A rear-end collision occurred at Four
Mile run yesterday morning shortly before
noon between electric cars on the Wash
ington, Alexandria and Mount Vernon rail-
road, in which q motorman, EnOch Davis,
was badly injured and several passengers
were severely shaken up. Motor ear No. II,
which left here for Washington at 11:2o,
ran on a side track in front of the power
house and crashed into the rear of motor
car No u, which was stationary. The
force of the collision threw the car which
was struck from the rails. Oyerturning ii
and shattering a portion Of the framework.
Some damage was also caused TO the north
bound motor, but It remained on the rails.
Motorman Davis, who was in the cab, was
thrown to the ground. When picked up he
was unconscious, and 1t was at first feared
that he had sustained fatal injuries, but he
was soon resuscitated. He was conveyed to
this city and was able to walk from the
station to his home on North Fairfax
street His back was found to have been
badly sprained. Several passengers were
bruised and cut with flying particles Of
glass There was no one in the stationary

TAKES HIS OWN LIFE
EDMUND P. CAPRON SWALLOWS
FATAL DOSE OF POISON.


Edmund p. Capron, sixty-ftve years old,
who was formerly employed in the editorial
departments Of the Kansas City Star and
St. Louis Globe Democrat, and who was
afterward chief clerk in the exploitation
department of the Louisiana purchase eX-
position, committed suicide in the Bristol
Hotel Saturday night by taking cyanide Of
potassium. His body was not found until
yesterday morning about 1915 o'clock,
when William Lewis, the janitor went to
his room.
On the back of a map found in the room
the unfortunate man had written a note to
his wife as follows:
Nellie, you are free. I so loved you that
I have given my life sacrifice for you that
you may have the happiness that you have
lCnged for so many times. / regret that
inflicted my life on yours"
1t was not until this morning that his
wife became aware of the suicide. She oc-
cupies a room in a house on New York
avenue near 18th street. As soon as she
learned Of what her husband had done she
went to the moreue and identified the body.
Although not possessed Of much of this
worlds goods she told the superintendent
of the morgue that she would do the best
she could to have the remains given
Christian burial
Shortly after the close Of the exposition
Mr. Capron and his wife gave up their
home at 1903 East Belle place, ST. Louis,
and came to this city,

Fails to Secure Employment.

The wife. it is stated. found employment
in a photograph gallery. Mr.. Capron was
not fortunate enough to secure position.
He had letters Of recommendation from
officers of the exposition company. These
letters stated that he was a careful and
efficient man of good executive ability. He
had not much cash, however, and found 1t
difficult to make both ends meet. Friday
he pawned his watch and had only few
cents left when he had paid for his room
in the Bristol Hotel.
A card case found in his pocket contained
AZ cents, and on the outside of the case was
the picture of a hand holding a pen, and
beneath it was written "Nellie's love- AT
the hotel he assumed the name 1T. john
ston," while he pawned his watch under
the name of 80. F. Hatch"
Mrs Capron was very much surprised
and shocked at the information of her hus-
bands death. She knew he had been de-
spondent because he was not employed, but
she did not think he would take his life.
She will probably correspond with friends
in ST. Louis before she takes any definite
step in the matter of making arrangements
for the funeral.

Never Found Insufficient.

This preventive method of dealing with
unlawful rates was deliberately adopted by
Congress, but has never been found in
sufficient in a single case; and It Is there
fore. an unvarranted attack upon the law
to assume. without any facts to support
the argument that this remedy is worth
less, especially when the nature Of the
remedy and the experience under il go 10
show that it is substantial and effective.
THE numerous failures of the commits
sion in litigation lave not been due TO any
defect in the law, but have been due in
vaTiably either TO the commissions adop-
ton of Illegal methods or 10 the commits
siou's mistaken condemnation Of practices
not prohibited by law.
AN additional remedy Of considerable
Importance which is exercised from time to
time, and which doubtless could be exer-
cised much more freely If its use were en-
couraged, is that whereby the commission
may award reparation to any person ag-
grieyed by the carriers charging any un-

Fires Shot at Burglar.

The police department is investigating an
attempted robbery at the secondhand store
of Peter Pullman on King street, which
was reported at the station house early Sun
day morning Mr.. John Force. who lives at
91S King street. appeared at the station
house Yesterday morning about 40 o'clock
and informed Lieut.. Smith that he had killed
a burglar in a chase from King street to
an alley on North Patrick street. He stated
that he and Mr.. Harvey Poss had appre-
hended two men who appeared to be negroes
in the act of removing articles from the
show window which they had smashed.
Messrs Force and Poss ran the burglars
off, chasing them into an alley near Mayor
PAIRS residence. There Mr.. Force took
shot at one of the retreatng figures, which
was seen to fall. Leaving his companion on
guard Mr.. Force went TO the station mouse
To report the supposed killing. But the in
yestigations of the premises failed to reveal
the remains of the burglar. Marks
were found in the alley, showing that the
men had escaped by scaling Mayor Pairs
fence. Several articles which the burglars
were unable to carry off were found out
side the store.

Provision Of the Elkins Act.

dlst1nct and very important proceed
ure Is provided by the Elkins act, where
by as to any unjustly discriminatory rates
the commission in the first instance and
without any formal hearing or order,
may bring suit in the circuit court to en-
join continuance of the discrimination
RMS avoids all the delay incident to n
formal hearing before the commission
Although the applicability of this proceed
ure to unjust discrimination in tariff
rates, even between different localities
was more than two years ago expressly
declared by the supreme Court to exist
under the ElktnS act, and although # is
evidently convenient and speedy yav
OF preventing unjust determinations II
has never been resOrted to in a single in
stance
Thus, there IS in the present law def
mite provision for the correction by the
courts of every unreasonable or uniuStlv
discriminatory rate. with special pro-
vision for the speedy disposition of all
SuCh cases and with special provision to
prevent any delay on account of appeals
by the carrier. Therefore the widely pre-
Valllng impression that under the present
law carriers may at their pleasure and
without control charge unreasonably high
and unjustly discriminating rates is thor
every rate charged by carrier is subject
to the direct and effective control of the
courts of the United States to prevent
such rate from violating the Interstate
commerce law in any respect. 1t is the
courts, and not, as frequently claimed
the carriers, who are the judges of what
is reasonable and just under the law
