General Protest Made.
The railroad presidents made a gen.
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1910-01-08

There is every reason to believe
that the message of the President will
go farther than ever proposed by Pres
icent Roosevent, and that it will be
while conservative in tone, decidedly
radical in proposals. AS understood
today, the President will ask Congress:
to put into the acts relating to inter
state commerce the following import
ant additions
First. An Interstate commerce
court, which shall pass upon all 40
peals from the interstate commerce
commission, and from which there
will be no appeal, except to the Su
preme Court of the United States
This would take away from the dis
trio and circuit courts the hearing oi
these cases. and confine the whole
subject TO one court. To this the rail
roads make objection.
Second-Power for the interstate
commerce commission TO hear and en-
terrain complaints against unjusi
classification of rates just the same
as existing power to hear complaints
against rates themselves. The Pres
ident believes that unjust classified
ton of rates is fully as detrimental Il
shipping interests OF the country as
unjust emphatic protest against this
proposition also.
Third-Giving power to the inter,
itiate complaints against common car.
riers and the right TO hold up a pro
mulgated rate before il goes into ef.
feet. At present the commission is
limited to investigation OF specific
complaints only and cannot interfere
with rate until 1t has gone into ef-
feet. If the Presidents ideas become
law the commission can take up any
case of its own accord and stop rate
before it becomes effective.
Fourth-The power TO suspend even
the rules and regulations of railroad
IL considered by the commission un-
just to the shipper.
Fifth-The shipper to have the
choice of routes of shipment the Law
not now giving that route.
Sixth-Prohibiting railroads from
acquiring stock or other interest in
competing lines and giving them time
to get rid of the interests they have at
present.
Seventh, and most important of all
railroads from issuing
stocks and bonds or other obligations
until after approval by the commits
sion, no stock to be held at less than
par and no bond below reasonable
market value. This would give the
commission the power to pass upon
the physical valuation OF railroads.

Girl Who Gets Under the Fence.

A certain young woman who is much given to country delights is es- pecially fond of walking. Now walk ing through a lovely lane with sum- beams sitting through breeze swayed leaflets is a deight to anybody, even the most conventional soul, but walk ing through the really truly country, encountering everything from wire fences to bulls, is quite another story.
 But even the fences have no terrors for this young woman; she has been tout" several years. How does she manage it? Why she first sizes the fence up. Fences are of but two sorts, generally speaking, rail and wire, and they may be negotiated in just three ways. If there be a convenient open ing this expert naturally crawls through. A close set rail fence is usually but wa1kovehe

played in Australia is not dangerous,
if of great athletic benefit and an
accident is rare occurrence, says
Consul Baker Of Hobart in an account
Of game which lie sends to the Bureau
Of Manufactures.
The Australian game, devised to get
rid of accidents, the consul SAYS, re
quires a field oval in shape and at least
$50 yards from one goal post to the
other The players at the start are
ranged along the edges OF the field,
down TO the center.
AS the science of the game is to keep
the combined method of play open the
game never closes up and the teams
never meet in personal struggle. 1t is
not allowable to trip q man, put arms
around his neck or otherwise endanger
him. The ball can be taken from a
man only by knocking it from his hand.
The game has been well established
in Australia to the exclusion of the
oId-style and the consul 5 report SAYS
as many as forty thousand persons at
tend the games at Melbourne.

FlFTEEN-MILE RACE ON THE
CARDS FOR DECORATION DAY
Nigel Jackson Going to Infuse the Runners
With Enthusiasm and Oxygen by
Means of Machinery

More marathonlng is on the cards
and the echoes of the last one had
hardly died away before another is an
nounced. The formal announcement
was made yesterday of a ifteen-miIe
race to be run at the league grounds
on Decoration Day, May 80, between
eleven of the best long distance men in
the Islands
Despite the dampening that might be
thrown on the race by the misunder-
standings that arose over the last one
the coming event promises to come near
being what the promoters say it VIII
be, one of the best sporting cards ever
offered the Honolulu public.
The race viii be between Vincent
Comes. the winner of the last race;
Antoine Kaoo. Nigel jackson. Connie
Hayes, Dial Fahy, Feagler, Frank Enos,
Corderje. Frank Scharsch. c. K. Charlie
and Tsukamoto. the Japanese runner.
At least these will be in the field, ac-
cordng to Nigel Jackson who is doing
his best to keep up his reputation as
the champion long distance marathon
promoter.
None Of the other runners have been
heard from except Kaoo, at this early
date, but it is presumed that they have
all agreed and the announcement was
made definitely. At least. Honolulu
can I keep away from a marathon or a
semimarathOn.
The feature of the race viii be the
| fact that the oxygen machine imported
| hv Nigel Jackson viii be used by all
the runners if they wish to. The abil-
| tiles of this machine border on the
