Interstate Commerce Com.

Petitions.


Washington. ID. g. Feb. 23.-Tha
Interstate Commerce Commission de-
cIdea against the railroads n 10th
tho Eastern" and the Western
rate cases. The decision. eagerly
awaited By road and shippers alike.
sas handed down late this after
noon.
Proposed advances IN class freight
rates In oficiai classification terri
tory, aggregating among all the rail
ways In the territory approximately
100000 year. were .disapprov-
ed by the commission.
In the case involving the increases
BY the railroads In Western trunk
line territory the commission also
declined 10 approve the proposed ad-
vances in commodity rates.
The carriers in both cases are re-
CURED TO cancel on or before March
10th their advanced tariffs and re-
store their former rates, which are
the rates now In effect. Should this
requirement be not complied with
the commission viii issue a formal
order suspending the proposed ad-
vances and putting into effect the ex-
listing rates for at least two years.
In the case of the Railroad Com
mission OF Texas against the Atchi-
son, Topeka & Sante Fe Railway and
other carriers, known popularity as
the Southwestern rate case, the COM
mission declined to disturb the COM
modify rates or the first-class rates
complained of. The defendants are
ordered, however, to reduce the sec
ond-class rates, which were increas-
ed from $1.21 to $1.25. On the re-
naming classes the defendants are
required to restore the rates in eff
feet before the increase rates were
published.
In brief, this is the disposition
made by the Interstate Commerce
Commission Of the most important
cases ever brought to it's attention
In sense, the decisions were in the
nature of surprise to railroad of
ficials and other experts who had
followed closely the proceedings, a
majority of whom believed the com
mission would grant some increase
to the Western trunk lines il not
to the Eastern.
After considering exhaustively the
whole subject, however, from every
viewpoint, the commission could no
see it's way clear to grant any ad
vance in rates, although it concede.
that in the case of some of the road:
an increased revenue is needed.

SAUNDERS BOASTS LEGISLATURE

1.-THE Down Homer Thinks the State
is Paying Too Much for the Ma
teriaI i'm Use-Says the Important
Legislation is Done by Lobbyists.
Mr.. w. o Saunders, editor of 1.-THE
Down Homer" of Elizabeth City was
in Raleigh a few days ago and took
look-in on the Legislature. All may
not agree with Mr.. Saunders i'm
preston of the Legislature, but here
is what he wrote for his paper:

capital, last Thursday night and Fri

ing would take the space now occu-
pied by vender of cheap cigars and
bottled dope and make desk room for
$40 a week clerk. / would send all
the legislators back home and let this
$40 a week clerk do their work.
The most important legislation is
done by lobbyists anyway; it is nearly
certain that the lobbyist could con-

undisturbed, would have weathered

the scheme of the surrounding tree

REPORT ON GORE CHARGES.
McMurray Charged With Using 'Un-
due Influence''-An Effort to Fix
the Indian Chiefs.


Washington, D. c., Feb. 2S.-The
special committee of the House, ap-
pointed last summer to investigate
Senator Cores charges of attempted
bribery in connection with J. w. Nc
Mnrray's Indian attorney contracts in
Oklahoma, made its final report to
the House tonight.
The majority of the committee
finds that Jake L. Hamon actually
did, about May 6. 1910, make an
improper proposal to Senator Gore
respecting the McMurray contracts,
and that about June 16, 1910, he ap-
preached Representative Charles F.
Creager with an improper proposal
on the same subject. The commit
tee nfids no evidence, however, to
show that Hamon was acting "by au-
thority of, or with the consent or
knowledge of McMurray."
On this ground the committee ex-
onerates McMurray of any connection
with an attempt to influence members
of the House or Senate. 1t does find,
however, that he used more than "un-
due influence" to secure the support
of Chief Green McCurtain and his
son, D. MeCurtain, in getting these
contracts, by transferring a contin-
gent interest of $4,000 in the con-
tracts to D. McCurtain.
The committee finds that no mem
Der of the House or Senate had any
interest whatever in the McMurray
contracts

SPEAKS ON DISARMAMENT.
Count Apponyi Addresses Philadel-

Quite Ripe for Disarmament.

Quite Ripe for Disarmament.
Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 28.-Count
Apponyi, a member of the Parliament
of Hungary and prominent states
man of that country, visited Philadel-
phia to-day and tonight made the
principal address at a meeting of the
Academy of Political and Social Sci
ence. He took for his topic, "The
Menace of War as Europe Sees IT,
Justice Horace Harmon Lurton, of
the United States Supreme Court,
presided at the meeting, which was
attended by a large audience.
Although Count Aponyi is in Amer
lea on a mission of universal peace,
he declared this afternoon in an adj
dress to the students of the Univer-
sity that disarmament at the present
time would be folly.
"The time for disarmament" he
said, sis not yet ripe. When it comes
it must be simultaneous. 1t would
be the height of folly for any nation
to take this step at present when
peace is not secured. We cannot do
away with the fact that the POSSIBLE
ity of war exists. Not to arm our
selves because we believe in peace is
as foolish as not to lock ones door
because one is for honesty
Count Apponyi declared that .the
preservation of peace is now the main
object of diplomacy. The hope of
the future" he continued, is to
make peace dependent not upon good
will of individual rulers, not upon
tendencies that prevail this year or
the next year in the public policy of
nations, but to make it secure among
their institutions"

