II existing law merely prohibits a
special device for obtaining discrim-
nation, and permits the same result
to be accomplished in a different way,
then the legislation is to that extent
a sham.
This investigation has shown very
clearly one glaring defect in the in,
terstate commerce law. viz.:the meth
cd of fling and publishing tariffs.
Although a traiff or rate has been
filed with the commission in compli-
ance with the terms of the law, none
but the favored shipper may know of
its existence. Tariffs may be made
and rates may be combined in such
manner as to make it practically i'm
possible for the ordinary shipper to
find them. AS long as the state rates
are not required TO be made pubic,
the shippers use such rates in com
bination with interstate rates. all
manner Of devices 10 evade the pur-
pose of the law are possible. All state
rates used in connection with inter,
state shipments should be filed VITA
the interstate commerce commission.
and a radical change should be made
in the direction OF simplifying tariffs
and in methods of posting and fling

WHITE GAINS IN POWER
Hated but Supported by the Gear and
:. Grand Dukes.

BY Publishers Press.
st. Petersburg, Jan. 2o.--tsThere has
been an important change in the rela-
tions between Premier Witte and the
car and the grand Dukes" said Rus
sian general residing at the court of
Tsarskoe-Selo.
".While his majesty and the grand
dukes continue to hate Count Witte per-
sonally, politically the Romanoffs re-
gard him as the savior Of the dynasty
and hence as a necessary evil. The
grand dukes and the nobility in general
support Count Witte because he has
promised to safeguard their interests
and to alter the agrarian and fiscal re-
forms to suit the landed nobility and
they control more votes than all the
other classes combined. Having thus
won over the nobility, who were his
bitterest enemies formerly, he is likely
to remain in office while the present
regime lasts
It is believed that workmen en-
ployed in the government works are
being shot after brief trials by court
martial, in order to make room for more
prisoners in the prisons, which are now
crowded to overfowing
It is reported that the victims
selected for slaughter are led out, three
at time, and executed before the eyes
of their comrades who are awaiting
their turn to face the soldiers. As soor
as one batch: has been dispatched three
other prisoners are lined up in the same
spot and shot. Firing has been heare
at the scenes of execution, continuing
without cessation. The corpses are al
loved to pile up without being removed
as the successive patches of prisoner
are killed.

Washington, Jan. 220.-If the re-
ports eof politicians who come s.. into
Washington from various states have
any foundation, the senate is rushing
toward an epoch-making overturn in
its history. :..5 ILL.,; T. ..*
Nearly every senator who has been
ten years in congress seems to have
been picked out by an insurgent ele-
ment Of his own state for defeat. If

The idea underlying these forebod-
ings Of disaster for so many men now
securely seated in the upper house is
that the American people started out
last November to: have new deal in
politics. They overturned things right
and left. The senate is SO constituted
with it's long terms and it's elections
much in advance of the beginning of
service, that, the November explosions
| had no real effect. To revolutionize
that body requires skillful Gprying from
beneath and for long time, but this
process, it is asserted, has begun.
For example, the partisans Of La
Toilette say that ,Spooner, of whom
Wisconsin is deservedly proud, canno
come back again. Some persons from
Rhode Island are rash enough eaelain
that they can see the end ofo:Aldfich

Chicago, Jan. 20.-Twenty-four wo-

by the books in the coroner's office.
The police records at the city hall show
that hundreds of other women have
been attacked, beaten and treated in
as brutal manner as in the cases that
resulted fatally. Chance, not mercy on
the part of their assailants, saved their
lives. u ;
The boldness Of the criminals, most

MER|WETHER CASE is
PUZZLE TO THE Il. NAVY
# MILDLY Is Dismissed for Hazing,
How Cam He Serve Other
Sentence? E..s.>

Washington, Jan. 20.-Minor Meri-
wether, Jr., midshipman, second class,
Is causing some anxious moments to
the legal authority of the navy de-
partment Meriwether engaged in his,
historic fight with James R. Branch, Jr.,
Nov. 5, last, as cause of which Branch
died two days later in the sick quarters
at the academy. Tried by general court
martial, Meriwether was found not gull
ty Of manslaughter, but was convicted
Of engaging in fist fight. The SEN
tence imposed was a years confinement
within. the limits of the academy.
Meriwether was serving this. sentence
when hauled before the hazers' court
now sitting in Annapolis, and charged
with hazing previous to the Branch
fight. There seems little doubt that he
I has been convicted. The dilemma pre-
sents these two horns:
First-A conviction Of hazing, ipse
facto, operates under the law to cause
a midshipman $ dismissal.
Second-If Meriwether is dismissed
from the academy for hazing, what will
become Of his conviction and sentence
for fghtinge
If the sentence Of dismissal for haz-
ing were so framed as to become effect
i've at the expiration Of the confinement
for q year, which would be next Deem
Der, MeriWether could hardly be ex-
pected to observe the disciplinary rules,
the violation Of which, by one mid ship.
B man, is most demoralizing to the dis
cipline Of the brigade.
With no hope of getting thru the
academy, the boy doubtless takes little
interest in his studies, and would find
+ the irksomeness Of confne1nen to the
academic limits a CALLING burden when
unrelieved by hope of future reward by
o career in the service.
