Commission After Shippers
Who Practice False Billing

Washington, Nov. 21.-The inter-
state commerce commission fis vir-
tualIy sitting up nights in an effort
to catch in the act shippers who are
alleged to be guilty of false billing or
misdescription of their goods. Com
plant is made that the evil Of false
billing is spreading rapidly, but in
spite of the vigilance of agents of the
commission it has been found impos-
sible to procure evidence which would
stand the test of judicial procedure.
The trouble Is principally that the
railroads refuse to report shippers who
are detected In misdescribing commo-
dities offered for transportation in in
terstate commerce and content them
selves with correcting the billing and
collecting proper charges. rather than
put themselves to the inconvenience
of getting legal proof Of criminal mis-
conduct
Al member of the commission des-
|cribed today the practices of shippers
who are alleged to make practice Of
Iunderbilling or misdescribing pack
age shipments. He said that. for ex-
ample, iron and steel in bulk are car-
ried at certain commodity rate. but
that these products, when made into
fine cutlery, were transported at high
er rates. The same rule pertains in
shipments of ordinary crockery and
fine chinaware. Shippers of the
goods enumerated had a habit Of bill

china as crockery, thus securing the

There are certain nations that have
the quality of vulgarity strongly in the
blood, and indeed it seems to testify
to a strong and full blooded vitality. q
desire for self assertion, and thus we
may expect to find vulgarity logging
like shadow the footsteps Of strong
capable and pushing nationalities. But
there are certain nations that have
been accused Of many faults that yet
have never been accused of being vul-
gar. The Irish are q case in point.
They have been accused of levity, Of
undue conviviality, Of frivolity, Of a
tendency to romance, Of untrustworthi-
ness, of irresponsibility, but they have
never been accused Of vulgarity. There
lies deep in the Celtic temperament q
rich vein Of emotion, strong relish for
the melancholy side Of life. 1t is on this
that their Incompatible sense Of humor
is based, and it may be said that no
one who feels at home with melancholy,
who luxuriates in the strange contrast
between the possibilities and the per-
formances of humanity, is in any dan
ger Of vulgarity. for one Of the essen
tial components Of vulgarity Is a COM
placent self satisfaction, and If man
is apt to dwell regretfully on what
might have been rather than cheerfully
upon what is there is but little room for

MURPHY MEANS.

HEARST
In Spite of Fact That Muir
ply Used Hearst Forces
During Campaign.

New York, Sept. GA committee,
which includes Representative Tim
othy D. Sullivan and Borough Presi-
dent Ahearn, will call on Charles F.
Murphy, at Tammany Hall to-mor-
row afternoon at 1 o'clock, and on
Senator McCarren at IL o'clock. in
the interest of the candidacy of Rep
Tesentative William Sulzer for COVER
nor The committee will pres ent to
Messrs Murphy and McCarren the
following letter:
Dear Sir-The undersigned have
been appointed committee to con
fer with the leaders of the Demo
cratic party in this city and state on
behalf of William Sulzer for COVER
nor. We respectfully urge that you
do not commit your following to the
support of Mr.. Hearst, and that you
preserve, as far as you can, the right
Of free choice by the delegates to the
Buffalo convention"
Congressman Sullivan, who plans
to go to the state senate, wanuts to
know few things, and he wants his
esteemed colleague, William Il.
Hearst, to answer. This is one of the
things he wants to know:
IF my friends in the Tammany
delegation support you for governor
in the Democratic State Convention,
will you support me for State Sena-
tori"
William r. Hearst, in his last ref
erence to Representative Sullivan,
called him the lord high protector
of crooks and criminals" and intimat-
ed clearly that his first business,
when an opportunity offered would
be to drive Sullivan and McCarren
out Of politics. Big Tim, his friends
said tonight, believes that If he and
his followers should decide to stay
out of the Tammany caucus and fight
the nomination of Hearst, he would
be able, in case he prevents the
nomination of Hearst, and in case
the regular Democratic ticket runs
third in the race on Nov. 6, to pre-
vail upon the Republican leaders to
amend the Election Law, dividing the
Democratic election patronage equal
ly between the parties which run
second and third in the race Such
an amendment would tend to pre-
vent Hearst from appropriating all of
the election patronage of the demon
allied Democratic machine.

United States and
The Cuban Trouble.

1t is beginning to look as though
the United States would eventually
become mixed up In the Cuban
trouble, in fact, from the way the
administration. is acting, It would
seem that it is the intention Of the
powers that be to take a hand and
pacify the island, probably with a
view to benevolent assimilation at no
very distant day.
All efforts to get the contending
factions together have failed, neither
side being willing to concede the
main point of contention which APP
pears to be the result of the last cleo
ton. The government, represented
by President Palma, positively re-
fuses to annual the election, and call
another, and without such annulment
the insurrectionists say they will con-
tinue the fight indefinitely.
Neither side being able to agree
upon a basis of sentiment 1t would
seem that the time is ripe for this
country to step in and, by securing
a majority vote of disseminated
people, get their consent to the an
nexation OF the island to the United
States. Whether or not such pro
cedure would result in continual war.
fare, or war until the opponents OF
government by the United States
were killed off, is a question that
only time can settle, should the peo
pie vote for annexation.
The people of Cuba are dissatis
fed with the government and are ripe
for anything that may promise a
change, and it certainly appears as
though the government of the United
States is willing to reach out and
gather the island in if the least op
portunity is presented.
Incidentally, it is strange that the
administration should exert itself sc
greatly in behalf of the Cuban rebels
when it refused to take any cOgni
zance of the trouble of the American
residents upon the Isle of Pines.

Scotland doesn't furnish a great many

it's most enthusiastic promoters could

Coming Thro' the Rye"
Last nights offering at the Theatre
was somewhat unusual in one re-
spect, at least, inasmuch as the per-
Torrance was fully up to the promise
held forth by the advance press no
tees.
The honors of the evening, on the
ladies' side, were borne away by
Miss Stella Mayhem, as Mrs. Kobb, a
mOdernized Mrs. Mealaprop; and on
the other side of the house by Frank
Lalor and Frank Doane.
Mr.. Lalor has a very quiet, but
highly effective method of his own,
and his peculiar way of getting at a
laugh was shown to perfection when
as Mott" the tailor, he sang 1T
Must Be Love-" and Clancy" both
of which were time and again en-
cored.
Mr.. Doane gave a very amusing in
depreciation of Lord Batter's bee"
and at no point was the long cast
ether than satisfactory.
The dialogue of this "song play"
is bright and amusing, and the music
Is tuneful and catching.
The piece-which Is in two acts
was carefully mounted and the per-
Torrance was clearly one that gave
undiluted satisfaction to the large
and appreciative audience present.
