RATE REDUCTIONS
RECEIVE SETBACK
Commerce Court Says |. c. C.
Exceeded Its Powers.

The United States Commerce Court yes
terday granted a temporary injunction
against the Interstate Commerce Com
mission in the important intermountain
rate cases. The courts opinion, although
only relating to the temporary injunc-
ton restraining the commission from en-
forcing its orders, pending a determine
ton Of the merits of the appeals, indi-
Gated that the court will permanently
enjoin the enforcement of the sweeping
reductions ordered by the commission.
These reductions affected practically
every railroad in the country and applied
TO nearly all articles in interstate COM
merce. The order of the commission was
one Of the most important ever entered
by ii, in many cases the reductions in
rates ordered amounting to 20 per cent.
The opinion OF the court estops the
Interstate Commerce Commissions at
tempt to divide the country into rate
zones and to apply general rates to these
zones without Investigations in specific
instances. The court holds that this is
entirely beyond the power Of the Inter
state Commerce Commission. The opin-
ion of the court was delivered by Judge
Mack.
One Of the concluding paragraphs reads:
In so far as the commission attempts
thus to determine the relation of the
long and short haul rates, irrespective of
thority that has been vested in it; for 1t
is not in the power Of the commission to
say that 100 per cent, 107 per cent, or any
given percentage of an unknown less
than reasonable rate to the Coast is
necessarily q maximum reasonable and
nondiscriminatory rate from the same
point of origin to an interior point"

OBLIGATIONS NOT DISCHARGED.
During the fiscal year 1911, for the
months of January to May. inclusive"
says Mr.. Tweedale, 1.-The funds available
for the payment of police and fire PEN
sions were insufficient to discharge the
payment of pensions in full. The def
cheney in the police relief fund amounted
to $10,3O43O. and in the firemen's relief
fund 10 s5,262, making the total DEFICIENCIES
for both funds which are still unpaid

The total cash payments made during
the year to police pensioners amounted
TO $S0,O61.43 and to fire pensioners $685.

Guiding the DEFICIENCIES in the two funds
for the months of January to May, in
elusive, the total demands upon the funds
during the fiscal year amounted to $l34,-
1881.
AT the commencement OF the fiscal
year 1911 there was a balance on hand in
cash to the credit Of both the police and
tiremen's relief funds S7,O29.90 The col

balance to the credit Of the two funds

was applied to the payment Of pensions
for the month of June.
AN analysis of the revenues available
for the payment of police and fire pen
sions for the fiscal years 1907 to 1911, in
elusive, and the charges accruing during
that period for pensions granted and
authorized by law, shows that while
there has been an increase during the
five years, using the two extremes as a
basis of nearly Is per cent, on account
of pension liabilities, there has been a
decrease of nearly 10 per cent In re-
sources.
Sources of Revenue.
The payment of police and fire pen
sions depends primarily for its chief
source of revenue upon the fines i'm
posed and collected in the Police Court.
In the fiscal year 1907 the revenue de-
rived from this source amounted to $107,-

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH
A Pleasant, Simple, But Safe aud
Enectual Cure For 1t.
COSTS NOTHING TO TRY.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are a full or bloat-
ing sensation after eating, accompanied
sometimes with sour or watery risings
n formation Of gases, causing pressure
on the heart and lungs, and difficult
breathing, headaches, tickle appetite,
languid feeling.
There is often foul taste in the mouth,
coated tongue, and if the interior of the
stomach could be seen it would show a
Shiny, infamed condition.
The cure of this common and obstinate
trouble is found in a treatment which
causes the food to be readily, thoroughly
digeSted before II has time to ferment
and irritate the delicate mucous surfaces
of the stomach. To secure a prompt and
healthy digestion is the one necessary
thing to do, and when normal digestion
is secured the catarrhal condition will
have disappeared
According to DR.. Harlanson, the safest
and best treatment Is to use after each
meal a tablet, composed of Diatase,
Seal, and fruit acids. These tablets can
now be found at all drug stores under
the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
and not being a patent medicise can be
used with perfect safety and assurance
that healthy appetite and thorough diges-
ton will follow their regular use after
meals.
The plan of dieting is simply another
name for starvation. and the use of pre-
pared foods and new-fangied break
fast foods simply makes matters worse,
as any dyspeptic who has tried them
knows.
AS Dr. Bennett says, the only reason
can imagine why Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are not universally used by
everybody who is troubled in any way
with poor digestion is because many
people seem to think that because a
medicine is advertised or is sold in drug
stores or is protected by a trademark
1t must be humbug, whereas, as a
matter of truth, any druggist who Is OBJ
servant knows that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets have cured more people Of ca
tarrh Of the stomach. indigestion, heart
burn, heart trouble, nervous prostration
and rundown condition generally than
all the patent medicines and doctors
prescriptions for stomach trouble COM
bined.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest
preparation as well as the simplest and
most convenient remedy for any form
of indigestion, catarrh Of the stomach,
biliousness. sour stomach, heartburn,
and bloating after meals.

YOUTH SHOT DOWN
In MOTHERS VIEW
Lewis TrOutmann, Aged 20,
Dying in Hospital.

