Joint REPORT OF.
CONTINUED from page u

the railroad commission of Canada.
on the proposed creation of an inter
national commerce commission today
was made public.
The report recommends the crea.
ton of the commission. The commits.
sioners, of the two countries were in
complete accord upon all matters.
The essential features of the report
follow. 1t is apparent that the ex.
listing laws of the nUited States and
of Canada are inadquate for the con.
troll of international carriers.
The regulations would be of mutual
advantage to both countries.
The regulations to which the inter-
national carriers should be subjected
is substantially that provided for the
Interstate carriers of the United
States under the amended act. These
regulations are summarized in the
proposed treaty by the United States
and Canada. The intended effect of
such treaty would be to subject the
international carriers to requirements
corresponding to those of intrstate
in the United States. To accomplish
the desired result the treaty between
the two countries would be preferable
to concurrent legislation.
The draft of the proposed treaty,
emitting the formal parts, is herewith
submitted:
This proposed treaty provides for
tribunal to be known as the Inter
national Commerce Commission"
which consist of four members; the
chairman of the interstate commerce
commission of the United States,
chief of the board of railway commits
sioners of Canada; member of inter-
state commerce commission, to be ap-
pointed by the president of the nUited
States, and a member of the board
of railway commissioners for Canada
to be appointed By the governor gen.
eral of Canada.
1.-THE powers conferred upon this
commission would correspond to
those exercised by the interstate CON-
merce commission within the United
States.
"The international carriers by water
between the United States and Can
ada should not be subjected to pro-
visions of such treaty, except when
they unite with raj carriers in either
country in forming through rates.
provisions of such treaty should
apply to telegraph, telephone and ex.
press companies"
In a fomral letter to the secretary
of state, Judge Mabie, as representa-.
tive of the Dominion of Canada, con-
Cured in the report. Two features
of the proposed treaty are notatable.
They provide that claims for repara-
ton shall not be heard by the inter
national commerce commission and
that that body shall not prosecute
criminal proceedings against shippers
or carriers. 1t is the purpose of Sec
rotary Knox to submit the treaty to
the senate at an early date with the
recommendation that it be ratified at
the present session Of congress.

members Of Fargo council No. IS. u.

roads doing business in this state
make il practice to detach from
mileage books one full mile for every
full mile or fraction thereof Travelled,
instead of taking and detaching there
from the actual number of miles trav-
eled.
The complaint further alleges that
the companies in selling trip and
round trip tickets charge full mileage
for every mile or fraction of a mile
covered by the distance between the
points. and that this practice is wrong
and works an injustice against the
traveling public.
The petitioner prays that an order
be issued forbidding the agents and
employees from collecting more than
the actual fare for the distance be-
tween the points of travel on their
respective lines and that each mileage
book be subdivided into one.half and
one mile subdivisions, and make
charge for trip and round trip tickets
not to exceed the actual mileage, bas-
ed on one-half mileage subdivisions.
Representatives of the petitioners
will be present WIN the session of the
board convenes and also representa-
tlves of the various railway lines do

Connely, wiping his hands on his
apron as he stopped preparations
for the evening meal at ditch
camp near Hudson Monday after
noon. I've been on the job ever
since Chief Camp turned me out of
the city Jail in Greeley"
Bicycle officer Preston believed
that Connely was telling the truth
and straightway mounted his trusty
bike and beat it back to Coroner
Macy with the information that the
body lying at the morgue that had
been identified as Connely belongs
to some other name.
The mystery of the man who
drank carbolic acid Saturday morn
grows deeper, and there are COM
plications coming into the case.
When the body was identified as
Connely relatives of his at Hoosick
Falls, n. Y, were notified and they
sent money here with instructions
to embalm the body and send 1t
east. The body was embalmed, a
new outfit of clothing purchased
and all made ready to send it east
80 soon as the inquest was over.
The inquest was completed yester-
day at Platteville when it was
found that the dead man ended his
life by drinking carbolic acid. But
the real live Connely turned up,
too.
The remains will be held for a
time in further effort to discover
the identity of the unknown man
who apparently was tramp. There
was nothing about his clothes to in
dicate his address or name. Several
police officers and others who had
seen Connely when he was in Gree
ley were sure that the body be-
longed to him, while the Salvation
Army officers and newspaper man
who had talked with Connely were
equally positive that the dead man
was not Connely, although the re-
semblance was close.

Misleading Statements Sent Broad
cast arc Retarding Development
Of States Manufacturing
Enterprises

The census department of the
government is issuing figures show
ing the growth OF thevarious indus
tries OF Colorado, and these figures
tell an eloquent tale OF the develop
ment of the west. During the past
few years sections OF the country
which have been trying to attract
immigration from eastern states
have been circulating statements
calculated to injure Colorado. One
OF the statements sent out to pros
pective settlers was that Colorado
was not q desirable place in which
settlers could locate because the
railroad freight rates were so hlgh
here that shipments in and out were
improbable. To correct this mis-
leading impression and induce set
tiers to come to Colorado the Colo
RADIO railroads have sent broadcast
through the east statistics OK the
growth of this state particularly the
counties that have been rapidly set
tied in the past few years
Among the statistics which lndl-
cate the growth OF Colorado INDUS
tries are the figures telling OF tne
growth in manufacturing III PueDlo
where the number of wage earners
has grown 4 per cent In hVe years,
and the pay roll total increased 90
per cent. In Trinidad the same ex-
traordinary growth is shown, the
total pay roll being S339,OO
Manufacturing in Denver has IN
creased until that city has yearly
pay roll of more than million dol
lars a month. In Colorado Springs
per annum, Other towns and cities
are shown to be in equally growing
prosperous condition.
The misleading reports sent out
by other sections OF the country
which are in rivalry with Colorado,
were largely based upon the state
ments made by persons who had
complaints filed with the Inter
state Commerce Commission, and
who have made the staetment that
manufacturing has been seriously
| injured in this state by reason OF
| high railroad rates. The railroad
rates in Colorado are high compared
with states in the east for the rea-
son that roads in Colorado are uh-
der tremendous expense for con-
struction and operation over heavy
| grades.
effect OF sending broadcast
Through the east the census figures
showing the remarkable increase In
manufactured products in this state
is to convince those who have heard
the ceaseless claim that factories
here have been put out of business
by high railway rates that there is
no truth in the statement ana 10
remove an impression which Is
widespread and which is doing Colo
RADIO infinite harm.
