RAILROAD DECISION
PLEASES OFFICIALS
Courts Upholding of Valid
ity of Carmack Amendment
Ends Anxiety.

Officials Of the Department Of JUS
tice and of the Interstate Commerce
Commission are greatly pleased over
the decision of the Supreme Court in a
case against the Atlantic East Coast
Line railroad, In which the validity of
the Carmack amendment to the Hep
burn law is upheld.
By unanimous decision, the court held
that the initial carrier was responsible
for shipment, not merely over its own
line, but over connecting lines.
The Department Of Justice has been
greatly concerned lest this part OF the
Hepburn law be declared invalid. II
was admittedly a doubtful question.
The upholding of the law Is looked on
by the officials as Of the utmost i'm
pcrtance in insuring better service to
shippers.
A remarkable feature of the decision
yesterday was that Judge Joseph La
mar. as attorney for the railroad COM
pany. argued against the validity of the
Carmack amendment. W. 8. Kenyon,
assistant to the Attorney General, ar
gued for the unfolding OF the law The
decision was rendered Just after Judge
Lamar had taken his place for the first
time on the Supreme Court. OF course,
he did not participate In the decision.
The position of the Government, which
had intervened, was upheld in every
reSDect,

KEEPS EYE ON DOOR
/. WHILE WORKING NOW
Charlie Moy, Laundryman,
Takes No Chances on Re-
turn of Rufians.

Wearing a bandage around his head
and displaying a black eye, Charlie Moy,
Chinaman. is shining collars and cuffs
today In his laundry at so East Capitol
street, ard at the same time closely
watching the front door.
Finishing some laundry which he had
promised to have done this. morning,
Moy was working late last night, with
his back to the door, when five young
white men entered. Before the Celestial
had an opportunity to realize what had
happened, two OF the men grabbed him,
while the others proceeded to turn
everything in the place topsy-turvy.
Believing that they intended to rob
him, Moy struggled with the men hold
ing him, and yelled for help at the top
Of his voice. The noise created consid-
cradle excitement in the neighborhood,
and the intruders, evidently fearing the
Chinaman's screams would bring the
police, fed from the laundry.
While struggling to get away, Moy
received a black eye and a cut on the
head. He walked to the Casualty Hos
pital, where he had his injuries dressed,
and then went to the Ninth precinct po-
lice station, and made report Of the
affair.
The police say thev think the attack
on the Chinaman was intended as
practical joke, by the young men. who
were evidently out for good time. Moy
was unable 20 furnish the police with
their description, and there Is no clue
tn their identity.

Degrees.

Washington skaters are getting ready
for a season of sport, for the Weather
Bureau announced today that the cold
wave which blew in last night will

mercury is slated TO drop to about 10
degrees above zero tonight.
With this announcement bringing joy
to hundreds in the East. the South is
endeavoring to lessen the destruction of
what is fast developing into the severest
winter weather 1t has ever known.
The northern part of Florida has al

curry registered 2 degrees below zero,
the coolest weather known in that sec

the city had been visited by a storm.
Horses had great difficulty this morn
ing to keep from falling on the slip

storm was one of the worst that has
visited the Capital since the beginning
of winter.

that the weather has made good Ice

For ChiIbIainS and Frost Bites

Many persons dread the approach
of winter on account of chilblains and
frost-bites which cause a soreness
and itching at times almost unbear-
able, frequently bringing on a nerv-
Gus condition. To those thus afflicted
the following treatment will. be well
come information as 1t gives imme-
diate relief and soon cures. dissolve
two tablespoonfuls of Calocide COM
pound in a basin Of warm water
Inot hot). Soak the feet in this for
fifteen minutes. Repeat this for sew
eral nights until the trouble disap-
pears"
The action of Calocide compound
for all foot ailments is really re-
markable. By it's use corns and cal
louses can be peeled right off. Sweaty,
smelly feet and tender, aching feet
need but a few applications. Bunions
get relief instantly. Any druggist
has IT in stock or will get 1t from
his wholesale house. A twenty-five
cent package is usually sufficient to
put the worst feet in fine condition.

ASSESSMENT MADE
upon REAL ESTATE
Triennial Work of Board Is
Completed-Complaints
Secuted At.

The board of assistant assessors has
completed the triennial assessment of
real estate in the District of Columbia.
appeals from assessments may be
made by property owners to the board.
which, beginning today, will hold daily
sessions until the first Monday in June,
after which no changes can be made for
three years.
Declaring that ii is based on isolated
cases, w. P. Richards. Assessor of the
District, today submitted to Commits
sioner Rudolph an answer to the reso-
luton adopted by the Federation of
Citizens Associations, October o. con-
cerning the charge that "all assessments
on real estate in the District OF Column
bia have been ineQuitable and unjust, in
that improvements have been and are
now assessed at a very much higher
rate in proportion to value than land,
the latter in many instances being as
sessed at less than one-fourth of true
value, while improvements have been
and are now assessed at from 40 to 20
per cent Of true value, the larger ones
beig assessed lower in proportion to
value than the smaller ones
Isolated Cases.
This charge is based generally in
isolated or scattered inequalities which
can be picked out Of any assessment in
any community says Assessor Rich
ards.
IAN extra effort has been made TO
equalize values in the present triennial
assessment, and property owners have
been earnestly requested to look irto
he L.
or otherwise aid in a proper adjustment
OF the various valuations.
I'm every assessment where the law
requires the Assessor TO equalize the as
sessments many seeming inequalities ex-
ist, but upon investigation many Of these
inequalities disappear, or are not we'll
founded. These arise in the adjustment
of differences in real values. Others
arise in the rapid change of values in
some sections.
Three Years Term.
THE assessment is made for a term
of three years. II may be just at the
time the assessment is made, but by
the end of the term, bv reason Of change
Of value, it would seem to be unequal
and unfair.
1T is not claimed that the present as
sessment is, or that any assessment ever
will. be, equitable in all cases, but it
is claimed that there is no discrimina-
tion between values Of improvements
and values of vacant property. The
board is willing and anxious to listen
to all appeals, and will be pleased to
hear from representatives Of the various
citizens associations in regard to the
present assessment"
Figures showing the tot2l assessed val
uation of real estate in the District of
Columbia will be compiled by the AS
SCISSOR after June ], following the con-
clusion of the hearings on appeals.
