REMARKABLE SCENE
ENACTED AT A FUNERAL
Especial to The Sentinel. ]

Pasadena. Cal, Aug. "a re-
markable scene was enacted at the
funeral here yesterday of Frederick
Fackner, veteran of the Civil war,
when Mrs. Florence Grange appeared
at the undertaking parlors where the
services were being held and asked to
be permitted to view the body Just as
the lid of the coffin was about to be
placed upon it.
That is my father" she exclaimed.
as she gazed upon the features of the
dead man.
The woman then told of having
read of the accidental death of Fack-
ner and of having come to invesli-
gate, in the belief that the man might
be her father, whom she had not seen
for 80 years.
With her husband, Mrs. Grange
lives in Brooklyn, N. Y. Two weeks
ago she came to California, and has
been staying in Los Angeles. A wo-
man who had been housekeeper for
Fackner. had claimed his estate
Amounting in value to about $1,000

REMARKABLE SCENIC
ROAD TO Be BUILT
Especial to The Sentinel. ]

Colorado Springs. Colo, Aug. g.
To build a scenic electric railroad to
the summit of Cheyenne mountain.
and thereby furnish another splendid
tourist attraction to Colorado Springs
is the latest enterprise of a number
of Colorado Springs business men.
The road, which is to be three and
one-quarter miles long, will run from
the street car loop at Broadmoor to
the famous Horn" on top of Chey-
enne mountain. The estimated cost
of trackage aud equipment is S225.-
600, but, subsequently, an investment
of 100000 will be represented
through the building of specious
pavilion and large summer hotel on
the summit
An unbroten right-of-way has been
secured, the preliminary surveys
have been made and final surveys are
to be made Immediately so that work
may be started this fall with view
to having the scenic road in full
operation by the beginning of the
tourist season next spring.

That the Interstate Commerce Com
mission be given authority to reguIate
traffic on the Great Lakes is a PROPOSE
ton which is now being seriously ad-
vanced in many quarters. especially
among shippers who are interested in
lake transportation.
The question of just what power the
commission has over the carriers on the
lakes is raised, in way, by a case
which is now being heard. 1t is be-
fore the commission this week. The
case is one of much moment to the
grain ana milling interests al over
the country. Sixty-one milling firms in
Minneapolis and the Northwest. and
forty more milling firms in Duluth and
Superior are the complainants, and all
the roads reaching into that territory
and shipping grain into the Eastern
States or to the Atlantic seaboard are
defendants.
The Minnesota railway and ware

board of trade also are interested in
the case. The milling interests are
complaining that the disparity between

n A @ ELS REMUNERATION
SHOWS TAFT'S FORESIGHT.

According to press dispatches receiv-
ed here from st. Louis today, Charles
Nagel, Secretary of Commerce and La
Dor, admits the truth of the recently
printed story that ten years ago he re
fused a corporations offer of $4,000
a year, with six months vacation, if
he would devote ali his time TO the
service Of that corporation. He was
willing to work for the corporation as
an attorney, but he would not give up
his opportunities for greater and more
diversified activities in his profession.
The offer of $4,000 a year, while a
large one, is not the largest salary ever
offered an attorney. On the contrary,
We believe much larger salaries have
been paid to the lawyers who labored
for corporations. The instructive point
OF the story is that ar. Nagel loved his
profession too much and respected his
own independence too much to allow
himself to be made the servant of one
master. He had devoted his life to the
service OF one mistress, the law, and he
would not be tied down to one master.
There was, Mr.. Nagel thought, rather
more in the world than mere money.
Publication of this story at this time
affords further evidence of how wisely
President Taft sought and selected the
lawyers for his Cabinet when he felt
the crying necessity Of surrounding
himself with men so skilled in the law
that they could help him in readiust-
ing the relations between the Federal
Government and the interstate corpora
tons
If, as seems probable, all the Cabinet
lawyers are as full Of good, red blood
and mfiinching independence as Is Ma
gel, the Cabinet contains men who add
TO their professional eminence a still
greater foree-the force that comes
from a character which exalts principle
above all else in the world.
