Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Files Annual Report.
The Necessity For Additional
Legislation is Growing.
NO ATTEMPT is MADE.
By Railroad Managers to Con-
form to the Statutes, It Says
Discrimination in Its Worst
Form Constantly Practieed.

Washington. jan 4.-The fourteenth
annual report Of the interstate COM
merce commission was sent to congress
today
Attention Is called by the commission
to the necessity for further legislation
amending the act TO regulate commerce,
the reasons for urging these amend
rnents having been carefully explained
in previous reports Knowledge of pres
emit conditions and tendencies they say
increases rather than lessons the neces-
sity for legislative action upon the lines
already indicated ana in such other d.
rections as viii furnish an adequate and
workable statute for the regulation Of
commerce among the several states.
ut is evident" the report says, that
railroad managers generally have made
mo attempt to conform their practices 70

within its letter and succeed in aVoidlns
its penalties. but they claim that they
are virtually compelled to counteract is
aim and evade its Observance InUs II
happens that some of the most import
ant and useful incidents of railway serV-
ice are maintained by methods which
are believed to be inharmonious with If

charges and the like, concerning which

following yesterday:
Quincy ILL.,, Jan 2.-Carrie Davis, who
was arrested in Chicago for alleged
completely in the big silk robbery here
last month, was given a preliminary
hearing here today and bound over to
the criminal court in the sum of IS, 600,

down from Chicago.
Oscar Parson. of Mexico, Mo-, and
Vinton Strong of Hannibal, Mo, were
here today and identiheda large amount
of the silk found with the prisoners,
when arrested, as the property stolen
from their stores early in December. 1t
is estimated that the gang now in Jail
here stole $4,000 worth of silks in the
central west during the past six months
1t is thought by the local authorities
that this is the same gang who operated
in this vicinity and that the Mills silk
robbers have at last been found.
The local police officers have sent for
photographs of the men who were ar
rested and are now on trial IN Quincy,

Major James J. Peterson, who
has been serving his country i'm the
Philippine Islands since July, 1899,
in the capacity of official interpreter
and translator for the supreme court
of those islands, was, on the 2Ist
day OF June last, appointed by the
U. s. Philippine Commission IS
sheriff of the judicial district of
Manila. This judicial district en-
braces the entire city Of Manila,
with n population of some three
hundred thousand and the sheriffalty
includes the service upon the su-
preme court of the islands, two in
ferior courts and some seven or eight
justices of the peace.
The bond attached to the Office is
for the sum of $25, 900, and the
position is one Of the most important
and responsible in the Philippines.
Mr.. Peterson's efficiency, zeal,
and industry is thus highly recog-
nized by the insular government,
and he enjoys the distinction of
being the first sheriff appointed in
the islands.
The courts are being rapidly or.
ganized-in fact by this time they
are all organized and American
methods and procedure are in force
in the entire archipelago.
Major Peterson's friends, both
here and in other parts of the State
will be glad to hear of his deserved
promotion. He is a fine Spanish
scholar; his service TOR the govern
meut at Honduras as the United
States minister under President
Harrison gave him an opportunity
to obtain a clear training in the
Spanish language, and since his
service In the Philippines as the off.
cial interpreter this knowledge has
of course gradually increased. His
friends here will be glad to know
also that the salary which goes with
this new Office is commensurate with
its Importance, and that with its in.
creased duties comes increased honor
and prominence.
Major Peterson's many friends in
the States send congratulations.