Il Visit to the Highest Court In
the World.
Continued from last week.
From the dome We went TO the
s,atuary hall. It is semi-circuIar IN
shane. and was designed by Latrobe.
affer a Greek theater; Is one Of the
most beautiful rooms In the Capitol.
ON the north side IL has colonnade
~ Potomac marble, with white CAPT.
,aIg and a score of similar columns
m the south side supports a noble
arch. The domed ceiling, decorated
after that OF the Roman Pantheon,
gurlngs 81 feet TO cupola, by
which the room is lighted. Above
the door leading from the rotunda,
fs FranzonPs historical clock. The
design is OF history with recording
tablet borne in the winged car Of
Time, its wheels supported on
globe circled by the Zodiac. In the
arch above the south door Is eau
sicrs figure of Liberty proclaiming
peace, and beneath is an eagle
poised as about to fly. Ranged
around the hall are statues and por-
trait busts contributed by various
States.
This room was the Hall of Repre-
sentatives, and was the forum OF the
debates by Webster and Clay,
Adams, Calhoun and others whose
names are indellibly associated with
the history OF Congress. A plate set
in the marble floor marks the spot
where John Quincy Adams fell,
stricken with paralysis, during a
session OF the house. In the room
opening off from the Hall is memo
rial bust. whose inscription runs:
John Quincy Adams, who, after
fifty years of public service, the last
sixteen in yonder Hall, was sum-
moned to die in this room, % Feb
ruary, 1848."
Having received a card from Mr..
E. Y. Webb which would admit us to
the Hall of Representatives we de-
cided to go there.
The Hall of Representatives is
legislative chamber unsurpassed in
the world. The dimensions are:
length, 139 feet; width, SO feet;
height, 80 feet. 1t is lighted by a
ceiling of glass panels set in frame
work of iron In the ceiling are
painted the arms of the States.
The Speakers desk, of white
marble, occupies an elevated posi-
ton in the center of the south side,
and the desks of the Representatives
are arranged in concentric semi
circles, with radiating aisles. A sill
yer plate on each mahogany desk Gin
the House and in the Senate) has
engraved on it the occupants name.
In front of the Speakers desk are
the desks and tables of the clerks
and official reporters; on his right
is the Sergeant-at-Arms; on his left
the assistant door-keeper. The
Speakers SAGE is set on its pedestal
of Vermont marble at the right of
the desk
We then went to the Supreme
Court room, which is said to be the
highest court in the world. The
room was designed by Latrobe and
is semi-circular in shape with low
domed ceiling, having square cas-
sions of stucco work 1t is decorated
with screen of Ionic columns of
Potomac marble In front of them
is the bench of the Supreme Court.
The chair of the Chief Justice is in
the center, with those of the eight
Associates on either side.

ELECTRIC CHICKS is LATEST
Brood Is Hatched by Placing Bulbs In
Ordinary Incubator-As Lively
as Any Others.

Towanda, Pa.-Not satisfied with
being first in butter production Ia the
north tier. Towanda has the first
brood Of chickens ever hatched by
electricity in the state. and perhaps
IN the country. It all came about
through the ingenuity Of Clarence
Braund. a poultry expert, who is en-
ployed by local Illuminating COM
pany.
He conceived the idea Of substitut.
ing the electric bulb for the uncertain
kerosene lamp, which causes so manv
disasters because Of the risk Of its
starting fire, overheatisz or going
out.
Taking common incubator, he sim
ply wired 1t and used electric bulbs
instead for heating, and the result was
very satisfactory. All of the eggs but
one hatched out. The temperature
was kept even night and day without
any attention on his part. and the
chicks are as lively as any ever
hatched.
So pleased is the Illuminating com
pany with the experiment that 4 has
the chicks in the display window Of
its Office It is likely that the old
method Of using lamps for heat will
be relegated and that chickens Of the
future will be hatched by the steady
current from the nain plant.

car. He says he heard a Tapping of
wings behind him and saw his hen
flying up from the ground. She light
ed on his shoulder and just then he
dropped his nickel with which he was
going to pay his fare. The hen flew
from his shoulder. picked up the coin
with her beak and flew back to him
After she had seen him give the coin
to the conductor and had heard the
fare rung up, she flew away in the
direction of her coop. And Grohan
heretofore has borne the reputation of
"a truthful man.

NESTS MADE OF BANK NOTES

A pair of swallows of Fierberbrunn
in the Tryol have stolen number of
10 kronen bank notes to line their
nest
The parent birds discovered that
the new notes are just the shade of
blue to match their eggs, the tissue
being tough but flexible and exactly
the material that they needed The
nest and the missing notes were only
discovered when the swallows had
abandoned it and it fell to the ground.
This feat has been equalled by that
of an enterprising mouse in Dornbirn,
which ahstracted number of 90
kronen GGs. SD notes to the value of
cS, of a delicate reddish brown shade
from the cash drawer of butcher
and tearing them to pieces adapted
them to the purpose of making a nest
for her family of seven. The butcher
in his search for the notes suspected
and traced the mouse and found the
nest under the boarding. He care
fully picked up the remains of the
notes and returned them to the bank.
where they were pieced together The
butcher recovered 81 los, the bank
claiming los. for material loss"
caused by the mouse's teeth.
