The Elkins anti-rebate bill is at
tracing attention from shippers and
common carriers, and the interstate
commerce commission, the branch Of
the government having direct juris-
dictIon of the government having
direct jurisdiction of this act and its
enforcement, is daily besieged with
requests for information concerning
the purpot and possible effect Of the
act. The majority of these inquiries
come from the shippers and common
carriers in the West and North west.
When the Elkins bill was passed it
wa the subject of considerable scott
ing by skeptical persons, who declar-
ed that the only thing was to relieve
the railroad officials from the penalty
Of Imprisonment for violation of ex-
isting law. 1t is developing that the
Elkins bill was loaded.
The Flkins act was designed to
correct the evils and abuses growing
out of the system granting rebates

valuable sources of the trusts is the
advantage obtained from railways in
rebates from the transportation of its
products.
The most powerful weapon possess
ed by the trust to crush competition
a this same advantage in transport
tation rates. The interstate com
merce law and its amendments we're
aimed at the rebate system, but were
not effectual. The Elkins bill was
drawn to perfect the law and cut off
rebates.
Al exceedingly broap interpora-
ton IS placed upon the intent of the
law prohibiting rebates where the
language is not specific. For ex-
ample, it is held that the granting Of
a free pass to q shipper, q. practice
which is widespread is a rebate, a vi
olation of law, and that the gIver of
the pass and the shipper who accepts
it are liable to fine. Furthermore,
that the free carriage Of goods, favors
in storage, ii granted to n shipper
not to all, Constitutes rebates and
violation Of law. In fact, the inter-
state commerce commission has issued
an order to transportation companies
to publish thei schedules hereafter
wether carriage is allowed or not.

create sensation, Is apparent - every
one who has or may read The Dowager
Countess and the American Girl
The Dowager in this instance Is the
English Countess of Mathew. The amer
lean girl is the wife of the Dowager's
son, Archibald, the wife whom he has
married in Cairo. and whom he brings
as a bride to the ancestral home OF the
Mayhew's, Mintern Court. In England.
There the thread Of the story which
in some sort is a continuation of Sir
John and the American Girl. previous
effort of Miss Bells, is picked up.
The Dowager is by no means nice. In
fact-to use an Englishism-she Is dis
tinctly nasty. Her pretty persecution OF
everybody within her reach and espe-
cially of the American Girl whom she
despises as a daughter-n-law make the
groundwork of the book. Matters work
around happily after while and the
reader bids the american Girl goodbye
in the land of her adoption, with re-
lieved mind, but there is hand to hand
Anglo-American struggle first.
So much for actual narration that has
served as a very convenient vehicle for
conveying the more serious message which
is the burden of Miss Bells mind in in
diting her last novel That burden is a
most direct, vigorous and plainly worded
attack upon English social and domestic
life and morals. To be hackneyed, Miss
Eel has felt no fear in rolling off her
bl.rden a calling "a spade a spade In
carrying out her intentions she has not
