and classified 1t was decided after
careful deliberation and review OF
the Spokane cases one by oral testi-
mony and the other by documentary
evidence, that the case could be bet
ter presented in simplified form and
connected manner by documentary
evidence where in the quietness of re-
search and the careful testing OF
each proposition the recital could be
woven into a series of related facts
running continuously from the con-
struction of the railroad to the di-
vision of the profits of operation.
The routine work of the commits
sion demanded so much of the time
and thought of the members and its
Office corps that undivided attention
so necessary to a matter of such I'M
portance, could not be given to the
preparation of the evidence; there
fore. It was decided to call to their
aid an expert of standing and repute
to assist in the work. The principle
involved was the same as In the Spo-
kane case and as the expert, Frank
IL. McCune, in charge of the prep
aration of the evidence in thas case
had achieved success his services
were secured. He was brought to
Carson City. where for months he
co-operated with the commission In
the task of compiling evidence in
proof of the charge of discrimination.
The authority of the commission
was exercised in securing voluminous
traffic data from the records of the
railroad company, unattainable
through any other body or source,
that was essential to complete ex-
position of the origin and quantity of
the traffic received at Reno, the city
chosen to demonstrate the discrim-
ination in disproof that such ship
ments were subject to water competi-
tion, the basis of contention that de-

railroad record was also secured from
officials of the company by authority
of the commission.
Other data, the source of which
was unknown to those indirectly con-
nected with transportation matters,
was gathered from far and near and
interviewer by the experienced
thought in charge of the story OF
transportation wrongs.
Thus a mass of essential evidence
was compiled and with infinite detail
was arranged in so simp1ified form
that it required no technical know
ledge of transportation matters to
read and understand nor tax the pa

Case Story

The Carson News prints the fol-
lowing story of the terminal and back
haul charge as it appears in the his
tory of the case:
The initial effort 10 secure adjust
ment 10 a reasonable rate on west
faulty petition which ended with dis
missal of the complaint.
Afterwards the railroad commits
sion OF Nevada took up the matter
and conforming 10 its rules invited a
complaint from business men of Reno
which was made in official form. The
Southern Pacific Co. against whom
the complaint was made. was cited
TO appear before the commission at
its trial room in Carson City. TO make
answers to the complaint and defend
the action. The commission con-
yened in regular session on the days
set down Tor the hearing. but the
railroads cited TO appear entered no
defense.
Then in conformity with the law a
petition for a readjustment of trans
continental freight rates. west bound,
equal to the coast rates was filed with
the interstate commerce commission
at Washington, d. G. reciting the
grievance and praying for relief.
The petition was drafted in the regu-
lar form then eountenanced by the in
terstate commerce commission.
These preliminary steps having
been taken the step was 10 decide the
hest method for presentation of the
evidence whether by oral testimony
or by documentary exhibits. In view
of the vast area TO be enumerated

happens when on the report of the
forest service. the case is brought Ia
hearing by the land Office The
witnesses for the public are not

terror department to decide what

Soup Without a Spoon.

Soup without spoon seems even
harder to negotiate than meat with
out fork. and we can sympathize
with the complaint recorded in the
diary OF Felix Platter, young Swiss
who went TO Montpelier in 1862 in
order to study medicine. He lodged
in the house of his professor, Catelan,
one of the greatest doctors of his
time, and yet. writes Platter, I'VE
were compelled to eat our stew in the
usual French fashion, that is to say
picking the meat out with our fingers
and then drinking the broth In vain

spoons, for not a single one was to

ment on the table being a large knife
fastened with an iron chain No one
here seems to have ever heard of
spoons, which we at home find Sc
useful" Montague was astonished
when he visited Switzerland in 1880
to find that at all meals they put on
the table as many spoons as there are

MAKING "ANTIQUES" TO ORDER

And still the manufacture OF an
tiques goes merrily on. An English
authority declares that there is not

terry that II not initiated on large
scale for the English market. Contin-
entail factories are the sinners mostly.
A firm in Hungary sends out such ex-
cellent copies that many collector

initiated nearly all the important GER
amics of Europe and the east. An
other, a French firm, has simply flood
ed the market with clever limitations

beginner who pirs his faith to the
mark is making a mistake. The gold
anchor is always found on spurious
Chelsea; only experts know that no
gold anchor at all is found on the
earliest and finest Chelsea. A case
in the courts brought out lately a
trick the German imitators had for
hiding these spurious marks from the
custom house officials. They simply
paste label with the familiar Made

The decision Of Justice Mills holding
Harry Thaw was insane when he killed
Stanford White and that he is still in.
sane. and recommitting him to the
asylum serves the ends of justice.
Thaw chose insanity ~ a defense.
He made much of the plea, proving his
mental incapacity at the time Of the
killing and the incurable nature Of the
malady. He succeeded in getting to
Mattewan and escaped the gallows, and
now let him stay in the asylum. II he
was insane when he killed White and is
insane at the present time az Justice.
Mills found the asylum is the place for
him. Thaw il either a murderer who
should have been hanged or n maniac
who should be kept where he il.
The decision will give satisfaction to
everyone who believes that when muir
derer is sane enough to escape the asylum
he should be convicted Of murder, and
that when he isn't he should be sent to
the asylum. Whether the court did or
did not err ~ to the defendants mental
condition, no injustice has been done
The court says that to turn Thaw
loose now would be dangerous to the
public peace and safety. 1haw is a
man Of means and i is not certain that
he will spend the remainder Of his life in
the asylum, but he may be forced to stay
there for some years at least
