Allowances Made For
 Transfer Are RebafeS

Washington, December 2o.-In de- cision made public today the inter- state commerce commission declares that allowances for the transfer of sugar from refineries to the trains are essentially rebates, and in violation of the law.
 This important determination was reached by the commission only after several months of consideration of the matter of allowances for the transfer of sugar and so far as the commission is concerned brings to an end con- troversy which has long existed be- tween the refneries in New York and those in Philadelphia.
 The investigation of the subject was begun by the commission on it's own initiative. No complaint was filed, but what was regarded as the injustice and illegality of the allowances for trans fer or carriage were called to the at tention of the commission with view to eliminating them. In it's decision the commission lays down four gen eral conclusions as follows:

7aff Denies Making Up
 Cabinets For Present

Augusta, December 20.-The President elect said tonight that he was still in- nocent of being the source of inspired" or "authoritative'' cabinet stories. His cabinet, he said, had acquired no addi- tional members since the Knox announce ment, no offers of positions were pending, nor had he made any decisions with re- spect to making offers.
 That a Taft summer colony may be es- tablished somewhere on the New Eng land coast is the earnest hope of the President-elect. He tonight said that he had no intention of summering on Long Island; that while no active endeavors were being made at present, it was the desire of himself and brothers to find some place on the New England coast which would as near as possible dupli- cate the very desirable conditions the family had so long enjoyed during the summer months at Murray Bay, Canada. There each of the Taft brothers have cottages. If the appropriate place can be found and earnest efforts to this end will be made later, the four brothers, William F., Charles F., Henry w. and Horace D., will locate together, that their outdoor exercise and congenial fam-

MAJ. 0. J. SMITH
 DIES IN NEW YORK

New York, December 2O.--Major Orlando Jay Smith, president and general man. ager of the American Press association since 1862, died at his home in Dobbs Ferry tonight Major Smith has been ill since September at which time he was operated on for cancer of the stomach but throughout his illness he retained his interest in daily events.

Later he bought the Express of Terre Haute, removing the paper in 1878 to Chicago. In 1882 he founded the Amer ican Press association, and from that time until his death Major Smith was the active head of the association

STAR WITNESS IN
 DIVORCE TRIAL

Baltimore, December 20.-(Special )-Mrs. Tabitha Wilson was the star witness yes terday in the divorce suit brought by her husband, Dr. P. B. Wilson, Jr., in which he named former United States Senator Wellington as correspondent.
 It had been testified to by Miss Lillian Davis that she had seen Wellington with his arm about Mrs. Wilson and that upon another occasion she had seen the former senator go to Mrs Wilson's room minus his hat coat, collar and shoes. To all these Mrs. Wilson entered a sweeping de- nial and placed the blame for all her troubles on Miss Davis.
 She testified that her husband had placed a revolver at her head and threat ened to shoot her if she dld not desist in her efforts to have Miss Davis get out of the house. It was proven by other witnesses that Miss Davis spent most of her .ime at the home of the Wilson's The wife told how her husband had attempted to starve her into subms- sion and how he had failed to provide for the support of her chlld.
 Mrs Wilson's fs>Her t9htified that MT. Wilson lived at his home before he mar ried his daughter. but that he never paid any board and that the suit he wore at the wedding and the gifts he gave his daughter had been bought on the install- ment plan.

STANDARD OIL
 INVADES LONDON

London. December 20.-Great interest is being expressed in London at the enter prise of the Anglo-American oil com pany, which Is the name of the principal British branch of the Standard, in in- vading for business purposes one of the most exclusive and aristocratic sections of the West End. The company is start ing the erection of two large buildings fronting on the south side of St. James park at the entrance known as Queen Anne's gate. The park is faced on the west by Buckingham palace, while the foreign offices, the admiralty buildings and a group of residences of high officials overlook the opposite end.
 The ancient St. James palace, Marlbor- ough House, the residence of the Prince of Wales, Clarence House, the Duke of Connaught's home, and Carlton House terrace, where the German embassy, the residence of Mrs Clarence Maclxay. Mrs. Potter Palmer and other notables are situated, range along the north side of the park. The Standards buildings are on the south side opposite the German embassy and command a fine view of the ponds and walks
 The Standard is the first commercial firm to gain a foothold on St. James park, and undoubtedly it paid well for the premises 1t will occupy.

fly life and association may be carried on as it has been heretofore.
 MT. Horace Taft owns a place at Vain scott, L. l., but the President-elect said tonight that this was not desirable place for the plans contemplated thus confirm ing what Mr. Horace D. Taft has said himself.
 President-elect and Mrs. Taft attended services today at St. Pauls Episcopal church, which was established in it's present location in 1735 by the Church of England, which at the time owned the entire site of the city of Augusta The Rev Dr. Whitney, the pastor, preached a temperance sermon, as did all other local ministers here today. The laxity of enforcing the state prohibition laws of Georgia Is given as the cause of the cru- sade in Augusta. pr. Whitney frankly admitted the law to be bad in part, drastic, and in some respects fanatical," nevertheless, he said, ''it Is the law and ought to be obeyed. If it is a bad law, it's rigid enforcement is the surest means of getting it repealed or amended"
 After the services MT. and Mrs. Taft met many of the church people and spent some time in the ancient graveyard, where are tombstones nearly two cen turies old. An automobile ride with Mrs. Thomas occupied the afternoon.

PREPARING WILL
 BE GIVEN TO ROAD

Chicago, December 20.-At the request of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad the interstate commerce commits sion has agreed to grant rehearing Of the case in which that body ruled against the railroads right to transport free of charge supplies to hotels along it's lines, with which it has contracts When the rehearing will be begun is not stated The ruling, if adhered to, it is said would make it impossible to maintain more than ten hotels which have been established between Chicago and the Pacific coast with view of taking care of trans-con- tinental travellers on the Santa Fe route. The railroad company explained that it was found impractcable to carry diners clear across the continent and that it had to provide the hotels for the con- venience of the public. Many of the hotels are located in sections which are practically deserts and consequently the supplies have to be carried a long dis tance.

Washington, December 2O.-Cold figures gathered by the bureau of statistics show that the average American citizen con- sumes half his own weight in sugar every year, and Uncle sam's sugar bill aver ages 8, 100000 a day.
 A statement issued by the bureau reads more like popular fiction than the ordi- nary government report. The total con- sumption of sugar in the United States in 1907, which is the latest year for which statistics are available, reached the al- most unthinkable figure of 7,0S9661975 pounds.
 The statement shows that 2l.3 per cent. or in round numbers 1,511, ,O00000 pounds of the sugar consumption of the country was of home production; 17.7 per cent, or r. 254, 900 OO0 pounds, was brought from our insular possessions. and the remaining 61 per cent, or 4,S67, ,OOO 900 pounds, came from foreign countries. Forty-three million pounds was the aggregate of the exporta- ton of sugar from this country
 The United States sugar record for 1907 was unique in that the quantity of that

 "2. It is not a part of the carriers duty to bear the expense of transfer of goods from the shipper to the carrier. For carriers to undertake to compen sate shippers for performing services which the shippers are legally bound to do for themselves is for the carriers to violate the act.

 A. The allowances here considered are rebates. and violate the law. No order is issued. but the carriers are ex- pected to conform to the law without delay"
 No order will be made at this time. the report concludes, but the commis- sion will expect the carriers in question at once to conform their tariffs and practices to the principles here am nounced.
