NEW RAILROAD LAW.
MeaAure of Great Value to the
Country.
lthlna 20

@AoC ~ AhN
Country.
Chicago News.
When President Taft signed the railroad
Dill ne completed the task OF giving to the
country measure OF great value 1t repre-
sents TO an unusual degree the results of
careful study OF railroad problems by
strong and fearless men in the national
legislature, II Is generally conceded that
the new law Is far better than the one
which the country would have secured II
Attorney General Wickersham's original
bill had been accepted as 1t stood.
Under the new law the Interstate Com
merce commission at last is given the right
to pass upon proposed rate increases be-
fore they go into effect Thus is transferred
from the shippers to the railroads the bur-
den OF showing that the desired changes
are fair. The establishment OF a commerce
court to pass upon rulings Of the conn
mission promises prompt decisions Then
there is the provision that when rates are
lowered TO meet competition they shall not
be raised again without the consent OF the
commerce commission. The creating of a
commission to inquire into the capitaliza-
tlon or railroads is another important fea-
ture. Further, the interstate business Of
telegraph and telephone companies is placed
under the supervision Of the Interstate
Commerce commission.
These and other valuable features of the
law are gratifying gains The important
subject OF pooling Ia not dealt with. an
omission which causes much dissatisfaction
to the railroads. In this respect the law
does not carry out the declarations in the
last republican national platform. How
ever, the measure as It stands does not
seem unjust to the carriers. It's good tea-
lures greatly strengthen the republican
party before the country.

Completing Our Empire of States.

Creating states out of Arizona and
New Mexico uses up all our available
commonwealth material and completes
an empire begun 1913 years ago. 1t
marks a new epoch in the history Of
free government and rounds out In
full stature the greatest nation man
has builded. We may yet, In the course
OF human events, make one or more
states Of Alaska, but its day of state
hood must be far on at best, to say
nothing of the destiny of our insular
possessions.
New Mexico and Arizona do not
come into the union empty-handed;
they do not get something for nothing.
True. their populations are not large
as states go, but they are not TO be the
smallest in the sisterhood. New Mex
leo, with a population In 1900 of 1885,
900, exceeds that of Delaware, Idaho
Wyoming or Nevada, while Arizona

Is larger than either Wyoming OF

SHE CLAIMS THE PROPERTY.
Granddaughter Takes Hand in the
Jones Ejectment Suit.

Mrs. Julia Blush-Seymour filed suit
Wednesday afternoon to secure pos
session of the property at 1912 West
Twenty-f1rst street, which has caused
her mother and grandparents more or
less trouble the last few weeks.
1t was the possession of this prop
erty that led the young woman's moth
er to bring ejectment suit against the
grandparents; and it was a quarrel
concerning the home that prompted
the grandparents to cause the arrest
of Mrs. Seymour's mother on a charge
of disturbing the peace. Now Mrs.
Seymour steps into the breach and
asks that the court give her a clear
title to the property. 1t is the wo-
mans claim that the Blush alimony
money secured by Mrs. Mabel Norris
Blush-Wisco mbe -Wiscombe-Jones was
granted by the court for the support
of the child who is now Mrs. Seymour.
The Seymour woman says the money
was used to buy the home and that
a clear title should be issued in her
name.

Buffalo Stockade at Gage Park Conn
pleted Today. r.rt-

The herd of nine deer bought for the
city from Mrs. Charles H Samson We're
taken to Gage park last night and
have been lodged in a temporary pen
which was formerly the pheasant yard.
In herding the deer on the Samson
farm just before they were enclosed
one of them was injured and in order
to end the animals suffering, the deer
was killed. ..
The dead animal was sold to the Elks
club in this city and will be the means
of big dinner.
One of the deer-a young one-has
been away from the herd since las.
spring and is not included in the bunch
at the park. But it is expected that
this animal will be caught before the
end of the week, when it will be
placed in the zoo with the others. This
will make ten in ALL -
The big stockade for the seven buff
falo has been completed. 1t is seven
feet high, the posts are five feet apart
and the stockade is 125 feet square. 1t
occupies Il prominent place in the park
and is strong enough to withstand any
charge on the part of the animals.
