VICTORY FOR RAILROADS.
Supreme Court Reversss Interstate Com.
meroe Commission.


meroe Commission.
Washington, Feb. 26. The famous
citrus fruit cases, involving the
complaint OF the California orange
and lemon growers against the South
ern Pacific and Santa Fe Railroads,
with more than 100 other roads allied
with them, was decided by the Su-
preme Court yesterday. The railroads
win, and the Interstate Commerce
Commission, which supported 1t, is
overruled.
In its essence the decision is that
when a shipper accepts through rate
over another load than that to which
his freight is delivered, be becomes
a party to the agreement by which
the through rate is reached, and can
not retain the privilege of routing
MS shipment as he pleases.
The light Of the California fruit
men has been lcng one. Before the
Interstate commerce law was passed
the two railroads which reached the
California fruit belt, the Santa ke
and the Southern Pacific, fought foi
the business by giving rebates. But
few years ago they made an agree.
ment by which they divided the busi-
ness, each taking half, and made fiat
rate to terminals They also under
took to give shippers an eight days
delivery. This was not lived up 10
and shippers found that fruit was
damaged by delay in transit. They
tried to correct this by routing theil
own shipments, but the roads ignored
their routings. They Complained
to the Interstate Commerce Commis.
sion and we're sustained. The United
States Ciiouit Court sustained the
order Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, and today's decision
was on the appeal Of the RAILROADS
from the Circuit Court.
The effect of this decision is that
the railroads were not pooling, but
we're agreeing to avoid rebating, and
IN doing so we're not violating the law.

The story Of how probably the most per-

As the story goes the possessor of the

When hanging your linen to dry use
two lines comparatively close and par
allel for your tablecloths and sheets.
Throw one selvage side of your table
cloth over one line toward the other,
allowing 1t to hang down about quar-
ter of yard and being careful to pin
It a short distance from the ends.
Take the opposite for your cloth and
throw 1t over the other line, facing
the first line, and pin it In the same
manner This will form sort of bag
and will prevent to considerable ex-
tent the wild blowing Of the tablecloth
IN windy weather.
After the table linen is thoroughly
dried remove 1t from the line and
prepare to dampen it. A whisk broom
Is excellent for the purpose.
Table linen, in order to bring out
the bright gloss that makes 1t attrac-
tive, should be dampened quite con
siderably. Sprinkle the tablecloths
freely, being sure that the selyage
ends or hemstitched borders are thor
oughly damp, says Woman's Life. Roll
up tightly. patting the roll frequently
to spread the dampness.
