POLITICAL POINTS
Weekly Letter From The
National Capitol


The Interstate Commerce Com
mission is goins after the railroad
situation from all points. 1t of
course has a standing job to adjust
railroad rates, but to this is now
added any number of special in
vestigations imposed on it by
special acts Of Congress. 1t has
not yet finished investigating the
coal, oil and iron transportation of
the country. 1t. is in the middle
of an Investigation as to the re-
lations of the grain elevators with
the railroads and it has the block
signal and safety appliance in
vestigation on hand which it is
now combining with a special
inquiry as to the facts in the
recent railway wreck outside of
Washington, where between forty
and fifty people were killed and
three score injured.
All this is not conducive to keep
ing up it's regular work. There
have been very few cases of COM
plants by shippers settled by the
commission recently. In fact the
shippers of the middle west are
particularly incensed because it
costs so much and takes so long
to get a decision of any sort from
the Commission and the railroads
are sure to evade the decision by
putting on the exaction in a little
different form as soon as one par
ticular brand of extortion has
been declared unlawful.
The Commission is just now
engaged in Investigating the rail-
road wreck at Terra Gotta, D. c.,
three miles from the Capitol of the
U. S. in it's relation to the block
signal system. This disaster,
which happened last week, is one
of the most aggravated in recent
railway history. The public was
o than ever incensed against
the railroad because the officials
fred the wreck before it was
ever definitely determined that
all the bodies had been taken
out and issued orders to their press
agent to suppress the real story
and the number of dead, although
the Off cials knew at the time that
they we're woefully undertaking
the real fatalities. Ofcourse both
these things are cmmon railroad
practice, but they have attracted
more attention because all of the
local papers found out the rail-
road in this instance and printed
condemnatory reports about it.
Therefore, the Interstate Com
SOluullSSlOu HAS d lIulUlul
field of inquiry before it, with a
specific instance at hand where
upon to base their recommended
tions for more drastic safety
legislation than the
railroads have ever suffered or the
public ever enjoyed before.

Asst. Postmaster General Hitch
cock has figured out a new salary
system for postal clerks and letter
carriers all over the country that
will be of interest to thousands of
employees. He shows in his
annual report just submitted that
it is very difficult to keep good
clerksin the postal service. About
IL per cent. of the clerks resign
annually, while 8 per cent. of the
letter carriers also quit the publ C
for private service. He, therefore,
recommends that there should be
a graduated salary roll beginning
with $500, and running from that
to $500, and then by jumps of 800
to $1,000 per annum. He wishes
to promote the clerks and carriers
regularly from $500 to the 5000
grade according to their term Of
service and after that to make
their promotions depend entirely
on efficiency and mpetitive ex-
aminations. 1t is believed in this
way that it will be possible to get
a better grade of men in the
service and keep them there.

stroyed by the builders so that
while it was decidedly untrue in
reality it had all the effect of
being most beautifully straight
and perfect to the eye unaded by
measuring Instruments. For in
stance, in the plinth of one temple
two hundred feet across, Prof.
Goodyear found that the line of
architecture curved fully ten
inches upward in the center, yet
the effect was that of an absolutely
perfect straight line. He had
diagrams prepared which showed
that absolutely parallel lines we're
apparently distorted out of all
shape by curves and slanting
lines drawn near them. He
showed further that in the piazza
of st. Marks at Rome the builders
had made the open space appear
decidedly greater than it really
was by carefully distorting the
lines of perspective. All of which
goes to show that the ancient were
a good deal cleverer than we
usually give them credit for being
and that even a scientific meeting
is not always as dry as it might
be.

in Washington quite a notable
meeting of scientists from all over
the country. 1t was the joint
gathering of the American Arch
geological Association and the
American Pathological Society.
Such heavyweight organizations
seldom produce much of popular
interest, but there was at least one
paper presented which was a real
revelation, not only to the majority
of laymeh but perhaps also to a
minority of the scientists present.
1t was by Prof. William Goodyear,
and dealt with a very advanced
system of the application of optics
to architecture which Prof. Good
year has found among some of
the ruined temples of Egypt.
Some people. though perhaps not
a majority, know that the Greeks
and Romans had this art of using
curves to simulate straight lines
in many of their most notable
temples, butts discovery in Egypt
showed that those ancient builders
were much farther advanced in
applied science than observers
have given them credit for. The
scheme was briefly this; A broad
flight of steps, the plinth of a
temple, or a long line of caves and
roof will not look straight if they
are built straight. Surprising
that such a long straight line of
architecture is built with mathe-
NAUTICAL exactness, it will appear
to be q concave line If it is above
the level of the eyes Or a convex
line if it is beneath them. Prof.
Goodyear had found by measure
ments with levels and exact instru-
ments that the architecture of
some of the most famous Of these
temples had been carefully de-

New York's First State Prison.

The first state prison in New York
state was built at the foot of West
Tenth street, in New York city, in
1897. Within seven years there were
three mutinles Of prisoners. in which
keepers were killed and the prison set
on fire. Nevertheless the institution
seems to have been considered an at
traction, as appears from the follow
ing advertisement of the Greenwich
hotel, printed In the Columbian of
Sept. IS, 1911:
few gentlemen may be accommodated
with board and lodging at this pleasant
and healthy situation, n few doors from
the state prison. The Greenwich stage
passes from this to the federal hall and
returns five times day.
The prisoners were transferred to
Sing Sing in 1923, and the property
was sold the next year.-New York

spoken for five hours and forty min

Championship

Baseball is now thriving in the arc
tic circle and league, popular in every
way with the citizens of the far north,
exists there. Within the last few weeks
agents for the league have been in Los
Angeles, San Francisco and Spokane
striving to enlist professional players
to go up and play in the Klondyke
league, which this year consists of
Juneau, Skagway, Dawson, Fair
banks, Douglas City and White Horse.

said, land our jumps are made by
dog sleds and boats.
Did you ever sleep in the lower
berth of dog sled? No? Well, it
beats slow train in Arkansas. It
never gets dark during the playing
season, so we can play any hour of the
day or night-call the game at . D. m.
or midnight-it's all the same. No
games called on account of darkness
UP there.
Juneau won the championship last
year, but 1t was a funny deal. The
season was due to close on Labor day.
and Dawson was three games to the
good. 1t happened however. that
Juneau and Skagway were playing and
they had five postponed games, so they
played six in one day. Juneau won
five of the games and nosed Dawson
out of the race. The games started
at 1 p. m. and played through until
IL p m. with a short intermission be-

AMATEUR UMPIRES FAIL
TO UNDERSTAND ONE RULE

There is one baseball rule which is
not generally known and is seldom in
terpreted correctly by amateur umpires
who do not have time to consult the
book between decisions. This is the
infield fly rule. While the Boston Ma
tional team was in Thomasville train
ing Sam Brown umpired several of the
practice games and during one the old
question came up. With a man on
first the batsman hit an infield fly and
Umpire Sam called the batter out.
Umpire Sam was wrong in that in
stance, for the rule says that first and
second, or first, second and third must
be occupied to have the rule hold good.
The rule reads as follows:
Section 8-If, before two hands are
out, while first and second, or first,
second and third base are occupied,
the batsman hit a fly ball, other than
line drive, that can be handled by an
infielder, he is out. In such cases the
umpire shall, as soon as the ball be
hit, declare it an infield or an outfield
hit.
The reason for this rule is very evil
dent, for If it were not in vogu. triple
plays could be made every day with
ease. An infielder could catch a pop
fly on the bounce or trap it, and all
runners could be forced before they
could possibly reach their respective
bases.
