Three hundred spicls and span young

and the latest designs in leckwear

Chief Rhinelander Waldos police force
Tho civil service examiners who were
sent here to sift out the applicants had
a hot pace set out for them. Many
of the candidates were college grad
uates.
A large percentage wanted TO get
on the mounted squad. The general
sentiment was that to be an aqueduct
policeman under Waldo was equivalent
to summer vacation in the healthful
and inspiring Catskills with s1OC
a month pin money thrown in.
The candidates went through ply
sical examination by DR.. j. P. Warbasa
a New York police surgeon. When he
saw practiced and skilled athletes
fresh from the gymnasium and football
fields lined up before him, and observed
the ease with which many OF them
took his tests, he exclaimed:
This body of men is one of the very
best 1 ever looked over. They are
healthy, we'll developed. and it is evi-
dent that they do not live in the New

WASHINGTON, March 1.--From pres
ent indications. the successor of Henry
Yates Satterlee as Episcopal Bishop of
Washington will be Bishop Charles H.
Brent, Missionary Bishop In the Philip
pine Islands for the last five years.
Bishop Brent made most favorable
impression on Washington churchmen
in his recent visit here just before the
tercentenary at Richmond FAST fall. and
his recognized business acumen, coupled
with his cmlnence as a churchman, has
placed him first In the minds of the
leaders of the church in the national
capital.
The convention for the election OF
Bishop Satterlee's successor Will meet
In this city early In May. In connec-
tion with the present vacancy three
other names are mentioned, but there
is such a strong sentiment in favor OF
the selection OF Bishop Brent that his
call to the head of this important do
cese Is regarded as almost a certainty.
The other names are those of Bishop
William Andrew Leonard, of Ohio: tho
Right Rev. Alexander MackaySmith,
Coadjutor Bishop of Pennsylvania. for
merly Washington clergyman. and
the Rev. DR.. William NJ. Grosvenor,
rector of the Church of the Incarna-

II Every Advance Should Be

Wy WASHINGTON. March 1.-Re-
" spending to a letter of in
AA/ quiry from the Interstate
Wv Commerce Committee of the
Senate, the Interstate Com
merce Commission has written a letter
taking position in opposition to SEN
ator Fulton's bill prohibiting railroad
companies from advancing rates in the
face OF protest made by shipper un-
til the commission shall have passed
on the reasonableness of the Increase.
ITO give to the protest of single
shipper the effect OF preventing the
advance OF any rate until the reason
ab'eness of that advance was affrma-
lively determined by the commission"
says the letter. would establish a
hard and fast rule of doubtful fairness
to the railroads and questionable ad-
vantage to the public. Under existing
conditions we are of the opinion that
il would be unwise to adopt the arbi-
trary limitation which this bill pro-
poses whatever may be found desirable
or necessary in this regard in the fu-
ture."
The commission also finds an objec-
ton to the bill in a possibility of in
creased burdens upon the commission.
On this point 1t says:
III every proposed advance had to
be Investigated by the commission and
officially sanctioned before IL could take
effect, the number of cases to be con-
sidered would presumably be so great
as to render their prompt disposition
almost impossible. In instances of
justitiable increase the necessary delay
resulting from the probable volume OF
cases would work injustice TO the car
riers. Until conditions become more
stable and the substantive provisions
Of the act are more completely OBJ
serbed in railway tariffs and practices,
we entertain belief that wider
latitude of discretion on the part of
carriers than this measure allows
s-.ould be permitted
The commission also suggests as a
possible effect of the bill the preven-
tion of voluntary reductions of rates.
If. they say. mo rate could be In
creased without the approval of the
commission after Affirmative showing
by the carrier 1t might happen that
many reductions now voluntarily ac-
corded would not be made,

months, almost TO the point of asking
for receivers. In the opinion of rail-
way officials expressed at the hearing
under oath and in private conversation
this condition does not seem to have
been due to the enforcement of regu-
lative laws or to the incapacity of rail-.
way management.
Most of the railroad officials attri.
butte the difficulty to the unfortunate
banking situation which developed last
Septeml er. The railways did not feel
the stringency in money until about the
first of November. In fact, the month
of October was one of the best in the
history of the business of American
laiiroading.
One railway official ventured the
statement that in the country to-day
there were 100000 idle cars. One line
which he instanced was declared to be
hauling empty cars backward and for
ward because 1t had no sidings to ac-
commodate them. Not a single official
of single railway who appeared be-
fore the commission. however, expressed
the belief that the present industrial
depression would be lasting. In the
testimony ofrnearly every witness be-

practically uniformly express confidence
that the return Of prosperity will be
