TURNED NURSE OUT.
Countess AIOntignoso- Accused Her of
Being a Spy.

Florence, Feb. 16.-The affairs of
the Countess Montignoso, former wife
of King Frederick Augustus of Sax
ony, have taken a dramatic turn. For
some time the countess has suspected
that her German nurse; Mahote, was
planning to abduct the little Princess
Anna Monica Pia and place her In
day under the prtext that the German
consul was waiting to see the nurse
at the gate of the villa where the
countess is residing the latter led
Mahote to the gate. Then, quickly
pushing the nurse outside and closing
and locking the gate. the countess
cried "Go to your master, spy"
Entering the house the countess or
dered all of Mahote's belongings
thrown out of the window to the
street. The nurse protested against
her ejectment, but unavailingly, and
later applied to a locksmith to aid her
in re-entering the villa, saying she
had lost her key. The locksmith de-
clined.
Failing to enlist the locksmith's
assistance Mahote went to Dr. Koet-
here recently to demand that the
Countess Montignoso relinquish the
custody of the Princess Anna to King
Frederick Augustus, and he, in COM
pany with the German consul, re-
turned with her to the villa where
they found all the doors bolted and.
even the bell wires cut. DR.. Koerner

whole did.
THE circumstance is certainly re-

were reduced in the earlier months of
the year. and considering also that gen

TERRIBLE TRUxroN CANYON.
Santa Fe Has Much Trouble keeping
Mountain Pass in Repair.

Notwithstanding the. fact that the last
Washout on the Santa Fe at Truxton
canyon near Kingman, has been re-
paired, the repairs are only temporary
and passage of trains over the damaged
road is necessarily slow.
The. Truxton canyon section of road
has given the Santa Fe trouble ever since
the road was constructed. Various en-
gineers have inspected the. ground and
recommended changes which it was be-
lieved would remedy the trouble, but all
changes have been of no avail. The tracks
have been moved from one side of the
canyon to the other, have been showed
up the side of the hill, but no matter
what the change. nor where the tracks
are placed, the flood waters seem to find
them and summer and winter the Santa
Fe has the same trouble.
Santa Fe officials are expecting at any
time to be notified of another Washout
al Truxton and to have another general
tieup. Those who are familiar with the
history of the Truxton section have come
to the conclusion that public meeting
of protest will do about as much good
toward keeping the road in permanent re-
pair as all the repair work that can be
done.

RAILROAD NEWS.
The Rebate Law Is In Need of
Revision.
Railway Men Desire Tt as Much
as Shippers.
THE FINES IMPOSED.
Officials Should Not Be Required
to Pay Fines for Violations.
Belief Is General That Railroad
Should Pay.

While considerable difference in opin-
ion exists among railroad officials as
to the efficacy of the various measures
introduced in congress for the regula-
ton of railroads, practically all of them
are of the opinion that the present law
in regard to rebates needs amendment
Under the present law an official
found guilty of giving a rebate or dis
eliminating is subject to a heavy fine
Formerly the official could be punished
by imprisonment, but this was re-
peaIed.
1t is contended by railroad officials
that only in rare instances does traf-
fic official give a rebate without in
structions from his superior officer, who
in turn is under the guidance of high
er official. Under these conditions it is
argued that the law should be 50
amended that a traffic official should
not be fined but the fine should be as
sessed against the company and the
official should be exempt from punish
ment.
The heavy fines which are assessed
for giving rebates in many instances
could not be collected from an official,
but in every instance where the COM
pany was liable the fine could be as
sesSed and collected.
Another feature of railroad legislation
which causes much comment is the fact
mission as an adjuster of rates the
railroads would have but little use for
a traffic department.
While it is perfectly clear that the
interstate commerce commission is not
to make all the rates, traffic managers
state that there is not a small town on
the lines, where there is a business or
ganization, that does not claim it is be-
ing Disseminated against in favor of
some other point
All of these claims would be filed with
the interstate commerce commission
for adjustment, and under these con-
ditions the railroad companies could say
to the shippers: I'VE have had this
rate between the points to which you
desire to ship freight. but one of the
towns fled a protest with the Interstate
commission for readjustment OF rates;
It would therefore be best for you to
learn what rate the commission is to
fix.
While traffic managers are not ex-
pressing themselves as violently OPP
posed to railroad legislation, and are
earnestly in favor of any effectual
which will check the giving
Of rebates or Determinations between
lines, they are of the opin-
ion that the claims will be too numer-
Gus, the conditions too varied and the
problems too complex for one set of
men to adjust the rate differences for
the entire country
