sentiment Representative Hepburn
chairman of the house interstate COM
meree committee, sees in it a plan to
turn the commission over to the rail-
roads. Whatever may be its real pur-
pose. advocates Of federal regulation

the legislation proposed. Some Of the
railway senators viii fight the bill
openly. More viii make a show of
championing regulation bills of their
own invention or viii appear to yield

emasculate 1t by amendment.
Every measure proposed will need
to be subjected to the most searching
scrutiny If the legislation finally en-
acted is to be Of any real effect.

Never Hesitates to Help Out His
Patrons.
Does Errands and Refuses to
g Leave" Them.

If Queen Elizabeth were alive today
Tom Hammond, Topeka street car con
ductor-motorneer of the California
limited. would have thrown down the
bright blue coat of his uniform upon
the dirty street crossing and permitted
the queen to board his car without
coming in contact with the mud and
incidentally beat out Sir Walter Ra-
leigh to the fame which has been his
for years. But since Tom Hammond IS
serving humber folk and has no grand
palaces lining his route on the Call
fornia avenue line his renown has SIM
Div. confined itself to the district which
lies between the city and the suburbs
of Highland PARK But WINE
stricted there is no evanescent quallty
about the character of the renown
watch is established among the sub
urbanites.
Winter and summer Hammond is in
service on his run between the city
and VineW0od park, except in the VIM
ter that his run is shortened and ends
at California avenue. In the summer
months Hammond acts asmOtorneef on
the large park cars and ia the WINTER
he is dignided by additional duties ana
serves as both conductor and motor
neer. AS conductor he signals the
mOtOrneer and as motoTneer he re-
spends. He collects the fares with one
hand and runs the car with another
But this is aside from the main
question. To his willing courtesy is
due the hold which he has upon the
affections Of his passe ngers. If there
is an aged person trying to board the
car. Hammond sets his brakes and
runs back to the rear of the car and
helps on the passenger. If you happen
to be half a block away and the car is
rushing along with prospects Of your
being left behind. rest assured that the
fear is unfounded for the car stops
and Hammond is presiding at the
brake urbanely. If a passenger wants
fere with Hammond's duty it is done
with cheerfulness that leaves pleasant
memories ia the mind Of the person
who makes the request.
