COMMISSION
NEEDS ADDITIONAL DATA

Washington, Dec. 30.--A series of
interrogatories was addressed by the
interstate commerce commission to
the railroads of eastern classification
territory in relation to a petition of
the roads for an advance of 5 per
cent in their freight rates. The in
ouiries are designed to develop such
facts concerning the physical and fl
nancial operations of the roads as
heretofore have not been submitted
to the commission.
The commission says that elaborate
and helpful information already has
been submitted by the roads showing
the diminishing net returns from op-
erations and lessened net income.
"These statements of the financial
results" the commissions statement
continues, "do not furnish fully the
data deemed by the commission to be
necessary to determine the general
course carriers may pursue to meet
the situation. The commission re-
quires for this purpose additional in
formation from the railroads with a
view to determining both the causes
of the diminishing net revenues and
net income and the general course to
be pursued.
The inquiries are divided into seven
groups, which go to the heart of the
physical and financial operations of
the roads. The various groups deal
with the revenues and their conserva
ton; returns received from transpor-
tation of various commodities and
practices of carriers in granting to
shippers special service and allow
ances; the purchases of equipment and
supplies and the uses made of them;
financial history of the road; inquiries
to develop information regarding the
actual interests of directors, officers
or employees of the roads "in the bust
ness of parties to transactions in
which the roads also are parties, and
sleeping car contracts and parlor car
service and results Of such opera
tons.
The commission also expects to
learn 1.-THE extent to which the direc-
tors and officials of railroads have
other financial interests in the tran
sactions of the carriers and among
other things it is desired to deter
mine to what extent conflicting and
INTERVENING interests, commonly de-
scribed as interlocking directorates,
prevail and what influence if any this
practice has had in increasing railroad
COSTS"
The responses are to be submitted
before January 81.

framed i'll informed judgment of this
mans world, which makes woman
suffer when sinned against, exactly as
when the sin is of her own contriving,
Annie had fallen. The majority of
fallen women socalled are not fallen,
they have been cast down; but Annie
O'Rourke refused even to be cast
down. She insisted on remaining up,
and public opinion, the despot, must
now admit that she is up, and that
she is a very much finer, worthier,
deeper souled woman than she would
have been if no such brutal accident
had befallen her. 1t was the very
fight which Annie made for the baby's
right to life and the good will Of men
that passed her through the waters
of publication. 1t was motherhood
that made her strong and ennobled

acter, so that Annie stands today re-
deemed by the consequences of her

Municipal Market Is Favored

Indianapolis Star: Cleveland's ex-
perience as an argument for systema-
tized municipal markets is presented
in the Leader Of that city by Charles
Kamp, market master. Drawing gen.
eral conclusions, Mr.. Ramp says:
"There has been a wonderful revival
in favor of municipal markets. Every
municipality in this country is study
ing the problem, sending committees
on junketing trips, looking into the
market situation in all the cities that
are successfully operating markets
And why all this agitation? There
must be reason for it. The reason
is this: We help our citizens by OPP
Grating our water works department
electric light plants and various other
utilities. Why not assist them in the
food problem, which is the largest ex-
penditure the public makes?"

HARNESSES THE X.RAY
TO PERFECT CONTROL

New York, Dec. 30-An invention
that it is expected will revolutionize
the use and application Of the X-ray
was exhibited for the first time in
public in this city Saturday, at din
ner given at the Hotel st. Denis to
William David Coolidge of Schenec-
tady by DR.. l.. G. Cole of New York.
Men versed in the science Of the X-ray
who witnessed the demonstration of
Coolidge's invention said that it was
the greatest advancement in the study
of rays since Roentgen.
Coolidge, who is employed in the
General Electric Company's labora-
tory, has been working in secret on
the new ray for three years. He has
so far perfected but two tubes, one of
which he showed. His method of man.
ufacturing the ray differs from the
old one and enables him to secure such
efficiency in control and application
that the greatest benefit to therapeu-
tics are expected as soon as the tech
nique of the ray is thoroughly under
stood.
Coolidge's rays will not cheaper the
cost of production any, but it will en-
able X-ray operators to control power
they wish to administer absolutely,
whereas before it was impossible to
gauge the amount that would be gen.
Grated or to direct it. The value of
the new ray in the treatment of can
GER and similar diseases is expected
to be enormous, because of the GER
tainty with which it can be controlled.

