Inadequate Facilities.

''It may be conservatively stated that
the inadequacy of transportation facii-
ties is little less than alarming; that its
continuation may place an arbitrary limit
upon the future productivity of the land,
and that the solution of the difficult
financial and physical problems involved
is worthy the most earnest thought and
effort Of all who believes in the full de-
velopment of our country and the largest
opportunity for us people"
The work of the commission has in
creased enormously in the past year.
During the year 275 hearings were held
In various parts of the country, against
70 in 1906; and at the hearings $1,000 folios
of testimony were taken. This indicates
an increase of about $50 per cent.
Under an act Of Congress, the commits
sion has awarded eight bronze medals Of

themselves, saved or attempted to save
lives on the lines of interstate carriers.

PERCY BOWIN HAS
EYE ON THE MINISTRY

Percy Bowin, recently acquitted by
a Detroit jury, on murder charge,
has written letter to friend In this
city from his home in Woodville, Ont.
"forgiving" all those who sought to
convict him. Percy says he is going
to enter theological seminary In the
fall and will study for the ministry.
Mrs. James Hornock, friend OF
the Bowin family who was In con-
slant attendance at the trial, called
at police headquarters again Thurs
day afternoon and made another de-
mand for Percy's suit case. The sec
rotary had refused to give II up pre-
viously without a written order from
Bowin. Mrs. Hornock explained,
Thursday, that Percy had sent an
order but she had lost It. She Of
fered the letter as evidence that an
order had been received, but Secre-
tary Nichols informed her politely
but firmly that he would have to sec
the order itself.
Mrs. Hornock stormed out of the
station in fine rage, denouncing the
police in vigorous language.
ITS a downright outrage, that's
what it is" she declared. They
could just as well give me that suit
case as not. II they wanted to. but

his friends all the bother they can.
