Court Is Endorsed

Indorsing the proposed court of COM
merce, the report says the favorable
argument In favor of it's creation is
that it will prevent delay and COLI
fusion in the enforcement of the law
by creating one tribunal especially
versed in the complicated and often
technical questions arising out of the
application of the interstate commerce
ject to the act.
Supreme court rulings are cited in
support of the contention that the scope
of review of the commits sion's order
in court will not be wider than ii is
now in the circuit courts. 1t is cor
tended that courts ought not to be ell
dowed with merely administrative pow
ers such as are involved in the exercise
of the commissions discretion. The
claim that there will not be enough
business. to keep the tribunal occupied
is not seriously considered by the conf
mittee.
The administration bill gives the At
torney General entire charge and con-
troll of. the interests of the government
in all eases and proceedings In the
court of commerce and in the supreme
court on appealed cases. This is a
change from the existing law The
committee says that the political situa J.
ton combines in the members Of the
interstate commerce commission the
functions of investigator, Judge anG
prosecutor which is declared to be con
trary to the correct theory of law or
procedure.

Torrance on Saturday afternoon at the
GOODWIN institute.
Young Rubenstein is undoubtedly the
most remarkable child pianist the South
has yet produced. and with the necessary
training and environment he will one
day become famous.
Last winter he studied with Alexander
Lambert in New York city, and hopes to
be able to go abroad next winter to study
with Leopold Godowsky.
Rubenstein Is not only wonderfully gift
ed but has such winning personality
that he makes friends easily. A few
prominent women in the city are at the
back of his concert to be given Satur-
day afternoon and are working for him
to have the encouragement of a crowded
house.
He will be heard in one of his most
difficult programmes and one that will
show off his talents to the best .advan-
tage.
Rubenstefn has not yet celebrated his
18th birthday but is said to play with
the technique and understanding of one
many years his senior. 1t would seem that
the playing of such an earnest young
pianist would stimulate the efforts OF
other students and for this reason the
teachers of the city should urge their
pupils to attend the concert on satur-
| day afternoon.

There is no religious significance In

Inquiry Into Rates


Commenting upon the provision for
investigation by the commission of pro-
posed Increases in rates, the report SAYS
that majority of the committee is OF
the opinion that the commission sh oui i
De authorized to commence the investi-
CATION of a proposed increase in rate or
change in classification as soon as 1t is
filed, The majority supports also the
proposition that apy time before the
rate or classification will become eff
fective the COMM sion should be err
powered to postpone the effective date
for reasonable period to enable it to
investigate the proposed action.
The bill fixes this reasonable period at
60 days, and although the commission rec
commended that this time be extended to
100 days, the committee says II believes
that with due diligence the CT nmission
can determine within the time allowed
whether the increase should be approved.
AS to the provisions relating to through
rates and through routes, the shippers
right to route shipments, and the making
of annual reports. the majority follows
the line of argument advanced by Attor-
ney General Wickersham in his published
abstract of the bill. Concerning the i'm
portant sections relating to the purchase
of competing lines, the report says:
Criticism Expressed
''some criticism of this section has been
made upon the ground that it did not pro-
hibit the acquisition by means of a hold
ing corporation of stocks of competing
lines of railway. The provisions of the
Sherman antitrust laws so completely
cover that ground that the committee
deemed it unnecessary to attempt q repe-
tition of those prohibitions In this act.
For the same reason it was not deemed

AGREE ON RATES
Majority Report on Bill Read
in the Senate
FEATURES OF THE BILL
Five senators Sign the Majority Vote.
Proposcd Court of Commerce Is
Approved Because 1t Will Pre-
vent Delay in Enforcement

washington, March T.-"Carefulis
preserving the principles so clearly
enunciated in the republican platform
of 1905" is the way the majority OF
the Senate committee on interstate
commerce, which made its report today
on the administration railroad bill, IN
terprets the provision to admit common
carriers to enter into traffic agree
ments.
The report is signed by Senators Ell
kins, Cullom. Aldrich, Kean, Crane
and Nixon and will be printed with the
minority report submitted a few days
ago by Senator's C1app and Cummins
and the individual report Of Senate,
Newlands.
Approval of the court of commerce
feature is given prominence, although
comment upon other provisions is fas
more interesting. For instance, the re.
port says that the effect of the traffic
agreement proposition is to relieve car
riers from the provision of the anti
trust act while preserving unimpaired
the control of the interstate commerce
commission over all such agreements
1t is declared the provision Is IN exae'
compliance with the declaration in the
republican platform.
After quoting the clause of the plat
form concerning such agreements, TIE
report says:
"The contention that this declara-
ton can only be complied with by re-
curing the approval of such agree
ments by the interstate commerce conn.,
mission before they become operative
is in the opinion of the committee desti
tute of the slightest foundation.
1.-THE section%,in question carefully
preserves the principles clearly enunci-
ated in the platform and only by a
wilful distortion of language could II
be contended that this carefully guard.
ed provision involved any abandon
ment of the principle of competition
between naturally competing lines"

COLLEGE MEN MOST

Show Little Respect for Laws OF

Illinois Association.

A Chicago special says: A report to
be submitted to the Oberlin, O.. Asso-
citation OF Illinois, at its annual meet
ing in Chicago nj an early date charges
the college bred men with being the
most lawIess element of modern socie-
ty. The report has been compiled by
an Oberlin alumni committee of Chic
agoans, and the data has been collected
from all over the United States. The
general indictment is twofold. IT &C
cuses college men of being knowing
breakers of the law and of being in
different when they see the law being
broken by others Among the spe-
cific findings Of the committee are the
following; = ~
1T was found that many college men
elected to office in city, state and ma
ton, after taking an oath TO enforce
the laws of the land. are violating
their oaths by not enforcing certain
laws on our statute books.
1T was found that many college and
university men in Chicago belong TO
clubs where the members have kept
the bar OF these clubs open on Sunday.
contrary TO the criminal code of Iii
nois.

They are fun blood buffalo, and Major

to harness but to saddle. All who saw

VETERAN has MANY
RELICS or CIVIL WAR
Pennsylvania Whose Sword Was

entoes Gathered from Battlefield.

-- Harrisburg. Pa, special says:
Probably the rarest and most valuable
private collection OF war relics from
the battlefields of the civil war is that
owned by Professor ]. Howard Vert.
of this city, and stored away at his
home on North Second street, above
Foester. Professor Vert WIS a iieu-
tenant in the Two Hundred and Ninth
Pennsylvania Volunteers. but long be-
fore he entered the army he had gath
cred q collection Of relics at Gettys-
burg that could not be duplicated In
any museum in the country.
Gettysburg was his homo. and he
was there during the great decisive
battle, acting as guide to the Union
forces and doing other patriotic wark.
He afterward went into the army and
was in Hartranft's division In front 3f
Petersburg when Lee surrendered
His Gettysburg relics were gathered
within a few days after the battle and
are all labelled with inscriptions show
ing what part OF the field they were
taken from.
In one case. framed. are Professor
Wart's shoulder straps. his orderly ser
geant's cheyren, Confederate buttons
and bullets from ten battlefields. and
bullets from the scene of the seven
days fight In front OF Richmond. In
boxes, packages and bundles In almost
every room in the house are hundreds
of things gathered on bloody fields.
There are many things that are seldom
found in similar collections.
One OF his most interesting relics
is the sword he carried in the charge
ON the Confederate fnrt-in- front of
Petersburg. As he held 1t aloft
grapeshot from the enemy's battery
struck the blade and broke 1t in half.
One of his men recovered the missing
half the next day, and he has the sword
complete.
