Milwaukee News
When the Hepburn bin was pending
before congress, President Stickney of
the Chicago & Great Western railway
observed that there were in the vicinity
of 100000 separate freight rates in
force in the United States and that as
the interstate commerce commission in
the past had disposed of rate hearing
at the rate of four year he surmised
that governmental regulation of freight
rates would prove disappointing to
those that expected that under the new
law the commission would scrutinize
every rate and veto those rates that it
should deem unreasonable.
1t develops that Mr.. Stickney was a
better prophet than the statesmen that
assured us that with the passage of the
Hepburn act the railways would be
brought under complete governmental
control and regulation and insure to the
public reasonable freight rates.

China Helps to Convert Arkansas.

Baltimore Star.
Unlimited fields of speculation are
opened by the receipt of 500 from China
for missionary work in the Episcope
diocese of Arkansas, whence comes the
cyclones. Is John Chinaman poking a
SLY dig in the ribs of Uncle Sam, or is
he in earnest in his desire for the res
cue of ''infidel" Arkansas? Is John
limiting that missionary work, like
charity, should begin at home? Can
the contribution be an intimation that
he considers America as much in need
of the uplft as Uncle Sam considers
China? Verify, "the heather Chinee
is peculiar, but his missionary dona-
ton leaves a bitter taste in the mouth.

Grievance Against U. S. Senators.

The very Indifference of the senate
to public opinion and to the wishes or
appeals of new senators to be allowed
to serve on leading committees and to

cause Of the present agitation in num-

COUNCIL HASTENS TO
PASS TONSORIAL LAW
BARBER SHOPS TO BE MADE
SANITARY
Members of City Government Want
Ordinance Passed to Keep Shaw
ing Parlors in Proper
Condition

With only few weeks more of their
terms to serve the members of the
city council are doing work they Should
have done months ago and are trying
to clean up so that there viii be no
'hang- for their successors IN
office to handle in manner that might
not be according to the present couh-
ellis ideas of Wnat should be done.
TO clean up work that is months
old the special barber committee, conf
posed of Dromgold, Healy and Eon-
kin, held a meeting yesterday after
noon and decided to ask the health
department to frame an ordinance
regulating barber shops from a sanl-
tary point of view.
The ordinance viii not contain a
clause requiring barber shops to close
SUNDAYS. a thing the BARRIERS union
has been trying to induce the council
to do for a year or more. In fact
there will be nothing in the ordinance
in any way faVorng the unions, the
personnel of the committee, 1t is said,
being a guarantee for that. Niles
Pease, president of the council, who
has little use for the unions, was es-
pecially careful in selecting this COM
mittee. Yonkin is a strong anti-union
man, Dromgold has no particular
leaning toward organized labor, and
Healy does. not care whether man
belongs to a union or not as long as
he is a workingman.
But the unions are in favor of the
sanitary measures that it is proposed
to inject into the ordinance, and these
measures will cut out many of the cheap
barber shops where towels are used
frequently before being washed, in
stead of only once, as the ordinance
will propose.
Representatives of both the union
and anti-union BARRIERS were present at
the conference.
As soon as the board of health has
suggested the provisions for the ordi-
nance the city attorney will be asked
to present it before the councils term

STEN0GRAPHER IN HEALTH
OFFICE FILES PROTEST
Says Civil Service Examiner Gave
Other Men Higher Percent
age to Detriment of
Himself

p. \. Dorgan, stonographer and telephone
operator in the health department, who holds
his position as a sixty-day emergency APP
pontee, contested the certihcation of two
other applicants for his position when the
health board asked for certificate from the
civil service department last night.
Under civil service regulations, Wheh thefe
are no eligibles on the list for vacant po-
clifton. that position may be filled by ap-
pointment for not more than sixty Gays,
and in the meantime an eXaminatoen Is CalIeu
for the position. After Dorgan's appointment
the civil service department held an eNamna-
teon for the position he holds. at whch time
three men were examined. They were T. /.
de Varnoa r. j. Fale and p. A. Dorgan. IL
usually happens that the emergency appointee
is certified for the position after the eHami-
nation for. although he may be lower in some
of his markings than the other applicants, ne
is given a certain per cent for experience that
brings Up his average, ana II he is one OF the
two high men who certified he is chosen
to fill the place permanently. But in this case
Dorgan's average was below that of the other
two contestants. De Narona rated 90.l,
Fac sl1 and Dorgan 706. An applicant must
be above 70 per cent or he fails in his eXami-
nation.
Wnen the health board asked the civil SER
vice department for a certificate of elgibles
last night De Varona and Fale were cert-
fed, but DorEan's name did not appear.
Dorgan filed a letter in which he claims
that Examiner Dee did not rate him fairly
and he gave a list OF what he considered
should have been his markings, which would
average IS per cent. He also alleged that
Fale did not take the examination for the
health department, but for the aqueduct de-
partment. and that he wrongly put on
the health department list. II his idea that
his average should be 20 per cent and that
Fale was wrongly certified is true, then Dor
gan will have been on the list although
second to De Varona. He also declared that
the other two applicants had not been in the
city year, but this is immaterial, as a civil
service rule provides that II an applicant
files an affidavit Of intention TO make Los
Angeles his residence ,Le years residence
rule is suspended
The board Of health will wait for the civil
service department to clear up the contest
before making an appointment and Dorgan
will be retained in his position until it is
