per cent was a reasonable and lawful

Congress should at once enact law
providing for the physical valuation of
railroads by the interstate commission,
and this should be done before gen
eral advance in railroad rates is per-
mitted There Is no more reason why
badly managed, badly taxed, poorly
located and over-capitalized railroads
should be successful and neither the
people nor the government has any
more responsibility to this class of rail-
roads than It has to ill-advised busi-
ness operations OF any kind.
FAvORITIsM TO CITIES
"The general policies of railroads
throughout the United States to favor
large centers and build up great cities
at the expense of the rural commune
ties, is little less than crime against
civilization. Such a policy robs hum
dreds of thousands of children of their
natural right to wholesome surround
ings, sunshine, pure air and healthy
social conditions. 1t also encourages
abnormal development in great cities
where crime and shame find convenient
shelter. The true policy should be to
so regulate transportation rates that
the rural districts will be developed and
the population normally distributed.
The government 'and the railroads
should determine absolutely policies OF
this character"
There are nine state represented at
the rate conference-Iowa, Missouri,
Nebraska, Minnesota, Oklahoma, IL
lnois, Colorado, Texas and Kansas.
The representatives are principally
members of commercial bodies, though
several members of state railroad
boards are present There are 175 ac-
credited delegates.
Murdo Mackenzie of Trinidad, Colo,
was chosen chairman and r. o. Nc
Cormick of Fort Worth, Tex, secre-
tary of the conference.
The conference opened with speech
by Governor Stubs of Kansas, who
recounted the efforts to keep down
rates, told of the cost of building rail
roads and recited reasons offered by
the railroads for advancing rates.
my hope," he declared, 'is that this
meeting will demand from the railroads
the naked truth about their proper-
ties"

good and great democrat he was, what
great things he had done for the party

Gated to advantage. And Miers said
not a word in behalf of Governor Mar

Miers has never been prominently
identified with any faction of the demo-
cratic party, but has been rather a
free lance. And now IL Governor Mar

to see how he can expect to lead In

have it vote for him for the nomina-

1t was said yesterday at the meeting
of the democratic state committee thai
most of the state candidates had paid
at least a part of their campaign as
sessments, and that some of them had
paid in full. There is a good deal OF
speculation as to how some of the can

East Chicago, Ind, Aug. 27.-The
East Chicago police are busy these
days rounding up wife beaters who
think that when they marry woman
they own her body and soul and can
treat her the same as they do their
dog or horse.
Thursday evening Thomas Cedrik,
who lives with his wife at 151st street
and Tod avenue. after filling his waist
band with bad whisky went home and
proceeded to take a fall out of his
wife. Celia. She didn't take kindly to
the performance and yelled loud
enough to attract the attention of some
of the neighbors. A man living near
by went to the resue as did also a
woman from the other direction. Ced-
rik couldn't see where these people
had any right to butt in on his domestic
affairs and turned his attention to the
man, whom he whacked over the back
with a stick of wood. He then pro-
ceeded to try and pull all the hair out
of the visiting wolnan's head, and was
only stopped when Sergeant Mike Cor
man arrived and placed him under ar
rest. His case will come up for trial
before Judge William A. Reiland today

HEAD OF STEEL CORPORATION
DESCRIBES AEROPlANE FEELINGS

Paris, Aug. BE H. Gary, head of
the United States Steel corporation.
Mrs Gary. and Frank A. Munsey flew
last night in one of the newest Bleriot
monoplanes. under the pilotage of
Morane, the famous French aviator
They flew over the eastern margin of
the fiat Beance country, between
Etampes, Epernay and Sur Orge.
The passengers went up one by one.
Charles r. Flint was also of the party,
but remained on terra firma.
The flights lasted a quarter of an
hour each and reached an average
height of 500 feet. 1t was a beautiful
moonlight night and the specially in
vited visitors. leaving the Hotel Ritz
in two powerful autmobiles at o'clock,
covered the distance of thirty-five miles
TO the Etampes aviation camp in less
than half an hour All expressed them
selves afterwards as marveling great
ly over their experience.
Mr. Flint, who may be regarded as
the godfather Of aviation. since he
| backed the Wright brothers with cash
| for which he asked no voucher, in the
| critical period of their endeavors, de-
| clared he never had seen more finely
| constructed machine than the Blerioi
monoplane used by Morane.
| Mr. Gary described his sensations
while in flight:

Gary Describes Sensations.

