Washington, Jan. 25-One of the
most important decisions by the inter
state commerce commission for many
months was handed down today by that
body in ordering a material reduction
of railroad rates in the cases of the
Beatrice Creamery company and others,
and the Fairmont Creamery compan:
against the Illinois Central and other
railroads, and the Blue Valley Cream
cry company, ETC., against the Michi-
gan Central railroad company and OF

The commission sustained the con-
tention of the complainants, who oper-
ate creameries using the certralizer
method, whereby supplies of cream are
obtained by railroads, as distinguished
from the local creamery method which
obtains cream by wagon, that the rates

HOW MR. MOONEY WAS KILLED.
The many friends in Bismarck OF
the North Dakotans on board the
steamship Republic which was ram
med and sunk by the steamer Florida
early Saturday morning were terribly
shocked Monday when the news was
received that w. J. Mooney was killed
and that Mrs. Murphy was seriously
injured.
Mr.. MONEYS son, John, is we'll
known in this city, having recently
resigned as deputy bank examiner,
to take the cashiership Of one of his
fathers banks at International Falls,
MINI.
Details of how these people met
with this calamity are lacking but the
following is supposed to have been
the cause as set out in press dis
patch to the Grand Forks Herald:
William j. Mooney, of Langdon, N.
D., one of the first-class passengers
of the Republic, who was killed in his
stateroom, was making his thirteenth
trip across the Atlantic.
He was starting on trip through
the southern portion of Europe with
his wife and Mrs. NJ. F. sMurphy OF
Grand Forks, N. D., and by a strange
coincidence Mrs. Murphy was also
seriously injured. Their staterooms
were side by side and James L. Pea
cock, of New York, with whom the
party stayed for several days prior to
the departure Of the Republic, talked
of the accident.
Mr. Peacock has made several trips
abroad with Mr.. Mooney and says it
was his custom to have the upper
berth of the stateroom removed, al
lowing his wife to use the lower
berth, and sleeping himself on
couch on the outside OF the room.
From what ean be learned q the
accident Mr.. Peacock thinks it was
due to the occupancy Of these couches
which were located on the outside of
the vessel, under the dead lights, that
resulted in the death Of Mr.. Mooney
and the serious injury of Mrs. Muir
ply, while Mr.. Murphy and Mrs.
Mooney escaped. -

CHAMBER HANGS ONTO
COMMERCIAL CLUB

The commercial club has been
approved by the chamber of COM
merce but it will not be the club
originally intended by the boosters
in the 10000 club. The CONNER
cial club is to be made a part of
the chamber of commerce under its
control.
This was decided upon at the
meeting of the various boards this
noon when two resolutions were
passed, one to form the club and
the other to make it department
of the chamber of commerce. This
means that the club will be install
ed in the new assembly room of the
chamber of commerce and no indie
pendent apartment will be chosen.

THREE GREAT ROCKS.

There are three great rocks ahead
of the practical young man who has
his feet upon the ladder and is begin
ming to rise. FIRST, drunkenness,
which, of course, is fatal There is
no use wasting any time on the young
man who drinks liquor, no matter
how exceptional his talent. Second,
speculation. When there are goods
to sell, sell them; when supplies are
needed, purchase them, without re-
CARDS to the market price in either
ease. The third rock is akin to
spcculation-cndorsine. There are
emergencies, no doubt, in which men
should help their friends, but there is
a rule that will keep ON" safe; no man
should place his nam" on the obliga-
ton of another if he has not sufficient
to meet it without drtrimcnt to his
business. -I'oliey Register.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. }

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 3D.
President Taft stands squarely be-
hind the tax on the net earnings OF
corporations and he advocates it not
merely as an eXpcdicnt with which
to sidctrack the income tax. He be-
licves it to be Il highly desirable form
of taxation because it is the first step
in carefully devised system of fed
eraf control of corporations, and the
next step, federal supervision Of all
issues of stocks and bonds, he will
recommend to Congress in his first
annual message. The President will
not assent to any substitution in con-
ference of the inheritance tax for this
tax on corporations, nor does he be-
licvc that any such substitution is
contemplated, though many rumors
to this effect have been flying about
the country recently. The republic
can members of the Finance Commit
tee declare they have no intention of
any such substitution and the House
leaders, including the Speaker, pre-
dict with confidence that the corpor-
alton tax will be enacted as Il part of
the tariff bill. These facts, together
with much other interesting informa-
ton, were brought out at the White
House this week, where President
Taft talked freely with several friends.
The President takes emphatic issue
with the allegations that the corpora
ton tax is unjust, that it will not
reach the wealth of the country. He
firmly believes that it will reach men
of wealth, and he further believes
that in the ma jority of cases bond
holders are also stockholders, that
they are compelled to hold stock in
order to protect their bonded inter
ests. In short, Mr.. Taft regards the
corporation tax as tax on wealth
and as such as wholly just and prop

July 4th coming on Sunday this year,
in many places three days, Saturday,
Sunday and Monday, were used to cele-
brate. The small boys about town began
shooting fire crackers Saturday. On
Sunday reference was made to the day
in various churches. Monday was kept
generally by all, the stores and banks
being closed. Many persons went early
along some stream to fish, others went
to visit friends. The weather conditions
were ideal, and we believe everybody en-.
joyed themselves and had no accidents
to report.

The Board of Directors of the w., F..
& &. Ry. Company met on Tuesday last
and after hearing the report and recon-
mendations of the General Manager, gave
orders for the erection of large freight
warehouse and Office building to be loca-
ted on their terminal property in Freder-
lex.
Orders were placed for three additional
passenger coaches and several box cars
for use on the line.
A telephone line has been installed for
the dispatching of trains and electric
lights have been placed in Villa Park.
A report from Frederick in one of the
morning dailies, states that it has been
practically decided to use steam. We
are informed directly to the contrary.
in fact that matter has not been deter
mined upon, but is in the hands of COM
mittee which will report in the near fu-
ture. There is a strong possibility Of
the whole line being electrified under
certain conditions. If this fails, then it
must be steam, and if the latter power
is to be used it will mean the abandon
ment of Fourth street, and a private right
of way secured across the north or south
end of Frederick.
1t is impossible that in the near future
that all the old rails on the Monocacy
Valley will be taken up and new 70 ID.
substituted in place. The old iron rails
will continue to be source of constant
repair with such constant use as they
now are subjected to, and more especially
so when heavy freight to and from Fred
erick moves over them.
