LEGAL BATTLE IS ON
COMMISSION INVESTIGATING THE
 PRIVATE CAR LINES.
Tramc Freight Managers of the Illinois Central and the Pennsylvania Show Disposition to Embar-
 raas the Armours.

Washington, Oct. 1s.--what promises 10 extend into a legal and legislative battle against private car lines was pre- cipitated by the interstate Commerce Commission by the course taken today at the beginning of the hearing insti- tuted to show the connection between refrigerator car lines and railroads.
 Counsel for the commission directed every effort to bring out the fact that great railroad systems operating their own refrigerator lines give to their shipeprs a much lower rate for refrig- eration than Is obtained on roads that are compelled to operate in connection with private car lines.
 The Illinois Central and the Pennsyl- vania, through their traffic managers who were on the stand the greater prat of the day. apparently aided the commission
 As a result there were many sharp mission an dthe attorneys for the Ar mour car lines and other private com panies.
 The action of the commission in ini- tiating and prosecuting the complaints has the double purpose of establishing and correcting the evils complained of The chief contest is expected to develop on the point of jurisdiction.
 Chairman Knapp opened the hearing by reviewing the proceedings institut- ed and calling up the first case, which was directed against practically all of the roads of the Southeastern United States and the Armour car lines. These roads were represented by c. B. North rup. of Washington. for the Southern Railway; Frank Gowan. of Philadel- phia, for the Pennsylvania, and Edward Baxter of Nashville, Tenn, for the Sea- board Air Line. Atlantic Coast Line, Central of Georgia and other railways in the complaint. These roads were served by individual representatives also. The Armour Car Lines were rep resented by A. R. Union and A. F. Reichman of Chicago. Frank Barry, who represented the Interstate Com merce Commission in bringing out the evidence and examining witnesses, stated that several roads had not filed contracts existing with car lines and these were caled for by, Chairman Knapp.
 Mir. Urion for the Armour Car Lines, objected to proceeding until the com mission had announced the general scope and purposes of the inquiry. and indicated whether there Is to be a con- crete finding on which some subsequent proceedings could be had
 The Commission, after consultation. announced that formal complaints had been hled against specific companies to ascertain whether their charges are reasonable or If discriminations are made against any persons, and that 1t was not prepared to say what its sub sequent course would be.
 Chairman Knapp said he presumed 1t would be the duty of the commission to make defnite order against any

defendants found guilty of violating the regulations or to dismiss proceed ings in specific cases, where the proofs sustain the dnial oef any one or more railroad or car lines.
 W. c. Rowley, General Freight Agent of the Michigan Central testi- ned that his road has no contracts with refrigerator lines; that 1t had borrowed during the fruit season 250 cars from the Santa Fe Refrigerator Dispatch under the agreement to loan a like number to the Dispatch Line at other times. but the Dispatch Line had nothing to do with charges made for pays three-auarters of cent a mile for the cars borrowed. whether oper- ated empty or loaded
 The shippers are charged $250 a ton for ice put in cars" said Mir Row ley. He estimated the actual cost of ice. not including hauls or interest on ice house investments, at $1.e4 ton. Rapids, Mich., to Boston, Mass, was es- tfmated at $25, and he contended that che price was down to the actual cost.
 Mfr. Rowley said his road aoes not publish a schedule of refrigeration charges. but the tariff carries a nota- tion that ice will be furnished to ship pers at $2.50 a car. At points where iCc II Suppilcu Dy lOCdl GedlGTS, the road pays $2.5o ton. Mir. Rowley's claim was that no profit is made on ice by the road.
 F. B. Bowes, Freight Traffic Mana ger of the Illinois Central Railroad, testified that his road operates 2.45s refrigerator cars and had no agree ment with private car lines for addi- tional cars. He said, however, there is a difference In the amount paid, ac- cording to the territory in which the cars are operated. He said the rate north of Cairo Is 1 cent a mile and from Chicago to the Southeast three quarters of a cent of a mile, and that his road was compelled to pay for ser vice the rate paid by its competitors. though no contract existed.
 MT. Reichman, for the Armour lines, interrupted:
 '"The Illinois Central gets paid the same when it's cars are used on other lines"
 Tt does." replied Mir. Bowes. we receive a per diem charge of 20 cents a car. the same as we receive for stock or box cars"
 Mir. Bowes filed a statement to show that an Illinois Central Railroad re- frigerator car averages about forty four miles a day, and if paid for on the mileage basis, the receipts per car would be about s3 cents. In other words, he said. the private car lines receive a much higher rate for ser vice than do the railroads themselves.
 At the afternoon session, MT. Bowes gave testimony regarding the cost of icing cars from Louisiana points to Chi cago. Specifying ten cars of berries shipped from Independence, La. to Chi cago, he said they were iced three times CT route and the total cost of ice for them was $405, the ice costing .t.1 f,a%x Ao n
 MT. Barry for the commission, said he believed these figures would fur nish basis for figuring the cose of icting.

