ANOTHER EXPOSURE

This Is the harvest season for the
"snitch" stenographer, who is willing
to part with his self-respect and
honor along with confidential infor-
nation for a small remuneration to
publications, which dish II up with a
seuce Of home manufactured suspici-
Gus circumstances to make the whole
look like a gigantic conspiracy to do
something-the public is left to guess
what.
The last to succumb to the tempter
was a stenographer in the interior
department at Washington, who in
formed a representative OF a newspa-
per association that the letter of
President Taft in defense of Secre-
tary Ballinger was actually prepared
In Ballinger's office and submitted to
the president, and that many OF the
expressions we're verbatim as dictated
to the informant
Today President Taft corroborates
the wonderful revelation OF the late
stenographer. and says the letter was
prepared in Secretary Ballinger's Of
flee at his own suggestion and sub
mitted to him. Thus another Wash
ington sensation flattens out. and the
press association must feel that it
has paid the "snitch" a big price for
something the president would have
told himself If he had been asked.

ed to be President Taft's choice for

PREPARING FOR THE COMET

Boston, May 16.-Agreeing that
no harmful effect is to be exper-
fenced on next Wednesday, when the
earth passes through the tail OF
Halley's comet, New England astron-
omers appear not to concur as TO
1.-THE possibility of luminous display
similar to northern lights. Prof.
David p. Todd. OF Amherst college,
thinks the aurora effect probable.
Prof. Robert w. Wilson of the Har-
ward college observatory declared
today there may be a darkening OF
the atmosphere, while Prof. Edward
C. Pickering, head of the Harvard
observatory, said:
IL doubt IL there will be any
effect at ALL"
Prof. Wilson said further that
there may be a shower of charged
particles, very small, but numerous,
which may affect wireless tele-
graphy.
There is no cause for alarm or
fear. Cyanogen exists only near the
head and the tail is a good
vacuum"
Is More Brilliant.
Prof. Todd declares that there
will be no more sensation than that

distant candle in a persons hand.
There is an equal amount of cyano-

SENATOR PAINTER GO'
WORK
GOOD

Senator Paynter made a strong
play for reelection when he secured
the long and short haul clause in the
railroad bill, and if the provision ac-
comphshes all that is claimed for II,
many interior towns will have cause
to thank him for his efforts. The pro-
vision, as We understand 1t, compels
railroads, II they propose to haul
freight for less to a distant point
than they do to any intermediate
point on the line, to submit to the
interstate commerce commission rea-
sons for it. Some congressman think
the provisions extend the authority to
the commission to revise the rates to
every intermediate point to corre-
spond.
For instance, the city Of Spokane,
Washington, complains that goods
are shipped to Seattle, 500 miles be-
yond, from New York and then back
to Spokane, 500 miles more. for less
than they are shipped TO Spokane.
Competition and ocean rates are the
excuses given by the railroads for
this apparent discrimination. Chat
tanooga has complained that goods
from the east are shipped through
Chattanooga to Memphis and then
back to Chattanooga for less than
they are to Chattanooga, and Chat
tanooga merchants are maintaining
a steamboat line in the Tennessee
river, in an effort to make Chatta-
nooga a competitive point under the
ruling of the commission.
How far-reaching this win be in
affecting the competition between
cities. and in building up the whole
sale and manufacturing trade OF in
terror towns. can be imagined.
Heretofore. rates have been re
viewed only upon complaint of the
shipper. Under the proposed law the
burden devolyes upon the railroad to
show cause why rates should be
changed, and the commission has au-
thority OF its own motion to review
elassifcations as well as rates, while !
an ftinerant court OF review Will be |
ready to give prompt attention to all |
appeals. thus saving expense OF |
money and time in the final decision !
Of such controversies.
The physical valuation OF railroad |
property and the supervision Of all
issues OF stocks and bonds by the in
terstate commerce commission. to
prevent issues for any purpose other
than the physical improvement Of the
lines and to prevent issues beyond
the ability OF the company to meet
its obligations, are other provisions, !
which will stop stock jobbing in the
future.
This is the Taft bill as originally
proposed, with the long and short |
haul clause added. and the bill is |
likely to become law substantially
as outlined.
