INTERSTATE COMMISSION.
Rules to Permit Railroads and News
papers TO DO Business.


Recently the Interstate Commerce
commission issued a ruling that rail-
roads would not be permitted to ex-
change transportation for advertising
space with newspapers. The ruling was
a ridiculous one, and in no way credit
able to the intelligence of the commits
sion making it. The intelligence of
those making the ruling might as well
have led them to issue an order that a
grocer or dry goods man could not ex-
change his goods with the farmer who
brings into the city his butter, eggs
and other produce to be marketed.
They might just as we'll have ruled
that no man could trade his horse for
that of another,
BY the latest "reactionary" back-wa-
ter ruling of the interstate commission
it is announced that they have very
kindly been forced to permit the rail
roads to keep open accounts with the
publishers, settlements to be made on
balances at stated periods. Such a rul-
ing will permit the continuance of ad-
vertising arrangement of nearly all the
railroads in this territory, since the diff
ference between the transportation ac-
count of the newspapers and the ad-
vertising accounts of the railroads has
been settled on a cash basis for num-
| Der of years.

DENIES STRIKE IMPENDs.

Architect J. T. Hutton, who has
charge of the work on the Federal
building, said today that there was no
prospect of a strike on account of the
cement workers working nine hours a
day. The report, he thought. grew out
of the fact that the cement workers
charter entities them TO. a nine-hour
day. which is contrary to the time
schedule observed by other building
trades unions. Mr. Hutton declares that
the working day on the new Federal
building is eight hours for all the men
employed. as the contracts were award
Cd on an eight-houF basis.

WILLIAM DARROACH A SPHINX.

William Darroach, Democratic can
didate for congress from the Tenth dis
trict, has been set down by Louis Lud-
low in the Indianapolis Star and Re
publican papers in this district as a
man who is ayerse to campaigning.
The attitude that is attributed to
him seems to be justified in a measure,
as he has thus far refrained from max
ing any speeches or canvassing votes
in any other manner. He has formally
announced his views on the subject
and is carrying them into effect by de-
clining ali invitations to speak. He
remains at home cultivates silence, and
would, apparently, as soon think Of
numbering his next door neighbor. as
of button-holing man and asking
him for his vote.

VICTORY FOR THIS CITY.

The personal injury case of Victor
Adland against the city of Hammond
resulted in a victory for the city. Ad-
land is a Chicago automobilist who was
suing the city of Hammond for in
juries received on account of the Shelf
field avenue bridge. The jury went out
to the scene yesterday afternoon and
satisfied itself that the city was not at
fault and based its verdict on the as
sumption that even had the city been
at fault TO a certain degree, Adland
was not justified in over-driving the
speed limit. Adland sued for $4,000
and the case was hotly contested in the
Lake superior court for three days
The city was represented by its attor-
ney, LeGrand T. Meyer.

IDENTITY MAY
Be PROVED
Is Mystery of Girl Who
Drank Acid at West
Hammond Solved?
It LOOKS THAT WAY
Cairo Man Says Description of I'm
known Tallies With That
of Daughter

The identity of the young girl who
committed suicide in one of the West
Hammond dives by taking carboIc
acid a few weeks ago and was buried
unclaimed in the potter's field is be-
lieved to have been established. She
is now thought to have been Clara
Quinnel daughter of Patrick Quinnel.
of Cairo, III.
The body of the unknown may be
exhumed today. if the evidence seems
to warrant such action.
A man giving the above name was in
Hammond yesterday afternoon looking
for his daughter. who when last heard
Of was supposed to have been an in
mate Of one of the West Hammond
dives. Quinnel spent the afternoon in
a fruitiess search for his daughter. of
whose probable death he had received
no intimation until the suggestion was
made by reporter for THE TIMES that
Clara and the unidentified unfortunate
who lies buried in a nameless grave in
the potter's field. might be one.
When the suicide was described the
father broke down and wept, declaring
the description tailed with that of his
daughter, WHO he said was a very fair
blonde, Is years of age and five feet
three inches in height.
It was the old, old story of love be-
slowed by an innocent girl upon an un-
worthy object man quite a good
many years the young girls senior and
gambler Of the lowest type. The
parents. who from Quinners appear
ance, seem to be OF the simple, kindly,
honest sort. mfstrusted the mans hon
orable intentions, and besought their
daughter to give him up. When she
persisted in meeting him and keeping
late hours in his company they re-
preached her, and this, the father
though, had been responsible for the
girls leaving home
The old man said: up to two years
ago my little girl was a dutifu
daughter who loved her home and hel
parents. Then she began receiving tn,
attentions of a gambler and from theI
on, in spite of her mothers and my
earnest entreaties to give up his com
pany, she continued to associate witt
him. She began staying out late a
night and when reprimanded by m,
she left home going to Chicago. Sh
obtained the money for her transpor
tation from the gambler. We made al
possible efforts to find her in Chicag,

It was then that the old man wa
told of the West Hammond girl VIII
committed suicide some time ago. H
said he believed it might be Clara
and il So. it was better for her to b
dead than to be living in one of tn
infamous dives with which the borde
town is infested
Mr.. Quinnel said he would continu
his search for his daughter today. II

a profound sensation among the busi-
ness men of this city.

Mr.. Becker to New York and the un-
usual activity of the members of the
firm of Gostifn Meyn g. CO., al pointed
to the fact that there was something
in the air.
Yesterday morning the secret which
had been carefully guarded for weeks
