RAILROADS ASK FOR
MORE INFORMATION
The Interstate Commerce Commission
Seeks More Facts on Rate
Question.

Washington, Dec. ga series OF in
terrogatories was addressed by the i'm
terstate commerce commission yesterday
to the railroads of eastern classification
territory regarding their petition for an
advance OF five per cent. in their freight
rates. The inquiries are designed to
bring ont such facts concerning the ply
steal and financial operations of the
roads as have not heretofore been sub
mitted to the commission.
The commission says that elaborate
and useful information has already been
submitted by the roads, showing the
diminishing net returns from operation
and lessened net income. "These state
ments of the financial results" the COM
MISSIONS statement continues, do NOT
furnish fully the data deemed by the
commission to be necessary to deter
mine the general course carriers may
pursue to meet the situation. The com
mission requires for this purpose addi-
tional information from the railroads
with a view TO determine both the causes
of the diminishing net returns and net
income and the general course to be
pursued"

Rome, Dee. Saturday was the
last day for the exhibition OF the paint

essary to close the museum, the crowd
refused to disperse and troops were
compelled to clear the streets.

DEPUTIES DRIVE
BACK THE MOB
Efforts to Lynch Negro at Cumberland,
Md, Were Stopped by the
Officers.

Cumberland, Md, Dec 29.-Just at
midnight Saturday night mob which
had been gathered around the Kent
county Jail at Chestertown, determined
to lynch Norman Mabel, colored, the
self-confessed murderer of John X. Cole
man. farmer, forced two of the doors
of the Jail. Shots were exchanged be-
tween the defenders and attackers, but
no one was hit on either side. The
mob was met inside the Jail by State
Attorney H. w. Viekers, Sheriff w. Z.
Brown and his corps of l5 special dep
uties, with drawn revolvers. Vickers
pleaded with the men to leave the jail.
This proving Intellectual, the sheriff or
dered his deputies to fire over the heads
of the crowd. Two volleys brought the
Infatuated assailants to stop.
A suppressed growl ran through their
ranks, and cries of vengeance were heard.
Here and there from the crowd came
scattered shots, but none of the bullets
entered the corridors where the officers
were gathered. The determined front of
the laws guardians held the mob at bay
for the time, at least, but apparently
did not lessen its determination to wreak
vengeance upon the negro, Mabel. They
refused to dispense and crowded close
to the broken doors, seemingly waiting
for someone to make the first rush
against the little band of officers.
Presently five men bolted into the cor
ridor, the leader carrying sledge ham.
mer with which the cell door was to be
broken. The others pressed around the
door, waiting to rush to the assistance
of the leaders. For a moment it looked
as if the guards would be overpowered.
Former Sheriff William III. Mckee, who
was acting as deputy, faced the would
be lynchers single-handed, wrenched the
hammer from the leaders hand and
forced him and his four companions from
the corridor.
In sullen silence the mob withdrew a
short distance, then opened fire upon
the windows on the second floor, where
Mabel and the other negroes under ar
rest are confined. Volley after volley
from half hundred pistols and shot
guns was directed at the second story
and scarcely pane of glass in the win
dows was left. Sheriff Brown ordered
the negroes to lie down close under the
windows in order to escape the flying
shots.
Finding its reckless fusillade useless,
the mob desisted, but only to crowd
again to the Jail waiting for an oppor-
tunity to make another rush. Sheriff
Brown and Mr.. Vickers instructed the
deputies as last resort to fire upon
the mob and not over their heads. The
first determined effort to force the jail
was made at 1880 O'Clock. At that
time former Judge James Alfred Pearce

A Poor Mans He'll,

The Caribbean tropics are garden of
delight for the rich man, and an FL
Dorado. In sugar, in cotton, in cattle
pastures. that world holds treasure to-
day greater than the treasure shipped
by the Spsniard through Panama the
golden. The Caribbean tropics are good,
indeed, to the man strong enough to be
master. They are good, too, to their
own poor, for they curse their natives
with no cold and rarely with famine;
but for the poor white man from the
North they are hell.
1t is not due only to the risks of the
crop. 1t is due to the social conditions
that forbid the white man in the tropics
from laboring with the hands. No white
man can do it in the islands or in Cen
trail America and keep his caste. Only
in Panama, where an entirely artificial
and unique condition has been made by
the creators of the wonder of the 18th
mus, can it be done.-From "The Carib-
bean Tropics" by Julius Muller in Jan
uary Century.

