The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1912-09-12

Three persons killed in one day In
Chicago by automobiles whose impa.
thence with speed regulations is ex.
pressed in their disregard Of them con-
stitutes bloody record that is suffi-
cient to cause a great deal of class ha-
tired. And class hatred is very nearly
as blind and careless Of whom it makes
suffer as is the speed mania of joy
riders.
The futility Of regulating the muir
derous rich by fning them is being
shown every day in many parts OF the
country. Not all motorists are rich.
And many of them who are rich are
not reckless. But there are many
owners of cars who can pay fines with
out the slightest financial inconven-
ince. They are not deferred by speed
laws which do not provide prison SEN
tence without an alternative.
When the damage has been done
when someone has been crippled, or
killed-it IS very difficult to convict
the culprit under a criminal charge.
But if the speed laws provided Jail
sentences and no fines perhaps it might
be possible to make the results Of
speeding in streets or public roads
annoying to the well-to-do, and thus
cat down the number of violations Of
the law. A jury will rarely send a mo-
torist to the penitentiary for running
down a pedestrian. A police Judge
might not mind sending him to Jail for
having driven his car recklessly, If
there were no easy way out of it by
assessing a fine which the motorist can
pay without feeling it,

NEW.ORDER MADE
IN SPOKANE CASE

Washington, April 17.-Comment-
ing on the order of the interstate
commerce commission yesterday in
the Spokane rate case. fixing May
as the date for further hearing as to
why the rate found to be unreason-
able by the commission June :, 1910,
should not be forthwith established,
Jos. n Teal said this morning:
1T will be remembered about two
years ago the commission made an
order establishing reasonable COM
modify rates from eastern points of
origin to Spokane. Thereafter the
fourth section was amended and an
other hearing was had and an order
made under it. This was contested
in court and is now pending in the
supreme court, having been argued
once there and being now reassigned
for argument October 10. As to
when it will be decided is uncertain,
but it is evident the commission in.
tends to establish reasonable rates to
Spokane without waiting for the SUI
preme court to pass on the fourth
section order. That is, it will decide
on the question OF reasonableness and
not on the fourth section and the Re-
no and Phoenix cases will be dealt
with at the same time and rates will
probably be fixed on basis of the Salt
Lake case.
''It has also been stated, of course
unsuccessfu,ly, that on this same
hearing the railroads purpose suggest
ing advances in rates to the coast
from eastern points of origin. Just
what cannot be said but probably on
those claimed by roads, not to be sub
ject to water competition.

High school students yesterday set
tied the question which Is agitating
many people in the state, namely.

tuted for capital punishment. After
a strenuous debate, the decision was
reached that such action should be
taken, the judges, Prin. A. c. Hamp-
ton, Miss Jones and Folsom Tallman.
rendering a decision In favor Of the
affirmative. This side of the ques-
tion was supported by Chester Cor

Government Agents Investigating
Agents Using Telephone, and Sus-
pcct Rebates"
Philadelphia, Pa.-Attornevs and
special agents of the department of
Justice are in Philadelphia investigat-
ing the latest move of the Western
Union Telegraph company in getting
business. They are trying to prove
restraint of trade in violation of the
Sherman law and the creation of con-
ditions that will eventually lead to
monopoly.
1t is the plan of the Western Union
company to induce subscribers of
the Bell Telephone company to be-
come agents of the telegraph COM
pany. The Bell company controls the
Western Union.
Telephone subscribers are asked to
become agents under contract by
which they will receive 10 per cent
of the present sending cost of every
telegram they telephone to the tele-
graph office over their phones
The plan is Objectionable to the
government men, in that large bus
iness houses would get what virtually
amounts to a rebate on every message
they would phone to the Western
Union. Thus a so cent message would
cost only 45 cents. large item when
the volume of mouths business is
considered.
The opposition telegraph line, the
Postal, has no telephone ally to
drum up business, and, indeed, it has
recently charged that the Bell COM
pany was diverting messages intend
ed for the Postal to the Western
Union.

TRACTION COMPANY
HAS PLANS UPSET
|. & C.. Refuses to Connect
with r. & E. |. Line
at Liberty, Ind.

A complete upset in the plans for
construction of the new traction line,
south of this city, with the result that
work on that section Of the road will
be suspended for some Time, has re-
suited from information received by
Charles Jordan, secretary of the Rich
mond and Eastern Indiana road, that
the Indianapolis and Cincinnati line is
almost certain to build it's track
through Greensburg or Connersville
rather than connecting with the r. &
E. L.. at Liberty. This report has been
eer from Indianapolis, and consequent
ly the local concern will have to con
struct about forty miles more Of road
than originally intended.
Engineer Jeup informed Secretary
Jordan on a visit to Richmond. that
he had been ordered by the Indiana
polls and Cincinnati concern to sur
through Greensburg and the other
through Connersville. the work to be
commenced Monday. 1t is understood
by the local traction men that these
are the only roads now being consid
cred by the l. e. G. men, and that nc
connection at Liberty can be effect
ed.
Directors Of the r. & E. l. company
are disappointed at the decision of the
other company, as it will mean the
construction of between forty and fif.
ty miles of unnecessary track. The
directors will defer action on the sit
uation for atsleast two weeks.
While the tangle south of Richmond
mean5 that no line can be built there
for some time, it is now almost GER
tain that construction Of the line be.

firm of Jeup and Moore. expects to
complete the survey north of here by
tomorrow evening. .Jeup has already
Investigated the right of way along
the line. and will make his formal re.
port within two weeks.
When the report is turned over to
the traction officials, they will at once
attend to securing the rights of wayp
and will be in position to contract for
the construction before spring.
