Many queer people visit Washington and
invariably drift into the great white capt.
tol building. During the sessions of the
last congress Statuary hall was visited
daily by a queer little man who spent sew
eral hours on each visit addressing the
statues. He finally became known to the
capitol policemen as the little statue
man." Approaching the figure Of General
Washington and raising his hat politely, he
would say: Good morning, George. !
hope you are well today. The trusts are
still making trouble for the people. I wish
you would raise your voice against the
giant evil
Then, proceeding to the statue Of Fulton,
who is represented as working on the
model Of his first steamboat, the little fell
low would remark; All, how dye do,
Robert? / see you are still hard at work
on your invention. 1t is time, Robert, you
were taking up flying machines and auto
mobiles. Steamboats, are becoming obso-
lete."
Next he would approach the handsome
| bronze statue of General Phil Kearny and
say: Too bad you were shot, general. You
are a gallant follow and made a noble
fight to uphold the honor Of the flag" And
so he would pass from one statue to an
other. making a little speech to each. This
queer fellow was harmless and the police
never disturbed him, but curious crowds
would gather and listen TO him as he spoke
with earnestness to the inanimate figures
Of metal and stone.

Washington Life
Short Sketches Of Incidents and
Of Events AZ the Nations Capital.

Leaving out Of the account the larger
results Of its labors, the creation and
maintenance OF the Interstate Commerce
commission can he justified by the smaller
deeds which escape general attention. The
Washington correspondent of the Brooklyn
Eagle declares that the commission has
compelled railroads to refund hundreds OF
thousands Of dollars Of excessive freight
and passenger charges. and cites a few
cases typical Of the commissioner daily
routine.
Every few days the commission issues a
batch of orders. They represent complaints
filed with that body by individuals pro-
testing against excessive charges on ship
ments OF goods by the railroads. on Fri
day last eighteen such orders were issued
by the commission, and one-half Of them
were notices Of refunds by. railroads Of
over charges required by the commission.
The refunds in some cases were appar-
emily trifling-only $3.50 in one instance,
and ranging as high as $500 in another.
There have been about 1900 orders of
this kind representing compulsory refunds,
In the two and one-half years OF the oper-
alton OF the rate law. There have been,
In addition, nearly 5000 other cases of
restitution Where the railroads maze no
protest against satisfying the claims made
by shippers. The total refund of over
charges in these cases runs we'll up toward
a million dollars. This does not include, of
course, the enormous savings of cash to
big shippers growing out of general rulings
by the commission, laying down orders of
broad application. In these cases the COM
mission has saved many millions of dollars
to shippers and incidentally the consuming
public,

Dollar contributions to the fund are
solicited from the public at large. A tan
gible evidence of the part that the man,
woman or child who contributes is taking
in the movement is a handsome engraved
certificate or receipt setting forth that he

THE general public,' said a member of
the commission, lis rapidly learning that
the laws prevent the railroads from goug-
ing individuals who want to send goods by
freight. Tn folks out west appreciate
this more thoroughly than fasteners do,
and are constantly appealing to us to keep
the roads in check. They understand that
II they are over-charged to any amount, no
matter how small, they can compel the
roads to make restitution. Here is a case
In point which explains the operation of
the law and tells how every nan or house
wife may be protected:
Mr.. Smith, residing at Alexandria, Va,
wants to ship some household goods to
Philadelphia. Without knowing the rate,
we will assume that he is charged by the
local freight agent 20 cents per hundred
rate, but gets no satisfaction, and his
goods are forwarded at that rate. He
writes a letter to the commission, conf
planning that in his opinion the proper
charge should have been Is cents per nun
dred pounds. The commission writes az
once to the nearest railroad official, and
the latter, on examining the schedule, -
apt to conclude that the shipper was over
charged. Whereupon, he notifies the COM
mission that the point is well taken, and
that a refund covering the difference will
be made"
Omaha daily bee., 1909-05-13

There is a second class of refunds where
the railroads protest against making re-
stitution. When complaint is made ~ the
commission and the over-charge is denied
by the railroads. the government under
takes to fight the battle of the shipper.
A hearing is arranged and on the evidence
taken the commission issues an order d.
recting a refund when the facts justify il.
Nearly $500 such orders have been issued.
Frequently the amounts involved are not
more than SIS or $50. 1t is surprising to
observe the large number of cases wherein
the commission, after weeks of deliber-
alton. directs a payment of s., $40, $2 or
SIS. 1t is apt to strike the observer as a
trifling benefit to the public in view Of
the expensive governmental machinery that
is maintained for this purpose.
The largest refund, directed by the COM
mission, involved the Southern Railroad,
the Seabord Air Line, the Louisville and
Nashville and other railroads operating
in the south and southwest. 1t was es-
tablished that the roads We're making an
excessive charge on shipments of soft pipe
and the commission ordered restitution
amounting to $3.50, 900. The roads fought
this order to a finish and carried il to the
United States Supreme Court, so that the
shippers had to wait a long while for their
money.
