ed before Magistrate Fowles. OF Co.

plaintiff in the sum Of $55. The rail-
road. throught its attorneys, Messrs.
Barron. Moore & Barron. took an ap-
peal to the circuit court, alleging
that any rule prescribing penalty is
illegal and unconstitutional whether
the railroad commission gets its au-
thoritv from the legislature or not.
nd that any rule or regulation Of the
railroad commission prescribing pen

legislative fnction. which is not and

appeal and modified the judgment OF
the magistrate. reducing the amount
$50 and allowing the plaintiff barely
the amount given as damages.

MAX LOSE FEDERAL AID.
Capt. Clay's Report on Military Fea
ture of Clemson College is
Adverse

A dispatch from Washington to the
News and Courier says:
1t has been remored here for sew
eral days that Clemson college might
lose its commandant hereafter, that
all guns and military equipment. the
property Of the federal government.
might be called in, and that, lastly,
the federal appropriation which the
college is now receiving annually
might be Withdrawn. These rumors
first came to the knowledge Of this
correspondent several days ago
through people coming from South
Carolina. As they stated it. Capt.
Clay. the former commandant at
Clemson. became dissatisfied with the
way things were going there, espe-
ciallv because of the fact that the
night before the last commencement
several members Of the graduating
class acted in a way that did not suit
him
He thereupon demanded Of the fa-
Guilty Of the college that the diplomas
of the members Of the class be with
held. This the faculty declined to do.
With this in mind the News and
Courier correspondent today went to
the war department and saw AdJt.
Gen. Ainsworth concerning the matter.
It was learned that Capt. Clay, after
his detachment from Clemson, made
a report to the department in which
he recommended that action be TAX
en- looking to the calling in of all gov
ernment property, etc., and abandon
ing the military feature Of this COL
lege. Gen Ainsworth, in the absence
Of both Secretary Taft and Assistant
Secretary Oliver. absent on VACATIONS
will probably take no action IN the
matter. While declining to 60 into the
case fully with this correspondent
Cen Ainsworth intimated that the
outlook 50 far as continuing the mill
tary features at Clemson was not
GOOD, Just what definite action will
be taken regarding Capt. Clay's re-
nort he would not say.

CRUSADE FOR PROHIBITION.
Appeal Made for Support Of Weber
Bill In CONGRESS.

The second Of the series Of lectures for
prohibition in the District Of Columbia was
given last night at the Vermont Avenue
Christian Church by Rev. James w. Zach
airy of Lexington. KY, who has been en-
gagged by the prohibition crusaders Of the
District to aid in the work here. The sub
ject last night was Does the Liquor Traf-
f1c Pay?" Rev. DR.. Frederick D. Power.
pastor Of the church. had charge Of the ex-
ercises.
The speaker Of the evening strongly de-
nounced the liquor traffic. He stated that
if it were not for liquor the undertakes,
physicians, sign men, owners of real estate
which is rented to saloon men and many
others would not have as much money as
they do, as they all receive money, directly
or indirectly, through the traffic; and, fur
Their, that it would not be so bad for the
country If instead of licensing the saloon
keepers they would license pickpockets.
bank robbers and horse thieves. as the lat
ter only take money, whereas the saloon
men wreck lives and homes.
1.-THE sum of S720 900 600 is lost each year
in labor alone through the liquor traffic." he
stated, land much Of the insanity in this
country is caused by liquor; that hundreds
Of thousands who are in asylums by the
use of liquor cost this country annually
100000 to care for them: 100000 men,
women and children labor in the distilleries
and rum shops in the manufacture and sale
of liquor in this country.
EVERY nOur tnat Is put IN tne laDOr OF
manufacturing of liquor is curse which
is greater than the many other crimes conf
mitted by stealing. If the labor that is used
in it's manufacture were put into some
other trade or profession 1t would be doing
good.'
In closing Rev. Mr.. Zachary urged that
the people Of the District work for the sup
port of the Weber bill, now before Con-
gress.
Representative Weber of Ohio was the
next speaker. His speech was practically
on the bill which bears his name. He made
a strong appeal in support of the measure
now before the House committee, prohibit
ing the sale OF liquor In the District. and
stated the result lay in the vote Of ten rep
resentatives.
Rev. William E. Shinn of Iowa also spoke
on the liquor traffic in this country.

the Fifth Baptist Church. E and 61a streets
