critical situation as this, one forgets.
His father could hardly refuse to come
to his assistance. He must get a
lawyer, too, to protect his interests.
This police captain had NJ right to de-
tain him like this. He must get word
to Annie without delay. Summoning
up all his courage, he said boldly:

Maloney leaned over and whispered
something in the captains ear. The
captain smiled grimly.

Won't you please let me send her a

The captain eyed Howard sus-

to his sergeant:

telephone and the wearying wait be-

subjected to this gruelling process,
and still the lynx-eyed captain sat
there watching his quarry.

If Capt. Clinton had begun to have
any doubts when Howard told him
who his father was, Maloney's infor-
nation Immediately put him at his
ease. 1t was all clear to him now
The youth had never been>any good
His own father had kicked him out.
He was in desperate financial straits,
He had come to this mans rooms to
make a demand for money. Under
wood had refused and there was a
quarrel, and he shot him. There was
probably dispute over the woman.
All, yes, he remembered now This
girl he married was formerly a sweet

behind it as well. Besides, wasn't he
caught red-handed, with blood on his
hands, trying to escape from the

RADICAL CHANCE
FROM EXISTING
LAW
Republican Vote Is Solid and
Il Democrats Vote for the
Bills Passage.
COURT OF COMMERCE
PRESIDENTS HOBBY

Washington, D. c., May 11.-Four-
teen Democrats voted with the solid
Republican majority in the house in
favor of the administration railroad
bill, the vote being 200 to 126-
The long and short haul clause of the
bill is a radical change from the existing
law. and provides that a railroad can
not, without first gaining permission,
charge more for a short haul than for
a long haul over the same lines. This is
designed to prevent the railroads from
giving coast cities lower transcontinen-
tai rates than the interior cities, and is
bitterly opposed by the railroads which
maintain that a fundamental law of
competitive rate making will be inter
fered with by such rule The intersta tie
commission also is given authority
whenever a new rate is proposed 10
suspend the taking effect OF that rate
for four months so that the commission
shall have an opportunity TO consider
it's reasOnableness.
Telegraph and Telephone Companies.
AS amended the bill proposes TO
bring the telegraph and telephone COM
panies under the control of the inter
state commission.
It provides for the valuation of rail-
road property as an aid to the commits
sion in the consideration of the rail-
IOdu IdtSS- Inc Dill give " tiiC NoAn-
mission authority over classification

Shipper Given Right.
Under its terms a railroad company
must quote freight rate accu-
rately upon demand of a shipper and
the shipper is given the right TO route
his freight whenever II passes over
more than one railroad.
Severe penalties are provided against
shippers who through raise claims for
damages-or loss of property, obtain Sc
cret rebates.
Commerce Court.
The commerce court feature is kept
in the bill President Taft regards this
a s the most important forward step in
the proposed law. The court of COM
merce is created to adjudicate cases on
appeal from the interstate commission
