ASK COMMISSION ID SUSPEND IFS ORDER The Trans-COntinental Rail- roads Want Decision
 of Court

Washington, October 4.-The trans-con- tinental railways today asked the inter state commerce commission to suspend its orders in what are known as the Pa cific Coast cases, involving the heaviest railroad traffic in the United States, ln- til the commerce court has had time to pass upon their crosswise merits.
 The roads also asked the commerce court to enjoin the commission in the matter. Neither the commission nor the court took any action. f 1
 It was indicated to the commission by Attorney Norton of the Archison, To- peka and Santa Fe and billiard of The Union Pacific, representing not only their own lines, but all carriers interested in the present prices, that the carriers 2ur- posed to institute proceedings in iniunc- tion before the commerce court to re- strain the interestate commerce eomms- sion from putting in effect it's orders re- ducing the trans-continental freight rates.
 The orders of the commission will not become effective until November 15 and it was considered by the commission that the commerce court would have ample time meanwhile to pass upon questions Involved.
 Until the commerce court has taken up the matter the commission will not grant the application of the carriers for sus- pension.
 It is probable the commerce court will take up the cases in d few days with a view of determining whether the tempo rary injunction shall be granted.
 In any event the probability is that the questions involved will reach the su- preme court

CHALONER WANTS
 HIS MONEY BACK

Charlottesville, Va, october 4.-John Armstrong chaloner spent two hours before United States Commissioner Booth again today, contributing the depo- sitfon begun yesterday in which he expects to demonstrate to the United States circuit court for southern New York that he is sane and entitled to possession of the s1,5oO.oO held for him in New York by a committee.
 Chaloner's statements today were quite as remarkable as those of yes terday. He insisted that his predic- tion or trance utterance" of March, 1897, that he would develop a physical resemblance to Napoleon Bonaparte had actually been borne out. Photographs were introduced to support his asser- tions of a facial metam morphosis-that his eyes had changed from brown to gray and his nose straight to Roman. He denounced ordinary clairvoyants as "fakirs" and declared that there were only two xceptions-hlmself and young Partisan woman who foretoid a calamitous fire known as Le Charite Bazar. which occurred about 20 years ago and who also predicted the low ebb which English poetry would reach It was this trance utterance" that was largely responsible for the impris ! onment of Chaloaer in the Blooming dale. N. r.. asylum, from which he escaped By proving that his predic
 tion has been fulfilled, he hopes to rid himself of the New York judgment
 against his sanity and thereby gain
 the right to enter his native state a | free man and at the same time recove | control of his estate.
 | Chaloner's suit against the commit | tee probably will be reached about
 January l. The depositions now being
 taken will be introduced then.

SEA GIRT, Sept. II. = Governor
Woodrow Wilson, when interviewed
yesterday at the executive mansion on
the State camp grounds here regarding
the charges of r. T. Crane, the wealthy
Chicago owner of the Valve World,
touching on the morals and drink
habits of college students, was re-
luctant to say anything in reply, as the
article had not before been brought to
his attention. He reminded the re-
porter that some time had elapsed since
he had peer in close touch with affairs
OF Princeton College.
However, the Governor yielded
enough to say. without having read
the article referred to, can truthfully
say thai during the period of my obser-
vations there was nothing so marked
in college life as the Improvement of
he morals of the students. Particu-
larly was this so in regard to drink
ing"
He said the charge of immortality is
perfectly absurd"

Cocktail Latest Drink;
Has Policemen Worried

but it hoes not take so long to get over
the effects.
But the new drink has the Newark
police worried. They are wondering if
there is any danger of an explosion as
a result of the prisoner who drinks the
c~oncoction being Jared while going
over the cobblestones in the patrol
wagon. And. too, just how pad the ex-
plosion will be. Others of the cops are
wondering if too much of the new
drink will make a man feel like fight
ing. and if it does will they dare soak
him one with their nightsticks.
According to the police, a man who
drinks nitro-glycerin in a cocktail does
not really come under their j%urisdic-
ton. He is a case, they say, for the
bureau of combustibles.
The bomb cocktail is discussed at
length in the Medical Record. 1t is
branded as a very dangerous drink.
As a cordial, only limited quantities
of nitro should be AIKEN, for too much
is apt to send the drinker up in the
air na4ghty soon. According TO Newark
thirst-quenchers the drink in Jersey
will be called BLACK Hand" cocktail.

Though the medical world was in
