SOCIALISM OFFERED AS
MAIL ORDER EVIL REMEDY

Kansas City, Mo, Jan. 25.-Coun-
try merchants, to save themselves
from being swept out of existence by
the big mail order houses, must or
ganize for their own protection, was
a declaration by former Attorney

tion Of the country merchant would
mean concentration of the distribu-
tion OF the necessities of life in the
hands Of a few great corporations.
Boyle believed the only solution of
the dilemma then will be in state
and national socialism"

LOCAL INTEREST
IN THE DECISION
SUPREME Courts Reversal Of inter
state Commission Ruling I'm
portant--Other Cases

A word Of caution has been drop
ped by the United state Supreme
Court to the Interstate Commerce
Commission against issuing orders
based on Its own Investigations rath.
er than upon the tes,'mony OF wit.
nosses.
The court, speaking through Justice
Holmes. cited the commissioner
statement that this had been done
when II issued an order requiring
the Baltimore and Ohio Southwest
ern Railroad Company and the Nor
folk and Western Railway Company
TO grant physical connections in
Southern Ohio 10 the Cincinnati and
Columbus Traction Company, an in
terburban electric road.
The commission held that the elc-
trio was a lateral branch line of
railroad" within the meaning of the
law, but the Supreme Court sustain
ed the Commerce Court in holding
that the electric line appeared to
have been built without regard to
the existence OF the steam roads and
was not lateral branch" The or
der requiring the steam roads to
grant physical connections with the
trolley line is annulled by the decs-
ion.
The word of caution" handed
down to the commission directly
criticises the fact that the commits
sion, according to its report. based
its conclusions more largely upon it's
own investigation than upon the tes-
timony of witnesses.
AS the case in question Is nearly
identical with the lase now before
the Interstate Commerce Commission
in which Frederick shippers ask
that the Baltimore and Ohio and
Northern Central make physical con-
nections with the Frederick railroad,
the Supreme Court decision is at
tracing considerable interest in that
city.
Some of those interested in the
proceedings have taken the SUI
preme Court decision as unfavorable
to their claim 1t is noticeable
fact, that although the decision of the
commission ordered the physical
connection to be made; this order
was annulled by the supreme Court,
although the higher court did not
pass upon the question of the power
of the commission to require steam
roads to grant connections with cleo
trio lines as such.

ELECTRIC ENGINE
AMONG THE RELICS
Baltimore and Ohio Road Sends One
Of the First Used Here to be
Pla@ed In Storage

Evidently the first electric locomo-
railroad for pulling trains through
the long tunnel under the city of
Baltimore have become obsolete and
are no longer equal to the task of
pulling the heavy trains of today as
they were nearly score OF years
ago when they were first put into
use.
One of the first of the engines built
for the railroad by the General Elec-
trio Company of Schenectady has been
brought TO this city from the Mount
Glare shops and will be placed in
the old round house at the east end
of the yards where it will repose
with the old engines and models
which are kept as relics to mark the
progress of railroading in this coun-
try.
This old round house contains
many of the Anticipated steam pow
er engines from the old Fulton. to
the later type of "Grasshopper" and
Camel Back" This new addition to
the collection will bring the relics
up to modern railroading,
The engine which now stands on
a side track just west of the Burke
street bridge has been dismantled of
great many of its parts but it will
serve for exhibition purposes as the
connections for lighting it have been
preserved.
While the engine bears the NO 1"
on its sides. yet it is not No. l. for
under the coat of black paint where
the Il" now shines in new paint can
be readily seen the outline of a fig
ure 2. However the engine Is identi-
cal with the first one used by the
road and VIII serve for all time to
come to remind the people of the
time when electricity was first used
as motive power on the first railroad
built in America.
The officials here will find some
trouble in making a storage place
for the engine as the old round house
is pretty we'll utilized at the present
time for other work besides housing
the Worlds Fair exhibit of the Bal
timore and Ohio.
