RAILROADS REDUCE RATES.
New Law Lessons Charge On Inter
~ state Business.

washington, D. c., Nov. 26-The new
railroad rate law, passed at the last
session of congress, has had whole
some effect in the direction Of reduce
ing charges for the transportation Of
commodities in interstate commerce.
SINCE the new law became effective
on August 20 schedules to the number
of 13s,00e. both passenger and freight,
have been filed with the interstate
commemse commission. OF the total,
$1,000 schedules relate to freight traffic,
embracing hundreds of thousands of
single rates. 1t was said authoritative
~ that SO per cent and probably SIS per
cent OF rates made since August %
were reductions of previous charges.
In nearly every instance where ap.
plicatSon has been made for permission
to change a rate on less than thirty
days notice, a desire to reduce freight
charges prompted the railroads to
make such application.
Early next month the commission
will begin hearings on complaints Of
shippers which involve allegations of
unjust charges and determinations
against individuals or communities.
The commission up to this time has
been engaged largely in the work of

Deafness Cannot Be Cured,

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness and that is by constitutional
remedies Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition. of the mucous lining
of the Eustachfan Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you nave a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out Of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition Of
the mucous surfaces.

CHILD SLAVES IN NEBRASKA.
State Official says Children Are Sold
at $25 Per Head.


Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 26-Child slavery
is being practiced in Nebraska, accord
ing to the statements of Miss Cora
CARRIER one Of the employees in the
state land commissioners office. Proof
has been obtained, she asserts, that one
private institution in the state has
been importing children in the state
been importing children from Germany
for the purpose of selling them at $25
per head.
"a bill is to be introduced at the next
legislature, says Miss CARRIER, which
will place every child in the state UNI
der the protection of the juvenile court
law. At present the law is so worded
that the courts have no right to enter
private institutions to inquire into the
condition of children.
This provision, Miss CARRIER says,
was slipped into the law by the mana
gers Of these institutions in order to
exempt them from legal investigation
and for this reason the juvenile court
law is unconstitutional.
Miss CARRIER refused to give the name
either of her informants or Of the sus-
pected institutions, but said that all
would be made public in due time and,
that the work of the 'venders in little
human beings" would be summarily
stopped and the guilty persons punish

preparing rules and regularities in an
effort to educate shippers and carriers
alike as to the meaning of the various
provisions of the law, or what Will be
expected of them under the law.
From present indications 1t probab-
ly will be several months before the
rate law is put to a test by judicial
procedure in the courts and the coun-
try really knows whether the commits
sion, under the federal constitution, can
exercise rate making power.
The commission has been accused OF
proceeding with view to putting de-
cision on this issue, but under an order
just made 1t Will begin hearings soon
in a case involving this mooted cues
ton. This is a complaint by the Texas
Cattle Raisers' Association against
nearly every railroad in the west in
which il is charged that excessive rates
are exacted in the transportation OF
stock from ranges to northern ieea-
ing grounds, and from feeding grounds
to packing centers.
Rates in this case were subjected to
review by the commission year OF
so ago. and a decision handed down
that the rates complained of were UNI
just and unreasonable. The case was
reopened under the new law, which
gives the commission powers 1t did not
possess under the old law.
II Is asserted by men here who know
that, If the case goes against the rail-
roads, il will result in sending to the
United States supreme court the ques-
ton as to whether congress has power
to confer upon governmental body
authority to determine what are just
and reasonable rates.
Great progress has been made by
Professor Harry c. Adams, statistician
of the commission. in the work of de-
vising a system of uniform bookkeep-
ing. blank forms. classification of ac-
counts, methods of making reports,
etc, as is required Of railroads under
the law. He has sought the advice of
railroad accountants in this matter.
Indications are that an accounting sys-
tenn will be evolved satisfactory to
both government and carriers.

END OF UNIQUE HONEYMOON
Loving Pair and Pony Only First
Cabin PassenRers on q Liner.


Cabin Passengers on Liner.
At the service of Mr.. and Mrs. Jo-
seph A. Gibbons, who recently arrived
ut New York on La Gascogne. were
twenty stewards, three stewardesses,
one deck steward, one chef, four assist
ant chefs, two pastry cooks, four help
ers, the purser, the chief steward and
the ships officers.
Surrounded by the obsequious ships
company and only occupants Of the
first cabin of La Gascogne, Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph A. Gibbons had the prone
made deck all to themselves when the
big ship reached port from Havre, says
the New York World.
When the young couple stepped on
the pier they concluded honeymoon
trip that began under romantic cir
cumstances. The bride was Miss Leila
M. Brown, an heiress Of Wallingford.
Pa. The bridegroom is the son OF
George W. Gibbons, treasurer Of a big
printing firm In Philadelphia. Last
winter the young woman was taken
abroad by her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
William NJ. Brown. In Paris they stop
ped at hotel where Count Max Bloch
was also guest. During the six weeks
she was there the count was most at
tentive to Miss Brown.
The count sprained his ankle one
evening In Paris. and the young woman
was very sympathetic. 1t is said that
at the request Of her father Miss
Brown became engaged to the count
She came home in April with the I'M
derstanding that she would return to
Paris and become the Countess Bloch.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brown arranged to sail
with their daughter on La Savoie for
Havre on Aug. 20.
In despair at having to marry man
she didn't love, Miss Brown wrote to
young Gibbons, with whom she was
really in love. She told him that un-
less he married her at once she would
go to France, marry the count and per-
haps never return. Mr.. Gibbons lost
no time In procuring license. and
they were married at St James Cath
ole church, Philadelphia. Subsequent
ly there was scene In the brides
home, but the pair were finally forgiv-
en-. Mr.. and Mrs Brown, their daugh-
ter and son-in-law sailed on La Sayole.
The Browns have an estate not far
from Paris. Among their horses was
a bay mare named Marthe that had
been Miss Browns pet. The young
couple decided that Marthe would be
their only companion on their honey
moon, so, the mare harnessed to
demi -tonneau, they toured France and
Switzerland. On the trip they decided
to bring Marthe to America. They ar
rived ut Havre on Aug and found
that the only ship on which they could
take Marthe as FIRST cabin passen-
GER and have her near them was La
Gascogne They could have sent Mar
the by another line, but that would
have meant a separation.

