TuE PHILADELPHIA STRIKE.

There Is no excuse fcr the scenes
enacted In Philadelphia during the
past few days. Since the beginning
OF the street car strike the streets Oh

there has been rioting and disorder
such as one might expect to occur
during the first day or two OF strike
of foreign wclkmen in an isolated
mining town but which hardly would

attack upop trolley car in which
the special policeman guarding the
crew was beaten and kicked into IN
sensitility after he had emptied MS
revolver.
By permitting the rioting 10 con-
time from day to day, the authorizes
encourage the lawless element to be
guilty of still greater outrages. The
disorder ought TO be stamped out IN

that quiet must be maintained at all

CoMMUTER SEEKS PREPARATION
Brings First Complaint of the Kind
Before the Interstate Commission

Washington. Aug 2.-Nelson D. Stilweil,
doing business at No. 10 Wall street, New
York City. to-day filed with the Interstate
Commerce Commission complaint de-
manding reparation on d communication
ticket between New York City and War
wick. n Y. for what he alleges 20 be the
exaction of an unreasonable and excessive
charge This is the first complaint Of the
kind which the commission has received
It IS directed against the Lehigh & Hud-
son River Railway Company and the Erie
Railroad.
Prior 10 July I. Mr.. Stilwell says. he was
required to pay sl3 50 for a sixty-trip ticket
between New York City and Warwick. On
Julv the rate was increased to SIS 80. On
.Julv 10 the roads reduced the rate 70 SIS 80.
This rate. the complainant alleges, is I'M
lust and unreasonable, and he demands
reparation in the sum of 81 20 on one ticket
II will be recalled that the Interstate
Commerce Commission declined to suspend
the advanced communication rate out Of New
York City. announcing that subsequently 1t
would inquire into the reasonableneSs of
the advances In the ordinary procedure of
the commission no reparatfon claims would
be allowed until the reasonableness or un-
easonableness of the rate attacked was
determined. The complainant in this case,
therefore, will not have his claim adjusted
until the whole Communication question shall
have been determined by the commission.

International meet which is soon TO be held

This is the proper place to hold the in
ternafionaI meet" he said, because the
Wright brothers are the inventors of the
flying machine I don't know why they are
not more thoroughly appreciated in their
own country I understand one reason is
because they arc considered bit churlish.
This is not so. They are not churIish.
Every inventor has the right to protect the
products of his brain, and that is what the
Wrights are doing.