"There is a big business boom coming

small merchant and manufacturer of the

A FARMHOUSE SCHOOL.
In Which Children Are Entirely Free
from Restraint.

Complete freedom from restraint is
the lot of the children who attend the
experimental rural school at Winthrop
college, Rock Hill, S. c., as described by
Mrs. Hetty Browne in a bulletin OF the
United States bureau OF education.
There are no seats or desks in this
school; no class rooms no rule of 81.
lence; but a free activity guided and
directed by woman who is in complete
sympathy with country children and
country life.
In this and other respects observers
have noted resemblance to the Montes-
sori schools, but Mrs. Browne began her
work several years ago quite independ-
emily of the theories of Madame Monies
sori. Furthermore, the Rock Hill school
makes no claim to deliberate scientific
basis; it is essentially an experimental
school. where il is hoped to learn by
actual experience what kind of a school
is best adapted to rural life,
The school building is a farm house,
with rooms fitted up as Sitting room,
kitchen, and workshop. A large veranda
surrounding the house is used for the
midday meal, which is served by the
pupils at the school, and for other pur-
poses. There is plenty of ground about
the school, including space for a large
garden.
The garden is the center about which
- la 81 At
soil and seed in the winter time to the
actual planting, eultivating. and harvest
ing at the other seasons, the garden re-
mains the center of the ehildren's in
terest and activity,
Arithmetic, spelling etc, are not
taught as subjects, but only as the need
for them arises in connection with the
activities OF home and garden. Laying
out the garden involves arithmetic. and
even geometry, both of which are alb
sorbed by the children without effort.
The making of towels for use at the
school naturally develops new words
having to do with sewing and many
other things. And so on. Words and
numbers are given the children only as
the need for them develops, and then
with as little formality as possible.
The whole idea is for the children to
find out things, if possible, without being
told.
The children in this rural school are
not assigned to "classes" and "periods,"
as in the traditional school. A visitor
will see one group working in the gar
den, another group on the veranda sew
ing. another in the kitchen at a cooking
task, and still another doing numbers"
or reading with the teacher in her room,
The aim of the Rock Hill school is
thus summarized by DIR. A. p. Bourland
in an introduction to the bureaus bull
letin: "The resolve was to make a school
that will train the farm children for
their future work in the home, on the
farm, and in the social life around them.
Hence we began frankly with the aetivi-
ties of the farm. The aim was not a
cut and dried plan, but rather a work
ing idea to enable the teacher to create
growing agency for the development of
farm life

GATUN SPILLwAY OPENED.
Water in the Lake Has Now Reached
SAT- Feet Above Sea Level.

Panama, Dec. 29-Gatun spillway,
which regulates the level of Gatun lake
at Panama, was opened Saturday for
the first time since June 81. During the
elapsed period the water had risen from
1926 to SAT- feet above sea level While
the maximum level the lake can attain
is 81 feet the water will not be allowed
to go any higher at present than it is
now. on account of the low ridge form
ing the rim of the lake basin not hav-
ing been diked yet. 1t has been planned
to open one gate of the spillway for an
hour or so each day in order to keep
the water at the existing level, and this
process is to be utilized to rid the lake
of the vast masses of swamp vegetation
in it commonly known as floating
islands. These are to be towed to the
spillway by tug and then sent through
the spillway channel out to sea.

GIVEN RADIUM FOR CANCER.
Some 100000 Worth Temporarily EN-

Baltimore, Md, Dec. 29.-Congressman
Robert G. Bremner of New Jersey, who
is at sanitarium here undergoing radi-
UNI treatment for caneerous growth
on his left shoulder, was reported to be
feeling better yesterday. His sister,
Mis- Helen Bremner, who is also the

too early to look for definite indications
as to the effects of the rsdium applica-
ton, but she expressed herself as hopeful
of an ultimate cure. Mr.. Bremner re-
ceiyed his first treatment of radium on
Christmas day, when IL tubes of the
mineral, valued at 100000, were tempo
rarily embedded in the growth, which
is said to be of malignant character.
