cesses or inequalities were disclosed,
this body, while giving additional power
to the commission, undertook to reeu-
late rates themselves, and in SO doing,
encountered obstinate opposition from
the transportation companies who felt
that the subject could not be judiCious-
~ considered by a representative body,
and that conclusions and enactments
would necessarily be crude and in
equitable, and this opinion was very
largely shared by the business inte1-
ests of the state. There was no dispo-
sltlon on the part of the business pub
Tic tc hinder the equitable adJustmen:
! of rates, but the opinion obtained IN
dil conservative quarters that this duty
properly devolved on the corporation
commission. and that to leave the mat

would be all assurance to vested rights

heard and judicially determined.
TERMINAL CONDITIONS.
The promised Improvement in te"mi-
nal facilities by the Atlantic Coast Line
are nearing completion, and in the
near future the work of betting the
Dummy Line will be completed 4Di The
new terminals at the old union depot
site finished. With these additional
facilities the congestion in both inCOm-
ing and outgoing freight should be en-
tirely relieved.
The SeabOard Air Line is under
promise to eXpend a quarter million
dollars in terminal betterments. The
matter is assuming shape in the pur-
chase Of valuable wharf property, and
the contemplated improvements midi
cate a purpose on the part Of this SIS
TEN to make Wilmington a port. Such
a contamination would rebound to the
mutual advantage of Wilmington and
the railroads. and it is a commentary
on the short sighted policy Of our rail
road arrangements that Wilmington
has for so long been denied her traffic !
;
The corporation commission has Or ,
dered the :. A. l.. to relay its tracks
between Wilmington and Hamlet, and
with this improvement a long standing
will be removed. The COM :
mission would have ordered these bet
long ago, except that it dill
not have the power, and requisite ,
power was only conferred by the last I
legislature.
Efforts to have the Atlantic Coast /!
Liae and Seaboard Air Line come to
terms respecting a union passenger de-
pot proving of no avail, appeal was
made to the corporation commission. !
After a full hearing of the application !
at Wilmington the commission ordered
the construction Of a union depot of
modern and adequate accommodations.
and. in compliance with the order,
plans are now being perfected fer such
a station.

Pfttsburg Millionaire Says he Has
Letters to Prove Wifs's Cvimes.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. S.-Claimina
that they have letters which passed
between Thomas Nadine, cOachman,
and Mrs. Mary Scott Hartje which will
result In complete reversal Of affairs,
counsel for Augustus Hartje, the
wealthy Pittsburg manufacturer, ap.
peared before the superior court here
to argue on q petition for reopening
the Sensational suit Tor divorce which
he brought against his wife.
Concerning the letters alleged to
have been written by Ida Scott, sis
ter Of Mrs. Hartje. 1t il said they were
addressed to Howard Lappe Of Pitts
burg. It was Lappe who eloped to
youngstown, o., with Ida Scott last
spring, but parental objections prevent
cd the marriage.
Referring to the letters, Augustus
Hartje In an interview at Pittsburg
said:
"The circumstances surrounding the
recovery Of the additional letters leave
no doubt that they are genuine and
establish beyond question that the
charges I made were true. The letters
from Mrs. Hartje's own sister prove
that she knew the charges against the
woman from whom seek divorce
are true. There Is no possible way to
deny the authenticity or genuineness Of
those letters sent to Lappe, and there
IL no doubt that these letters told the
exact situation and that the two sis.
ters could have told such story as to
prove my charges.
"Those stories were written In the
strlctest confidence and tell just the
exact situation and divulge the cOndi
tlon Of affairs when they were written
They were written by girl . 40 ex
pected to become the wife Of the mar
to whom they were written. and thei'
very tone shows them to he just rs we
state. We have the originals. and any
one who has any desire to do so can
see them.
81 have nothing to say about man
who will sell the letters received from
former sweetheart, for that Is what
he did. There may have been circum-
stances which induced him to do as he
did. but the fact remains We have the
letters, which materially help to prove
our case and we own them because We
bought them"
