FROM BUSINESS MEN.

More than year ago number of the
leading commercial organizations OF the
country petitioned the Commission for
general investigation into the rates
and methods Of the express companies,
and in its order to-day the Commission
says that the inquiry is ordered to de-
terlnine whether such rates, classifica-
tions, regulations or practices, or any
of them, are unjust. or unreasonable,
or uniustly discriminatory, or unduly
preferential, or preiudicial, or other
wise in violation of the provisions of
said act, and to determine the manner
and method in which the business of
said express companies, and each Of
them, is conducted, !"
The reduction in express rates filed
yesterday are said to be important only
in so far as they affect what arc known
techpically as combination ates-that
is, for instances In which shipments are
made by two companies to final des-
tlnation. Express combination rates
have figured on graduation scale of
weights based on 100 pounds. If the
rate on a hundred-pound package is one
dollar, for instance, by the Adams Ex-
press Company to a junction point with
the United States Express Company,
and one dollar from junction point to
the shipments destination, the com
bined rate would be two dollars. BY
the terms Of the proposed tariffs, the
combined rate would be 81 Goa reduc-
ton OF Is per cent.

Sweeping Investigation.

Washington, July 1. A sweeping
investigation Of all the express com
panies in the United States affected by
the interstate commerce laws to-day
was ordered by the Interstate Com
merce Commission on its own motion.
Evidently in anticipation OF this in
vestigation by the commission, prac-
ticalIy all OF the express companies,
with the exception Of the Long Island,
late yesterday afternoon filed new tariffs
which are believed to show reductions
in rates, 1t As said to-day that it
would require several months to COM
pare these rates with those now in ex-
istence.
It also was announced that the filing
OF the new rates would not affect the
proposed investigation in any way.

Especial to The Farmer,

Hartford, Sept 20-The Senate of
the. sovereign State of Connecticut
without a quorum, and fruitlessly
trying to obtain one, was the elevat-
ing spectacle presented in the upper
house yesterday, after Senator follow
ing Senator had withdraw from the
chamber at, the back Of some lobby
list interested in securing the defeat
Of Governor Baldwin's veto of the
Connecticut River grab.
The lobby became; convinced that
should the bill come to vote yesterday
the veto of the Governor would be
sustained and the steal prevented.
Several Senators were absent, having
paired. Hence it was comparatively
easy to reduce the number of those
present to a number too small to do
business
The lobby began to beckon Senators.
The beckoned ones withdrew.
A motion finally was made that the
Senate recess until 8 O'Clock to give
the recalcitrants time to come in. At
2:45 Lieut.. Governor Blakeslee, whose
ire had been raised by the sextraordin
airy holiness of the lobby, declared the
recess Means were discussed to
bring in the missing Senators. There
was no sergeant-at-arms provided I'M
der the rules of the Senate, but SEN
ator Hooker was designated to labor
with the Senators. He left the Sem
ate chamber but returned soon with
the statement that the missing legis-
1ators refused to recognize his author
ity. AT last Senators Plat and Ell
lott entered to make a quorum, and
it looked as if business might pro-
coed and the veto of the Governor be
sustained. But at the hopeful mo-
ment Senator Spellacy left the room,
asserting that he had promised Sem
ator Barnum to procure a postpone
ment of action until today, which he
regarded he said, as fair.
Senator Mahan strongly denounced
the impudent actions Of the lobby.
Senator Hooker, former Mayor of
Hartford, was moved to profound an

do away with the perfectly natural
apprehension of the man afraid to
get on a train to go he hardly knows

Among the prize allotments to be
given away are $50 acres of grain
land in Montana, donated by Presi-
dent Howard Elliott, of the Northern
Pacific Railway, ten acres of irrigat-
ed land near Roswell, New Mexico,
and a five-acre pecan grove at ITALIA

average over $1,000 in value. 1t is

Immediately after recess Senator
Hooker introduced the following reso-
luton:
"Reso1ved by the Senate, That the
lawyers and lobbyists in the employ
of the Connecticut River Company be
excluded from the floor and ante
rooms of the Senate during the pend
ing action of the Senate on the Con-
necticut River Company's charter

