"Oh, my hat; you're sitting on
my ha-a-a-t!" screamed Mrs. Rob-
ert Fitzsimmons.
Past prize fighter Bob Fitzsim-
mons leaped into the air and
then surveyed the hat box of their
trunk crushed in on willow
plumes, chiffon and lace.
Then he turned slowly and said
solemnly to his wife: "Don't you
ever scare me like that again."
Don't you ever scare me like
that again." mimicked pretty little
Mrs. Bob Fitzsimmons. "A great

But Bob was serious. It's ten

a scare in the ring in all his fight

Mrs. Fitzsimmons was just tell
ing a reporter the "story of her
life" when Bob came into the
dressing room.
She had told that she was born
in Iowa, and went to Minneapolis
with her parents when a little girl.
She went through the public
schools here, graduating before
she was IS. Her parents expected
her to go to the university, but
she wanted to go on the stage,
and after much coaxing her par
ents let her join an opera COM

New York and in year was sing

The Story of Courtship.
One night seven years ago she
was singing in Chicago.
And this is where Bob came in
to the dressing room of the Pan

 WASHINGTON. Sept. 25.-An in creased annual tax of more than $1oo.oo0,o0o has been saddled upon the American people through in creased freight rates within the last few years without opposition by the government. But this ts not enough The railroads want still more revenue, and as soon as the November elections are over it is believed they will be allowed to boost their rates a couple of notches higher
 The Interstate Commerce Com mission is now going through the formal procedure of taking testi- moHy as 10 the Ieasonableness of the ne" increases which, according to the estimates of the commission. will swell the annual profits of the railroads S53o0o0,000 There are high-priced lawyers for the railroads al the hearings. and also an i'm posing array of legal talent for the big shippers The public alone Is Hnrepresented
 One fact that has cropped out at tho hearings is that the railroads seem 10 have unanimously agreed that the increased rates shall apply ., | II an"e 10 the trusts and big combina- tions of manufacturers. The added burden is to be laid on The little fel- low-thc merchant, the household CT, the fathers and mothers of the families, the country storckeoper and the farmer. Products of the trusts enjoy striking immunity from increases. This is not hard to mnderstand. It is not easy for the railroads 10 put an increased rate over on the sugar or steel trust. Such increases would be fought tooth and nail, and probably defeated by counsel for the combines who gather like flies about the room in which rhe commission meets But il is easy money to put an increas- cd rate over on the general con sumer, because he isn't present to enter objection, nor is anyone there to enter objections for him.
 The Interstate Commerce Commits sion declares it represents no one in particular, but sits as judicial body wholly. The result is that in many, many instances the case goes against the consumer by default

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-When the results of the Vermont election showed a 27 per. cent slump in the Republican vote. the Republican leaders in Washington declared the phenomenon was due to rainy wealth CT.

THE J. C. TREES OIL COMPANY
IS ABSORBED BY THE
STANDARD OIL COMPANY
Nine Million Dollars Is the Amount
Paid-The Oil Territory Is Most Val
uab1e-A Hundred Thousand Acres
in the Tract

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. Saturday af-
lternoon the greatest sale of oil-produc-
ing property ever consummated in the
history of the oil industry was finally
closed, when the ]. c. Trees Oil Com
pany, composed of J. c. Trees, H. S.
Grayson, NJ L. Benedun and H. S. and
C. E. eileen, all of Pittsburg, disposed
of its holdings in the Caddo, Louisiana,
field to the Standard Oil Company.
Negotiations have been ON for some
time, and at the meeting in New York
the owners of the property and George
J. Wolf, solicitor for the J. C. Trees Oil
Company, represented the sellers. J. C..
Donnell, president of the Ohio Oil Com
|pany, of Findlay, Ohio, attended the
meeting, in addition to the president of
the Standard Oil Company and New
York officials of the big corporation.
For number of weeks the Standard
Company has had a representative in
Louisiana gauging the property, and the
final details for taking over the Caddo
lands were speedily arranged after the
representatives of the two companies
got together at 70 Broadway.
All the persons interested declined to
give out the selling price, but it is un-
.derstood to have been very close TO
100000, the largest sum ever paid for
an oil producing property in this or any
other country The property acquired
is the most valuable of any single hold
ing in this country. 1t comprises 100000
acres, lying west of Jeems bayou in
Caddo Parish, Louisiana, and twenty
eight miles northwest of Shreveport. On
the property are tWenty-eight wells, pro-
dltcing from eight to twelve thousand
barrels a day, and fifteen wells drilling.
No dry holes have been found Seven
thousand acres have been tested and are
known to be productive
The largest lease in the property is
the Stiles tract, 5000 acres, ufl1y tested
and prolific. There are four known
producing formations in Caddo field
Heavy grade oil is found at 1000 feet,
second grade at 1900, and two others
at 2Ioo and 23oo feet. The lowest is
the most prolific producer and affords
oil Of grade equal to the best in the
eastern field. The average cost of drill
ing a well is $4,000. The Trees Com
pany held three-fourths of the territory
developed in Caddo parish. One well,
which came in last November, has pro-
duced 100000 barrels The Trees Com
pany was proposing to build refinery
at Shreveport and become a competitor
of the Standard. The Trees Company
reserves nothing but gas rights.
The members of the Trees Company
are all comparatively young men and
will continue in business.

ability Perhaps it may be held that at
crossing such as that Of the Kansas City
Southern at this point there should
be more than one Aaglnan, but in this
instance it is a fact incontrovertible that
the lagnan did all he could to the full
est limit of his duty, nor could two flag
men have done any more. No fault can
be attached to the fagman for this hom-
icide.
It should also be borne in mind that
what are called accidents are not al
ways avoidabIe, but reck1essness, and we
may say "cusaedness," should not be
confounded with accidents, which are
unavoidable,
In a general sense it may be said that
with some exceptions, the drivers of
autos are inclined to be reckless and de-
hant of all the rights of individuals and
of vehicles to the rights of the streets
and thoroughfares.
Pedestrians and vehicles should have
some. privileges and some rights which
reckless drivers of autos should be COM
PEELED to respect. There should be, if
there is not, a lawful rate of speed for
automobiles, which whenever trans
gressed should be met with the most
rigid enforcement of the law. The pen
atty should not be limited to a nominal
fine, but the fne, with Imprisonment,
should be a deterrent to those who are
rated as utterly reckless in their speed
ing.
AS already said, the Caucasian would
not PREJUDICE this tragedy, but it is of
record that William Lowe has had some.
unpleasant experiences in driving his
automobile. It was last year that he
became entangled with the gatekeeper at
the Fair grounds. and later with a po-#
1iceman about lighting his auto.
It may be deplored, and perhaps Viii
liam Lowe feels most poignant1y the re-
suit of the occurrence, but expressions
of regret are vain and fall on dull ears
when addressed to the victims of this
S Seriously, it is 10 pal1iation of the oc-
that regrets are felt and ex-
pressed by William Lowe Had he been
more considerate ii giving heed to the
fagn1an's signal there would have been
no horrifying recital Of death to chron-
icle.