one ounce, Compound Syrup Sarsapa-
rilla three ounces. Shake well and use
in teaspoonful doses after each meal
and at bedtime.
A well known local druggist who is
familiar with this prescription states
that 1T is harmless, being composed
entirely Of vegetable ingredients which
can be obtained from any good pre-

For many years Sarsaparilla alone
has been considered a good blood
medicine. But while it built up and
made new blood, the Impurities re-

| We'll Contested Race of One Boy
Power Vehicles In Flushing.
The pushmobile race in Flushing, N.
Y, the other morning was greater
success than the promoters Of the
event anticipated, says the New York
Herald. The fact that William K.
| Vanderbilt, Jr., had encouraged the
contest by a substantial contribution
toward silver cup offered added zeal
to the contestants and also was re-
sponsible for much of the crowd which
assembled at the course before z
o'clock in the morning.
Fourteen contestants took part in the
race The course was four and half
miles, being ten laps around the square
bounded by Murray, Amity and Bo-
tanic streets and Broadway. The start
was made at Murray street and Broad
way at seventeen minutes past Z
o'clock. 1t was we'll done, all the boys
getting OF in good shape and being
loudly cheered by the spectators. Paul
Baumeister and M. Boyajian were the
judges.

some dropped out because Of 'trou-

Protest was entered against award
ing the cup to the winning car on the
ground that the rule of the race that
the two drivers should not change
more than once had been violated by
Brown and Lawrence, who were ac-
cused of changing once every lap. The
judges decided, however, that as the
boys had made such good time they
should have the prize, and it was given
them accordingly. No accidents hap

SOME TROUBLE SECURING JURY
States Attorneys Particular as to
Who Serves in the Hearing of I'm
portant suit-Many of Those Called
Prejudiced Against All Insurance
Officials.

New York, Nov. Ex-senator Thorn
as c. Platt, Lou Payne, ex-state super
intendent of insurance. and Edward
Lauterbach may be called as Witness
es in the trial of George Burnham, Jr.,
the indicted attorney for the Mutual
Reserve Life Insurance Company,
which began here yesterday. There
are five indictments against Burnham
for larceny and forgery, but yesterday
for the first time the names of Senator
Platt and Messrs Payne and LATTER
bach were brought into this particular
case.
Every talesman examined was asked
if he knew these men. No one in the
district attorneys office would explain
the significance of this, but it was said
that they might be called as witnesses
and that their testimony might be OF
great Importance, but that it all de7
pended on the kind of swing the trial
took.
When yesterdays session was ad'
journed, after eight Jurors had been
obtained, Assistant District Attorney
Mott moved that Burnham be commit
ted to the Tombs. This was vigorous
ly opposed by William Rand, Jr., who
used to be Mr.. Jerome's chief of staff.
He said it wasn't the custom to COM
nit a defendant to the Tomhs. JUS
tice Greenbaum finally accepted the
Mutual Reserve attorneys guarantee
that Burnham would appear for trial.
Burnfam came into court with his
brother, Frederick A. Burnham, presi-
dent of the company, and George d.
Eldridge vice president. They all sat
at table with Mr.. Rand, Mr.. Tying,
and Frank r. Lawrence. A number of
their retainers were grouped around.
1t was the most imposing "bunch" seen
in criminal trial in some time as
both the Burnhams have nice, closely
cropped side whiskers.
Every precaution has been taken to
protect the interests of the defendants.
Long typewriter lists had been made
Of the tales1men oni the special panel,
and opposite each name was the his
tory Of the individual. Whenever a
name was called the list would be con-
suited and there would be widespread
conferences between the Burnhams,
Eldridge and Attorney Rand. Some
times Rand challenged a talesman
without asking him a question.
Many Of the talesmen had prejudices
against life insurance companies and
their officers. One man said he was
sick of the whole thing-sick of read
ing of life insurance in the newspapers
and of hearing people talk of it. Mr..
Rand wanted to know II the talesman
the criticism of the life in
surance officials and he said he did.
Justice Greenbaum sat until 5
o'clock, when eight jurors had been
drawn. They are Henry H. Alger, civil
engineer; Henry e. Sprague, merchant;
Leonard D. White, banker; E. Brainard
Buckley, secretary; Adolph F. Legost,
bank teller; Howard A. Raymond, real
estate; Isidor Levy, commission mer-
chant, and Ellwood Hendrick, broker
Some of the jurors are policy holders
in different life insurance companies.
