that the body of II. Il. Mccarthy of this

personal effects along with his bank book.
He notified tho bank and aSduplicate book
was sent. Nothing was hoard of the thief.
wh6 oaffied the efforts NJ derectives.7 and
the AFFAIR was forgotten.
The finding of the body in the medical
college and the telltale bank book indicate
that the late possessor OF the bank book
came TO an unfortunate end. and that Nc
Carthy. the rightful owner OF the deposit,
is alive.
The real McCarthy's parents are promi-
nent residents of this place, and their fears
were allayed by the fact that they have

KANSAS CITY, Mo-. Dec 2l.-Chester I.
Long. United States senator from Kansas,
was the principal speaker tonight at dh-
ner given by the Knife and Fork club of
this city. Senator Long discussed the sub
Ject Proposed Rate Legislation" and gave
his views respecting all the plans sub
mitted thus far for the solution of the
question.
Senator Long spoke in part as follows:
Railroads are private property in the
sense that individuals own their stocks
in the sense that they have a duty to per-
form In relation to the public. they can
be regulated and controlled by law.
should cease Determinations between To-
calities must be only those that are due to
natural advantages which one city has over
another and to competition that may exist
at one place and not at another,
The responsibility rests upon congress to
frame a bill that will meet the situation
and prove effective when administered. 1t
is a great responsibility. The power OF
the railroads to fix rates is almost equal
to the power of taxation. The unrestricted
exercise OF this great power menaces the
rights and liberties of the public. Con-
gress has the unquestioned power to regu-
late and supervise the making of Interstate
rates, and it should exercise more of its
power so that the carrier may be COM
PEELED to treat the public with exact and
eNen-handed justice. Any attempt under
the guise of regulation to compel the car
rier to transport property at rate so low
that 1t Will not produce a fair return on
the investment will be declared invalid by
the courts. Thus there is no danger to the
, carriers in II bad, vicious and unfair law,
| but the injury will be to the shipper and
the public by attempting to provide them
relief through law that will be declared
Illegal and void.
Congress, in considering this question,
should determine IL not alone in the interest
of the carrier and the shipper, but in its
relations to the public as well. President
in las me =
gests the true course to take. and congress
will do well if II walks in the pathway
which he has there marked out
