spending to letter of inquiry to the
interstate commerce of the senate,
the commission has written a letter
taking a position in opposition to
Senator Fulton's bill prohibiting rail-
road companies from advancing rates
in the face Of a protest by shipper
until the commission shall have pass
ed upon the reasonableness of the in
crease.
'"To give to the protest of single
shipper the effect of preventing the
advance of any rate until the reason
ableness of that advance was affirm.
ately determined by the commission"
says the letter, would establish a
hard and fast rule of doubtful fair
ness to the railroads and questionable
advantage to the public. Under ex-
listing conditions we are of the opin-
ion that 1t would be unwise to adopt
the arbitrary limitation which this
bill proposes, whatever may be found
desirable or necessary in this regard
in the future"

Berne, Switzerland, March 2.-An
avalanche descended yesterday near
the village of Goppenstein. The enor-
nous atmospheric pressure which &C
companied IL demolished a hotel at
Lochberg tunnel, killed thirteen per.
sons and injured fifteen others.
The occupants of the hotel were sur.
prised while seated at the table by
sinister rumblings. Almost immedi-
ately two children rushed into the din
ing room and screamed IAN avalanche,
an avalanche!" There was a rush to
escape, but the building which was OF
temporary nature, collapsed with
out warning. Both of the children
were killed along with many OF those
they sought to save. Among the
others killed was an American en-
gineer named Mervarr, who was in.
Sailing an American machine to be
used in tunneling.
The hotel had been erected by the
tunnel contractors for the convenience
of fneITeers and others engaged in
construction work. There were no
tourists there. The village postoffice
and police station also were seriously
damaged by the air wave and were
keeled over to an angle Of forty-five
degrees, making occupancy impossible.
The tunnel works were not damaged.
