Power of Interstate Commerce
Commission.

WASHINGTON, June Z. - Blow
after blow was given the new com
merce court today by the supreme
court OF the United States, which up :
held the exclusive Jurisdiction OF the
cases of the Interstate Commerce
Commission over the administrative
machinery OF the federal rate laws.
The principal decision was an
nounced by Chief Justice White in
the so-called Proctor and Gamble
case" He was sustained by the en-
tire court. In substance he held that
the commerce court was not to sub
stitute its judgment for the Inter-
state Commerce Commission in the
administration OF the rate laws. The
specific point ruled upon was that
parties who failed to get relief be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Com
mission have no right TO go into the
commerce court and have that court
pass npon the facts 20 ascertain II
they should heve been granted relief.
No New Powers.
In the course Of his opinion, Chief
Justice White. however. went further

CHICAGO, June 7.-Senator Dixon
at the Roosevelt headquarters issued
statement tonight excoriating men,

Until the roll was called on the
Ninth Alabama District" says the
statement. Il was not prepared to be-
lteve that a majority OF the National

The Nation might as well know the
truth--three minutes before the roll
was called on this contest, Senator
Murray Crane. OF Massachusetts,
walked over TO Mr.. Stevenson. OF

Senator Scott OF West Virginia, and
said TO him:
We simply cannot AFFORD to 90 on

Mr.. Stevenson replied: We have

lish a precedent We will not have TO

In his bitterness at being repudi.

Taft has now determined II possible

TnfnIlfHnmoar Yuranl

Washington. -. o., Jnns y.
Continued Taft victories before the
national committee has greatly en-
couraged President Taft and his sup
porters. Simultaneous with this en-
couragement a powerful sentiment has
crystallized since the news OF the
Taft victories reached Washington. OF
a compromise in favor OF Hughes
This talk OF compromise emanates
from congressman favorable to Taft.
and IL Is regarded as highly improb-
able that the Hughes talk would come
from certain men who have been
boosting Taft unless they were
authorized TO do so by the White
House. President Taft realizes now
that the nomination is his n he wants

Having demonstrated this. he is to-
night being urged 20 throw his sup

dent OF the United States demand in
tervention
Z Some of these steps have already
been taken. January 16 last Secre-
tary Knox served notice upon the Gu
ban government that the President OF
the United States looked TO Il TO
prevent a threatened situation which
would compel the government OF the
United States. much against its re-
sires. TO consider measures Il must
take in pursuance OF the obligations
OF its relations TO Cuba"
The issuance OF a proclamation by
President Taft Is all now necessary
to meet the legal requirements pre-
limlnary to intervention.
There Is still no present intention OF
sending more battleships into Cuban
waters.

READING IN BED.
Not Injurious to the Eyes II Few
Simple Rules Are Observed.

To those addicted To the practice OF
reading i'm bed the remarks Of Or. Carl
Seller will be of interest. He states
that there is TO valid reason to be
urged agains; using the eyes i'm a prop
er manner In recumbent position
such use is the least tiresome and
can be persisted in FOR longer periods
without damage than any other posi-
ton.
We all know that grave damage Is
often done by reading i'm recumbent
posture. but therein possibly some
oculists are at fault. Had it been the
universal practice during the last
twenty or thirty years to give careful
directions how TO read lying down in
stead of saying TO one ana all You
must not read lying down" there would
be less near sight and better eyes in
the community than now exist.
Three easily avoided errors cause all
the harm possible from reading lying
down, the first often leading to the
other two. They are insufficient or
wrongly directed light. short reading
lstance and tipping the book ont OF a
plane at right angles to the line OF
vision.
If. however, everyone reading lying
down will so arrange his lounge or
bed that the light comes over the head
without striking the eyes, and falls
we'll upon the page; if he viii hold his
book at a long reading distance ana
take care that the line OF letters shall
be ut right angles to the line Of vision
he can be sure of doing his eyes no
more harm thar If he were sitting up
More than this. there is much posi-
lively In favor of reading lying down
Or. Seller concludes THE recum-
bent posture allows more rest of the
bodily structures than the sitting pos
ture and there is greater possibility Of
