RATE.MAkING PROBLEM
interstate Commerce Commission
Hears Railroad Argument.

CHICAGO, ILL. Sept. 26.-The
rate-making problem that confronted
the Interstate Commerce Commission
today was when the Burlington sys-
TEN appeared before that body and
asked the right to earn a reasonable
return on the value of its property.
The railroad representatives insisted
the amount of the returns has no lin
itations as long as the rates We're
reasonable. Attorney NJ. c. DAVIS, for
the railroad, supplemented this with
the declaration that the road needs
an additional Ss.o00 ,0oo in the pres
ent year to avoid a deficit and that
under the law the road has the right
to charge freight rates that would
bring this amount.

THEY SHOULD co SLOWLY.

Those who are thinking OF under
'ukug to put Newport News In the
Virginia state baseball league next
season ought to think several times
before taking any step. As this paper
has said before, Newport News Is
working mans town. and while our
baseball enthusiasts tmn out In con-
sd cradle numbers on Saturday at'er
moons. the people who can attend
games on other afternoons are few
sud ca between.
This paper is very much inclined TO
believe that it would be a mistake to
bring professional league club 10
Newport News. The proposition does
not look good from a business sand
point, and unless We can keep 'he
club and properly support it after we
get it, we don't want it all.
II the local enthusiasts will turn
their attention to q Reorganization oi
the Peninsula league. or the forma-
ton of another semi-professional Or

in such a league. Crr people Will see

tween grey" and gray" aside from
the matter of spelling?
The editor OF the oxford Dictionary
some Years ago made extended inquiry
as to usage and found that opinions In
London varied. Replies to his ques-
tons showed that In Great Britain the
form grey is the more frequent in use.
despite the authority Of DIR. johnson
and later photographers. who give the
preference to gray. Many correspond
ents said that they used the two forms
with a difference of meaning or appli-
cation. the distinction most generally
recognized being that grey denotes
more delicate or lighter tint than gray.
Others considered the difference TO be
that gray is a warmer color or that 1t
has a mixture Of red or brown. An
other group held that grey has more Of
sentiment. gray more OF color. which
may mean that grey is suggestion
rather than q positive outline.-New
