ARGUMENTS BEGIN IN
 OKLAHOMA RATE CASE

St. Louis, December 27.-Arguments in the Oklahoma rate case, in which the railroads are trying to have the state of Oklahoma enjoined from enforcing re- duced passenger and freight rates began in the United States court of appeals here today. The suit is brought against the corporation commission of Oklahoma and the constitutionality of the commits sion Is attacked.
 Attorneys representing the railroads in their arguments tried to show the methods used by the Oklahoma corpor- ation commission in an effort to defeat the perfection of appeals from their orders reducing rates were arbitrary and obstructive. They also contended that 1t took repeated writs of mandamus from the supreme court of the state directed to the commission, commanding 1t to certify the records.
 The argument of the Oklahoma corpor- ation commission as presented by Attor- ney General West was that the commits sion had not time to fix the taxation value of the different railroads and that until such valuation became known the 2-cent passenger rate and regulation of freight rates as made by them should be in effect.
 The hearing closed with the afternoon session.

court of this court. This amendment pro vided that the returns should be mado public only under rules and regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treas ury and approved by the President. These rules and regulations, as finally pro mulgated, provided for restrictions on publicity in certain respects, but left open for inspection the returns of corpora tions whose stock was listed upon a stock exchange or advertised in the press or offered for sale to the public by the cor porations.
 the private affairs of these corporations open to the inspection of a competitor or any enemy in business much to the detri- ment of such corporations.
 The effect of the amendment, however, he says is rot to be measured by the rules and regulations that have been adopted, but by the power that is con- conferred upon the president
 "All may agree that the present chief executive" says Senator Foraker of his former competitor for the presidency would not abuse such a power, but no one can read the future and know that in time he may not have a chief execu- tive who will abuse it. It may be that we never had had a chief executive who would abuse it, but that is no guaran- tee against what may happen in the un- forseen contingencies and exigencies of the future"

Basis of Reapportionme.

Washington. December 27.-The coming congressional reapportionment will pro- vide for a total membership of 435 in the House of Representatives, according to present indications. This would mean one member to every 211,70o of popula- tion.
 Chairman Crumpacker of the House committed on census, and some of his as- sistants, have been digesting the statis- tical calculations recently compiled by the census bureau to show the effect of various systems of apportipnment on the representation of the different states. Of the 16 members of the committee II are from states which would lose one or more representatives if the present num- Der of members of the entire House Is maintained in the light of the population shown by the census just completed.
 It Is likely that the states will be pro- tected as MT. Crumpacker and others be- lieve that an increase to 435 will solve the problem, that being the least number that will save every state from any loss In the numerical strength of its delegation at Washington.

How to Play warming"

One of the players having been
chosen Warner" takes his stand at
the place marked off as home the
rest remaining little distance
from it.
The warner then calls Warning"
three times, and sallies forth with his
hands clasped in front OF him. In
this position he must try TO touch one
OF the other players, who strive TO
make him unclasp them by pulling his
arms, drawing temptingly near, etc. II
they succeed in making him loose his
clasp, or if he does so by inadVertence,
he must run home as fast as possible.
If he Is caught before reaching his
place as warner, he must so out in
the field and the one who touched him
becomes warner. II he succeeds in
touching any one without unclasping
his hands the captive becomes his ally

they can. Once home they are safe,
and they then start out hand in hand.
after calling the three warnings, and
try to capture another, without loosing
their hold. Every captured player is
added TO their ranks, but every one
must be taken home first before he Is
admitted to a share In the fight.
The line Of warmers thus increas-
lng' the dihcuity of evading cap
10 their ranks, but it is. also a source
OF weakness, being unwieldy; ana If
the hands do not hold to each other
tightly, a. player at large may break
through at any weak point in the line
and escape capture.
The held of play must be within
rather narrow limits, for the only
chance or the pursuing party TO make
captures is TO pen or corner the fugi-
tiVes.
The last player to escape being taken
becomes the next warner.