Speaking on the resolution he said:
Il wish to voice my disgust with
the lawyers and lobbyists employed by
this Connecticut River Company
They have held up the business Of the
whole State and have delayed our
final adjournment. They have caused
Senators to be absent, when their
cause was in doubt. They walk in and
out among us and tell us what to do.

all recall the picture presented here
a few days ago when these lawyers
stood on each side of him over there
at his desk during a session and de-
clared to him the only good amend
ment that we were allowed to pass.

luton, to which Senator Hooker re-
piled: almost thou persuadest me to

The second hour sees the school di-
vided for the Industrial work into var
ious departments. Hammock making
isprovided for the olderp boys sewing
raffia work for the younger children.
A few play schools have been intro
duced but experience has proved in
most cases that the children prefer
to work rather than to play.
Public interest in the extension OF
this work is growing. 1t is impossible
for the churches Of New York, many
Of which are already struggling for
self-support, entirely to finance an
undertaking so extensive. In the sum-
mer of 1907, John Bauer. now profess
sor of economics in Cornell University
but then a student In the graduate
department of Yale, solicited and re-
ceived substantial assistance for his
vacation school all the way from a
Sunday school in Benkelman, Nebras-
ka, which he had attended as a boy
on his arrival from Russia years be-
fore. The spread of this work re-
quires a stimulation of the public con-
seriousness everywhere to the growing
practical efficiency of the church as a
unified agency for the education of
the state in its ethical functions. The
basis of selection employed in ap-
pointing teachers shows the utter abb
sence of narrow denominationalism.
In one school, located in a Baptist
church, the principal was Presby-
terian, one teacher a Methodist, an
other a Unitarian, another a Roman
Catholic. Some of the workers are
entirely without church affiliation, the
only Indispensable assets being char
acter, sincerity and enthusiasm.
This year the Church Vacation
schools are ten years old They are
bearing fruit. During the present
summer, the Presbyterian department
of immigration has also Joined the
movement, with a new group of
schools. A national organization has
been formed, under the direction of
the Rev. Robert G. Boville, who was
for four years head of the Baptist
City Mission schools, and in 1905 and
body, known as the National Vaca-
ton Bible School Association, has in
the past five years established centers
in Philadelphia, Chicago, Boston,
Providence and elsewhere. In the ten
years there have been conducted in
New York city alone an aggregate of
nearly two hundred and fifty church
exclusive of the schools of the nation
al organization. One of the teaching
staff this season. Miss Grace Ruel. a
Wellesley College Junior, was herself
a pupil in a Baptist Mission school
in the early years We do not expect
many such striking examples as Miss
Ruel, and indeed examples are often
dangerous and misleading. But we do
believe that from the continuous as

SOUTH AMERICAS
WORST BRIGANDS

I made many expeditions from Po-
tosi into the surrounding country,
writes w. Hilton-Simpson in the Oc-
tober Wide World. The Indians here
are the notorious Aimara, likewise de-
scendants of the Inias, and the worst
brigands in South America. Their
principal occupation is murder and
theft and until quite recently they
sacrificed their prisoners to the gods
and then partook of their flesh. AS
regards savagery, they easily excel
all other tribes The sacrificial vic
tim was not merely butchered, as hap
pens in most similar cases; he was
bound, and then the flesh was torn off
his living body and eaten by men, wo-
men and children. If in the pro-
cess Of being tortured, as much as a
moan escaped. his lips, the bones of
the victim were thrown away; but if,
on the contrary, he was stole enough
to be silent, the bones were collected
and set up on a pile of rocks to be
worshipped. 1t is still within the
memory of living man that human
meat was sold among the Aimara.
