For Railway Reforms.

Washington-Secret Morton, at
the request of the president has TAX
en- charge OF the matter OF securing
interstate commerce legislation equit-
able both to the railroads and the pub
lie. The plan he has outlined is:
Government supervision of inter-
state rates. through the interstate
commerce committee, on complaint OF
unreasonable charge.
Authorization in law OF equitable
apportionment of railway earnings, in
other words, legalizing pooling.
The establishment of a central in
terstate commerce court, composed or
say three or five members. sitting at
Washington, with final jurisdiction
save that, of course. the right OF ap-
neal may lie when questions OF con-
stitutional Interpretation are raised by
ertrIer party.
Instead of having the rate decreed
reasonable by the interstate commerce
commission go into effect subjecting
the railroads to loss without chance OF
redress in case some time afterward
the court reyerses the committees
findings, to provide that when a rate
complained of is set aside by the com
mission. and another substituted, the
railroad may still go on charging the
original rate by filing bond securing
to shippers a refund In case the cour
finally upholds the commission.
Prohibition by law Of all private
freight cars, private side tracks ant
terminals, compelling interstate car
riers to accord snch facilities to al
alike,

home to Cleveland "Wednesday. She
was greeted with jeers. boots and
Kisses by the crowds that gathered in

howled at by hundreds gathered in
front of the Federal building.
The last sound that reached her
from the outside world, as she passed
into the stuffy, ill.smelling office OF
Sheriff Barry in the county jail, was
the hoot of derision from the people
massed in front OF the doorway.
She made no attempt to give bail,
and after a brief stop in the Office OF

taken to jail She is held in cell IA
in the women's department OF the jail,
and her palatial residence on Euclid
avenue, of which the furnishings alone
are valued at s20o,00n, is orenpied by
her maid.
Her courage held 10 the last, but
her body failed her, and when she had
mounted the three flights of stairs
leading to the tier of cells where she
is to remain, she collapsed utterly and
fell in a dead faint. But for the aid
of Deputy U. S. Marshals Kumb and
Kelker, who held her up and carried
her along as she mounted the stairs,
she never would have been able to
reach her cell
Breathless. pale and staggering. she
was barely able to reach chair, as
the steel door of the woman's corridor
swung open to receive her.
She sank feebly into chair, hel
head fell backward, and but for the
marshals she would have rolled to the
floor. Water was quickly brought tt
her, and in a few seconds she revived
and was again a woman of business

Boston. What are the feelings OF
woman on frail piece of wreckage
in midocean in midwinter storm,
with scarcely any food and no fresh
water, and with eight men-inclnding
her husband-for companiOns?"
This was substantially the question
which was asked Mrs. w. Il. Reemle
on board the Clyde line steamer New
York soon after the vessel had tied
up to Lewis wharf.
This steamer had on board Capt
Reemie, his wife and the crew of seven
men of the barkentine Emita, which
was wrecked in fierce storm on Dia-
mond shoals of Cape Hatteras last
Saturday night.
Sunday afternoon the New York
sighted the raft on which these people
had been drifting at the mercy of the
stormy sea for Is hours and who when
rescued were almost exhausted from eX'
posure.
A little curl Of smoke in the thick,
distant horizon was first noticed by the
New York's lookout; then a ragged
flag and spar and a dark object which
the lookout at first supposed was the
charred remains of the deck OF some
vessel that had suffered that horror
of all horrors at sea-fre. Then when
II became evident that there were hui
man beings on that frail object the
greatest interest prevailed on board the
New York, which headed straight for
the raft, lowered boat and rescued
the nine shipwrecked people who had
almost given up hope.
The four sturdy sailors with Chief
Officer Googins. who manned the life
boat from the New York, found that
the smoke lich they had first seen
came from fire that had been kindled
for the double purpose OF afording
warmth and attracting attention, the
tattered flag was an old blanket that
had been hoisted On spar as signal
of distress, but their greatest surprise
was to find among those on the raft
a young woman in Oilskins and sou
wester and rubber boots, and by long
odds the most cheerful of those on
board the raft, which proved to be the
forward portion of the deck OF the
Emita that had held together through
the storm after the barkentine had
otherwise been pounded to fragments
on Diamond shoals.
Capt. Reemie and his wife and the
crew had had an awful experience dur
ing that terrible night after the Emita
had struck the shoals, when, in the
bowling gale after the first shock ant
shiver the masts and spars and rigging
came tumbling in the darkness oNel
the deck and sides OF the vessel while
the waves rolled 10 feet high at times
over everything and swept, the decks
carrying all that was movable into tht
bowling darkness. The captain, hi:
wife and the crew were almost eN
hausted when daylight broke and th'
storm had abated somewhat. The!
hadn't been able to save thing ex
cept the clothes they had on thei
backs, except Mrs. Reemie, who i'm
mediately after the vessel struck hat
put on an oilskin coat, a sou'W 'Weste
and rubber boots with which her hus
band had provided her for just such al
emergency.
The captain, his wife and crew wer
we'll taken care Of on board the New
York, and when they arrived in Bosto
they showed little signs OF the hard
ehips they had endured.
