ment of the Hepburn rate act was
ascertained definitely by Commission.
er FRANKLIN K. Lane of the interstate
commerce commission on his recent
trip to the Pacific coast. The offend.
ing line is the Southern Pacific con.
trolled and practically owned by Ed.

his violation of the law was adduced
at hearing before Commissioner

San Francisco.
commissioner Lane Just returned
from California and has not yet sub.
mltted his report to the interstate
commerce commission, but he author
lied the following statement bearing
upon his investigation:
i do not know what may have been
published in the east concerning re.
batting by western Aoads. The hear.
lngs held in San Francisco were omen

Southern Pacific Office a list Of pre-.
ferred shippers, who" had but a pro-
portion of the published rates upon
state shipments. TRis list included
some of the largest knd most impor.
tant manufacturing arms. We also
found twenty books which had &C.
cumulated since the fire of last year,
showing special rebates. There were
several thousand entries in all, most
or them for very small amounts.
Ihese refunds in all amounted to
about half a million dollars during
the past year.
1t must not be understood, how.
ever, that the great body of them, or
any considerable percentage of them
were refunds upon interstate shin.

IN the contrary, believe that the
western roads and the roads of the
country generally are making a very
erious effort to comply with the re.
Iuirement Of the law.

sWerVing adherence. to the "one- price" system, altogether new to New Haven, as well as to many other places, his bow prices and, accurate representa- ton of merchandise, brought their re- ward very quickly. The little shop soon became too small to accommodate it's increasing patronage More space was needed more was quickly ac- quired. Adjoining stores were gradu- ally rented. In process of time the rent rose from seventy-five dollars to six hundred dollars, and on twelve year lease took a further jump up to one thousand dollars. Some time later the lease of the Insurance build ing fell through and could not be re- neWed. It was then that foresghted merchandising with a keen eye to the trend of values in real estate, made further stride and secured the valuable corner of Chapel and Temple streets, which property, after while, was pur- chased for $140OOO. Thus did the mer- chandising of the Malley store and its surroundings keep even pace, side by side, with the welfare and prosperity of the city, and in this, it's fifty-fifth year of trading history it's founder, Edward Malley, can certainly LOOK back with contentment and justidable pride to those secure foundations which he laid down SD judiciously in 1852, and which have resulted in the firmly built edifice of 1907

IN MEMORIAM.
R RESOLUTION ON DEATH OF MRS
 GEORGE ". CURTIS

Managers of New Haven Orphan Asylum
 Place on Record a Beautiful Tribute
 to Her Memory, and Show Their Ap-
 peciatiOn of Her Work on Behalf of
 the Asylum.
 The following memorial resolution was adopted at the first meeting of the board of managers of the New Haven Orphan asylum after the death of Mrs. George w. Curtis, its president:
 By the death of Mrs. George w. Cur tis the managers of the New Haven Orphan asylum are moved to place up- on the records of the institution their sense of the value of her life's work, as well as the loss which has been sus- tained in her death.
 Mrs. Curtis was wise master build era leader and organizer of forces which she utilized with consummate skill and tact. not only in developing the institution over which she so long presided, but in the development of personal character which had long commanded the love and respect of her associates, and which now that the support of her presence is with drawn, they realize all the more fully to be worthy of their emulation and reverent memory. The duty imposed upon her survivors of building upon the foundations which she has so firmly laid seems to them, without her guid- ance, an almost impossible one. The life of Mrs. Curtis was one of almost unusual completeness. The qualities which it exhibited, many of them to a rare degrees, could not tend otherwise. Clear in judgment, of digniled but kindly mien, just, quick and firm ilt her decisions, capable of analysing and presenting every subject in a manner at once correct, convincing, and there- fore final, while governed by the high est moral and religious ifnpulse-all these, in remarkably happy balance, combined to form character admira- ble for its strength, symmetry and use- fitness. Such fitness for life early found its fitting and congenial field of labor. It is largely through the wis- QOHl, QGNOllOll etuu 6ASCullN0 odDI1lLy or Mrs. Curtis, it's chief executive officer, that the New Haven Orphan asylum has for nearly a quarter of a century stood foremost in the support and the affection of the citizens of New Ha- ven.
 She hath indeed builded well. The ir- stitution she so loved, and to which she gave her life, is noble and abiding monument to her worth.
 Her bequest to us is an honored name and memory,
 Tn behalf of the board of managers. ELLA e. BRADLEY.
