There isn't anything dreadfully shock

Miss Jewel, as the reformed woman

sympathies of her audience as much by
her clever portrayal Of the role as by
the virtues of the character Hers was
a splendid bit Of acting and will rank as
high in it's artistry as anything she has
yet done. Mr.. Van Buren,. as the reform
ed murderer. gave a portrayal masterful
in its strength and impressiveness He did
the only killing in the play and did it
we'll. Mark Kent gave an excellent char
acter sketch In his impersonation of the
"safe and easy method thief. and Miss
Bondhill was both delightful and natural

who ran away from home to marry q
scoundrel and wound up by repudiatinS

mining engineer, who was very well rep

the police inspector, seemed to have as
much difficulty with his lines as he had
in correctly diagnosing criminal character
and Mr.. Penwarden lacked the poise and
polish that makes the real villain" in a
melodrama an attractive but hated object
Of an indignant audience. Miss Kent
gave a commendable character imper-
sonation as Christine. the Swedish
housemaid. and the remainder of the
cast afforded ample and intelligent sup

classes Of freight in less than carload lots,
but refusing to grant like free delivery

toner, Of 3142 14th street northwest, filed

tary John H. Marble declares that the

Summary Of Decision.

In its decision the commission recites:
complainant, confectionery merchant
alleges in substance that defend
ants unjustly discriminate against him
and other merchants doing business IN
the same locality. by charging them for
the delivery Of interstate freight, while
at the same time they deliver such
freight free Of charge to merchants and
business men in other parts OF the city,
and in some instances at much greater
distances.
Under defendants tariff at present IN
force free delivery on 18th street extends
north only to Florida avenue, while such
delivery is made as far west as 3Ith and
streets in Georgetown. The freight
station Of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company is situated at New York
and Florida avenues northeast, and that
of the other two defendants at Virginia
avenue and ~ street southwest. From
the latter station to :7th and l. streets
the distance is five or six blocks greater
than to compartments place of business.
From the former station to the same
point the distance is very much greater
than to compliments place of business.
The controversy involves shipments OF
freight of the first four classes in less
than carload lots

Little Change in Limits.

1.-THE service was established nearly
thirty years ago, and includes collection
Of freight as well as it's delivery. Though
the city has grown rapidly in recent years
and has greatly increased in population.
especially in the section here in ques-
ton, the limits remain practically the
same today as they were in the begin
ming. For brief period free deliveries
were made on 14th street north Of Florida
avenue as far as Park road, but this
service was abandoned January /. 1906,
and has NOT been accorded since that
time.
Defendants say that Georgetown was
originally included in the free zone be-
cause of the great amount Of merchandise
shipped to and from that section. That
there are now and have been for many
years a large number of stores and busi-
ness houses in Georgetown, and some in
dustries that furnish return freight, is
not questioned. But 1t also appears that,
due to the increased growth of Washing
ton north Of Florida avenue on 18th street
and in the territory adjacent thereto. there
are now in that vicinity approximately
seventy stores and business houses in
actual operation: also a general market.
an ice factory. and other business estab-
merchandise shipped to that section has
increased accordingly.
1.-The delivery charge to points beyond
the free-delivery zone, as shown by the
evidence. Is 2 cents per 100 pounds, with
minimum charge Of 10 cents per
package. This charge is made by dray-
age companies and Is not on file with
the commission. -" The chief ground
of complaint is that of unjust discrimina-
ton because Of the free delivery ex-
tended to Georgetown. The free-delivery
limits are prescribed by the defendants
in tariffs issued and filed by them.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1912-08-06
Contention of Defendants.

Defendants deny that undue discrimi-
nation exists. They contend that no
damage results to complainant when COM
pared with Georgetown merchants. We
are not favorably impressed with this con-
tention. The fact that defendants re-
quire complainant and other merchants
similarly situated to pay delivery charges.
whereas they do not require any such
payment from merchants engaged in like
kinds Of business in other and more dis
tant parts Of the city. must necessarily
result I'm undue prejudice and disadvan-
tage to both persons and locality.
Another contention is that to grant
free delivery to persons in the locality In
question would invite complaints and
pressure from other localities in the city
for like privileges. We have frequently
said that cases of alleged undue prefer
ence or prejudice must be adjudged upon
their respective merits. and manifestly
we could not in any case refuse to grant
relief merely on the ground that other
persons or localities might be thereby in
duced to seek like relief
Under all the facts and circumstances
we are of opinion and find that the prac-
tiee of defendants in charging complain
ant and other merchants in the same To-
cality for the delivery of their merchan-
disc while at the same time extending
free delivery to merchants and other
business men located in Georgetown. re-
suits in undue discrimination against
complainant and the locality in which his
place of business is situated.
