stances of a delivery fight. the exact
amount of drayage or delivery charge
that is absorbed by a railroad, whether
is under conditions similar to those
existing in Washington at the present
time the commission: would know just
now much of the rate on freight from
the East was set out as a charge
against delivery.
The ruling also affects the paid de-
livery or drayage charge carried IN
fariffs from Baltimore to Washington.
The general ruling as announced tc-
day is as follows:
.;Where there is an additional trans
fer or drayage charge in connection
with a through shipment the carriers
tariffs must specify what that charge
"If such drayage or transfer charge is
absorbed in whole or in part by car
rier the tariffs must show the amount
of such transfer charge that will BE-
absorbed.
"a drayage firm Is not a proper party
to a Joint tariff nor is 1t a carrier under
the provisions of the act; therefore, no
tariffs can properly be filed by 1t.
"There Is no provision in the law
which requires, and the commission
has no authority to require, a carrier
TO confine such drayage service to one
drayman or one firm of draymen.
The question of who Is responsible
in case of loss and damage while a
shipment is in charge of a truckman
to whom il has been committed by the
carrier Is for the carrier to resolve,
and not for the commissions determi-

FREIGHT FIGHT
TO OPEN At ONCE
Merchants Association Heads
Map Out Campaign to Keep
Free Delivery.

r. p. Andrews, president of the Retail
Merchants Associations: Charles ].
Columbus, secretary of the association,
and Maurice ]. Rosenberg, general
counsel, met in the office of the latter
today and discussed plans for fighting
the discontinuance of free-store-door
delivery of freight in Washington.
Chaplin Brown, general counsel for
the Chamber OF Commerce and the
transportation and freight rates COM
mittee cf the chamber, will be asked
to cooperate with the merchants asso-
citation.
The Washington bodies will begin the
tight at once, it was decided, whether
or. not the Baltimore organizations CO.
operate. Further, the fight will be
made on the ground that the free de-
livery of freight here and in Baltimore
was established in water competition,
and cannot, therefore, be increased.
1t was agreed that there are two
lines along which the fight may be
The Washington times., 1913-08-01

waged. One of these is to ask the In
terstate Commerce Commission not to
allow the discontinuance OF the free de-
livery; the other is to ask the commits
sion for a decrease in rates
1t is believed the fight can be won on
either basis, but the attorneys will con-
slider the legal phases carefully before
determining which is the stronger claim
Oh which to wage the contest The re-
suits that might be attained would be
practically identical in either case.
Baltimore Investigation.
Advices from Baltimore indicate
that the merchants and attorneys of
that city are investigating the case
TO see IL Washington and Baltimore
should fight on the same grounds, or
whether there are differences in the
conditions which would necessitate
independent action on the part of the
merchants of the two cities.
If IL is found that the claims of the
two cities are Identical, there will I'M
doubtedly be concerted action on the
part of the two cities. But the Of
f:cers of the local associations will
not wait on Baltimore, but will pre-
pare to wage the fight at once.

Defense Against Airships.

Joseph A. Steinmett of Germantown,
Pa, has been granted a patent on a de-
vice which he declares will make war
ships. forts. and cities impregnable from
attack by bombs dropped from aerial

fitted with explosive shells and stretch
ed in the air by thin wire above the
place sought to be guarded. A con-
tact firing device is arranged to ex-
plode under a half pound pressure By
this means the inventor declares no

Democratic Senators impatient. They
fear that il will be impossible to get a

THE CROOKED FooTPATH.
.Ah, here It Is. the sliding rail
That marks the old remembered
spot,
,Tirat gap that struck out sdhDolbo,
trail,
The crooked path across the lot.
It lei the road By school and church
A penciled shadow, nothing more,
That parted from the silver birch
And ended at the farmhouse door
No line or compass traced It's plan;
With frequent bends to left or RICH,
IN aimless, wayward curves 1t ran.
But always kept the door in sight
The gabled porch, with woodbine
green,
The broken milestone at the sill,
Though many a rood might stretch
between,
The truant child could see them
still.
No rocks across the pathway lie,
No fallen trunk is DER It thrown,
And yet 1t winds, We know not why,
And turns as il for tree or stone.
Perhaps some lover trod the way
With shaking knees and leaping
heart,
And SO it often runs astray
With sinuous sweep or sudden
start.
Or one, perchance, with clouded brain
From some unholy banquet reeled
And since our devious steps maintain
HIS track across the trodden field
Nay, deem not thus-no earthborn
will
Gould ever trace faultiess line;
Our truest steps are human still,
To walk sunsw CRYING were divine.

wrath;
oh. rather let rs trust the more.
Through all the wanderings of the

We still can see our Fathers door.
