ANACOST|A MUST
SUE FORMALLY TO
SECURE REDRESS
Commerce Commission Can
not Compel Carriers
Free Delivery.

Little announcement was given the
Anacostia Citizens Association BY the
Interstate Commerce Commission this
morning in its effort to secure free de-
livery rates from telegraph, express
and other common carriers unless for
NAL action against them is begun or
the grounds OF discrimination.
So far the citizens have acted in
formally and II the companies against
whom complaints have been made DO
reduce their rates 1t will be through
voluntary action. 1t is not believed at
the commission that they will do this
and If redress Is secured IT is said II
will not be until after a formal hearing
has been held and the commission has
issued an order.
The commission has written the Ana
costa Citizens Association in part as
follows:
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has no mower arbitrarily to direct
carriers to change existing rates. The
commission can only make an order re-
quiring carriers to change rules after
full hearing in a formal proceeding.
"All the commission can do informal
ly is to bring your communication to
various telegraph, railroad and express
companies. II the carriers do not de-
eide to remove the cause OF your COM
plant by voluntary action, and II is
believed there is unjust Discrimination,
the question can be authoritauvely de-
termined by the commission and an
order made"

FOR MEMBERS USE
Convention Authorizes Ex-
penditure to Determine Ad-
visibility of Scheme.

If plans now under consideration by
the Elks bear fruit, that organization
will within a few months build a mag
niicenr tuberculosis hospital for its
members. A committee was appointed
at the convention which closed Thurs
day at Atlantic City. and authorized to
spend 5000 In ascertaining the advisa-
bility Of such a step and to report at
tho next annual convention to be held
in July. 1911. at Portland. Ore.
According to Rossa Downing. delegate
from the Washington lodge, who re-
turned from the resort Saturday, q
majority Of tho EIks are in favor of
such hospital. AS vet there is moth
ing definitely decided.
The Washington Elks said they had
the best time ever. as the Atlantic City
convention was the largest and most
brilliant in the history of the organiza-
ton. They described tho great parade.
participated in by nearly 5000 Elks,
as a gorgeous pageant, although Wash
tngton was not represented in line
Prizes were given for various stunts,
but the Capital City men did not bring
back any.
The EIks are much pleased by the
election of John P. Sullivan, of New
Orleans, as grand exalted ruler. They
say he is the right man for the place,
and his popularity may be Judged from
the fat that his election was made
unanimous by the opposing candidates,
Charles Rasberry and Arthur More
land.
1t was decided by the delegates to the
convention to make II compulsory on
every lodge throughout the United
States to celebrate in fitting manner
