new SHELL Is
Ineffective

NEW YORK, Oct. 20.-The army
ordnance experts have just CON-
pleted a series of experiments with
a new shell filled with an anaes-
thetic, which, the inventor believed,
was destined to rob war of great
deal of its terrors. According to
his plan the enemy was to be bonn
barded with such shells which,
upon exploding, would release a
powerful anaesthetic in the form
of gas. He was confident that the
anaesthetic would be powerful
enough to put whole regiment to
sleep and make it possible to cap
ture the soldiers without killing or
wounding them. The experiments,
however, did not bear out the cor
rectness Of the inventors theory.
The tests were made on the Sandy
Hook proving grounds. The test
resulted in a fiat failure. The gas
did not even put a single rabbit
to sleep.

There has been a good deal said
about the End-Seat hog.
He is pest. Unless chance gives
you the end seat you feel that boil
ing in oil is the only real punish
ment for the e. S. H.
But there is another member Of
the HOG family that has gained
but little publicity, and is even
more of a human curse that the E.

him.
He doesn't ask for the end seat.
He has a better thing than that.
He sits with his legs spraddled out
and never thinks of moving UP
close to his seatmate to make room
for one more.
If the conductor makes him move
he scowls and does it with such
surly grace that, if you are man

Offer ROOSEVELT
THE INJUNCTION

this remedy deny that they are ask
ing the courts to go into the rate
making business. They say they are
not quarreling with the recently
rendered opinion of the attorney
general that the courts may not
by appeal or otherwise, fix future
rates. 1t is claimed that the decree
of the court, after finding rates to
be discriminatory, would be an or
der enjoining the offending road
from continuing to collect the I'M
fair rates. Any failure to comply
in spirit as well as letter with the
courts mandate would be contempt.
While the court would not name
new substitute rate, the injunc-
ton would compel the roads to
adopt a reasonable rate and would
compel them to secure the courts
consent to modify it, even if condi-
lions changed and 1t became neces-
sary to change the rate.
The novelty of the proposition
the correction of rate discrimina-
tons by injunction-is likely to at
tract lively attention. While there
has not been so much agitation of
government by injunction" of late
years, there is still widespread
sentiment that the courts powers
in this direction have been already
considerably stretched.
The compromise has not yet been
formally laid before President
Roosevelt, but those who have been
shaping it up profess to be hopeful
that the president will be persuad-
ed to accept it.
No legislation is the alternative
which the railways offer him.
