sented il appeared TO this commission
that such service should be Instituted.
The question of the jurisdi Ction OF the
Interstate Commerce Comm sSion TO or
der such service Was raised, and upon
this question a hearing wis given to
the Washington Railway ard Electric
Company, at which IL was contendeG
that an order to such effect was beyond
the power Of the commission under the
language of section 16- The act itself
seems to bear intrinsic evidence that
it was not the purpose Of the Congress
to vest such authority In the commits
sion our power being limited 70 the
making of rules and regulations which
shall insure a sufficient number Of com
Portable and convenient cars and their
operation at such speed as 70 give ex-
peditious passage. in view of the un-
certain language of the act We suggest
that il be so amended as TO clearly in-
dlcate what power. If any in this re-
gard the Congress WISHES to bestoW
upon that body 10 which the regulation
of car service Within this District may
be granted.

Consider It fortunate.

We regard II as extremely fortunate
Gor all that We were able to secure the
services Of gentlemen of such high
standing as those who compose the Dis
trtct Electric Railway Commission. II
Is, Of course, to be understood that they
are acting only in an advisory capacity,
ana without power to deal directly with
the subjeCt-matter Of the statute, ex-
oepting ia 90 Tar as they are empow-
cred to hold needed hearings ard gather
the facts necessary wisely and justly to
advise with this commission.
1t is to be said further that they Of
fered their services gTatuitously, but In
order fully 60 comply with the law d
very suaU salary has been fixed for
them by this commission
That the Congress may have knowl-
edge or the extent and character OF the
complaints made against the street rail-
way companies, and which have been
given consideration, we have called upon
the District Electric Railway Commits
sion TO make a report, VIII ch win be

hereof.
Our experience with this problem leads
US To the conclusion that ii is advisabla
for the Congress to vest the duties I'M
posed upon this commission by the act
or May g. 1908, IN a commission or body
more closely Identified with the District
Of Columbia, and which will be enabled
20 give more immediate attention TO the

JACKSON, Ky. Nov. 2-The stu

crockettsyille is the feudal seat of
former Sheriff Ed. Callahan and
Berry Turner and other alleged

Telephone wires between Jackson
and crockettsville were cut this
morning. Before the wires were cut
1t was reported from Crockettsyillc
and Sebastian's Branch that two at
tempts had been made to steal the
ballots. One was successful, when
the home of Mary Dealin, who held
the ballots for one precinct, was de-
stroyed by fire and the ballots burn

from jackson.
1t was reported Captain Sans and
a detail of mllltiamen were in the

The Panguitch fruit has not suffered
much by the frosts and prospects are
that there will be as good a crop as was

There Is plenty of water and to spare.

The Hatch reservoir project is near

Is done, it will afford a grand opening
for people desiring homes to get them
much cheaper than they can procure
them elsewhere.
