HuNTINe PRoUTY,s SCAR.
New England senators Opposed TO His
disappointment.

washington, March 22.-C- A
Prouty. a member OF the interstate
commerce commission. it is said, is
marked for official slaughter
The New England senators nave
banded together to prevent ar
Prouty from being commissioner
under the proposed rate-hxlng law,
and although Mr.. Prouty viii nave the
hearty support of the president II
looks now as though he could not be
saved from the senators who seek
his scalp.
Commissioner Prouty is the most
radical member Of the commission on
the subject of railroad legislation. He
was pioneer in advocating federaI
control of rates and has done more to
instruct the public IN regard to the
merits of the case than any other man
He has delivered lectures and speeches
on the subject all over the country
and has worked early and late to fur
Their the propaganda
Mr. Prouty comes from the most
conservative part of the country, par
ticularly when the question Of rate
regulation is concerned. Boston is
the central stronghold Of the pro-rail-
road sentiment The residents of New
England are disturbed at the thought
of what might happen 10 them with
the government in control of railroad
rates. They fear that the rates viii
be put on the mileage basis. and that
ton from the great distributing CEN
ters of the country, VIII be discrimi-
mated against. Consequently the big
men Of that section are somewhat IN
easy. The New England senator's,
headed by Messrs. Lodge and Crane,
have decided to keep Mr.. Prouty of
the new commission. A scheme is
pending to accomplish this by pro-
viding that not more than one COM
missioner shall come from the same
judicial district
Chairman Knapp reside in the same
judicial district and this arrangement
would bar out the former
The president was anxious to defeat
this maneuver by having Mr.. Prouty
change his legal residence. If this is
done, the New England senators will
prevent Mr.. Prouty's confirmation in
the senate

the attendants and was restrained with
difficulty from biting the physicians
and nurses. The first impression was
that he was suffering from hydropho-

that the boy was dreaming when sud
denly awakened. and is suffering from
shock His life was despaired Of until
an early hour this morning, when he
rallied, but his condition remains
serious. Young Smiths parens reside

gifted and OF artistic tendencies. AL
thouzh the NeitZels were agricultul lists,
music was in the family and had been
for generations. The wild waltz utilized
by Weber in Der Freischutz" was
known ard sung by the Neitzels and
their neighbors for centuries before T.
