innocent amusement to the onlooker
as a good amateur minstrel show, main.

CLOTHING

FOR SOLDIER BOYS
The suggestion has been made that
enlisted men of the army be permitted
to wear civilian clothing when they
are ION pass" to the end that they may
not feel themselves conspicuous when
not on duty and when away from their
stations. Those who advocate this
proposition believe that it will have
its decided influence upon enlistmen,
as well as encouraging refreshments,
results greatly TO be desired. 1t is
asserted that many soldiers desire the
privilege of wearing civilian clothing
under the conditions described add
that some of them oven make the
change Of costume when they visn
the towns or cities near their posts.
II this is the case and it has any sucn
value as is described by those who
ought to know, 1t would appear that
the military authorities may very east
ly take a step which promises to be
of such decided advantage. This
would assist in solving the vexatious
problem Of compelling respect for the
army uniform by getting rid Of any
question Of its proper recognition. 1t
is only natural that enlisted men
should desire to avoid attracting at
tention, and their wishes in the direc-
ton might very well be observed.

Washington, April 19.-In what is
Interstate Commerce commission to-
day announced it's decision against the
Union Pacific railroad company. The
commission holds that the arrange
ment between the Union Pacific and
the Peavey elevators was unlawful as.
AZ was in excess of the actual cost of
the elevation OF the grain and there
fore a rebate.
The decision was prepared by Conn
missioner Harlan and his opinion was
concurred in by majority of the
commission. Commissioners Glenn
! ents and Lane however filed dissent
ing opinions.
The proceeding was entitled lin the
! matter of allowances to elevators by
the Union Pacific Railroad Co" 1t
was a subject Of investigation by the
commission on It's own motion prior
to June 25, 1904 on which date the
commission on the evidence then be-
fore it decided that there had been no
1 violation of law.
1 subsequently in July 1906 on peti-
ton Of certain railroads interested In
4 the grain traffic of the northwest the
case was e-opened and much addi-
tional testimony was taken. The case
was then argued at great length be-
fore the commission and briefs were
Tiled by counsel representing all par
ties i'm interest. Upon this record ant
the record of the previous proceeding
the commissions decision is based
The opinion of Commissioners Harlan
lis summarized as follows:
elevation is defined as unloading
grain from cars or grain carrying yes

exceed ten days; 1t does not includ
treatment sor grading, cleaning an
clipping Of grain; and retention in a.
elevator beyond ten days become

vice of elevation as that word Is use
in the statute.
