GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH
GIVES MONSTER PARADE

Delhi, Dec. ia grand, glittering,
glorious free street parade, with more
elephants in line than the combined
circuses, menageries and ZOOS OF the
world could muster, passed through
the thoroughfares of ancient Delhi to-
day.
At the head of the mighty spectacle,
surrounded by the picked soldiers of
Britain and India, rode King-Emperor
George and Queen-Empress Mary,
bona fide monarchs of the blood royal
Sad to relate, they rode in gilded
carriage, and not on the backs of ele-
plants, as the hundreds of thousands
of dusky spectators had fondly hoped.
The procession, which was adver-
tised on the bill as state progress"
was the final feature of the most mag.
nificent durbar ever held in India,
whose people have for centuries been
accustomed to tremendous pageantry
and to paying the bills by the sweat
OF the brows of millions, who during
prosperous times toll like slaves for
enough to keep body and soul to-
gether, and who when hard times come
lie down and starve The natives OF
India will remember today's spectacle
for years to come-the collector OF
taxes will jog their memories if they
fail.
Elephants by tens OF thousands-an
interminable file of the great, ugly
beasts-lumbered through the streets
of Delhi in he procession. 1t is said
that nearly half of the domesticated
elephants in the empire were brought
here for the pageant, but only the
sleekest and best appearing o: the ami.
mails were permitted to enter the pro-
cession.
To the Indian mind a procession of
elephants is more than a mere spec
tacle. 1t is a ceremony Of great re-
ligious significance, and the prepare

RAILROAD COMMISSION
FIGHTING FOR LIFE

A copy of the brief to be filed by
many of the state railroad commits
sions in the so-called Minnesota rate
case before the supreme court of the
United States was received Thursday
by Railroad Commissioner w. D. VIII
liams from Commissioner Clifford
Thorne of Iowa.
This case involves practically the
life of the state railroad commissions
and will go before the supreme court
next month. In the case Circuit Judge
Sanborn has held that state railroad
commissions have no authority to
make any rate within their own Dor
ders which affects any interstate rate,
or establishes a rate unjustly higher
or lower than the like interstate rate.
The railroad commissions of the states
insist that their intrastate power will
be nullified if this decision is upheld.
Leading lines in every state cross the
borders into other states, and the CON-
missions might not have any jurisdic-
ton at all over such lines if this de-
cision is upheld.
1t is the contention of the state COM
missions in the case that under the
constitution they have absolute right to

tons for the event have been marked
by numerous controversies. 1t is the
unwritten law that the highest poten-
tate must ride the highest elephant,
and the question of inches in the meas
ure of the beasts has led to heated
discussions.
One rajah Of comparatively unim.
portant state caused a lot Of trouble
by attempting to ring in" an elephant
taller than that which more important
rulers possessed. Had he been per-
mitted to ride the beast in the parade
there might have been bloodshed.
Wars have been declared for affronts
less serious than that.
A sacred elephant had been provid-
ed for Queen-Empress Mary, but that
lady refused to ride the beast on the
ground that it made her i'll to sit on
the backs of the numbering animals,
which have rolling motion somewhat
like ship at sea. And Queen Mary
is VIGOROUSLY \ poor sailor.
Tomorrow the king-emperor will be
off to Nepal, where he hopes to get a
good bag of the big game which
abound in that himalayan state. A
