Interstate Commerce Commission
Holds that Certain Differ
entails Are Improper.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 2.-The inter
state commerce commission, by a decision
today in the matter Of the passenger rate
disturbances of the Canadian Pacific raid
road, involving the propriety of differen-
tial passenger rates between Eastern
points and the Pacific coast, held that the
Canadian Pacific is not entitled to the
differential cOntepded for.
The case is one of the most important
that has been before the commission for a
long time the American railroad lines
and the Canadian Pacific having been
engaged six months or more in a war in
passenger tariff between the East and the
West.
The decision says: 'The commission
holds that the claim made in behalf OF
the American roads that no Canadian
road is entitled to differential under any
is probably untenable, even from the
standpoint of the American roads. as
some Canadian roads, notably the Grand
Trunk, work in close connection with
American lines and the public interest in
the reduced rates caused by competition
is not to be ignored"
The commission, however, states that ii
has no power to allow or disallow the
differential in dispute, but would consider
it extremely fortunate if the conclusions
reached should be made the basis of an
early adjustment. The commission, IN
conclusion, says:
1T must be distinctly understood that
we do not recommend the settlement OF
this controversy by the making of any
agreement, involving arbitration or other,
wise. which is in violation of the anti,
trust law. as interpreted by the United
States Supreme court. Such features OF
the past or future history of this contro-
versy as may, liz our Judgment, render ap-
prOpriate any statement or recommends
ton to Congress, will be presented in our
annual report to that body. So far as ouI
official action can affect the matter. we
conclude that we ought not at present to
rescind the suspension orders heretofore
made, but if the difficulty should be adj
iusted in accordance with the views
above expressed, it may become our duty
to revoke the permission granted by those
orders

AMERICAN GAME PICTURES.
For Decoration of Homes.


Probably at no time in the worlds his
tory has as much attention been paid TO
the interior decoration Of homes as at
present. No home, no matter how hum
bic, is without it's handiwork that helps
to beautify the apartments and make the
surroundings more cheerful. The taste
of the American people has kept pace
with the age, and almost every day brings
forth something new in the way Of pic
ture, draping, piece OF furniture or
other form OF mural decoration. One Of
the latest Of these has been given to the
world by the celebrated artist, Muville,
in series of four handsome porcelain
game plaques. Not for years has any
thing as handsome in this line been seen.
The subjects represented by these plaques
are American wild ducks, American
pheasants, American quail and English
snipe. They are handsome paintings and
are especially designed for hanging on din
ing room walls, though their richness and
beauty entities them to a place in the
parlor Of any home. These original
plaques have been purchased a a cost Of
$4,000 by J. G. Hubinger Bros. Co., man
ufacturers Of the celebrated Elastic
Starch, and in order to enable their num-
erous customers to become possessors Of
these handsome works Of art they have
had them reproduced by special process,
in all the rich colors and beauty of the
original. They are finished on heavy
| cardboard, pressed and embossed in the
shape Of plaque and trimmed with a
heavy band Of gold. They measure forty
inches IN circumference and contain no
! reading matter or advertisement what
ever.
Until Oct. i Messrs. J. G.. Hubinger
Bros. Co. propose to distribute these
plaques free to their customers. Every
purchaser Of three ten-cent packages Of
Elastic Starch, fatiron brand, manufac-
tured by J. G. Hubinger Bros Co., is en-
titled to receive one Of these handsome
plaques free from their grocer. Old and
new customers alike are entitled to the
benefits of this offer. These plaques will
not be sent through the mail, the only
way to obtain them being from your gro
Ger. Every grocery store in the country
has Elastic Starch for sale. 1t is the old
est and best laundry starch on the market
and is the most perfect cold process starch
ever invented. 1t is the only starch made
by men who thoroughly understand the
laundry business, and the only starch that
will not injure the finest fabric. 1t has
been the standard for a quarter of a cen
tury and as an evidence of how good it is
twenty-five million packages were sold
last year. Ask your dealer to show you
the plaques and tell you about Elastic
Starch. Accept no substitute. Bear in
mind that this offer holds good short
time only and should be taken advantage

HOSPITAL Is CROWDED.
Hundreds of Soldiers Lie on Mat

Camp MOntauk.

Camp Wikoff, Montauk Point, L. t.
Sept. 5.-The transport Roumania, which
arrived yesterday morning with GOO
troops from Santiago, was the means of
an additional test of the capacity OF the
hospital in the detention camp.
OF the 600 men on the Roumania about
200 were SO sick that they had to be put
Ill the hospital. The authorities of the
detention hospital, although they knew
OF the transports arrival. had received DC
notice as to the number of sick men they
would be expected to care for.
About o'clock the ambulaEceS with
the sick began to arrive at the hospital
The detention hospitul Will accommodate
400 men, with eight cots to Il tent, which
Is the normal capacity. By putting ten
cots in each tent, 800 patients can be
taken care of, but with corresponding de-
crease of comfort.
At the time of the arrival of the sick
men from the ROumania the hospital al
ready had nearly 800 patients, and these
ZOO additional ones SWelled the number tC
about 800. 240 more than the hOspita
comfortably can hold. Although there
were enough cots for the 800 sick soldiers
there was not the space under canvas Il
place them. Therefore, as Il mattress OF
the floor takes up less space than a cot
a number of patients were taken from cots
ana placed upon mattresses on the floor
and the cots removed. Mattresses We're
also placed between cots on the floor.
Consequently this morning about 2JC
mTn are lying on mattresses on the floor
because of the lack of tent space. The
detention hospital needs about fifty more
tents. 1t does not look as though the con
structiOn department can put up more thar
ten or fifteen tents today, consequently il
is probable that some men will have tC

Gresham Won't Return.

Washington, d. c., Sept. 5.-The sec
rotary of the treasury has definitely de-
cided that the Gresham and other cut
tiers transferred from the lakes to tide
water at the beginning Of the war will
be permanently retained on the seacoast.
Treasury officials say that after full con-
sderation it was concluded that the ex-
pense attached to cutting the vessels in
half and sending them on another long
journey through the canals would be suf-
ficient to construct one new cutter. 1t
is also claimed that the operation of cut
ting the vessels will impair their strength.
The department is in hopes that Congress
will next winter provide new cutters for
