the politicians OF the several States mac
used the issue TO gain public support.
Better service, much more than lower
rates, ne beDcvcd, was what the travel
ing public really desired.
The political demand for reduced pas
senge- fares has obtained a cCg; ain
measure Of popular support. IL is in
cNitable that TINS should Oe true. Tor
u Is natural that Every man should de-
sire to get the most for his money whCn
he Is buying passenger ticket the
Same as when he is buying a suit Of
clothes ~ anything else.
Political Agitation.
Public support has also been won By
the persistent political agitation OF this
subject. Just as a nervous man may
be convinced that he is seriously ill., so
4 certain element Of the public has been
convinced by this political agitation that
is suffering from unreasonably high
passenger fares.
The extent of the popular support
given to this political demand has. how
ever, been greatly exaggerated.
He also referred to the inability of the
reads TO market their securities salts
factorily in view II the present agita-
ton, showing that while demands for
lower rates and better service were be-
ing mace, the roads could not get In
vestors TO provide for the necessary ex-
tensions and Improvements.
Government Control.
On the subject OF Government control
OF railroads he said:
The railways are properly the sub
ject Of Governmental regulation. hut
this regulation must be based on
sound economic and business principles.

ton Of the buyer of transportation and

Of the United States. which has thrown
about the railways of the country the
same degree Of protection that is as
sured To property in all other forms.
ana into conflict with those economic
laws which are as interchangeable and as
constant IN their operation as is the law

CHILDREN BETTING
At SHEEPSHEAD BAY

NEW YORK. June 2O-The residents
of Sheepshead Bay who represent the
religious element assert that while the
combined efforts of the district attor-
ney's Office and the police department
are being exercised to abolish pool
rooms. the city is supporting a school
where the children learn all the drtifiCes
OF race track gambling.
The real trouble Is the location OF
public school IS. The building. a four
story brick structure of imposing APP
pearancc. is situated at the foot of East
Twenty-sIXth street. Not 200 feet away
Is the celebrated racecourse. every foot
OF which is I'm plain view OF the school
room windows.
II is admitted that the boys, and even
many Of the girls. are more familiar
with the names and records Of the
famous racers, their owners and train
ers than they are with their textbooks
Threats of expulsion, made individual
", have failed TO stop the boys from
making handbooks, taking as wagers
marbles, pennies. pencils. or anything
OF which d schOolbOy might be expected
10 be possessed.
The girls are equally as enthusiastic
as the boys In this so-called kindergar-
ten school Of gambling.

Had Permission to Go
to Lawyers Office, But
Nowhere Else.

SAN FRANCISCO. June 29.-Eugene
l.. SchElitz violated the order of court
permitting him to visit only the offices
of his attorneys cor consultation
For two hours he was secretly at his
home at Vallejo and Pierce streets.
There he took luncheon. receiving
guests. and answered telephone calls.
He was accompanied by Deputy Sheriff
Bedan.
The result of This breaking OF the
order of the court means that Schmitz
probably will hnd himself deprived OF
his liberty until his petition for bail is
decided by the supreme court. Sheriff
O'Neil may be disqualified for permit
ting Schmitz TO disobey the court, and
an eIisor, as in the Ruef trial, may be
appointed TO take his place. In that
case Schmitz may be kept a close pris-
oner in his own home, guarded by an
elisor. or may be kept an the county
Jail without the privilege Of departing
TO consult with his attorneys.
For these two hours Schmitz was an
escape" lie was subject 10 capture
10y any private citizen. The fact that
he was accompanied by a deputy
sheriff in no way leavencd the fact that
Lc was during this time a fugitive from
justice. The accounting Will come be
