TO TEST PASS RULING.
Western Railroads Will Garry Newspaper
Transportation Contract to Fed
eral Courts.

NEW YORK. April 22.-Wcstern
railroads are understood finally to have
decided to bring about Il test Of the ruI-
ing made by the interstate commerce
commission that the new law prohibits
railroads from continuing a time hon
ored practice Of making contracts for
the exchange of transportation for adver-
Using.
1t will be remembered that the NIonon
at first announced that it would not
abide by the decision and would continue
making contracts, but later it recon
sidered its action and said it would ac-
cept the dictum Of the commission.
Now the Hartman lines, which have
not been i'll sympathy with the ruling.
will take up the cudgels in behalf of
publications and by legal procedure have
the question definitely settled in the
courts. 1t is understood to be the opin-
ion Of their management that SO long as
there is no deviation from tariff rates,
the railroads have a perfect right to ex-
change transportation for advertising
and that the trainers of the law never
intended any such Interpretation as the
commission has made. 1t is argued that
its effect has been to destroy the right
to enter into legal contracts and inter
feres with such contracts that are al
ready i'll effect.
The intention. it IS stated, is to make
up case, backed by all the essential
data, and try and get an early decision
in the federal courts. This will be the
first real test of the law that has been
made.

FRITZ SCHEFF is OUT.

Beginning of Her Illness Seven
Weeks Ago.

NEW YORK, April 22.-F'ritzi Scheff
yesterday made her first appearance in
public since she was stricken with the
illness that abruptly brought the tour
of Mile. Modiste" to an end. After
her seven weeks confinement to her
apartments at the st. Regis it was de-
cided by her physicians that she might
venture into the Park for a short drive.
The appearance of her carriage on the
East Drive was the signal for a sort of
impromptu reception. Many of Miss
Scheff's friends recognized her as she
sat bolstered up in her brougham, and
their greetings showed plainly their de-
light i'll her recovery.
During Miss Scheff's illness she has
been in a far more critical condition on
several occasions than the general pub
lie has known. Once or twice it seemed
as if she might not recover, and only the
tenderest care and most expert treat
ment have brought her happily over the
crisis.
