-FOUR BALLS, THREE BEARS
West Virginia Farmer Kills Dam and
Three Yearly Cubs BY Using
His Lead.

Cumberland, Md, Feb. 21.-To kill
four bears with but two dogs and a
gun with only four rounds of amnuni-
ton is a record which but few hun
ters make.
This is the accomplishment in about
only ten minutes of exciting expert
ence of John McFall, who lives on
Turkey creek, about eight miles from
Webster Springs, w. Va, Friday. He
penetrated the woods to look after
some stock and took his rifle and two
dogs. Presently the dogs discovered
an old bear with three yearly cubs
in hollow log and routed them out.
The mother bear, monster of her
kind, came out first, fiercely attacking
the dogs. McFall fired but it required
two balls. both of which were effec-
tive. before he brought her down.
Two cubs following were dispatched
with a shot each, McFall was now
without ammunition and there was
still another. The dogs attacked this
enc, which, like the mother, was al
most full grown. and most formidable
and an ugly fight was on when McFall
seized a heavy club and despatched
the animal.

FREIGHT CARS HURLED
INTO c. & 0. CANAL
Broken Wheel on 8. & o. Freight Car
Tears Up Track at Sandy Hook
and Wrecks Train.
From The World OF Thursday

y IOu lHe WOFlu OF thursday.
This papsr told yesterday cf the
wreck ON the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road, just east of Sandy Hook, in
which twelve loaded coal cars were
rolled dcwn the embankment irto the
Chesapeake and Ohio canal and two
ether freight cars were smashed IN
Oh the rails, blocking the east AID
west bound tracks and delaying traf-
fic for over three hours. This was the
substance Of the only information OBJ
tainable yesterday afternoon.
The accident occurred shortly be-
fore one o'clock yesterday afternoon
the eastbund coal train being drawn
by engine 251S, and was caused by
about Is inches of wheel breaking
cut OF the fifth car from the engine.
Before the train could be stopped
four rails on the east bound track
we're badly notched by the broken
wheel and then it left the rail The
road bed was torn mp for 200 feet and
the track damaged for a distance of
about 1900 feet, and in the crash en-
suing fourteen of the cars met the
fate described. Fortunately rome OF
the train crew was hurt.
1t is estimated that it will require
1900 ties and 700 feet of rails to re-
pair the damage done. 1t was one of
the worst accidents on the road in
Icing time, so far as damage to track
and rolling stock are concerned.

NO ADS" FOR
TRANSPORTATION
Supreme Court Rules That Advertise
ments Must BE Paid For
With Money.

Washington, Feb. 21.-Only money,
and aot advertising, can be accepted
by Interstate railroads in payment for
transportation, according to an inter
probation announced by the Supreme
Court OF the United States of the Hep
burn rate law of 1906.
The decision involved large num-
Der Of contracts between the Chicago,
indianapolis and Louisville Railway
Company and various publishers.
The contracts bstween the so-called
"Monon Route" and the Frank A.
Munsey Company gave rise to the
principal case BY the terms OF the
contract the 'fMonon Route" was to
get one page of advertising in Nun
sey's Magazine in exchange for $500
worth of transportation.
The Government contended that
this was in violation of the Hepburn
law and asked the court to enjoin the
railroad from issuing transportation
IL maintained that IL advertising could
be accepted, railroads could also ac-
cept coal. iron, wood, oil or anything
else in payment for transportation
thus opening the door to wholesale
discrimination among shippers.
The railroad argued that as long as
the substitute for money in the pay
ment for transportation is equivalent
in value to money. there is not "dif-
ferent" comp nsation under the law
The United States Circuit court for
the Northern District of Illinois grant
ed the relief asked by the Govern
this decision.
The court also decided that inter-
State railroads cannot issue passes for
Interstate transportation, even
though they had contracts to do so be-
fore the enactment CT the Hepburn
rate law
This question came up in suit to
compel the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad Company to issue passes to
Erasmus l.. Motley and his wife. The
Mottleys were injured in railroad ac-
cident years ago. In settlement of the
claim arising out of the accident the
railroad agreed to issue to them, free,
passes over its line as long as they
lived That was il 1871
After the Hepburn rate law was
passed the railroad declined to issue
the passes on the ground that the law
forbade It, Suit to require the rail
road TO do so was finally brought to
the Supreme Court. which said in
substance that no contract could de-
feat proper governmental regulation
OF Interstate commerce and contracts
must be considered as made with that
principle in mind.
Justice Harlan delivered beth opin-
ions.

AGAINST THE INCOME TAX.

Such performances as that OF the
West Virginia Legislature in rejecting
the income tax amendment to the con
stitution are calculated to give pc
culiar encouragement to all we'll
wishers OF the democratic party.
1t is not impossible that the mega.
tive vote in West Virginia may prove
the crisis in the effort to carry the
amendment. There is yet hope that IL
may carry despite this setback. But
the West Virginia performance is al.
together regrettable.
1t is difiicult to see wherein West
Virginia can congratulate itself on the
assembly which is sitting at its CAPT
tai this winter Immediately follow
ing the election of the new Senators
charges were made on the floor that
money had been used in improper
ways. There was demand for i1vesti-
cation, but it was smcthered, and ap-
parently there is no prospect of any
action unless, as in the Lorimer case,
H. is taken at Washington, which is
not at all probable.
The West Virginia assembly has
been giving decidedly a bad account
CT itself, and its performance reflects
on the democratic party all over the
country, precisely as does the pro-
cedure of the Tammany-ridden legis-
lature at Albany.
Popular election of Senators is GO
ing to be rejected in the Senate
though there will b. comfortable
majority for it, the necessary two
thirds will not be counted. But this
much can be taken as certain that
the performances of the New York,
Montana, Iowa, and other legislatures
will give such an impetus to the move
ment that the resolution will hardly
fail in another Congress.
After March the insurgens
strength in the Senate will be greatly
increased, and there is small doubt
that two-thirds majority will be mus
tered for IT, TIL re will be delay Of
year in forcing action on the mat
ter; that is all. The popular elections
amendment is going to carry, aud sub
terfuges such as Sutherland amend
ment, urged by peopl who really want
10 defeat tn main question, will not
long defeat the purpose of the coun-
Washington Times.
