AFTER COMMISSION
Wants Next Legislature TO Create
isame-ciaims More VIII Be
Learned of Corporations.

Wheeling. w. Va, Dec. 10.-'I be-
lieve publicity is the greatest correct
er of the evils connected with the
management of corporations. and II is
for that reason, among others. that !
have been advocating and hope to see
created at the next session of the leg
islature a Public Utilities Commits
sion" writes Governor William Il.
Giasscock in a letter to B. S. HonecA-
er, Of this city Continuing he says,
zone of the reasons in my judgment
for the crea ion of a Public Service
Commission Is that we may find ont
more about Public Service Corpora
tons and acquaint the public with
their actual condition
A number of states have already
created commissions of this nature
and the agitation is natural. One OF
the first khings the new legislature
will be called upon to do will be to
act on a bill Of this nature. The COM
mission will have extensive powers
and all public service corporations in
the stale win be subjecttto investiga-
ton. There will not be less than
ahrec members of the commission, and
supervision will be exercised over
railroad and street car lines, telephone
and telegraph companies and express
companies.
A commission of this nature VIII
make a Railroad Commission unneces-
sary. A railroad commission would
make it necessary to have separate
commission for ether public utility
companies. That there will be some
opposition to she bin there is but lit.
lite doubt but indications are hhat
il will be passed.

THAT BELLED BUzzARD.
May Be This Will Convince the Ha-
aerstown Mail

A Leesburg correspondent writes:
We see in the Hagerstown Mail
that our story of shooting the large
Bell Buzzard that has been heard and
seen for 20 years is doubted Now we
will say that on election day Mr..
Goodhart and his neighbor, Mr.. Allen.
were out hunting and this bird flew
up and Mr. Carl Goodhart shot and
killed the old buzzard
He secured the bell which was fast
ened around its neck and one wing
with a copper wire. The bird must
have certainly usffered greatly as the
wire had cut deeply into the flesh of
the old Disease Carrier" as they are
called. think Mr.. Goodhart should
have a Carnegie medal for his heroic
and kind act.
