two months, and some idea can
be formed as to how it will work.
There have not as yet been any
formal proceedings before the
Interstate Commerce Commls-
sion under the new law, but its
principal object-that Of doing
away with rebates and other
forms of discrimination between
shippers-has been fully ac-
complished by it's mere enact
ment. All of the recent indict-
ments and convictions for often
ses of this character have been
for acts committed prior to the
enactment of the new law and
have been under the Elkins
acts. Since the passage of the
Heburn law materially strength
.ening the Elkins act and i'm
posing heavier penalties on both
the givers and benefciaries of
rebates and determinations,
neither the Interstate Commerce
Commission, the Department of
Justice, nor the Bureau of Cor.
porations has been able to find
a single case in which a rebate
or other favor has been either
granted or solicited.
1t is realize d that the Inter
state Commerce Commission in
tends to inforce the Hepburn
law and that It will have the
support of public opinion in do
ing so, and the railroads are
showing a disposition to comply
with all of it's provisions as fast
as they are interpreted by the
Commission. The leading roads
have shown a willingness to CO.
operate with the Commission in
every way and the Commission
has encouraged this attitude
and is considering the sugges-
tions of the experts Of the roads
as to rulings involving technical
matters. An example Of this is
the decision of the commission
to appoint a committee experts
to confer with expert traffic men
designated by the roads as to
the regulations to be made gov
erning the fling and posting of
schedules of rates. 1t is impor-
tant that these regulations shall
require the schedules to be in
such form that they can be un-
derstood by a man of ordinary
intelligence and the advice of
these experts. while it will not
govern the action of the Com
missioners will enable them to
proceed with more intelligence
and to devise regulations that
will accomplish the object of the
law which is to enable any ship
per or passenger to ascertain
any rate for himself. On the
whole, the new law is being put
into effect with very little fric-
ton or disturbance Of business
and the present indications are
that if the rulings Of the Com
mission are made so as to allow
the fullest measure of CONNER
cial liberty consistent with the
protection of the rights Of all
shippers and passengers the
Hepburn law will prove a highly
satisfactory solution Of the prob.
lem of governmental regulation
of transportation.

IS ELECTR0CU1ED
IN HER BATHTUB
Mrs. K. Blackeslee, Winnipeg
Woman, Meets q Violent
Death.
ELECTRIC LIGHT WIRE THE CAUSE

Special to The Evening Times.
Winnipeg, Aug. 14.-Mrs. Kitty
Blackeslee was electrocuted yesterday
afternoon in the bath room of her
home at PA Vaughan street. The acci-
dent happened in a most peculiar man
ner. She started to take bath short
ly after o'clock, and half an hour
later, not having reappeared, friends
In the house called to her. No reply
She was found lying on her back in
the bath tub, which contained about
two inches of water, and she was ap-
parently dead. DR.. Lehman of the
Steele block, was called and pro-
nounced her beyond human aid.
The cause of death was only too
manifest. A large scar on her right
hip and broken electric light wire
pointed plainly to electrocution. She
had evidently started to step into the
tub, and her foot had slipped. Throw
ing out her hand instinctively, she had
grabbed the lamp socket, which was
out of order. This threw the full cur
rent of 40 volts through her body, the
circuit being completed by contact
with the metal Of the tub. The shock
ha dthrown her, and in falling the
wire had been dragged from it's fast
enings. With current of that volt
age passing through her body it would
be impossible to loosen her grasp, and
probably rendered partially uncon-
scious by the first shock. she had been
unable to let anyone know Of her con-
dition.
DR.. Inglis was notified of the acct
dent. and after looking over the stu
alton allowed the body to be removed
to the undertaking establishment Of
Kerr, Bawly & McNamee. It is prob
able that an inquest will be held.
Mrs. Blakeslee came to Winnipeg on
the first of August last, from New
Haven, Conn.,. with friend, Mrs. N.

'CANADA'S FOREIGN
TRADE INCREASING
GRAND AGGREGATE FOR PAST YEAR REACHED EN-
oRMoUs SUM OF s55o854246, A GAIN OF s311 $685.
1856 COMPARED WITH 1896 AND AN ADVANCE OF
$s07O3957 OVER THE PRECEDING YEAR.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Ottawa, Aug. 14.-The grand aggre-
gate of Canada's foreign trade for the
last fiscal year reached the enormous
sum of $3.50, 854,246, a gain of $31l $685.
$50 as compared with 1896 and of $780,
7O3,957 as compared with the previous
respectively.
Taking the trade by countries the
total imports from Great Britain
amounted to SIS, 29S,751 as against
$60,538,811 for the year ending June
80, 1905. OF this amount the dutiable
goods amounted to $52.748,623. gain
of $7,334,814 over the preceding year
The imports free of duty totalled &c.
550,135, an improvement of $1,4S5.12
compared with 1904-5. The exports to
Britain of Canadian merchandise were
1927 ,456,471, while for the preceding
year they amounted to $97,114,S67.
A Striking Feature.
The striking feature of the trade le-
turns is the very substantial improve
ment in the commercial dealings be-
tween Great Britain and Canada. 1t
will be noticed that the increase in
Canada's trade over The previous year
amounts to about ssC,OO00 900, which
sum the British trade contributes in
round figures $4O0OO000. Comparing
last years imports for consumption
from Britain, amounting to $69.176,1S9.
with those for 1897. when the PREFER
ence was inaugurated, totalling $685.

been an improvement of no less than

amount of imports for consumption
from Britain was nearly $9.000.000.

Galveston, Aug. 13.-William Won
Hodge, of Galveston, who has been al
most convinced that he is the long
lost Charlie Ross, who was kidnapped
from his home in Germantown, Pa,
in 1874, and whose father spent his
fortune in a search for him lasting for
years, gave today an account Of as
much Of his life as he remembers.
While trying to establish the identity
of his parents several years ago he
was confronted with the Crarles Ross
theory. He does not say positively
he is Ross, but he has been told the
family resemblance is marked and the
story of his childhood might easily be
that of the kidnapped boy.
Won Hodge says he has traced his
life back to his being placed in an
orphan asylum in New Orleans in July,
1874 by woman who knew she was
not his mother, although she entered
him as her child and presented her.

1t will be observed that there is a
great disparity between the imports of
free goods from Britain compared
with those from the United tSates. The
fact is, Canada has 10 import from the
United States large quantities of raw
materials for manufacturing which
cannot be obtained from the mother
country.
The exports of Canadian merchan-
disc to the United States last year
amounted to $S3,546, 4O6, total for pre-

Has Played Havoc.
The surtaX on German goods has
played havoc with imports from that
country. Three years ago the value
of imports for consumption from Ger
many amounted to $12,2S2,637, whereas
last year they dropped to a,little over
100000. Canada's imports from
France last year were $7,69S,O5O. a
gain of about 100000.
Canada exported to France Canadian
