Paul MOrtOn's Ideas About Rate
Regulation.
Would Establish Several New
Courts to Adjudicate Matters.
APPEAL AFTER APPEAL
MortOn's Plan Gives Railways
Many Legal Opportunities.
Could Keep Disputed Questions
in Court While Shipper Waits.

washington, Jan. 13.-PauI Morton,
secretary of the navy and former vice
president of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe Railroad company, is the au-
thor Of an article on the railway rate
question which will be published in the
Outlook tomorrow. He in the outset
expressly disclaims writing as a. repre-
sentative Of President Roosevelts adj
ministration and says he speaks mere
" as one with somewhat extensive ex-
perience pertinent to an important sub
1ect.
The secretary in the article says there
are very few complaints against rail-
road rates per Sc in the United States
the chief trouble being with the re-
lation Of rates as between markets"
He says there are as many rates that
are too low as there are rates which a
court would decide to be too high, and
that either class Of rates may be equal
" disastrous to communities. He ex
presses the opinion that federal super
vision Of railroads is necessary but adds
that regulation and protection should
60 together. He says that one of the
three things following is sure to take
place in conduct of our railways:
'First-Legislation Of pools-the right
Of the railroads to make enforceable
contracts between themselves as to a
division of earnings. so that they can
resist the temptations of big shippers

Inside Nervesl

Only one woman in SO has perfect
health. And almost all womanly sickness
can be traced to common cause.-The
nerves are weak. Not the nerves you or
dinarily think about-not the nerves that
govern your movements and your
thoughts.
But the nerves that, unguided and IN
known, night and day, keep the heart in
motion-control the digestive apparatus
regulate the hver-operats the kidneys
the nerves on which the vital functions
depend.
These are the nerves that wear est and
break down.
1t does no good to treat the ailing or
gan-the irregular heart-the disordered
liver-the rebellious stomach-the derang-
ed kidneys. They are not to blame. But
60 back to the nerves that control them.
BILE.
There IS nothing new about this-noth-
ing any physician would dispute. But it
remained for DR.. Shoop to apply this
knowledge-to put it to practical use DR.

quarter century Of endeavor along this
very line It does not dose the organ or
deaden the pain-but it does go at once to

and makes it well-and that is the end OF
Wonanly weakness.

A BAD WRECK
California Limited Wreck Worst In
HistOry of Las VEGAS Division

California Limited Wreck Vvora+ II,
History of Las Vegas Division.
The Santa Fe California Limited
wreck yesterday was one of the worst
Vegas division of the Santa. Re gvs-
tenn, both in the way of casualties and
pecuniary loss. The trains met on a
long hill in a dense fog. The passen-
ger Wnlcn mas the right of way over
the freight, was bowling along at 40
miles an hour. The freight was de-
scending the incline and was also
making fast time in an effort to reach
lip Top before the Limited arrived.
The impact of the two trains was
terrific and wreckage from the two
engines, baggage and express cars and
freight cars was hurled high in the
air in every direction. Both engines
are almost totally ruined and the
track and right of way is piled high
with debris.
The engine crew of the Limited
owing to the dense fog could not see
the freight until it was too late to
jump. Engineer Allison in a flash
closed his throttle and applied the
air brakes, but the train was under
such tremendous momentum that no
earthly power could stop it's speed.
The Limited had the right of way
over the freight, which was an extra,
but the freight Grew thought they had
time to reach Tip Top ahead of the
other train.
The passenger train was heavily
laden and the occupants of the cars
were hurled from their seats and
berths with great violence. A ma
Jority of them sustained bruises by
being thrown against the sides of the
cars and the seats. Many of them
were cut about the hands and faces
by pieces of glass from the car win
dows, which were shattered into
thousands of fragments.
A negro waiter is reported missing,
and several tramps who were stealing
rides on both the Limited and the
freight may have been killed. A late
report from Wagon Mound states that
1--WE persons in all were killed in the
wreck, but no additional names were
given.
The wrecked passenger train was
the = eastbound California Limited,
made up entirely of Pullman cars.
The dining, compartment and bag
sleepers were not much damaged.
Traffic was annulIed all day.

Pittsburg, Kas., Jan. 13.-"The pros

which event all of the men who have
been living here will remain residents
of Pittsburg with their families. There
will also likely be a round-house built

KILLS GERMS OF CATARRH
Hvonaei Goes to the Root of the Dis
ease and Makes Astonishing Cures.

EFvonoef Goes to the Root of the Dis
ease and Makes Astonishing Cures.
Catarrh cannot be cured by the use
of pills. liquid medicines and so-called
system tonics. Under such treatment
the germs of the disease will still live
in the air passages and increase and
multiply.
Hvomei is the only scientific and
thorough way to cure catarrh- KILL
ing the germs in the air passages. it
enters the blood with the oxygen, de-
stroys the microbes in the blood and
effectually drives from the system all
traces of catarrhal poison.
Thousands of testimonials have
been given as to the astonishing cures
made by this remedy.
Mrs. Lee Rendu, &c Western Avenue,
Cleveland, Ohio, writes: II believe
Hyomei saved my life. am better
now than I have been in thirty years.
Many doctors. both in England and
France, treated me for catarrh, but
I was not cured until I used Hyomei."
Probably the strongest evidence
that can be offered as to the powers
of Hyonei to cure catarrh is the fact
that sRowley and Snow, 500 Kansas
avenue. will agree to refund the
money if you say Hyomei has not
cured you
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but s1.OO, consisting of an inhaler,
dropper and sufficient Hyomei to last
several weeks. This will effect cure
in ordinary cases, but for chronic
and deep-seated cases of catarrh,
longer use may be necessary, and
then extra bottles of Hyomei can be
obtained for SOC.

The Chicago Tribune says: The San
ia F'e railroad, after all, has decided it
does not desire to have its case re-
opened for a new hearing by the inter-
state commerce commission. President
Ripley has so determined. He declares
that Secretary Paul Morton, formerly
vice president of the road, had nothing
TO DO with the decision. Ten days ago,
after the commission, in a session in
Chicago, had shown that the Santa FNc
was favOring the Colorado Fuel and
Iron company at the expense of rival
concerns IN the southwest, Mr.. Ripley
openly attacked Commissioner Prouty'S
motives, and demanded a rehearing.
me commissioners granted it, and the
expectation was that the secretary of
the navy would be a witness, he having
been in general charge of Santa Fe
traffic at the time the alleged favors
and rebates were granted. But pros
poets of a sensational reopening of the
case grew dim last night. when Presi-
dent Ripley decided he did not care for
it. The question now is: ''Will the in
terstate commerce commission reopen
the case anyhow in order even more
clearly to demonstrate that the Santa
Fe road has been breaking the law?'
The Chicago Inter-Ocean says: pres
ident Ripley's claim that the Santa
Fe's violation of the law was purely
technical and that there was no dis
elimination between shippers is hardly
borne out by the fact that the Gale
DOMAIN Coal company has sued the
Santa Fe for 100000 damages, which it
alleges it sustained as a result of secret
discrimina ton in rates by the railway
company in favor of the Colorado Fuel
and Iron company. The anxiety of the
Santa Fe to get the rebate case out of
the hands of the interstate commerce
commission raises the question as TO
the future Of the $4,000 damage suit
filed against that railroad by the Gale
DOMAIN Coal company. Will it be fought
to q finish or quietly settled out of
court Even If that case is carried

interesting facts involved in the Santa
