PUTS DOG IN BABY CLOTHES
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
ST. LOUIS, Feb 12.-When a woman
who lives on Francis street planned to
visit friends in Venice, ILL.,, a few days
ago, she was confronted by problem
as to what to do with her dog. The
bow-wow is small and she tried to
carry 1t with her into a street car, but
the conductor interfered and refused to
allow the woman and her pet to enter.
For a few moments 1t looked as If the
trip across the river would have to be
abandoned.
Then she recalled the ruse Of Louis4
vile, KY, dogs mistress. Returning
to the house she dressed Beauty In g
long white dress, a cap and wrapped
veil over the pups face. Thus
equipped Beauty was again carried to
car. This time, instead of being
turned away, the woman was treated
with the utmost courtesy. The conduc-
tor helped her to the platform and
man sprang from a seat to give the
bearer Of the baby chance to sit
down.
Then a solicitous woman began ask
ing kindly questions as to the age,
name and sex of the infant She was
told that 1t was a girl, 2 months old
and named Beauty. She was more
fortunate than the Kentucky girl.
Beauty refrained from barking and
was safely transported to Venice and
return disguised as an infant.

PIANISTE DISAPPEARS;

MRS. ZElSLER RETURNS AFTER
EIGHT HOURS ABSENCE

CHICAGO, Feb. 12.-For nearly eight
hours today Mrs. Fannie Bloomfield
Zeisler, the world famous pianiste, was
missing from her home and her friends
and relatives together with the police
were securing the south side of the
city for her. During the afternoon
Mrs. Zeisler returned to her home alone,
utterly exhausted. She declined to say
where she had been or what she had
been doing.
For some time Mrs. Zeisler has been
greatly troubled with her eyes, which
have failed steadily, and the fear OF
being compelled to abandon her music
al work had so preyed upon her mind
that she had become at times subject
to periods of melancholia
This morning she eluded her atten-
dants and left the house alone. She
was missed within a few minutes, and
her husband hurried after her. She
had disappeared however, and no trace
was found of her until she returned.
Mr.. Zeiser said tonight MRS.
Zeisler was very nervous when she
returned, being on the verge of col :
lapse. She would not talk about her
absence and when L asked where she
had been she would only say walking.
She was assisted to her room and i'm
rediately went to sleep. AS soon as
practicable she will be taken to a
sanitarium for rest and treatment"

REAPPOINTS FAY
To WATER BOARD
MAYOR RATIFlES PROMISE IN
DOING so
Appointee Personally Stood Respon-
slble for Advancing Money on
Options for Owens Vail
ley Scheme

John J. Fay, jr., was yesterday APP
pointed by Mayor McAleer TO succeed
himself as a member of the water COM
mission. His appointment was Inn
mediately confirmed by the city council.
Mr.. Fay now is president of the
water board, n position paying $4,000 a
year, one of the highest salaried posi-
tons i'm the City's service and ii is
looked upon as probable that he will
be elected by the water board to sue
coed himself as president Of that body.
The mayors appointment was made
in pursuance of "a promise which he
made to the water board at the time
of the projection of the owens river
scheme Mr. Fay, with superintendent
Mulholland and ex-Mayor Fred Eaton,
are looked upon as being chiefly re-
sponsible for the splan to bring the
Owens river water into Los Angeles.
TO Mr.. Fay is given much of the
credit for the success which the plan
has so far met
The water board advanced thousands
of dollars for the purpose of taking up
options i'm owens valley and it is de-
clared that Mr.. Fay stood personally
responsible for a large share of this
money.
When the board of public works is
named and confirmed that body will
take over the owens river project and
eXpend all money voted for the purpose.
For this reason the council was anxious
that Mr.. Fay be one of the mayors
nominees on the board.
1t was emphatically stated that Mr..
Fay would cover a multitude of sins
on the part of the other two members
of the board. But failing to secure
him on the board of works the council
was glad to accept him as member of
the water commission.

For Review by the Courts

Mr.. Lodge expressed the opinion that
there should be ample provision for re-
view of findings of the commission by
the courts He concluded:
There seem to be new prophets of a
new dispensation who wish to depart
from the line marked out by the presi-
dent in his message and accepted in the
house bill of last year by removing SO
far as possible from the law all proper
provision for review by the courts.
This seems to me to strike at the very
heart Of the measure. I am not yet
prepared to substitute for the court of
the United States an executive COM
mission. Legislation cannot prevent
an appeal to the courts If it is alleged
that the rate is confiscatory, but it is
very narrow ground and very limited
right A rate may not be absolutely
confiscatory and yet may be in the
highest degree unjust and unreasona-
bic, and indeed well nigh ruinous.
am not sure that it would be possible
to deprive a citizen of the exercise of
the right to appeal to the courts as to

Rebates a Great EVIL

rates the experience or Otner countries
demonstrates that whatever good eff
fects government rate making has had
II has not lowered rates, but on the
contrary has made them not only
higher but inelastic. Where, as i'm
Russia, rates are low, although not so
low as ours. the railroads are run at Il
loss and the loss is made good out of
the pockets of the taxpayers. In Eng
land, with maximum rates fixed by par
liamentary schedule and the prohibition
against raising rates, without the con-
sent of the railway commission courts.
the rates are higher than ours, inelas-
tic and do not decline in accordance
with the fall of prices, or indeed, in
any substantial degree.
The third and last point is that OF
discrimination between localities. That
Determinations exist under our system
which work injustice it would be folly
to deny. but it would be stlll greater
folly to establish a new series of dis
ordinations, working a larger injus
tice, in the hope of curing the original
inequalities. Whatever attempt to
remedy plain determinations we may
make we should so guard it as to avoid
applying a remedy far worse than the
disease The experience of the world
leads me to doubt most seriously
whether any government rate making,
with view to curing place discrimina-
lions, can be effected without bringing
a change for the worse but If it is to
be tried at all it ought not go beyond
the fixing of a maximum rate by the
commission with the most absolute pro-
lection against hasty or prejudiced
action through provision for an appeal
to the courts of the country. This GER
tainly is as far as we can safely CO."

Not Hostile to Other interests


Not Hostile to Other interests
Mr.. Lodge combatted the idea that
the railroads are owned by a few men
and that they are inimical to and indie
pendent of all other interests. He
said:
1--WE all want to see the settled and
established sections of the country
thrive, but to the railroads the well
being of such places is a matter of life
and death. A sudden and ill-considered
revolution in our methods OF railroad
management would bring on business
panic, reduce wages and probably carry
disaster to our trade and commerce in
a degree which it is impossible to esti-
mate
For these reasons, he argued, we
should proceed with the utmost eau
ton in railroad regulation, and con-
cluded:
eve should have proper legislation
in regard to the railroads; there should
be government supervision and reg
ulation; we should stop the intolerable
abuse of rebates or determinations be-
tween persons, because If we do not
we may find ourselves precipitated into
that worst of all disasters, government
ownership. But it is equally essential
that the legislation we undertake
should not itself lead to government
ownership the dangerous pitfall we
are seeking to avoid. 1t is vital that
this legislation should succeed, but it
can only succeed by being effective
against the evils which it can cure,
While it proceeds with the utmost care
in those directions where experience
has shown that some of the remedies
now proposed have introduced evils far
more unbearable and far more injurious
than those which it was sought to
remedy"