Case of Refiner's Fire

In the December American Maya
zine Peter Clark Macfarlane gees on
with his series of articles entitled
"Those Who Have Come Back" This
is a series devoted to true stories of
men and women who, failures or dis
graced at 40, have been able to take
hold of themselves and become useful,
respected citizens. Mr.. Macfarlane's
present article is entitled "a Madonna
from Whitechapel." 1t is the story
of girl who was betrayed. She had
a child and her regeneration was
brought about through her care of her
child. The man who betrayed her
finally deserted her, but she kept up
her courage and continued her fight.
After long years of suffering and dis
grace, she at last became respected
and useful member of society. She is
about to be married to a man who
knows her history, but man who is
marrying her for her sound character
and because he loves her. Following
is an extract from Mr.. Macfarlane's
conclusion:
''In few neutrality-suspicious. before
this is ublished-Annie will be mar
ried. She has won her way back to
honor. Of course, as a matter of alb
solute marrowbone truth, Annie never
lost her honor, yet after the hastily

SYNOPSIS.

Professor Desmond of the Peak observa-
tory causes a great sensation throughout
the country by announcing that what ap-
pears to be a satellite is approaching at
terrific speed. Destruction of the earth is
feared. Panic prevails everywhere. The
satellite barely misses the earth The at
mospheric disturbance knocks people un-
conscious, but does no damage. A leaf
bearing cabalistic design fiutters down
among the guests at a lawn party. 1t is
Identical in design with a curious orna-
ment worn by Doris Fulton. hideous
man-like being with huge wings descends
In the midst of the guests. He notices
Doris ornament and starts toward her.
The men fear he intends some harm to
Doris and a fierce battle ensues in which
Tolliver and March, suitors OF Doris, and
PROFESSOR Desmond are injured. The fly
ing man is wounded by shot from Toll
liver. but escapes by flying away. A far
ner reports that the flying man carried
OFT his young daughter. People every
where are terror-stricken at the posi-
billties for evil possessed by the mon
ster. The Governor offers a reward OF
$5Oe,oOo for his capture dead or alive. Put

| distance the sickened mob saw the
! Flying Man soaring for the distant
peaks, swinging sportively from side
to side with the graceful movements
of a skater in rink.
Once more the surcharged wires
reeked with the news of this unprece-
dentsd battle three miles above the
earth, and now the world received it
very grayely indeed. The editors of
great dailies the world over discussed
it as the most momentous event of the
hour, more important than national
politics, the alliances of nations, the
mysterious absence of the car or the
latest battle in Asia Foreign cabinets
debated it seriously behind closed
doors, and the president of the United
States formally rendered Governor
McNeill the use of several regiments
of regular troops, regiment of cav
airy and such field ordnance as he
might deem of use. This tender, how
ever, Mcneil courteously declined
upon the grounds that he had men
enough, horses enough and firearms
enough, and that all three were futile
enough-that he must place his main
reliance upon the swarm of aviators
now headed his way and arriving
singly and in small parties every day.
However, as a matter of precaution a
dozen mortars capable of shooting up
ward at acute angles were distributed
about the city and heavily loaded with
grape shot. And in order that there
might be enough money to divide
tors in case large number of them
were in at the death the reward was
increased to million. And as though
in reply to this the Flying Man
promptly issued another challenge.
Apish righteousness seemed to have
come over him and sheer wantonness
characterized many of his acts. In
the few following nights not less than
a dozen country jewellers were awak-
ened by boulders crashing through
their roofs, injuring no one through
sheer good luck, and often the creak-
ing of porches and the soft falling of
feet upon thin roofs and the frenzied
yelping of dogs proclaimed to the resi-
dents of isolated houses that the un.
canny one was prowling in the dark
ness without. That with his enormous
eyes he could see as well by night as
by day was soon proven, for even
stray cats and chickens did not escape
his petty malice. This additional ad-
vantage of night seeing which he pos
sessed over his foes rendered all their
efforts against him futile, for while
now a small swarm of aerial craft
patrolled the skies and secured the
mountains by day, when night came
they were compelled again to seek the
earth, and it was during the darkest
hours that he issued forth upon his
maraudings. But owing to their eau
ton in travelling in small parties after
indeed they travelled at
all--no human being fell into his
clutches For miles around the city
each country door was strongly barred
at the hour of dusk, and from that mo-
ment until broad daylight none but the
reckless ventured forth. Even in the
city and it's neighboring well-lighted
towns, those who went abroad by
street light held furtive clutch upon
