She made her submission 20 Rome at
Philadelphia. and is now with com
munity of converts at small town in
Delaware preparatory to being re-
ceived into one of the orders of the
Roman Catholic church.
Her conversion is due largely to the
ministration of DR.. McGarvey of St.
Elizabeths church in Philadelphia

the community until he left to join
the Roman Catholic church.

of nearly all the church schools of

tutions throughout the United States.

RENDER DECISION IN
SUGAR REBATE CASE
COMMERCE COMMISSIONERS
INTERPRET LAW
Allowances for Transfer from RI
fineries to Train Declared to Be
Form of Refund Violating
the Statutes

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-In de-
cision made public today the interstate
commerce commission declares that al
lowances 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 refineries In New York and
those in Philadelphia.
The investigation of the subject was
begun by the commission on its own
initiative. In it's decision the commits
sion lays down four general conclusions
as follows:
al. The commission has jurisdiction
to make an order in any inquiry on its
motion In the same manner and to the
same effect as though complaint has
been made
"2. 1t 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-
safe shippers for performing services
which the shippers are legally bound to
do for themselves is for the carriers to
violate the act.
3. Inc puDuCaIlon OF BIosS anu net
rates would needlessly add to the COM
plexity of tariffs. Wherever 1t is pos
sible for carriers to file a net rate as
such it is their duty to do so.
"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"
1t was disclosed that the payment at
present in New York of Q cents hun
bred pounds to the shippers as carriage
was really in the nature of a rebate
from the through rate fixed by the rail-
roads on shipments of sugar.
The allowances or rebates in one form
or another have been in vogue since
1885 and they range from the present
allowance of 2 cents a hundred pounds
to as high as AZ cents a hundred
pounds.

FIRE MARSHAL CHARGES
BOLD ATTEMPT AT ARSON

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 20-What
City Fire Marshal Towe declared to
be the most daring attempt at arson
he has ever been called upon to hsht
developed early this morning when a
kerosene saturated heap of straw and
other inflammable rubbish with
lighted candle burning in it was dis
covered in d back passageway OF the
Van Ness avenue establishment OF
the Rosenthal Shoe company.
According to Towe it was also found
that the stock shelves at the back of
the store had been sprinkled with oil,
and had the discovery not been made
before the light reached the oil moth
ing could have saved tho place from
total destruction.
The attempt was frustrated by Pa
trolmen Clifford and Kelly and Isidore
Reinheimer, secretary Of the shoe
company.
Reinheimer was notified by the night
Waterman about o'clock this morn
ing that the iron door at the back of
the store was open, although the
wooden barrier which it masks was
still locked.
Reinheimer hurried to the store,
picking up the patrolmen on the way,
and when they entered the store they
saw a light in the passageway and
found the candle and oil-soaked rub
bish.
Fire Marshal Towe began an inves-
tigation of the case as soon as he was
notified, and the store has been guard
ed by the police all day.

follows:
mo one disputes the right of a fair

capacity of prosperous years and the
transportation companies propose to
pay dividends on such stock at all haz-
ards, it becomes a grievous and UNI
bearable burden upon producers, man

who reasonably expect that carriers
should be willing to share the losses
il need be in times of depression like
the present, when producers are
actually carrying over large stocks of
products which cannot find market.
They certainly have a right to ex-
pect that at such a time, If the rail-
roads are unwilling to come to their
relief with emergency rates to help
move the surplus, they shall not, in
common justice nor in honor, lay a
heavier burden in increased freight
rates to cripple the commerce and the
industries OF the state"
