is construed as equivalent 20 saying
that an industrial concern must not
own a railroad.
Constituting this law, the Interstate
Commerce Commission recently heid
that a private road cannot charge for
its service and pro-rate the charge with
a regular railroad This means that an
industrial concern which owns its own
switching road must operate that prop
erty without any benefits. To own such
a road must become a dead loss.
The other day a force OF ffty-siX ex-
perts was set at work 10 figure out the

PUT SUMMER GARB
ON HIS SIGNATURE
mot So Pretty, But So
Easy, Don't You Know"
Says w. L. Moore.

Willis L. Moore, chief OF the Weather
Bureau, and Acting Secretary Of the
Department of Agriculture. who has
long had much pride in his euphoniOus
name. and has insisted on writing i in
full on all official papers. is no longer
happy.
He has been compelled to abbreviate
his signature to w. L. Moore, because
of the sheer physical task of signing the
great volume of correspondence and
official papers as the acting head Of the
department in the absence of Secretary
Wilson. as well as to look out for the
correspondence and work of his own
bureau
Took Short Cut

sat at his desk afhxing the abbreviated
form of signature to the official papers,

his face as the result OF the torrid
weather his bureau is INJECTING on the

Mr.. Moore regrets that he has been
forced to give up his surname. Willis.
as he says that is what especially dis
tinguished him from the balance OF the
large Moore family in the country.
which. like the Smith name, is largely
overworked and taken by itself means
nothing, so far as distinction goes.
Another thing" said Mr. Moore, I
have only heard of one other person in
the country by the name of Willis L.
Moore, and this almost gave me a
monopoly on it's use, but 1 will have 70

Bonaparte Signs All.
Charles J. Bonaparte. Attorney Cen
eral, is said to be the only member Of
the Cabinet who insists on writing his
name in full on all official and other
documents. Others who held to the full
form have long since retreated in order,
and taken the shortest cut.
Charles Emory Smith, who came down
from Pennsylvania to run the Post
office Department under the Mckinley
administration, held on to his full name
as long as possible, and gave in TO the
necessities of the occasion with great
reluctance. He first curtailed ii to Oh.
Emory Smith, but before going out
of office had taken refuge behind the
shorter but less attractive signature.

COREY SLIGHTED BY MOTHER
Steel Trust Magnate Not Invited to
Wedding of His Sister.

Philadelphia.-Neither William Ellis
Corey nor his second wife. who was Ma
belle Gilman, an actress, was invited
to attend the marriage of the steel mag
mates sister, Miss Ada u. Corey. to Dt.
Charles Howard Aufhammcr, which TOOK
place at the country estate Of the brides
mother near Downington. Pa, monday.
Mrs. Corey frankly admitted that owing
to the division that resulted in her fam.
lily from the action of her son, William
Ellis Corey, in divorcing his first wife
and then marrying Mabelle Gilman,
none of Miss Corey's brothers or sis.
ters was asked to be present at her
wedding"
The desire for a quiet ceremony, in
fact, was so pronounced that a dozen
bulldogs were stationed about the es-
tate to keep out intruders.
1t has long been known that Mr..
Corey's sisters and brothers have never
pardoned him for his second marriage.
From a friend of the family it was
learned that Mrs. Corey feared an un-
pleasant situation would doubtless be
created if her son and his second wife
should meet his brothers and sisters at
her daughters wedding, and rather than
have anything occur that might cast a
shadow upon the ceremony, had made
up her mind that neither side should be
invited.
Despite the fact that Mrs. Corey. tho
brides mother, did not mince words
when she asked her son and wife to
keep a safe distance, Corey sent his sis
ter check for 100000, which was ac.
cepted, and his wife sent beautifuf
diamond brooch as present.

the short space OF eight months was the
startling disclosure made mt his trial
Monday in the United States criminal
court on the charge OF alleged violation
of the federal banking laws. In one
month OF all the loans and discounts
made by the bank tr, proceeds OF I7.j
per cent Of them went to the credit of
the ice man, and with the whole OF this
vast amount he was practically doing
nothing but gambling in the stock mar
kst.
Apart from these revelations, the most
interesting developments of the days
proceedings were the appearance ON the
witness stand of Miss Wilson, Morse'a
stenographer, and the testimony of Mrs.
Alfred c. Curtis, wife OF tine former
president of the National Bank of North
America, who is co-defcndant with
Morse in this case.

Texas Doctor a Picturesque Figure

physician is held by his neighbors is
attested in a way by the fact that he
was urged to make the trip to Wash
ington by and at the expense OF his
friends in and near San Marcus. The
fund to pay the expense OF the trip
was not contributed by any one philan-
throphically inclined person, but by
the entire community. The money was
raised by a popular subscription.
The doctor came to Washington on
the special train OF the Texas delega-
tion, and during the week was an In
terested, as well as an interesting, par
tcipator In the proceedings and dem
onstrations OF the congress.
Another enthusiastic Texas delegate
was DIR. w. T. Jones OF Fort Davis.
The day before DIR. Jones left his home
at Fort Davis to come to Washington
he rode horseback As miles into the
country to see a patient. The round
trip was 80 miles. The following day
he rode 60 miles TO the railroad sta
ton. where he Joined the other dele
gates bound for Washington. The doc
tor. being used to such experiences,
was not greatly fatigued by his two
trips through the country.
