"A TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY OF Ny
DEPARTED FRIEND JAMES
HURLEY"
Our friend he was in every stage,
Our friend in youth, our friend in age,
Our friend in grief, our friend in joy,
His friendship was without alloy.
He greeted us with friendships smile.
Great was his heart and without guile,
Our faults he hid as with cloak,
Yet stood for right, firm the oak.
Preferment did not change his mind,
Nor his devotion to mankind,
Our veal was joy, to his great heart.
Our woes, were of his woe a part.
Whate'er his station, high or low
His love unwavering all did know,
His kindness every one did share,
Ger us he watched with tender care.
We knew him when of humble name,
He knew US when wide spread his fame
His deeds of love toward all the boys
Filled life and heart with many joys.
A nobleman by nature he
A friend of men of all degree,
Gods handiwork here was displayed
When this great nobleman He made
Today we're mourners at his bier
Our hearts are sad: We drop a tear
In memory of our loyal friend
Who loved his fellows to the end.
Ger his sacred dust this shaft we raise
Yet needs he not our need of praise
His memory lives in works well done
Which through all time will follow on.

HALF RETURN RATES DON'T GO
Efforts of Shippers Fail Before
Commerce Commission.

Chicago, ILL.,, March 31.-Efforts
of shippers to secure approval by the
Interstate Commerce commission of
the practice by railroads of granting
half rates on returned shipments of
goods have failed and the commits
sion has reaffirmed it's former order
to the effect that rates on returned
goods should not be made lower
than rates on the same goods when
new and of full value. This decision
has been reached by the federal body
on the ground that it is impossible
to supervise properly or police prop
erty the return shipment privilege.
The commission adheres to its for
mer decision that a reduced rate
based upon the return character of
the shipment is unlawful, in that it
creates a lower charge, where, from
a transportation standpoint, substan-
TALLY similar circumstances and con-
ditions prevail
The shippers sought to obtain re-
esta blishment of the old privilege on
the theory of the inherent lower value
of the returned goods, but this the
commission deems too elastic to al
low proper safeguard against abuse.
