RAILWAYS MAY
FIGHT RULINGS
Commerce Commission Opens
Way for Many Points Of
Violent Dispute.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July 10
In assuming jurisdiction over commu-
tation rates, It Ia believed here to-
day the interstate commerce commits
sion has opened the way FOR a largo
increase in its labors and may Lave
TO meet a question that will be con
tested by the railroads in the courts.
Commuters in the past nave been
accustomed to carry on unaided ATTY
contests with the railroads arising
from the rate question. In each To-
cality rates were fixed without re-
gard to the charges made In other
sections OF the country. At the hear
ing before the interstate commerce
commission It appeared that the rates
for similar service varied greatly in
different sections, and the claim was
made that the lowest Communication
fare was enjoyed by residents of New
Jersey. who travel to and from Now
York.
As result of the proceedings, It
is considered probable that commu-
ters paying the higher rates will col
lect comparative figures and then APP
ply TO the commission for orders Civ
ing them the same advantages as are
enjoyed by New Jersey commuters.
The attitude of the railroad attor-
neys in the New Jersey hearing midi
Gates that they will not concede Juris-
dictton Of the commission to regulate
communication rates, These rates, OF
course, are much lower than thos {
which the railways are legally per-
mitted to charge for passenger ser
vice, and the attorneys insist that the
control OF the charge to be paid by
commuters Is therefore vested IN the
companies.

ROME. July vivisectionists
have seized upon a letter written by
Pope Plus to Aldo Benefit, he Parish
priest Of Terraia, who has been e&-
perimenting with live swallows,
Father Benefit has invented an ae-
roplane with adjustable wings, identi-
cal to those of swallows In explaining
the principle of his discovery, Father
Benefit said he had studied the hight
of swallows, and admitted having cut
the wings off several live swallows
and fitted them with mechanical wings,
with which they flew. The priest add
ed that the birds were martyrs to
science. He said he had to test his
invention and had not the money TO
build models and was therefore bound
to use the birds.
Pope Plus instructed the bishop OF
Spoleto to warn the priest that furth-
er experiments with live birds would
lead to severe discipline At the same
time he sent the priest money to ena-
BILE him to build models, explaining
that he wished TO encourage aviation,
