MRS. CROGAN WANTS
PARTNERSHIP CLOSED

Must Consider Distance.

To hold that. after substantial dis
similarity Of circumstances and condi-
lions has been shown. the longer-dis-
lance rate cannot IN any case or TO any
extent be considered by way of compari-
son IN determining whether or not the
shorter-distance rate is unreasonable or
unduly prejudicial. particularly when, az
in this case, competition and other COM
Dulsory conditions are found not to JUS
Uify the whole disparity between thu
shorter and longer distance rates, would
be 20 reject a most appropriate and nee
essary test of the reasonableness and
justice Of railway charges In case
involving shorter-distance charges high
er than those TO or from longer-dis-
tance points the carrier cannot rightful-
~ claim justification for greater dis
similarity fl the rates than may be In
dictated by the ascertained dissim4larity
in circumstances and conditions.
There seem to be points in the de-
cision which are sare TO make trouble
whenever the long and snort haul ar
rangements OF railroads are under con-
sideration, which has caused the belief
that II Is better to have a court de-
cisiOn on the subject.

wabash to Enter Philadelphia.


Though much mystery still surrounds
the intentions of President George J.
Gould regarding any plan the Wabash
may have for entering Washington, il
is said he has obtained control of a
franchise by which the system can
reach Philadelphia. while traffic and
other arrangements are being made for
terminals in New York Concerning
the plans to reach Philadelphia, the
following alleged facts are given as to
the route to be followed. II is said a
loop is to be constructed from the ex-
tension already obtained to Baltimore up
to Parkersburg. From that point the
trains will use the Philadelphia and
Western trolley tracks to Sixty-third
and Market Streets. And from there.
By authority OF additional charter rights
and franchise, which, il is said. the
Wabash hopes to be able 10 obtain easily
from the councils, the line will con-
tnue into the city, skirting Bartram
Park and crossing the Schuylkiu River
near it,
The proposed extension will not neces-
state difficult engineering feats. The
line from Baltimore to Parkersburg will
be on a grade almost continuously level
and from Parkersburg TO Philadelphia.
when the Pennsylvania tracks are
reached, those of the Wabash will go
over them
II Is further stated that a number of
Philadelphia business men have had
conferences with men representing the
Gould interests in reference to the Wa
bash entering the city, and financial
support has been promised in addition
TO assistance in inducing the councils

New York Extensions.

Concerning the plans to enter New
York, il is said it is not likely that Mr..
Gould at present contempIates obtain
ing rights Of way or building any track
INTO the Empire city. beyond construct
ing a few small connecting lines. 1t is
said TO be the intention to obtain for
the Wabash trackage rights east OF
Buffalo. preferably with the Lake shore.
with terminals in Jersey City. over
which it can send its trains to the
Hudson River. The Lake Shore is the
main Eastern connection of the Wabash
now. and II is thought the Vanderbilts
would rather make the arrangements
suggested than lose the business they
are now getting from the Wabash by
allowing the Goulds TO make a deal
with some other line, possibly the Erie.
which is said to be planning to make
some extensions in the central West.
IL is known that the Erie has been
making overtures for a traffic agree
ment. but it is said that as yet nothing
definite has been done, the Gouids wait
ing FOR answer 20 the propositions made

An Interesting Decision.

The decision of the Interstate Com
merce Commission in the case of S.
Marten against the Louisville and Nash
VILE Railroad, handed down several
days ago is TO be taken into court. The
decision IS likely to be so wide in its
scope that systems all over the country
may become involved. Hence the de-
cision to take the case into court The
decision says:
Rates on lumber from Fountain Head,
GaIlatin, St Blaise. Pilot Knob and
Nashville. Tenn, 70 Detroit Mich. are
made by adding defendants rates to

Miss Eleanore M. Hill, for the past four
years has been a member of the faculty
of the New Mexico Normal University
OF Las Vegas, where she is head OF the
department of reading and physical cul.
ture. During the past year, while on
leave of absence, she has for the second
time had charge of the gymnasium work
and entertainments at the sanitarium.
Although Miss Hills work has stead
lily grown during the last five years, she
is not entirely unknown TO an Alma
audience. Some Of her earliest r~ecitals
were given here. Miss Hill Is very YER
satile, teaching, as well as reading, and
acting, as well AS coaching pays. She
unites the grace of cultivation with the
enthusiasm of superb health, n por-
trays the grave and gay, the humorous
and pathetic in life.

derful tenor voice, he chose "a business

result shows his wisdom, for as a bust
