RAILWAY COMPANY
BLOCKED IN EFFORT.
TO INCREASE FARES
Chaplin Brown, of Chamber
of Commerce, Reports on
Alexandria Case.

The WASHINGTON Southern Railway
Company's attempt to increase its pas
senger fares between this city and
Alexandria from Is to 50 cents has been
frustrated. This is the opinion today
of Chaplin Brown, general counsel for
the Chamber Of Commerce.
The directors of the Chamber re-
quested Mr.. Brown 10 look into the
roads application before the interstate
Commerce Commission, and the brief
filed in opposition to it by Alfred +.
Wood, a local attorney. The Chambers s
general counsel has completed his ex-
amina ton, and finds that Mr.. Wood has
SO thoroughly covered the q ound in
argument against the railroads s appli-
cation that II will be unnecessary Tor
the Chamber to take any further steps
at this time.
Mr.. Wood has made a complete ar
gument against the application, said
Mr.. Brown, land 1 think he mas already
blocked the way for an increase OF
rates. l would recommend to the
Chamber that it protest to the Inter
state Commerce Commission II l did not
believe that everything necessary has
been done already by Mr.. Wood. IL
the Washington Southern insists upon
increasing its fares, ii will have to
adopt other means than those. proposed
to the commission; ! am conyincGd.
Il am surprised" said Mr.. Brown,
that the whole city of Washington.
with the exception of one Individual.
should have permitted this corporation
10 attempt to make so radical change
in a railroad passenger rate without
raising a voice against 1t.
The railway applied to the Interstate
Commerce Commission for permission
to change its rate on the ground that
its revenue for the eight-mile haul be-
tween Washington and Alexandria was
insufficient to cover the expensive ter
minal charges.
The claim was set up that the inter-
state rate Of $3.50 between this city and
Richmond was defeated by passen-
gers paying two fares. one between
Richmond and Alexandria and another
between Alexandria and Washington,
in order to take advantage OF the Nir-
ginia legal rate of 2Iz cents a mile. A
decision by the commission has not been
rendered.

COCKTAIL EXPERTS
SUSPECT CHERRIES
Pure Food Law Is Invoked by Inspectors Seize Stock
Alleged to Be Masqueradng Under Fake Brand
of "Maraschno."

liam Muehleisen Company, s16 Fifth
street northwest, Is said to have the
cherries in its possession, and to forcibly
seize and destroy them. Is asked by the
Government.
The Washington liquor firm is said
TO have bought the cherries from the
International Fruit Product Company,
of Cincinnati, acting as local distrib-
uters.
Misbranding and adulteration Of the
cherries Is charged in the Govern
merit's petition for condemnation. 1t
is alleged that, although the labels on
the bottles recite that the cherries
are preserved In a mild solution Of
sodium henzoate and are harmlessly
colored, they are in fact strangers to
the pure maraschino preservative and
In its petition the Government de-
fines maraschino as a '1iquer or cor
dial" well known to the trade, but
That the cherries named In the COM
plant have never been touched by the
real product. There are fifteen cases
Of cherries, each containing twelve
bottles.
Assistant United States District At
torney Peelle today secured an order
from Justice Stafford in the District
Supreme Court permitting the Gov
ernment to take samples OF the cher
ries for chemical analysis.

she related how In a spirit of mad-cap
mischief she climbed up to the top OF
the padded cage and hid herself away
one afternoon while a hue and cry was
raised and every nook and corner OF
the jail was searched in vain. II lay
