WOULD LOSE HALF OF BUSINESS.
New England shippers Against In
creased Freight Rates.

New England shippers and manufac-
turers testified before the Interstate
Commerce Commission yesterday that II
the proposed increases in freight rates
were authorized their markets IN the
Middle West would be turned over to
competitors. Some OF the New England
witnesses declared that with rates ad-
yanced as proposed the industries they
represented would lose at least 30 per
cent OF their business.
Other witnesses told the commission
that the increased rates would in all
probability force the concerns for which
they spoke 20 transfer their plants 10
the Middle West as means Of escaping
burdensOme freight charges
During the day members OF the Rail-
way Business Association, which Is on
record as favoring an increase In freight
rates, made statements. With the ex-
ception OF Herman Westinghouse, Of
Pittsburg. all the witnesses stated that
the prices OF their products 10 the car
riers had remained practically the same
for the past five years. Mr. Westing-
house said that prices OF air brakes and
other equipment manufactured by his
companies had increased about Y per
cent in the past five TO ten years.

An Incident That Proves That
a Horse Has Sense and
Also Some Humor..

A bay horse belonging to W. W. Riley
has the laugh on Mr.. Riley and several
gentlemen connected With the dead-horse
service. and by the same token proves
that horses have sense of humor.
The horse fell sick few days ago aud
was under the observation of a horse
doctor, who came twice a day and looked
wise. The stable boy said the animal had
entered upon his last illness and wept
into the horses name FIe was KIND
stable boy, and had read BLACK Beauty
So one day, when the streets were slip
perry with ice the kind stable hoy was
leading old Dohbin out to water. And
dear old Dobbin fell down kerthnmp. and.
like horse always does, Just lay there
and waited for something to he done.
The regular crowd gathered around.
There was the driver of the passing coal
cart who looks on with disgust and 81
lence for Il while and then jumps down
with "A prOfane remark and says that he
Euesses that HE can get that horse Zip.
There was the smart youth who invaria-
bly, ia on the scene and believes that he
has a heaven-born mission to sit upon
the heads of all horses that fall. There
was the man who runs and gets-H blanket
and tries to unfold it under the horse,
while the horse makes innocent efforts
to brain the man with a side kick And
there was the group of women who shrink
back, saying, oh, look at the poor

MAKE SIDEWALKS SAFE.
Sanding Law Does Not Apply on
Slippery Days.

Commissioner West said today that al
though there is police regulation
against the throwing of sand. dirt ashes
etc. on streets and sidewalks, no one
who roughens. slippery sidewalk with
ashes or sawdust sand will be inter
fered with by the police. Furthermore,
he said that as far as he knew no one
ever had been interfered with for any
such cause.
The Commissioner based his remarks
on statement published in a morning
paper calling attention to the illegalhy
of making the streets and sidewalks safe
by sprinlIling sand and ashes on them.
ANY one should know that the police
regulation was framed and is maintain
ed and enforced for the spurposes OF
keeping the streets and sidewalks clean
and to prevent people from dumping
their ashes and garbage on the side
walks. 1t is absurd to believe that the
man who roughens his sidewalk on
slippery night like last night Is liable to
arrest And. furthermore. no one who
sands the street to help a horse UP is
going to be interfered with.
Il called up Maj. Sylvester this morn
ing and asked him IL any: one had been
interfered with by the police. He said
he had never heard OF a single case"
