England has surrendered 524 square
miles of her territory to the waves
within the last thousand years. More
recently the advance of the waters has
been muh more rapid. averaging for
the last forty years 1923 acres year.
The ravages of these in 1903 were
almost unprecedented. Many historical
towns. such as Ravensburgh. where
Henry " landed in 1889, have been
submerged. Off the Yorkshire coast
alone there are twelve submerged
towns and villages.

Aim Of Hepburn Bill.

THE passage of the Hepburn bill and
the provisions of the same, taken in
connection with the original interstate
commerce act. most conclusively dem
onstrate that it was the intention of
congress to place every officer, employee
servant and agent, as well as the busi-
ness of every interstate carrier, includ-
ing the tracks, cars, equipment and in
strumentalities of every kind, nature
and description, under the exclusive
control and supervision of the inter
state commerce commission.
If the opinion and decision of the
lower court shall be carried out to it's
logical conclusion and result the reg
ulation of commerce. will be thrown
into endless confusion. and, although
the question is one of national charac-
ter and Importance. the states may di-
vide the responsibility with the federal
government and make orders and es-
tablish rules and regulations which will
embarrass and perhaps in many in
stances prevent common carriers. SUBJ
ject to the provisions of the act of con-
gress, from complying with their du-
ties and obligations as prescribed by
the express mandates of the federal
government

attempt TO Dust the flying rollers
from the state probably will be made
| by Deputy Attorney General Chase.
| Mr. Chase has been conducting an in
vestigation for the past two weeks and
is expected to commence proceedings
within the next fortnight.
Benjamin Purnell. head of the
Home of David" of this city. is de-
he declared:
"You bet your boots we will contin-
ne OF do as we have been doing. We
shall mind our own business, and the
House of David shall live and thrive
as it has done in the past"
The action Mr.. Chase will take will
be in the form of quo warranto pro-
ceedings asking the colony to show
cause why it's charter should not be
taken from it. Mr. Chase declares that
he is sure of his ground in this direc-
ton, as the House of David" now in
corporated merely as a church organ
ization, has been operating as a bust
ness concern in violation of the act
under which it was organized.
Leader Says ne Will Fight.
Purnell insists that he will fight
this move to the highest court in the
state.
The part that Thomas Erskine,
British vice CONSUL at Chicago has
been playing in the investigation is
due to complaint lodged at the Brit
ish consulate by William Cleveland, a
native of England and former men,
Der of the long-haired colony. Learn
ing that there were British subjects
at the House of David who came
here from Australia nearly two years
ago, the vice consul made an investi-
CATION The British government how
ever. will leave all legal action to
the state of Michigan, offering only
suggestions as to what form it will
take and what course will be pursued.
The Twin City Ministerial associa-
ton, composed of clergymen of this
city and st. Joseph, is leading fac
tor in the investigation. This organ
ization which has been conducting an
investigation by itself for the last
month has collected valuable evidence
and today gave it over to the attorney
general department.
State has Hard Problem.
Mr.. Chase admitted that he had
somewhat of a difficult problem to
solve
where religion fanaticism, graft
and deception are all one" said he,
cit is pretty hard to proceed"
The policy of the state will be first
to commence legal action toward
out the business affairs
of the colony and then to probe the
charges of immoral conduct which
have been made against Purnell and
some of his followers. Attorney w. P.
Harvey leading counsel for the House
of David, made this statement tonight:
ct is true that the colony has out
grown the charter under which it was
but we believe these diff
culties can be Strengthened out with
out trouble. We do not view the in
vestigation seriously, neither do we
fear it."

NATIONS SUPREME BODY.
MISSOURI PACIFIC DENIES TO
RIGHT OF STATES TO FIX THE
RATES.

Washington, Sept. 4.-The constitu-
tionality of Indiana's 2-cent-fare law
and those of other states that have
passed like statutes is involved in a
case just filed in the United States SUI
preme court in which tn contention is
made that under the provisions of the
Hepburn rate act all railroad compa-
MES engaged in transporting commod-
tiles between the states are under the
exclusive jurisdiction of tue interstate
commerce commission, and further
that the states have lost all supervision
and control over railroads within their
borders.
The Missouri Pacific Railroad COM
pany has brought this case to the Su-
preme court. The Larabee Milling
company, of Stafford, Kas, operated a
mill on a spur leading from the Mis-
souri, Pacific's main line The Santa
Fe road crosses the Missouri Pacific at
Stafford about mile from the mill.
For many years the Missouri Pacific
delivered cars to the mill and moved
them from the mill off the Santa Fe
tracks at a charge of 50 per car.
Some months ago it ceased being
switch agent for the Santa Fe. The
milling company instituted mandamus
proceedings in the supreme court of
Kansas to compel the Missouri Pacific
to continue the arrangement and Sc
cured the issuance of writ from
which it appeals to the United States
Supreme court

Business Interstate.

