robbers. one armed with a pistol, the

blackened faces, entered Barnikow's

robber with the revolver. Barnikow

on a nook and threw them at the bur-

Suddenness of the attack surprised
the burglars, who turned and fed.

RATE CASE
IN COURTS

Washington, Feb. 23.-Whetner a
state may fix maximum rate on
commodity of intra state commerce be-
low the cost of transportation was
the basis for a keen argument today
before the Supreme Court of the I'm
tied States. The legal representa-
tives of the State of North Dakota
defended the constibltionality of the
state law OF 1897, fixing the rates on
coal. aad counsel for the Northern
Pacific Railway Company attacked il
as designating a rate below. the cost
OF service.
Attorney General Miller and Attor
ney r. F. McCIe and Guy G. II. Cor
liss nad filed a brief in defense of the
decision rendered by the Supreme
Court of North Dakota in favor of the
law. Charles w. Bum. general coun-
sci for the Northern Pacific, had pre-
sented a brief attacking the law and
the decision of the state court.
The counsel for the State argued
that the reason why tae cost of ser
vice was not controlling where a sin
gle rate was involved was two-fold. In
the first place, il was contended, 1t
was impossible to determine with any
thing like accuracy what such cost OF
service was. In the second place,
there was no injury to the equitable
title of tae carrier as a result of the
cost of services not being controlling
as long as the carrier was allowed on
the whole to earn a fair profit on the
investment in the business. Further
more. it was contended that other el
alyea fhsar r-afe a
reasonable one, though it is less than
the theoretical cost of service. In
the case Of the rate on coal. it was ar
gued that il may be entirely reason
able for the state to put in force
low rate for the purpose OF developing
a great natural resource by stimIlat-
ing tne purchase of local coal through
the reduction in the cost of the form
er.
AS to the argument that the reduc-
tion of the rate on coal meant an ad-
ditional burden on other commodities
counsel for the state contended that
IL was illogical to speak of this as
"robbing Peter to paw Paul" Accord
ing to their point of view, the subject
was either more or less than a cause
of proper rate classification WITH the
Incidental result that one commodity
sustains a greater weight of expense
than another.
A vigorous attack was made ON
other arguments of the railroad. III
the doctrine contended for by counsel
for the defendants be sustained by
this court" said the counsel for the
state. "the decision will not merely
mark an epoch-it will inaug1rate a
revolution in the development of the
law relating to tle regulation of
transportation charges by the rail-
ways of the country"
1t was said that a decision in ac-
cordance with the contention of the
railroads would be to cripple serious
ly. IL not practically to destroy, the
rate making power of the nation and
of every state.
The burden of proof is Ipon the
railroads to show that the rate in
volved will cut down the net earnings
OF the railroad from purely intra-
state business below the point of a
fair profit" said the states counsel.
There is no evidence as to the gross
receipts from purely intra-state bus.

This is not a question nor is it a

But it is time for firmness and a

ALEXANDRIA, Va, December ,, 1910.
A wanderer on rollers without home
is today the status of the Second Bap-
fist Church, a one-story frame structure
at the southwest corner of Columbus and
Pendleton streets, and at present it looks
as if the congregation will have to wor-
ship either in the house on rollers Sunday
next or not worship at all.
The church had been moved exactly
two feet yesterday when objection was
made. it is claimed, by a property owner
near where it was to have found rest
ing place. The work was stopped by the
police, it is said, pending a settlement
OF the affair, and just now the trustees
of the church are endeavoring to have
the legal status of the church decided.
Until this is settled it cannot be moved
any further.
At the last meeting of city council per-
mission was granted the trustees to move
the church to a lot owned by them mid
way of the square, on the opposite side
of Columbus street, provided, however,
there was no objection on the part OF
the adjoining property owners. 1t now
develops that objection has been made.
The church officials Already have pre-
pared brick foundation for the house
of worship, and it was estimated that
the short haul would have occupied Tess
than a day.

Fight Against tuberculosis.

Editor of The virginian:
Sir.--I have watched the fight be-
ing made :. in this State against tu-
berculosis (the white plague with
interest and appreciation. but in spite
of the energy and good intentions dis
played. l feel like offering a criti-
cism. in the friendliest spirit, as my
contribution to this cause.
The attempt to cure or relieve tu-
bereulosis ought not to be abandoned,
but a thousand times the more inn
portant work Is to teach the people
how to avoid or prevent the contract
ing of this disease, which has clearly
been proven to be communicates.
Another and important thing that can
he done by our Lawmakers, now in
session, Is to prescribe rules for the
proper ventilation and heating OF pub
lie conYeXances.--a ~pena1ties--for-
their violation, with proper officers
to enforce the penalty.
- Coming INTO THIS city on train
this morning, which train was full of
passengers, and had been travelling
all night, ] found that not a particle
of ventilati was provided for, save
as the door at one end of the ear
was opened from time to time as the
train stopped at stations. The win
tfows of the car were thickly coated
with ice, from the breath of the
passengers, and the air was heavily
laden with carbonic acid gas, which
ALMOST Immediately revealed its pres
ence To- me by starting my head to
aching-a thing 1t almost never does.
save from this same cause. The con-
ductor declined to provide any Ven-
tilation on my request, saying he had
all he could do to keep the passen-
gers from freezing. ] mention this
circumstance because j almost always
find trains unventilated or very badly
e nti.ated, and the ignorance of the
great majority of the passengers of
the injury they are receiving and the
unwillingness of the transportation
companies to provide both heat and
ventilation sufficient in cold weather
makes this a necessary subject Tor
Legislation. The fact that passen-
ger does not realize the injury he Is
receiving does not lessen the evil, and
under Just such circumstances the
first germ OF tuberculosis may often
le planted and begin Its growth. How
much more important 1t is to save the
healthy from this dread disease than
| to try to rescue those already affected
| need not enlarge upon.
