TO keep out the new roads.
The hurried action of the city
council last night in adopting a
resolution to keep out the Milwau-
kee and the North Coast unless
terminal rates are granted was so
sudden and went through so
smoothly and with such unanimity
that the suspicious of the business
men who had been contending
that the new roads be admitted
have been aroused. They may be
laboTing under a delusion but they
can not reconcile the action OF the
city council with its previous LACK
of interest on the terminal rate
matter.
This question has slept peace
fully in the committee of the whole
for over a year and it is only in
about week that the council has
taken sufficient interest in the mat
ter to report it out. While the
resolution was thus pending the
council granted franchis to the
Great Northern to build connect
ing link with the Spokane, Port
land & Seattle, over which that
line will enter the city, and there
was no protest or demand for term
inal rates at that time.
Judge Brown, head of the Great
Northern legal staff, denies any
participation in an effort to keep

SIX-DAY AUTO
RACE PLANNED
(By United Press Leased Wire)

Wy S'''SS0 coo GS0SCu tVIIC)
NEW YORK, March PA six
day automobile race under novel re-
strictions is one of the suggestions
received today by the motor racing
association, in connection with its
efforts to improve the interest and
value of the speed contests at the
Brighton Beach motordome. The
plan is to have the competing cars
on the track for eight hours a day
for six consecutive days. All the
repair work and supply work would
be done during that time and the
cars would be under guard when
not racing, to prevent any work
upon them.
The eight hours running would be
divided into two four hour periods,
probably from 2 to 6 in the after
noon and from to II at night.

Have you ever held out on hub
by?
It's new idea, and was named
by theater managers, and it's fear
fully hard on programs.
You see, it's like this. A woman
tells her husband that Mrs. Brown
and herself are going to the theater
this evening-and Mrs. Brown tells
her husband the same.
Then they go wherever they de
sire, hesitating at the theater on
their way home just long enough to
get couple of programs, which
two husbands find in a conspicu-
Gus place as they go out in the
morning.
Jurors, federal and otherwise,
never are paid until the end of the
case or the week, but in this IL
stance an exception was made.
A case was on in the federal
court One Of the jurors from the
country thought he would like a
part of his pay before the caes was
finished. He asked the judge, who
fixed il for him.
It's just like this said the
juror. when | left my wife in the
country she knew it was going to
be one of them ere long drawn out
railroad cases, and warned me not
to get my shirts washed in the city.
The city laundries rip the life out
of EN- and she wanted to wash EN-
herself, so she said that whenever
| need clean shirt | should buy
one and take all the dirty wash
home with me, and that's what |
am doing. The old woman will

In a local uptown restaurant a
few nights ago man came in who
had suffered in the dentists chair
all afternoon. His gums We're sore
and the pleasure of eating nice,
leathery steak had to be foregone.
Bring me a couple of soft boiled
eggs and cup of coffee" he said
to the waitress.
In a minute she was back with
his order.
The fellow with the sore gums
took two spoonfuls and then scan
ned the room for his" waitress.
"Look-a-here,' he said in disgust,
when she finally appeared, Il or
dered soft boiled eggs, not soft
boiled chickens, and I'm rot going
to pay for any such truck as this,

Yes. sir" she replied, seriously,
Out you didn't order fresh eggs,
did you? They will cost you 10

cents: | want fresh eggs

Pretty soon a fellow came along

Just the thing So the owners
rugged up a huge electric magnet,
lowered it into the water, turned

AS the key reached the deck of

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-Stocks were

not seem to be any urgent demand re-

The complainants testified that

prietor OF the capital City Monument

for memorials TO be placed on graves

said that no work had been done OF

LEHMAN TO HEAD
COMMERCE COURT

One OF the most important matters
awaiting the attention Of President Taft
when he gets back to Washington is the
selection Of the men who will constitute
the new Court Of Commerce.
In view OF the magnitude of the ques-
tons this court IS likely to have to de-
eide, questions affecting vitality the rail-
road systems Of the country. the person.
mel Of this court IS Of no small moment.
That Frederick ". Lehman, of St
Louis, one Of the leading lawyers of tho
country, is likely to be made head of the
court, IS asserted in washington on high
authority Mr. Lehman is well known
to Mr.. Taft, and is much admired bv
the President, who is looking for a great
lawyer TO head the court
It Is regarded as certain that former
Senator COckrell, who is now an Inter
state Commerce commissioner, will not
be reappointed- On account OF his ad-
vanced age, he will not be named agasn
He IS from Missouri, and in order TO
prevent Missouri from losing patrona &c.
