Commission Holds They Mast Be
Omen to the Public.

Washington. April "a far reaching decision
was rendered to-day by the Interstate Commerce
Commission respecting party rate tickets" Nari-
Gus railroads have been proceeding on the theory
that such tickets could be granted only theatrl-
cal or amusement companies. The commission
holds, however that the transportation OF such
amusement companies on party rate tickets would
be similar TO transportation where the same num-
Der OF persons not belonging to such companies
offered to travel and that therefore the tickets
must be open to the use of the general public.
The majority opinion OF the commission was rem
dered by Commissioner Prouty. Chairman Knapp
and Commissioner Harlan dissenting
A large number Of carriers have fled tariffs
hning the use of these tickets to amusement COM
panes and the commission was informed that
there IS an impression arising out OF the silence
OF the commission on this subject, that the COM
mission had finally decided such tickets might be
thus limited. Before taking steps to bring the mat
ter before the courts for determination, the COM
mission sees proper 70 state the contrary View and
10 indicate in this decision the upon which
II bases its conclusion.
After citing several court decisions It was found
that the circumstances and conditions mentioned
ia the second section OF the act to regulate com
inerce refer 70 the carriage itself. and that the
transportation OF such amusement companies on
party rate tickets would be similar 10 transporta-
ton where the same number OF persons not be-
longing 20 such companies offered to travel The
commission says:
It VIII be seen that under the holding Of both
and the English courts Section . pre-
scribes rigid rule OF action II the circumstances
and conditions OF the carriage itself the same

see how the carriage Of ten persons belonging 10

MANY WESTERN ELECTRIC MEN OUT.

The dismissal Of about five thousand by the
Western Electric Company within the last few
months is not believed TO mean that conditions
quiring this general in The electrical world The
case OF the Western Electric Company is held to

Two Men Under Arrest Charged With
 Fraud by Dr. Kemp.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-What is charged by the police to be a scheme to defraud a Washington physician out of $5,0OO led to the arrest of Frank F. Romans of Paris, France, and David T. Tanner, alias Townsend. of White Plains, N. Y., on the charge of conspiracy.
 The two men were taken into GUS tody in an uptown hotel after Dr. Thomas J. Kemp of this city had re- ported to the police that Tanner made proposition to him to enter into deal ito put a New York gambling house out of business.' Dr. Kemp de clares that the men assured him that by investing S5,O0O he could easily win from $2OO,OOO to $3OO,00O within one week.
 The physician, however, says he did not put up any money, but encouraged the men to secure evidence. The 'get- rich-quick" scheme. according to pr. Kemp's report to the police, was that Dr. Kemp was to pay s5,0O0, and Tan ner, who claimed to be manager of the gambling house, was ito tip Romans and the physician off on the run of the cards in a faro game" Tanner and Romans were locked up at the First precinct police station. Both men de ny the charges.

THOSE SUDDEN TWINGES,

Pain is natures signal of distress, warning that must not be ignored. Those sharp twinges in the back, those stabilize pains that follow any sudden twist or turn. are simply signs of hidden danger in the kidneys.
 No trouble starts more easily. gains ground more rapidly, nor proves more often fatal than any disorder of the kidneys. All the outward ap- pearances of health may remain until c terrible disease had taken root. It is best to learn the duties of the kidneys. to watch for early signs of trouble. and to correct any irregular ity before its serious stage begins.
 The blood goes to the kidneys in an fncessant stream. to be cleared of poll son and relieved of surplus water. This is passed off by the kidneys In the urine. It is the retention of poll son in kidney trouble that breeds fatal disease.
 Don't wait. The moment you feel any uneasiness, lamene8 or pain in the back. the moment the urine shows irregularity. either in its ap- pearance. or in the quantity or num- Der of the passages. begin with Doan's Kidney Pills This remedy has been curing kidney troubles for seventy six years. and never yet has failed

 ALBANY, N. Y., Jan. 14.-Tonight the New York state legislature will be- gin In earnest the work of the session of 1907.
 Both houses have organized by the election of Senator John ,Raines as president pro tenn. of the senate and Assemblyman James w. Wadsworth, IT,, of Livingston county as speaker of the assembly. The committees have been appointed and all hands are ready for the work of legislation. Near ly twice as many bills have been in- troduced as in the same length of time year ago.
 The only measure thus far seriously considered is that appropriatlng to- tai of $76,O00 to supply the deficiency in the funds of the attorney generals department
 The introduction of bills embodying the ideas of Governor Hughes regard Ing the merging in one commission of the functions of the railroad commits sion and the commission of gas and electricity is expected.
 The recount of the ballots cast at the mayoralty election of 1905 in New York city, recommended by the gov ernor, is provided for in several differ ent ways by bills already introduced. That of Assemblyman Prentice, limited in it's operation to that election only, Is regarded as the one to be pressed to passage. It will be introduced in the senate by Senator Page. Its fate may depend in some measure upon the progress of the litigation in the courts instituted by Attorney General Jack son against Mayor Mcclellan and the quo warranto proceedings sought to be brought in his own behalf by Mayor McGlellan's opponent, William Ran dolph Hearst.
 Governor Hughes is expected to send his appointments to the senate today. He declined to discuss Herbert Par sons visit. but gossip here says that he asked the governor to appoint Nc Dougall Hawkes. superintendent of public works.

