead
leader. There will be another meeting of
the corps tonight, when the resolutions to
be drafted will be adopted and the final
arrangements for the military escort made.

RAILWAY RATE WAR,
Appeal to Interstate Commerce Com
mission for intervention.

@APpeai 10 interstate Commerce COM
mission for Intervention.
A rate war has been in progress for sew
erai months past, as heretofore stated in
Inc star, between the Canadian Pacific
hallway Company on the one side and tie
American trunk lines OH the other. and
yesterday an effort was made by a commit
tee OF representative railroad men to get
the interstate commerce commission to in
terfere in the matter. The delegation was
composed of D. b. Caldwell, chairman of
the Western Passenger Association; p S.
Eustfs, general passenger agent Chicago.
Burlington and Quincy railway; ]. Sebas-
tian, general passenger agent Chicago.
Rock Island and Pacific railway. and
Georse II. HeaTord, general passenger
agent. Chlcago, Milwaukee and ST. Paul
railway.
The contest began over the cutting of
emlgrant rates by the Canadian Pacific.
ana finally extended to all lines of traffic.
II is stated that the war has reached a
ruinous stage for all parties concerned
and while it embraces rates from The At
lantlc to the Pacific coasts the lines west
OF Chicago are most largely affected
Inc representatives of the American lines
did not file any petition or complainr, but
explained to the commission the situation
The commission, it was stated has no
authority in the matter except to order an
investigation of the competition which ha
reached grave proportions, or perhaps be-
come mediator between the rival COM
panfeS for a settlement. The Canadian
Paclhc Company, by its general passenger
traffic manager, D. McNichol and Attorney
A. c. Raymond, also conferred with The
commission later, and gave their view of
the rate war There were also conferences
between Mr. Caldwell and Mr. McNichol.
but so far nothing like an understanding
has been reached.

Royal is pure cream OF tar
tar baking powder; healthful, of
highest leavening power. Its
use is recommended by physi-
clans and health officials as a
safeguard against alum and
other deleterious substances
found in the low grade powders.
Congress has passed laws for
the prevention of adulteration of
food in the District of Column
bia, under which alum is de-
clared to be substance known
to produce a poisonous effect,
whose presence in food is harm
full, and the manufacture and
sale of bread containing it is
made q misdemeanor.
Do the people who are selling
or using alum baking powders
appreciate the fact that they are
violating the criminal laws as
we'll as the laws of health?
