Speaking recently TO a friend in New
York in regard to this, Mr.. James said:
"In common with all the world, l was
admiring his ability to make one situa-
ton serve him thrice. 1t is as though
there were a red glass, blue glass and
a green glass rearranged in various
ways; and TO the artist who can re-
arrange the combinations with each of
the three times an equally charming
effect there is Difference. Nothing in
what l said is to be translated beyond
appreciation of Harland's handling his
material, which, after all, is the ma
terial he knows and loves and can
write best about. The man who laughs
aloud at my little word of observation

Holmes stories in book form. announce
that the volume had gone into third
edition before its date of publication.
Evidently the friends of the great
Sherlock are even more numerous than
ever, and they want him whole, rather
than in sections. 1t seems that the
serialiZation of a good story does not
damage its sale between covers, for
though these Sherlock Holmes stories
have been printed in installments, their
appearance in that form has evidently
only whetted the appetite of Sherlock
Holmes admirers. All of this seems to
be evidence that the book is the thing,
and that people only taste serials to
see the quality and get the book when
it comes out. DR.. Doyle's THE Hound

GOVERNOR cuMm,hs rEsTiFlss.
Gives His Views on Railway Rate Leg
tsiation Before Senate Committee.


Governor A. B. Cummins OF Iowa
testified in Washington last week be-
fore the senate committee on inter-
state comm cree, which is considering
railroad legislation. He criticised the
statement by railroad men that rates
were low enough now and the impress
sion he said they endeavored to con-
vey that the object sought was to give
power to the commission to fix all
rates.
Governor Cummins advocated the
establishment of tribunal to give
business competitors a square deal in
securing transportation to markets
and cited Dubuque and Fort Dodge as
among cities disseminated against.
He said that badly adjusted railway
rates had demoved Iowa's chances of
becoming a manufacturing state.
Chairman Elkins declared at this point
that before the committee got through
with the interstate commerce law it
would be amended. Governor Cum
minis said the commission should be
given power to either lower or raise
rates. He said he would not fNoor a
minimum rate. except to prevent dis
elimination. He would support the
Esch- Townsend bill II 1t were not pos
sible to get better measure. The
law, az far as rebates are concerned,
he commended. was as effective as it
could be made. He did not think the
