with the public that they will 90 so. In
stead we have practically the same
equipment that was used decade or
SO ago to do half the business that is

Wherever they can they are holding
down the salaries of important agents
and not furnishing them with sufi-
cient help TO do the business that is
every day offered to them. This re-
suits in-great dissatisfaction TO both
consignor and consignee. The numer-
Gus wrecks on the rail roads of passen-
ger trains results from this same mad
commercial spirit and desire to swell
the net profits for time being.

NO INTEREST IN THE PEOPLE.

Absentee ownership and control is a
potent factor in the wrongs of which
the public complains. The people
who own and control the rail roads are
not interested in the country through
which they run, so their attention is
directed solely TO the accumulation of
the net earnings, without regard to the
effect on the community most directly
interested.
Speculation in railroad stocks, both
watered and real, is fruitful source of
wrong. This same overwhel Inning de-
sire to swell net profits for the present
without regard to the rights and and
interest of the people results in inferior
equipment and facilities.
The rules as to making rates seems
to be to charge all that the traffic will
bear, that is to say, just as much as
the consignor and the cOnsignee can
afford to pay to have the goods ship
ped. The question of whether the rate
is Just and reasonable to the public
does not seem to interest them at all.
These remarks apply to the inter state
rate chiefly. In these rates can also be
found the most glaringly unjust dis
examinations, between persons and
places.

OLDEST WOMAN in PARIS
Mime. RObineau, 1O7 Years old, Enjoys
Life and Expects to Live
Longer.

PARIS March 1O.-(Speoial 1.-THE oldest
inhabitant In Paris is said to be Nine.
Robineau, who lives near the Boulevard
Periere She came to this city soon after
the Restoration in 1915 and has never left
it since. She was born in 1900 and is there
fore lO7 years of age.
Her active life ended when she reached
the age of 100, when she moved to the
Boulevard Voltaire and from the Boulevard
Voltaire to her present residence. She has
not left her present residence since she en-
tered it. She is a very pleasant old woman
and declares that at her age she gets
plenty of happiness out of life. She spends
most Of her time in an armchair in a par
lor hung with fine pictures, one of them,
"rhe Virgin with the Rose" by Raphael,
and another, an "Ecce Homo" by Calvert.
Her appetite is still very good and she Is
fond OF snuffing, which she considers the
greatest luxury Of her old age. Her hours
are very regular. Early in the morning she
takes a cup of chocolate and biscuit. At
noon she eats some eggs, mashed potatoes,
or peas and fruit, and in the evening at 6
o'clock, about an hour before she goes to
bed she takes a bowl of soup. Sha drinks
only water, sweetened with a little sugar
and colored with drop of wine. For years
she has scarcely tasted any meat, and
only once in a while she takes a little
breast of chicken On this diet she says
she still expects TO live happily for many
years.

VOYAGE TO THE ANTARCTIC
Motor VIII BE Used, hut SIeighs
Must Try for Magnetic
Pole.

GLASGOW, March 1O-(Special.)-E H.
Shackleton is full of enthusiasm concern
in his proposed anarctic expedition. Much
has still to be settled, however and If this
newest and latest expedition is to sail this
year great deal of hard work will have to
be crowded into the next few months. That
the expedition has been made possible Is
due largely though not exclusively to the
Scotch support which Mr. Shackleton has
been able to secure, and 1t has not es-
capped attention that the west of Scotland
is especially associated with the scheme
through Mr.. William Beardmore and the
Arrol-Johnston company.
The motor car, which the latter is en-
gagged in constructing for use during the
expedition, will be worked by alcohol as
the medium best adapted to the low tenn
perature of the anarctic regions A spe-
cial kind of steel which will not be rendered
brittle by the extreme cold will be em-
ployed in the construction OF the car. As
may be concluded from this latter fact It
is not intended to employ the motor in the
attempt to reach the south magnetic pole.
A sledging party will undertake the latter
task. The introduction OF Siberian ponies
into the anarctic for sledglng purposes,
like the employment of a motor car, Will
admittedly be an experiment, but so was
the Introduction of Siberian dogs, which has
been attended with such favorable results.
No such animals are native TO the lands
within the anarctic circle, which are vastly
more desolate than the arctic region.

OFFICIALS IN BAD PLIeHI
Glasgow Men spend Money and Find
Law Does Not warrant
Act.


GLASGOW. March 10-(special THE un-
certainty Of the law has seldom had a more
telling Illustration than in the case OF the
Glasgow parish committee, which was sur
charged by the local government board
for the cost Of a New Years treat to the
inmates Of Barnhin poorhouse. After an
inquiry II appeared that the councillors sur
charged had signed a check TO provide
funds for the January, 1906 monthly ae-
count in which some Sl0O out of 100000
turned out to be illegal expenditure.
Sheriff Pyle before whom the question
first came, decided that the local govern
ment had not lightly surcharged the sigma
tories OF that check. as Il was not payment
to the tradesmen. On appeal Sheriff Guth-
rie has taken exactly the opposite view
and the unfortunate parish officials are no
nearer knowing where they stand. II is
regarded as being most unfortunate that
the amount Is under S125. so that the sher-
iffs judgment is final, for the case was an
ideal one upon which to take the judgment
Of the supreme court, and IL is imperative
that there should be some ruling upon that
point One OF the three parties now held
liable is the clerk and the Inspector, who
Is bound to countersign checks. That he
should personally be held liable for carry
ing out the instructions OF his board seems
a very absurd result Of the law. The sher-
iff hints that the parish authorities should
not sign checks II they are in doubt OF the
legality Of the purposes for which the
money is to be applied.

CHICAGO. March 1O,--J. A. Monatt, pres

ments against 1t as was published today in
a dispatch from Washington.
ANY such statement is without any truth
or basis of fact whatever" said Mr.
Monatt. THE Standard OIL company is not
frightened by any prospect of conviction.

entertain no distrust of the courage or
hrmness OF either judges OF Juries in the
federal courts. 1t looks TO get the same
fair administration OF the law in these
cases as any other defendant would get and

storm.

NEW YORK, March 1O.-The French line
steamer La savoie. from Havre. March 2,
carrying more than loo passengers, ar
rived here today after perhaps the most
severe experience Of the Transatlantic liners
that have recently reported rough weather
at sea.
The steamer ran into a series of gales
which increased in violence until Thurs
day. when a monster wave swept the main
deck and forced Captain Tournier to bring
his trembling craft to. It drifted eight
hours before the voyage could safely be
resumed.
This wave. which measured the officers
say. about fifty feet in height broke over
the ship from the forward port side. In
a moment tons of water flooded the vessel
shattering a heavy oak door which opened
into the corridor outside the smoking sa-
loon. Great volumes Of water rushed in,
swept along the corridor and then poured
down the grand stairway into the main
dining salon. The heavy iron stairway
leading from the main deck down to the
promenade deck was washed away with
the food. Occupants Of the smoking room
were thrown from their feet and when
upon recovering themselves they opened
the door to learn what had happened, the
water from the corridor rushed In upon
them. It invaded the cabins and state
rooms, many OF them being flooded to q
depth Of several feet.
