STlCKNEY AGGRESSIVE
Vigorously Protests Against Any Fur
ther Continuance in U. P. Elevator
Rebate Case Before Interstate Com
merce ommission-Hearing is Be-
o.,n

Chicago, Sept 17.-The members Of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
today reopened the old Peavey Eleva-
tor case, after listening to a long dis
pute between lawyers representing the
parties to the suit, relative to a sup
posed agreement for continuance.
The dispute ended abruptly after
President Stickney of the Chicago
Great Western, declared he most Wig
orously protested against further de-
lay of the hearing.
Stickney is one of the petitioners for
the reopening of the case which in
wolves the Union Pacific Railroad Co,
the Peavey Elevator Company, and the
Trans Mississippi Elevator Company.
One Of the chief allegations in the case
is that the railroad company granted
rebates to the Peavey Elevator Com
pany, and gave it monopoly on the
grain business along that railroad. Be
side the Chicago Great Western, the
petitioners are the Burlington and the
Santa Fe railroads. The rebating is
said to have been done at Omaha and
Kansas City.
Commissions New Rules.
Chairman Knapp today made public
the rules of the commission, as determ-
ined upon by the commission in secret
session Saturday. These rules, which
will have a great effect upon the adj
ministration of the new law, may be
summed up briefly as follows:
Nothing but money can be received
in payment for transportation. This ls
aimed at newspaper and periodical ad-
vertising. the bulk of which is paid for
in transportation.
Where two or more connecting
roads unite in establishing thru rate
such action will be regarded as
change in rate and will require thirty
days notice TO the commission.
Where new road is opened and Sc
cures thru rate with another line
such a rate will be deemed a new one
and will require no notice.
General Communication, mileage and
excursion rates cannot be changed
without thirty days notice. except that
excursion rates good for three days will
require only one days notice, and rates
good for more than three and not more
than thirty days will require three
days notice."

When the heart stops the circulation
ceases, the capillaries of the lungs be-
come gorged with stagnant blood, while
the blood in the brain no longer carries
away the waste products and brings
the oxygenated fluid to restore the It's
sues. AS the blood takes about half a
minute to circulate through the whole
system, it may be taken that at the end
of this period after the stoppage Of the
heart the arteries would be filled by the
last effort of the left ventricle, while
the veins would be pouring their con-
tents into the right auricle. In a few
seconds more the nervous centers
would cease to act, and probably by
the end of the minute the subject
would be practically dead from suffo-
cation, although reflex muscular action
would probably keep up the appearance