1T was superbly delightful, said he.
The machine was beautiful piece of
mechanism and obeyed the hand of the
pilot quite as if it were thing of life.
We never once felt the slightest fear.
1t seemed as If we were being carried
upwards and forward upon the back
of a gigantic bird whose movements
were absolutely easy and regular and
even rhythmic.
Nothing could be more celebrating.
Morane told US that he feared the
course of the monoplane might be un-
steady, but it wasn't. The management
of the machine struck me as being
much like that of an automobile. There
was nothing at all disquieting in our
flight. although we made many circles
in the air and repeatedly varied our
height to view the sweeping landscape
far below us.
The few faint lights of the. villages
seemed to wink at as we swept
swiftly over them, and the fathomless
starlit canopy. which appeared starting
ny near to us, is something no words
can ever adequately describe For ms
part, / don't see why aeroplane ascen-
sions under calm atmospheric condi
| tions shouldn't become one of the mos
popular amusements. The experience
] is wonderfully inspiring.

to other buyers that will result in the
turning point of the dun period that
has prevailed in the pig iron en1 of the
iron and steel business since early
spring.
Some interests assert that without
the Oliver order the turning point has
already been passed, a buying move

Der of inquiries. that augurs well for
future business.
Most of the inquiries are for the last
quarter of the current year. Milwau-

900 and 5000 tons of foundry iron,
while there are many inquiries for

pointing Greenhouse, a Taggart man.
although he will probably have 1t 10
do in case of the election of Great
house. To do otherwise would be to
sho whis teeth TO the Taggart crowd.
Marshall Is Embarrassed.
1t puts the governor in an awkward
position. He was not even consulted
about the selection of a successor to
Alley, although he is the recognized
head of the democratic party in Indi-
ana. Taggart has taken advantage of
him by making the selection in his
absence Taggart has absolute con
troll of the state committee and was in
a position 10 slip one over on the gov
ernor.
Taggart was not in the city yester-
day, but he was here the night before
and left the same night for Chicago
But it is said that he left the word
before he departed that Greathouse
was to be put on the ticket at once
without waiting for the return OF
Governor Marshall.
This was the second time this week
that Governor Marshall received a slar

comes home he may not be in a very

Whiting Ind, Aug. PA guilty
conscience which was everlastingly
condemning him was responsible for
William Calvin, who says he is a de-
serter from the United States navy, in
giving himself up last night to the
Whiting police.
When officer Joe vacha was patroll-
ing his beat in the vicinity of the Lake
Shore depot about Ills p. m. he was
accosted by Calvin, who told the Of
ffcer that he was ready to give him
self up. The officer at first thought
it was a joke of some sort, but upon
further inquiry became convinced that
Calvin was of sound mind and knew
what he was talking about.
His story was to the effect that he
enlisted in the United States navy at
the South Street station, New York,
on May 2, 1909. He was sent to the
receiving ship Hancock and then to
the cruiser Tacoma. On April 20, 1910
he was given forty-eight hours leave
| of absence. He had in the neighbor-
hood of $3.50 in his pockets at the
time and as he said, got in with bad
| bunch" He stayed away longer than
| he was given permission and a re-
| suit was afraid to return. His money
being all gone, he boarded a freight
| train and landed at Gary, where he
worked for time. Being afraid of be-
! ing caught there he quit and went to
! South Chicago. Still being afraid of
| being captured he quit there Thurs
| day. Last night when he struck Whit
/ ing he said his heart was so heavy
| he did not know what to do and now
| that he has given himself up feels far
| better.

But his resignation gave them a
chance to get another place on the
ticket, and they lost no time in taking
advantage of the situation.
There can be no doubt but that if
Governor Marshall had been here he
would have preferred some other can
didate to Greathouse. 1t is said that
the governor preferred Prof. Tapey of
wabash college for the place on the
state ticket. There are several rea-
sons for this. Tapey is a well qualified
educator. and he comes from the col
lege which is the governors alma ma
ter But the Taggart crowd did not
intend that the governor should have
anything to say about whom it should
select to fill the vacancy caused by
Alleys resignation.
Alley will not resign his office as
state superintendent until the first of
