Secretary Bonaparte, it is believed. has
found a solution of the troubles at the

the rest OF the Government employees
This solution is in effect an entire re-
organization of the yard contemplating

Bonaparte, il is said, will advocate that
the yard be known hereafter as the

Ricketts, Friends
Working Hard for Him

In view of the general character of the
testimony given By Oscar J. Ricketts,,
foreman of printing and candidate for
Public Printer at the Keep commission
sessions yesterday, his friends are more
confident than at any time since the
inquiry began that Mr.. Ricketts, viii
be the next Public Printer.
From the beginning of the investiga-
ton there have been fears among the
supporters of Mr. Ricketts, that, by rea-
son of the antagOnisDs and bitterness
incident to an internecine fight inside
the big Office, Mr.. Ricketts, would, with
no fault of his own. suffer. The fear
has been that the President might pre-
fer to go outside the office in his search
for new man. in order that the present
fractional division in the establishment
should not be perpetuated-
The belief at the printery daily gains
before long Sentiment there is for
Ricketts,. 1t had been feared that any
tendency to press matters to extremes.
In the examination Of Mr.. Ricketts,. or
in the testimony he might give, would
impress the appointive power that his
Elevation TO the head position might be
regarded as the triumph of a revolution.
and cause laxity and Reorganization
But in the view of his friends Mr..
Ricketts, got out of an embarra ssing
situation with utmost credit to himself.
He did not indulge in any extreme state
ments or bitterness. He told a plain
story, clearly indicating his own posi-
ton, without making disa greeable
charges against anybody else
The President is very definitely under
stood TO have offered the position of
Public Printer to at least two men, both
of whom declined II. This fact of ten
sders being made TO outside men does
Aot worry the Ricketts, people within the
office. They say that nobody else has
made any showing Of support for the
position
Mr. Ricketts, has the backing of almost
all the members of the great delegations
from New York and Pennsylvania The
Illinois delegation of which he is a
political protege because of his citizen
ship in that State, has taken up his
cause with enthusiasm and Senators
Cullom and Hopkins and especially
Speaker Cannon, have repeatedly press
ed his claims on the President
In addition, Mr.. Ricketts, is credited
with a very powerful support in the
Western States, and with the solid vote
OF the Minnesota delegation, most OF
Wisconsin. Nebraska, Massachusetts,
and Ohio. There is no other real can
didate in the field and it is believed
there will be none.

Mr. Ricketts, declared positively that
A p Marston, the printer member Of
the committee that Investigated and pre-
pared special report No. g. on which the
order for the Lanstons was based, told
him before his death that the Mergen-
thalers were preferable for general
work. He was sure that Marston
would never have signed the report
that was made, and that the statement
appended to il. that all its contents and
conclusions were approved by him, could
not be true.
Il good deal of technical ground was
gone over in the explanation of Mr..
Ricketts, views of the comparative
merits of the two machines. The Ian
ston attorneys tried TO show that Mr..
Ricketts, was on unduly intimate rela-
tons with the officers Of the Mergen-
thaier company. Mr.. Ricketts,, in re-
ply to questions. admitted having once
been entertained by President Dodge. OF
the Mergenthaler comany, in New
York. AT that time he was member OF
committee OF three examining printing
materials, and he and his associates.
Messrs. Cottle and Tapley, thought there
was no improperly in accepting the en-
tertainment because it was the way
business men did in New York. He had
not been entertained at any other time

that he was a close personal friend, and

RAILROAD RATE LEGISLATION
It Is Unconstitutional and Unneces-
sary to Confscate the Property
of the Railways.

Testifying before the Senate Com
mittee at Washington, Inter -State Com
merce Commission Prouty said in dis.
cussing the proposition to give to that
Commission the power to regulate rail
way rates:
II think the railways should make
their W rates. I think they should
be allowed to develop their W bust
ness. have never advocated any law,
and l am not now in favor of any
law, which would put the rate making
power into the hands of any COM
mission or any court. While it may be
necessary to do that some time, while
that is done in some states at the pres
ent time, while it is done in some coun-
tries, | am opposed to it. . The
railway rate is property. 1t is all the
property that the railway has got. The
rest of its property is not good for
anything unless it can charge a rate.
Now it has always seemed to me that
when a rate was fixed, if that rate was
an unreasonable rate, it deprives the
railroad company Of its property pro
tanto. 1t is not necessary that you
should confiscate the property of a
railroad; it is not necessary that YOU
should say that it shall not earn three
per cent. or four per cent. When
you put In a rate that is inherently
unreasonable, you have deprived that
company of It's rights, of its p~ronertv
and the Circuit Court Of the United
States has jurisdiction under the four
tenth amendment to restrain, that.
/. have looked at these cases
a great many times, and I can only
come to the conclusion that a railroad
company is entitled to charge a fair
n reasonable rate, and If any order
or a commission, If any statute of a
state legislature, takes away that rate.
the fourteenth amendment protects the
railway company"

SPECIALS.

Incandescent gases under slight
pressure give light composed Of lines,
but under pressure a continuous spec
trum.
According to recent measurements
the magnetic energy of the earth
seems to be decreasing at the rate of
l.6 per cent. in AZ years. While this
would be alarming if permanent, the
measurements are so incomplete a. to
Indicate the decrease may be only n
phase of the variation over q long
period.
Considerable reduction In the cost
OF fuel has been accomplished by the
introduction OF water gas in glass
melting and blowing in Bohemia and
Stockholm. In one instance where
coal gas had been previously used in
an incandescent lamp factory making
from 5000 to 1000 lamps a day. the
introduction of Dellwick gas effected
a saving in the cost of fuel of 80 per
cent. in soldering the glass bulbs and
heating the lamps during the
pumping.
The snakes tongue proves to be a
most remarkable organ. A Maryland
woman student finds that it's chief
function is connected with a sense of
feeling without touch, and may be a
finer development of the sense that en-
ables some people to avoid striking
obstacles in the dark. The forked tip
and the numerous folds behind it
greatly increase the surface exposure.
The cells of the epidermis are inter-
laced by a network of extremely fine
1bers, which center in a deep nerve

tending out into the folds.
