COMMISSION TO APPEAL.
Will Not Take Judge Brents' Decision
as Final.

OLYMPIA, Dec. 13.-The railway
commission will stand on it's demurrer
in the railroad appeal from the COM
missions order against further increase
of rates, which demurrer Judge Brents
of the Walla Walla superior court
overruled recently, and will appeal to
the supreme court for an early adjudi-
cation of the case. Chairman FAIR
child of the commission consulted with
Attorney General Atkinson this morn
ing and after reaching seuch a deci-
sion Mr.. Atkinson wired Assistant At
torney General E. c. Macdonald to pro-
coed along that line. The state under
stands Judge Brents' ruling to affect
only hat part of the railway commits
sioner's order that accompanied it's
maximum distance tariff order in which
the railroads were enjoined against
raising any rates now in existence or
changing any classification that would
result in increasing the rates without
the consent of the railway commission.
In this connection it is pointed out
by the commission that press report ac-
counts of Judge Brents' decision
for some reason misquOted the commits
sion's order as directing that no rates
could be changed without the commits
sion's consent. The other does not
prohibit the changing of any rate SO
long as it is not increased.

SAILORS TRY TO SAVE DOG.
Driven Back by Waves, Crew Had to
Abandon Collie.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. 13.-An
interesting story of an attempt to res
cue a collie dog from the wreck of
an abandoned schooner at sea was
brought to this port today by Capt.
Boss Of the German tank steamship,
PennOll, which arrived at Point
Breeze from Dover, England.
The dog was the mascot of the
schooner Marion c., formerly the Orion,
which was wrecked in a storm, while
bound from New York to Halifax with
5000 feet of lumber. The crew of the
schooner were picked up in lifeboats
by the Norwegian steamship Farman,
which landed them safely at Halifax.
This is the third time that the dog
has been seen board the abandoned
schooner. Each ship that reported the
discovery mad unsuccessful attempts
to rescue the animal.
Capt. Boss sighted the wreck and
the dog when about 200 miles off the
Massachusetts coast. A fierce storm
was raging, but Capt. Boss ordered a
boat lowered to rescue the animal. The
sailors were unable to combat against
the high seas and finding it impossi-
BILE to get within any distance of the
wreck they returned exhausted. They
reported, however, that they had seen
ample provisions scattered about on
the deck of the schooner and they be-
lieved the dog would live until the
wreck was Dicked In.

tion a yet been taken by the school
authorities. One of the principal rea-
sons why the adoption of he can and
gown is desired for the commence.
ment exercises is That it would elimi-
nate a great deal of expense connected
with the purchase of the clothing for
the exercises.
Principal Cloyd of the high school
thinks that the adoption of cap and
gown would be a wise move for the
high school pupils.
"A number OF pupils are forced to
expend sums of money for graduating
clothing beyond their MEANS" stated
Mr.. Cloyd, land if the cap and gown
were worn at commencement, this
would be unnecessary. I consider the
proposition to be an economical one.-
John F. Harris, a prominent member
OF the board of education, expressed
approval of the plan.
II think the cap and gown at high
school commencement exercises will
be adopted" stated Mr.. Harris. ut
Is the proper thing. It might meet
with some question as it did in a num-
Der of colleges when first proposed, but
when once tried it would undoubtedly
meet with approval. 1t would greatly
cut down the students expenses and
this alone is sufficient reason for its
adoption. 1t is now too late for the
system to be inaugurated in time to
benefit the class graduating in jan
uary, but 1 hope it will be in force In
time for the June class"

KILLED BY PLAYING HANGING.
Boy Slipped Moose About His Head
and Jumped from Table.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. 13.-
211 West Indiana venue Charles
Smith, an 11-year-old boy, slipped a
moose about his neck, after having first
attached an end to the ceiling. He
then jumped from the top of a table
on which he was standing. When his
mother was brought to the cellar a few
minutes later attracted by the calls
of her youngest son, the child was
dead.
The boy had been told not to leave
the house on cou Of the bad
He called to several boys who
were passing, but none of them would
come in to play with him. Then he got
his younger brother, Raymond to go
to the cellar with him.
Charles got a rope from the kitchen
the cellar, reached up and fastened
n end to a rafter. Then making a
moose he placed it over his head and
threw himself from the table. His lit
tie brother watched his dying strug-
giles in glee, thinking that Charles
was only making the scene realistic.
Later when his brothers movements
were stilled, and he would not answer
the child became frightened and called
his mother. She cut down her sons
body and summoned a physician in
the hope that he might still be alive.
When he arrived the doctors said the
boy had been dead several minutes.

That He Was Only Dreaming.

CHICAGO, Dec. 13.-Somnambulism
is given by DR.. John Alexander Dowie

erence to a request hat he explain
himself to his people. At the meet
ing on Sunday the aged prophet an
nounced that he was Jerry a great
warrior, and with an army at his back
would win great battles for Zion. .

him encyclopedias and from each he