Civil Service Commissioner Thinks N
 Will Prove Beneficial.

Civil Service Commissioner Thtnks M VIII Prove Beneficial.
 Washington, Oct. 1S.-Civil Service Commissioner Cooley has made the foi- lowing statement regarding the Pres- ident's last civil service order;
 The morning papers in commenting on the order of the President In re- gard to removals, all seem to overlook the fact that the substantive rishts oI employees in the government serVice are practically unaffectd by the oroer' The change is merely in the procedure. The heads of departments have away , had absolute right of remoVai, out un der section of rule IF, they nave heretofore been required to sNe .9 . the person sought to be removed n copv of tbe charges against him and allow him a reasonable time in which to reply. The head of departments was always the sole judge as to the sum cIency of the explanation offered by the employees. The civil service com mission never had any )urlsolctloh whatever, except to see that the pro- cedure required by the rule was toi- lowed.
 'The recent order of the President requires the heads of the departments to file a statment in writing of the req son of all removals but 1t does not re- ouire that it be given the person sought to be discharged, An excep- ton to this Is If the misconduct is committed in the view and presence of the President or the head of an executive department: In such case no statement of reasons TOT the removal from the service need pc filed.

KEPT IN EVERY hOME -Dr. D. D.
 DURING fall weather. open street cars are a frequent source of catching cold.
 Starting out In the middle of the day, when 1t Is quite warm. one often finds himself getting chilly at the close of the day and unprovided with wrap to protect himself against the draughts In the car.
 NEGLECT IS DANGEROUS.
 A slight cold is the result. This Is the most dangerous kind of all colds. The system is naturally depressed by the warm weather and it cannot shake of the cold as easily as in the winter time. It Is always extremely risky for any one to neglect prompt treatment of an autumn cold.
 Notwithstanding the danger that at- tends riding in the street car they are very useful means of locomotion. Everybody must patronize them at least occasionally and the majority of people find 1t convenient to do so daily.
 Dr. Hartman gives 1t as his opinion that no other convenience of modern civilization Is indirectly responsible for so many cases of chronic catarrh as the street car
 This opinion ought to interest those who depend upon the street car for transportation.

possIBILIrY OF coNrAGroN.


 Another important item in this con- nection Is the danger of infection in a street car. Often people are crowded together like sardines in box. They touch each other and an intimate con- tact Is brought about unknown in any other public place. This cannot be other than frequent means of spread ing disease.
 The only safety that can be availed of is the keeping of the body in excel lent condition. So long as the mucous membranes are free from catarrh. so long there is little or no danger of catching disease.
 HEALTHY MUCOUS MEMBRANES. It is through the mucous membranes that the disease germs and poisonous materials find their entrance into the body.
 Peruna Is without a rival in keeping the mucous membranes clean. strong and healthy.
 An occasional dose of 1t for those who are well, and a thorough course of Peruna for those who are afflicted with catarrh. brings comparative safety in these cases.
 Where Pcruna Is taken. catarrh does not exist.
 Where catarrh does not exist, con- tagious diseases do not invade.
