FriSky Goat Gets
Navy Pets Fired

NORFOLK. Va, Jan. S.-A belliger-
emit billy goats lack of respect for the
uniform, it was said today, was the
cause for an order of Rear Admiral
r. M Doyle banishing all of the sail
ors' pets and mascots from battle
ships, cruisers and receiving ships at
this station. Admiral Doyle is re-
ported to have been inside the uni
form when the goat, mascot aboard
the New Hampshire, butted 1t so Wig
orously that it toppled over on the
deck. The goat is now an exile and
with him went a long train of other
goats, cats, dogs. parrots and bears.
The officers of the New Hampshire
declined to discuss the affair today
None denied the discourtesy of the
ships mascot, but they said that the
incident had little to do with the
passing of the pets. Some eminent
scientist" they said. had pronounced
the existence of animals aboard ship
a menace to the health of the men,
and that this was at the bottom of
the order. Admiral Doyle is COM
mandant of the Norfolk navy yard.

SHIPPERS FEARED
LOSS OF REBATES"
So Declares Head of New Line
Bankrupted by shipping
Trust"

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.--Further
testimony about the so-called ship
ping trust between the United States
and South America was given today
to the House merchant marine COM
mittee. William Lowrey, South
American agent for the Pan-Ameri-
can Mail, which it is claimed was
driven out of business by the trust,
testified how large shippers declined
to use the new line for fear of losing
their deferred rebates from the Eu-
ropean lines. He suggested statute
excluding from American ports Eu-
ropean ships giving such rebates, as
remedy for the situation.
1--WE have built the Panama canal
for the benefit of British ship own
ers unless this government aids an
American marine" said he.
Representative Humphrey said he
had been told that a Royal Mail line
official had boasted that the COM
pany intended to get monopoly of
lines on the Atlantic and Pacific to
South America before the Panama
canal was finished
1.-THE idea the ocean is free is about
as big fallacy as exists in America
testified William Fl. Douglass. of
Arkell e Douglass, large New York
exporters to South America and
Europe. 1.-THE steamship lines, Ger
man and British, are in combination,
having the ocean under stricter con-
troll than any combination ever did
any trade between the States" he
added His firm was supposed to
give its business to the Houston line.

URGES CREDIT SYSTEM
FOR AGRlCULTURALISTS

WASHINGTON, Jan. SAN agri-
cultural credit system similar to that
advocated by President Taft for the
farmers of the country, whereby they
could borrow money on their pros
pective crops, is being successfully
tested in a small way among certain
indian tribes, according to F. H. Abb
bolt, acting commissioner of Indian
affairs He favors the insertion in the
Indian appropriation bill now under
discussion in the House of an item
granting $250,00O for this purpose
Much of the grating from the In
dians,'' he declared today, has been
due to the fact that many are land
poor-owning good sized allotments,
and yet unable. because of lack of
funds with which to farm them, to
make living. For this reason they
have fallen an easy prey to un-
scrupulous land-leasers. This gave
them ready money. but it made them
lazy, and was bad thing for them in
many ways"

PHONE RATES NOT
HIGH, BOARD FINDS
Public Utility Commission Dis
misses "a Complaints Against
Camden Company.
rFrom a stan Correspondent

TRENTON. n. j., Jan. S.-The
Public Utility >>Commission today
handed down a decision in which it
dismissed the complaint of Gateley
& Hurley and twenty-three other
commercial manufacturing and bank
ing houses in Camden against tele-
phone rates charged them by the
Delaware and Atlantic Telegraph and
Telephone Company.
The complaints were based upon
the fact that in May last year the
telephone company increased the
rate Of $3.50 a year which the COM
plainants had been paying for an I'M
limited telephone Service in Camden
and neighboring places within d ten
mile radius and also to Philadelphia.
The compliments charged discrimi-
nation in that other subscribers get
ting a like service were paying
lesser amount.
The Public Utility Commission
based its decision against the COM
claimants upon three grounds. The
first was that the net earnings of
the company did not begin to APP
proximate reasonable return upon
the company's investment. A second
was that the complainants were get
ting a service at a much lesser pro-
portionate rate than was paid by the
bulk of the telephone company's sub
scribers. The third ground of the
decision was that the complaint of
the discrimination did not warrant
any interference by the Public IT'LL
ity Commission, because the COM
plainants themselves were getting
service at a rate that was below
proper standard. The real parties
in grievance, if any, according to the
decision, were those who were pay
ing at rate proportionately higher
than the complainants. These sub
scribers however, had filed no COM
plant.
On a question of earnings the COM
mission found that the fair present
value of the company's investment
was So. 5000. An s per cent. return
upon this would be $427,000, and the
opinion thought 8 per cent. fair re-
turn. The actual net earnings OF
the company for 1911 was $170,196.
After presenting these figures the
opinion said that the disparity be-
tween the actual present earnings
and return of $427,00 was so large
as to make it unnecessary to con-
slider in detail whether the company's
estimate of earnings should not be
somewhat reduced for reasons stated
by the compliments. Among these
reasons was the allegation of an ex-
cessive royalty paid to the parent
company.

NEW NICKELS TO ENTER
CIRCULATION FEBRUARY

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-The design
of the new nickel, the creation of j.
E. Fraser the artist, of New York,
has been accepted by Secretary Mac
Veagh, of the treasury department,
to replace the five-cent piece that has
been in circulation for many years.
Within a week George e. Roberts, d.
rector of the mint, will order it's coin
age, and 1t probably will be in cir
culation shortly after February 1.
On one side of the new coin is the
reproduction of the head of an Indian.
At the top is the word liberty" and
at the bottom is the year 1913. On
the other side appears the figure of a
buffalo. closely associated with the
history Of the red man and the de-
nomination of the coin, five cents"
The design is severely simple and is
regarded by treasury officials as one
of the most artistic pieces of Amerf-
can money ever turned out.
