TRAFFIC SANS COMPETITION.

TRAFFIC SANS COMPETITION
A recent report of the commissioner
of corporations states that nearly All
of the coast line water traffic, in the
United States, is controlled by the
railroads of the country. Instances
are cited where the lines on the At
lantic coast, with but few exceptions,
are operated as the railroad managers
want them operated. Former boat
lines. with good business in both
freight and passenger trade, have
either sold controlling interests to in
terested railroad companies or have
little business left. The commissioner
points out actual cases where railroad
lines, in direct competition with water
traffic. control the latter and what
water traffic competition is allowed
comes because the railroad managers
say so. For instance the ownership
OF line between Savannah and New
, Georgia railroad, a majority of whose
stock is held by the Illinois Central
railroad, fifth of whose stock is con-
troiIed by the Union Pacific interests.
IL is long way around but it may
point to the reason for some higher
an-they-ought-to-b freight charges.

EVERY ROSE A TRAGEDY
A granddaughter of the big st. Louis
brewer had a coming out party and
the roses alone cost $4,000. They
were real roses, not the kind that the
FAMILY have been taking from the
cheeks or women and children. But
every rose represented a tragedy. 1t
Is strange that some one did not see
stalking around at the feast the wan
faces of the women whose lives had
been ruined, the children who were
practically forced into crime and the
DIoated eyes of the men who have lost
their all in their pursuit of drink We
would like to have a coming ont party
for little girl, but we would not pay
such a price for it. Would your

LONDON. June 14-Lord Mersey. in
giving his instructions for the summing
up of the evidence in the Titanic probe
declined to express an opinion on the
conduct Of J Bruce Ismay. managing
director OF the International Mercan-
tile Marine saying that different con
siderations might arise regarding his
actions.
u do not intend to comment on Is
mays conduct in leaving the ship" he
said. 1T is too difficult to determine
whether he took the right course
shall not try"
He said that, as regarded the conduct
of Sir Cosmo and Lady G. c. Gordon
who were alleged to have bribed the
seamen manning the lifeboat to row
away from the victims struggling in the
water. he thought it undesirable to ex-
press an opinion upon the conduct of
individual passengers.
Sir Rufus, who is appearing in his =
cial capacity S attorney, general to rep
resent the government insisted that the
case of the steamship Californian, which
saw distress rockets of the Titanic but
did not go to her aid. be taken up with
view to official action Lord Mersey
in replying said that he had supposed that
he had no jurisdiction to advise whether
or not the certificate of the captain of the
Californian should be revoked.

Awakened at an early hour today by
a noise on his porch, william Johnson,
of 545 Central avenue, peered out and
discovered an aged woman lying just
outside. The woman seemed dazed and
was unable to give an account of herself.
She was apparently 70 years of age.
Police Call Officers McWlliams and
Anderson took the woman in charge and
sent her to the police station pending an
investigation. She said there that her
name is Mrs NJ NJ Blumenthal, and that
she lived at 1877 Crew street. No one
there knew anything of the woman. La
ter in the day, her disappearance was re-
ported to the police and 1t then devel-
oped that she lives at 1853 Crew street.
