WHY THE SWISS

The government of Switzerland Is
admitted by students of political eco

very best, in the world.

themselves among strange people In
a foreign land. They remain at home

In 1907 only 5710 Swiss left the

last year gave some slight evidence
of their financial substance by having
secured, payable in the countries to

NEW YORK'S NEW LAWS ARE

for kidnapping is Increased.

New York, Sept. Immoral mov-
ing picture performances, hoocne-
kooche and other indecent dances,
ioyiriding in automobiles, and the
treatment of youthful offenders as
criminals are all under the ban Of
the new laws which went into effect
| in New York state today.
one of the new statutes makes it a
misdemeanor to admit to a kineto-
scope or moving picture show injur-
| ious to health or morals, any child
less than 16 years of age, dnless ac-
companied by parent or guardian.
Assemblyman C. F. Murphy was re-
sponsible for this measure.
The Hill bill, also effective today,
is designed to put an end to joy-rid-
ing, which has claimed dozens of VIC
tins in this city recently. This is
done by adding a new section to the
Penal Code, which heads as follows;
"Any chauffeur or other person who
without consent of the owner shall
take or cause to be taken from gar
age, stable or other building or place
an automobile or motor vehicle and
operate or drive or cause the same to
be operated or -riven for his own
profit, use or purpose steals the same
and is guilty of larceny and shall be
punishable accordingly"
Another new law is expected to pre-
vent immoral dances. owners and
lessees of theatres where objection
able performances are given will be
considered equally guilty, in the eyes
of the law, with the managers and
performers.
The penalty for kidnapping is in
creased, by a new law, to a maximum
of fifty years in prison, instead OF
twenty-five wears, as formerly. An
other measure in effect today pro-
vides that no child under 16 years Of
age in this city or state may be treat

possible, without commitment. Thii

SEEKS LOST son TO
FIND HIM a MANIAC

Stockton, Cal.-One of the most pit
iful cases local officials have handled
in many monthes came to their notice
today when a 16-year-old boy named
Hubert Smith became violently in
sane on the Southern Pacific train
between Sacramento and this city
and had to be taken to the detention
hospital.
Back of the case is sad story. The
youth left his home in Los Angeles a
year ago and wandered over the
country in an effort to see the world.
He lost an arm in some scrape and
was sent to a reform school in Ore
gon. The mother mortgaged her fur
niture to secuer money to take the
youth home. She is heartbroken over
the sad ending of the trip.

RATE EXPERT SAYS
Law IS FAULTY
HEPBURN LAW PROTECTS
RAILROADS, NOT SHIPPERS
Impossible for shipper to Secure Re-
lief from Losses Through Misquo-
tation in Rates-Will Ask for
Amendment to Law.
Especial correspondence. }

Spokane, Wash, Sept. 6.-Frank
II. McCune, rate expert, who was the
principal witness for the people OF
Spokane in their fight before the In
terstate Commerce commission against
the transcontinental railroads for
equitable freight rates, has prepared
a statement, in which he shows VI
tai defect in the Hepburn act to reg
uIate commerce, under which, he de-
clares. il is utterly impossible for any
shipper in the United States to obtain
relief from losses through misquota-
tion in rates by railroad companies.
Mr.. McCune urges the people OF
the country to support the trans
mississippi Commercial congress in It's
efforts to secure the adoption by the
United States congress of an amend
ment to protect the shippers, as rec
commended by the frst-named organ
ization at its annual meeting in Den
yer two weeks ago. He says:
"Three years have elapsed since
the passage of the Hepburn amend
ment to the act to regulate COM
merce. and shippers are now awak-
ening to the fact that the railroads
are protected from their own acts IN
making misquotatlon in freight rates.
either wilfully to secure shipments or
otherwise, while the penalty OF the
loss falls upon the shippers using the
rates quoted to the railroads in max
ing delivered prices or buying goods
on the basis of rates furnished TO
them by the carriers.
"Though bankruptcy ensues, a
simmer is denied relief under the law
for the reason that he Is charged py
the law TO know what the legal rate
is. On the other hand the law COM
pels the railroad to recover by civil
action any sum that is less than the
lawful rate, although the railroad may
have previously quoted the rate the
shipper used in the purchase Or sale
of the consignment.
"a case was heard before the IN
terstate Commerce commission, where
the shipper attempted to recover
what he believed to be an overcharge
1t proved to be an undercharge. Un-
der the provisions of the law the rail-
road was supposed to institute action
to recover undercollections covering
a period of five years in which event
the merchant would have been ruin
ed. In substance the case was as
follows:
1.-TWO lines operated from the
point where the merchant made MS
shipments. For years he had patron
lied one line exclusively, making de-
livered prices at rate of 27 cents
the hundred pounds. Receiving a
rush order and not being able to OBJ
tain a car from the line he patron
ized he applied to the other, which
furnished the car at the same rate.
On arrival at destination rate Of 3S
cents was charged.

by local appliances, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an lnflamed condition Of the mu-
cous lining Of the Eustachian Tube When
this tube is inflamed you have a rrfhbllng

entirely closed, Deafness Is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to Its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever

agent of the one line testified that
the correct rate was 33 1-2 cents,
while the representative of the other
line maintained the rate was "a 1-2
cents. The matter was referred to
the auditor of the commission, who
determined the rate to be 35 cents
or eight cents higher than that used
by the shipper for five years.
Another instance of threatened
bankruptcy concerned a lumberman,
livered prices of lumber on a rate
quoted by the railroads general
freight agent. To fill the contract,
which the civil law compelled him
to do or be liable for damages, would
have entailed a loss of 100000. He
appealed TO the Interstate Commerce
commission for relief, but was told
that the commission was powerless to
act in the matter.
Scores of instances could be cited
to show losses to shippers under this
state of affairs. l make mention of
one: "a settler moving his house

ceived four different quotations from
the railroads, the rates ranging from
SO to II cents the hundred pounds,
What was the legal rate?
"This condition prevails through
out the United States and no terri
tory nor class of shippers is exempt.
The time is near at hand when, to
avoid heavy fines, the railroads must
collect by civil action such under
collections as are made on misquota-
ton of rates by their agents. There
is no parallel in law equal to this i'm
munity of the railroads. In all 9TH
er affairs the agreements made be-
tween the contracting parties are
binding, but the railroads are pro-
tected by their omissions and COM
missioners, while the people suffer
for the carriers sins.
"a rising wave of remedial legis-
lation of transportation reform is
sweeping from coast to coast, but the
!
vising every legal technicality and
throwing it across the peoples will as
barrier to progress in this direc-
ton. If the law protects the carriers
in their contracts with the people

doning the people to the merciless will

The recommendation by the Trans.
Mississippi Commercial congress thai
the congress of the United States en-
act an amendment to the act to reg

to quote rates in writing when 50 re-

so quoted be protected to avoid loss
to the shippers, and assessing a rea'
sonable penalty against the carrier

provision Of the act against rebatint
may be kept inviolate,' should have
the endorsement of every commercial
body in the United States.

 Recently Kim Sin, a wife of Mim Tu-eun, living at their home, sltu- atsd on the mountain slope about five miles northwest of town called Sangko-no-ong, was attacked by a tiger when she went out to shut the front gate of the house at about nine p. m.
