SUSPICIOUS OF PROMISES.

Washington, Dec. 29.-The traffic
managers representing thirteen Of the
Western railroads who have come on
here to promise the Interstate Commerce
Commission that they viii be good arc
not taken very seriously by the Commits
sion. The commissioners are inclined
to regard the plea 81 the railroad men az
sort Of deathbcd repentance. They also
suspect that behind the apparent desire
OF the traffic managers TO corporate in
an effort 10 stop relating and abolish all
other forms Of discrimination is d desire
TO leave the impression that after all
there Is no necessity for further rail-
road legislation at this time.
1t must be said for the traffic mans
ayers, however, that they appear to l.1ye
come here IN good faith They are ex-
pressing d desire To unite their efforts
with those of the Interstate Commerce
Commission for the purpose of abolishing
every evil Of which the public is com
planning. Privately they say il is use
less TO contend that there are no evils
to be corrected; but every evil complain
ed Of, they declare, can be eradicatel BY
cooperation between the railroads and
the commission. For one thing traffic
men propose that they shall appoint
committee, q SORT Of smelling con-
mittee, which shall make business Of
investigating alleged determinations.
This committee If appointed would re.
port the information ,nlearthcd BY II to
The Interstate Commerce Commission
and would also guarantee to punish By
dismissal every railroad man found
guilty oE giving rebates or practising
ether forms 81 discrimination. Doubt
less some good will come Of the traffic
managers, but the Interstate Commerce
Commission proposes to hold fast TO the
demand fol the legislation for which
President Roosevelt Is asking. One sug-
gestion Of the traffic managers is that

Perrysburg,. O. Dec 90 Caught in

young men, believed to be members Of
the safe blowers gang which raided the
Central avenue ear barns at Toledo Sun
day, drew revolvers, and, shooting to
kill, wounded Marshal Frank Thornton

While the five men were eating in the
station restaurant, Marshal Thornton
entered, and with Deputy Scott attempt
ed to place them all under arrest The
desperadocs crowded close about the

Thornton fell at almost the first shot,
his abdomen pierced By 44calibrc bull

before the gang broke and lied, leaving
the marshal and his deputy prone on the
sidewalk.

A DIFFERENCE
IN LUNGS.

In the Edinburgh Uni
versity three human lungs lie
side by side One is Of an
Eskimo and is snow white.
In life, this would be ruddy
with rich blood. Another is
that of a coal-miner and is
black. The other is of a town
dweller and is a dirty slate
gray, as are the lungs Of most
city residents. That's why
consumption thrives in cities.
One reason why SCOTS
Emulsion does so much to
keep down consumption is
because it helps to keep the
lungs clean and supplies
them with rich, red blood. 1t
makes the lungs germ-re-
sisting. If the body is run
down and health is at a low
ebb SCOTS Emulsion will
build it up quickly and per-
manently.