AGED OFFICIAL FATALLY INJURED.
Housebreakers Open Fire on Patrick Connolly and His Son-in-law When Caught Forcing an Entrance
 to Country Home.

. .a
 MAMARONECK, N. Y., Jan. 14.-A burglar shot Patrick Connolly and Clarence Hilleck, his son-in-law, at an early hour in the Connolly home here.
 Mr. Connolly, who is highway com missioner of Mamaroneck and sixty years old, is in critical condition. He was fired at twice, and one of the bull lets went through his lungs. Hilleck is only slightly injured. The bullet which struck him was turned from vital spot by rib.
 It was about o'clock when Mir. Con nelly was aroused by footsteps on the veranda. He called Hilleck, and, dressing hurriedly. the two men ran downstairs from their bedrooms. Hill leck reached the veranda before is er-in-aw and clinched with one of the two men, who were prying at a window fastening.
 Hilleck was being backed over the veranda railing when Mfr. Connolly reached his side and attacked his son in-law's antagonist. Instantly the bur glars companion, tall, slender man, opened fire on Mir. Connolly with re- volver. Connolly turned upon the shooter and attempted to grapple with him. The burglar fired two shots, one of which went through the commission CTS lungs and the other through his arm.
 "Oh. my God. I'm done for!' ex- claimed the wounded man as he drop ped.
 Hilleck had been overcome by this time, and both burglars now turned to Mr. Connelly's aid. They picked him up and had the daring to carry him inside the house.
 Mrs. Hilleck had been aroused and nearly ran into the burglars as they bore her father through the door.
 "Is that you. Clarence?" she cried, thinking that her husband must be one of the men.
 "Yes, dearest, it is r. said the fel- low who had done the shooting.
 Before the burglar had ceased speak ing Mrs. Hilleck discovered the decep- tion and grabbed the man. He knock ed her down, but as she fell she pulled out part of a mustache and held on to his hat. a derby, which contained the label of q Cincinnati manufacturer.
 Police Sergeant Cody of New Ro- chelle has arrested suspect In the case who was found wandering around near the trolley station without hat. He said he was Michael Owens of Rye.

LE0PoLD'S RULE MEANS ITS RUIN
Memorial Sent to Roosevelt, United States Senate ana to British Ruler on Behalf of Pertaining Natives
 by Philadelphia Conference.


 by Philadelphia Conference.
 PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 14. - At . conference of the foreign missions boards of the United States and Cana da assembled here 1t was unanimous ly agreed to forward to President Roosevelt, to the United States senate and to King Edward an appeal on be- halfof the stricken people of the Kon- go Free State as follows:
 'sThe conference of the foreign mis- sions boards of the United States and the Dominion of Canada would most respectfully and earnestly bring to you an appeal on behalf of the stricken people of the Kongo State. We do this in the name of forty missionary organizations whose work is prescott ed in all sections of the world, and we are persuaded that the petition inter- prets faithfully the sentiment of their constituency of upward of 20.00O. 600 Christian men and women. We are not forgetful that recognition has been given by both governments to interna- tional duty in relation to this unhappy people.
 Ut Is source Of keen satisfaction 10 us that our governments are united in leadership in work so closely af- fecting international honor, But we are reminded by the recurrence of our annual meeting that weeks and months are passing by while the heavy burden of wrong continues to rest with crush ing weight upon the Kongo people, and we recognize with profound regret that the first definite step toward just international action has not yet been tall ,.. :, ,..,.,, u, cerning this issue. because we are in timately associated with many resi- dents of the Kongo State, by whom the conditions to which we refer have been disclosed.
 we would earnestly urge that no de- vice of the ruler of the Kongo State, whether of wholesale aspersion of mo- tive or of evasion of accountability through promotion of transfer of terri tory to government of which he Is himself the head, shall be allowed to cloud the issue of international respon sibility for immediate ascertainment of conditions and correction of wrongs.
 "In the name of humanity, of inter national justice. of regard for the primal rights of man, we would ask that you will use the full power re- posed in governments by the supreme ruler in the interest of an immediate discharge by the nations of their re- sponsibility of guardianship over the remnant of the humble people who generation ago, without choice of their own, were brought out of their isola- tion into relations with the world of men and states"
