INDIANA STATE NEWS

Indianapolis, Aug. 16.-The Indiana
railroad commission has started a gem
eral inquiry into classified freight
rates to and from all points in Indi-
ana. This is one of the most important
matters ever taken up by the commits
sion, as every steam road in the state
is concerned. The commission issued
an order TO all the steam roads notify
Ing them Of the inquiry and setting
Oct u as the day of the hearing.
Classified Rates All Wrong.
The order says that it appears to the
commission that classified freight rates
from Indianapolis to other points in
the state and from other points TO In
dianapolis are excessive and lack uni
formity. 1t says they operate TO the
disadvantage of certain localities and
persons. The railroads themselves say
that the classified freight rates need
revision and modification as soon as
the roads can find time to take up the
matter and make the revision. The
commission says that thematter should
be delayed no longer.
There Is Plenty of Comfort.
The commission says it will begin
at once a general inquiry all over the
state on the whole subject of rates on
classified freight and that it will gath
e. all the Information possible before
the time set for the hearing. Com
plants have been made to the commits
sion time after time that classified
freight rates were excessive and that
they lacked uniformity to such an ex-
tent that many points suffered from
discrimination and requests have been
made to the commission to bring about
a readjustment. Until now, however.
the commission did not go into a gen.
eral inquiry.
Most Important Case Is Appealed.
In numerous cases the commission
has revised freight rates TO or from in
dividual points. The most important
of these revisions was the one in the
case of Schnull & Co. against the
Nandalia railroad. In this case the
commission ordered the Vandalia to
make a 33 1-3 per cent reduction in

Professor Smith, the man whose fame

THIEVES AT HOTEL
LOOTED ROOMS DURING BIG
LONG BEACH FIRE.
Considerable Booty Taken from Trunks
and the Rooms was Found in Sand
Dunes-Thieves Arraigned.

NEW YORK, July so.-A feature Of the
fire which destroyed the mammoth Long
Beach Hotel, and In which nearly a thou
sand guests were driven out on the sands
In scant attire, has just developed. In
their hurried fight the guests abandoned
money, 1ewelry and other valuable prop
erty. and hooters, 1t appears, were quick to
take advantage of the fact. Detectives
who were sent to the scene arrested three
negro walters and a Greek laborer, and
stolen property, it is stated, was found
in their possession. The men were held
on a charge Of grand larceny.
Justice Wallace, who gave the alleged
~looters a hearing, was informed that
thieves had buried stolen property In the
dunes back of the hotel site, and he or
derd men out to make a search. The
amount of property they recovered was
surprising. Wherever there was a sign
of the sand having been recently dis
turbed excavation was made and some
thing brought to light. BY dark Justice
Wallace had in his possession several
trunks full Of stuff. bags and sntchels and
bundles and boxes containing ~valuables.
He had rings and pins and stick pins,
watches and chains and a great collection
of all sorts Of jewelled combs and silver-
backed toilet articles and some dresses and
suits.

CHINAMEN ON OUTING.
Celestials from Newark Join Manhattan
Brethren in Sail and Picnic

Many Cinnamon from Newark and VI
cinity Joined the two thousand celestials
from Manhattan and Brooklyn that, rep
resenting the Chinese Sunday schools and
missions Of those boroughs, yesterday pic
nicked at College Point on the Long Island
shore.
The embarkntion was aboard the steamer
Dreamland, at Pier A, New York, and
with the dragon flag of China at her
peak a speedy trip was made to the picnic
grounds. With the Orientais, all of whom
were attired in American costume, went
the teachers Of the Sunday schools, mis-
sions and other places where the almondx
eyed sons of the Flowery Kingdom are
taught Christianity. TIL wives Of many of
the Cinnamon were in the party,
many of them ine-looking ms also
their children. From the many blondes
among the women it was seen that Chi
namen prefer this type of female lowell
ness to brunette beauties.
The rain that fell in torrents lust
before the Dreamland's departure some
what dampened the attire of the excur-
sioinists as they boarded the steamer. but
not the ardor of the crowd that sailed
away under the dragon flag. All the Chi
namen had their queues neatly braided un-
der their headgear. invariably a straw
hat.
There was no disorder. In fact an out
ing of Cinnamon Is as free from rowdyism
as any church prayer meeting and is pre-
ferred py, the harbor police to any out
ing that departs from the shores OF Man
haitian. At the grove there were games
and dancing and a merry time was had
by all despite b rain.

MIDSUMMER SHOWS
"CARMEM' EXCELLENTLY
SUNG AT OLYMPIC PARK.
An Unusually Good Bill at Proctor's
Theatre-What Hillside and Elec-
trio Parks offer.

In spite of dubious weather conditions
there was a crowd of some magnitude at
Olympic Park last night to listen to the
fascinating and brilliantly melodic grand
opera of Carmen" as sung by the Aborn
Opera Company. Musically appreciative
Newarkers who have heard the opera
many times sung by the foremost artists
of the day pronounced the performance
careful, conscientious and interesting ana
deserving of honest approval.
Not only upon the sensuous appeal of
Bizet's familiar music does the opera de-
pend for its strength OF attraction, but
upon the story 1t tells, adapted from the
tragic tale of Prosper Merimee, and
which, for the proper effect upon the
emotions, demands acting Of quality.
In last nights performance, the arias
and duets were all well sung, the choruses

acting left little to cavil at. Miss Maude