Painting as she saw her son reel and
fall to the ground with a bullet wound
between his eyes, Mrs. Mary Troutmann
lies i'll at her home in Capital Heights,
Nd, suffering nervous prostration, while
her son, Lewis Troutmann, twenty years
old, is at Emergency Hospital battling
for his life with a bullet in his brain.
Arthur Carroll, colored, seventeen
years old, who pulled the trigger OF
.S2-caliber revolver which he did not
know was loaded, was arrested shortly
after at his home, in Fairmont Heights,
and is held at the Ninth precinct sta
ton. The accident occurred shortly be-
fore o'clock last night at the trolley
station this side of Chesapeake Junction.
Carroll was showing the revolver to a
group of youths and swapping the trig-
ger to show It was in working order.
Then, Just as the car bearing Mrs.
Troutmann was stopping before the sta
ton, Carroll pointed the weapon at
Troutmann and pulled the trigger.
There was an explosion and Mrs. Trout
mann, who heard the report stepped
from the car in time to see her son
stagger and fall. She screamed and fell
in a faint. The wounded youth was
placed on a car and removed TO Fifteenth
and H streets, where the car was met
by an ambulance.
At the hospital, surgeons made an
X-ray of Troutmanns head and gave up
hope for his life. He has not been
conscious, and it is feared death will
occur in a short time from hemorrhage
Of the brain. Detectives Evans and
O'Dea made an investigation and were
present when Carroll was arrested by
Constable Benjamin Sanderson, of Prince
George County.

resentative Charles Lindbergh, Of Mime
sofa, was taken violently i'll Of indiges-
ton. He was taken to Casualty Hospital
in an ambulance. Last night he was re-

Representative Lindbergh was seated at
table near the entrance Of the restau-
rant, ano had just begun the meal he
had ordered when he turned pale, and
before the attendants could reach him
fell from his seat to the floor. It was
at first feared he had been mortaIly
stricken.
On reaching the hospital he revived,
and within a few hours had partially
recovered. It was said last night that

within q few days.

1911 the Police Court fines dropped to
So, a. or a falling of OF s15,3S7.02. It
is hardly believed to be possible that the
payment of the deficiency OF $15,566.30 in
police and fire pensions can be made
until other sources of revenue are
authorized by Congress. The present
collection of revenue is just about SUI
ficient for the payment of monthly pens
sIons in full, but this condition, It is be-
lieved, Will hardly extend throughout the
fiscal year 1872 During the winter the
collection of fines in the Police Court
falls below those made in the summer
months. II seems extremely probable
that there will be a deficiency in pen
sion payments during the fiscal year 1912
as large, II not larger. than that In
CURED during the fiscal year 1911 This,
however, is purely an assumption, as the
answer to the question depends upon the
volume OF moneys obtained from the
Police Court fines.
An earnest effort should be made TO
obtain the enactment into law of the
bill now before Congress providing new
sources of revenue for the payment of
police and fire pensions. The additional
funds carried by this bill would place
the police and f1remen's pension funds
upon a stable basis for a number of
years to come
LeE1SIAIlOn recommended.
Mr.. Tweedale recommends the enact
ment of legislation. providing that all
District expenses be included in the an
nual District appropriation bill. At
present some District departments and
institutions receive their appropriations
through other sources. This recommen-
dalton was made some time ago to the
Presidents commission on economy and
efficiency. Under the proposed plan the
vouchers for all disbursements, with the
exception of the appropriation for the
sinking fund and debt, will pass through
the office Of the auditor. This, II is said,
will prevent all possible financial COM
plications and will make error prac-
ticaly impossible.
The total expenditures of the District
government during the past year, accord
ing to the report, amounted to Sl2l63,-
620.61.

plea was made for a writ OF habeas
corpus before some court in the building.
District Attorney WIlkerson and his as
sistants began scurrying around the
building for the scene OF action and burst
into Judge Kohlsaats court room just as
Attorney Miller was reading the last rev
lines Of a long petition.
The government forces were paralyZed
with the suddenness of the move. The
packers were asking a writ on the ground
that the criminal sections of the Sherman
antitrust law were unconstitutional, and
that the petitioners were ROW actually
imprisoned and restrained of their lib
erty."
Was Not Notified.
The district attorney demanded to
know whether the action had any bearing
on the trial of the packers set for
Monday and why the government had not
been notified of the petition for 4 writ
He gathered from the reply that the gov
eminent was not notified because notice
is not required by law. He opposed the
issuance Of the writ under the cIrcum-
stances as an injustice to the court ard
the plaintiff.
Judge Kohlsaat issued the writ after
the argument, and set the hearing for
Thursday morning.
Inc poSslDlnteS OF the SITUATION are a.
most unlimited. Should Judge kohlsaat
make the writ permanent, the govern
ment would take an appeal to the Su-
preme Court, and months would he con-
sumed in argument and legal moves.
The government believes that II Judge
Kohlsaat rules against the packers, the
trial may begin Monday. even though the
defendants appeal. This move will mean
another fight, in which the packers Will
ask the court to cite the government at
tOrneys in contempt.
Attorneys Are Astounded.
The boldness of the move is astounding
to attorneys The packers seek to prove
unconstitutional a law on which they
fear to be tried under charges Of crimi-
nal conspiracy. The constitutionality Of
the law is already before the Supreme
Court in the famous naval stores cases.