In the trial of the case it was con-
ceded that three-fifths of the business
of the mill was interstate business. In
it's appeal the Missouri Pacific makes
the bold claim that it is subject to fed
eral control only that under the pro-
visions of the Hepburn act the various
states have lost control of the inter-
state roads so far as operation of the
roads are concerned. and that the Kan
sas supreme court wa without jurisdic-
ton in the case brought by the Larabee
Milling company.
There is not single detail of rail-
road operation reads the brief filed
in the case. which is not provided for
by the interstate commerce acts and
other acts relating to interstate car
riers. The rails of many railroad
companies extend continuously from
ocean to ocean. Every car is engaged,
more or less, in the transportation of
commerce between the states. That
the regulation of commerce and all in
strumentalities of commerce is a ma
tional question no one can gainsay or
deny.

THIEF REIMBURSES
THOSE He ROBBED
Theodore Frey, Arrested for
Stealing From Betz Co.,
Released.
Especial to Lake County Times.) !.

Chicago, Feb. IA dispatch re
ceived from Hammond is to the effect
that Theodore Frey of the F. S. Betz
company, who was arrested some days
ago by the Hammond police charged
with having stolen large quantity of
gold amalgam from the Betz people,
has raised $4,000 toward reimbursing
the concern in whose employ he was
and from whom he stole the gold.
Indications point to the fact that
there was a conspiracy of some kind
in which more than Frey figured. The
latter was Identified with a man named
Schenkenberg of the International
Dental Supply company. and it is to this
concern that Frey disposed of his i'll
gotten gains.
Although Frey was under arrest
theoretically he was not a prisoner In
any jail, but was under police surveil-
lance. Since he has made good the
greater part Of his stealings. he has
been released. Frey was a man who
stood we'll in the esteem OF his en-
ployers and was prominent among
Hammond people.

hlnh-FIown Metaphors.

Mr. Sturgeon, the great English
preacher. was a keen collector of
mixed metaphors. finding a rich field
in the correspondence that daily
overwhelmed him. A woman inclosing
a small contribution for his schools
wrote: Il hope this widows mite
may take root and spread its branches
until it becomes a Hercules in your
hands Pulpit prayers of ambitious
probationers added something to the
great preachers store. One prayed
that Gods rod and staff may be ours
while tossed on the sea of life, SO that
we may fight the good fight OF faith
and in the end soar to rest"

mosLEM MANNERS AT TABLE.
Religion and Good Behavior Appro-
priateIy Mixed.

The rules set down by old Moslem
precept as to how to behave religious
ly and appropriately at meals are in
teresting, though whether they are de-
voutly complied with in times of fes-
tival is doubtful Here are some ex-
amples: Wash your hands and mouth
before eating. When eating never
put enc leg upon the other, nor put
your elbows upon the table, as this
hinders a good digestion. Never be
a slave to your repast, and never
touch any meal if you are hungry. Be
ever content with what you find be
fore you, and never give yourself
great pains in preparing choice dishes.
Be always, if possible, at the table in
company with friends, as the prophet
never partook of his meals alone. Al
ways begin and end your meals with
Thanksgiving to Allah. Always eat
with your right hand, and swallow, be-
fore and after food, a little salt 1t
shows good upbringing and is pleas
ing TO Allah ever TO put into the
mouth only small morsels and never
to make any observations upon the
defective qualities of dishes. Never
cut bread with a knife. but, as the
prophet did, break it. Never choose
the fruit offered, but take any au
hasard. Never wipe your fingers with
bread Avoid blowing on a hot dish,
but wait until it gets cool. Eat dates,
apricots and other similar fruit one
by one. remembering that in eating
them thus the unity Of Allah. Avoid
at the table drinking much water. Your
meal finished, use attentively the
toothpick, gather up the crumbs, and
wash again your hands and mouth.
Lastly, render thanks to Allah.
