PROTECT MILEAGE BOOK MEN
Resolution Before X. IL. Commission
ers on Alleged Discrimination.

Columbia. Aug. 6.-At the regular
weekly meeting of the railroad COM
mission this afternoon Chairman J. G..
richards offered q resolution order
ing the railroads to remove the AL
legged discrimination against mileage
book-holders in the matter ofapulling
mileage to competing points by the
long route and selling cash tickets by
the short route. Commissioner Hamp-
ton held the commission was without
authority to do this and voted against
the resolution. 1t was then referred to
the Attorney General to find out
whether the commission has authority
In the matter or not.
The alleged discrimination cited by
Mr.. Richards was this: The distance
from Columbia over the Southern
railway via Newberry and Bolton to
Greenville is 145 miles, and the dis
tance via Spartanburg is 1876 miles.
The distance between these same
points over the G. n. and l.. and the
{. and w. G. is 112 miles, and a
traveller paying cash fare between
Columbia and Greenville is charged
$2.SO for the distance travelled, while
passenger using mileage has his
mileage pulled for a distance Of 145
miles, or charge of $3.50 or ten
cents more for the distance travelled
Another example he cites is the dis
tancc from Columbia to Camden, the
cash fare being so cents. while mil
cage is pulled for G2 miles by the
Southern, or a difference in favor of
the traveller paying cash fare of As
cents. This he wants removed and
the mileage pulled the short route.
Attorney General Peoples will bc
asked to render an opinion i'm the
matter.

AUTO ROUTS HIGHXVAYMAN.
w. Is. Ferguson Drives His Car Over
Man Who Attempted to Hold Him
Up.

Chester, Aug. S.-W. b. Ferguson,
a we'll known planter Of this county,
while mortoring home in his touring
car near Great Falls Wednesday, was
approached by two highwaymen. He
slowed his car down a little, but the
men ordered him to stop. At first
he refused. To stop a fusillade of
whiskey and ginger ale bottles that
were flying at him from the two
men, he was forced to stop. AS he
did so one of the hignwaymen walk
ed in front of the car and pointed
revolver in his face and told HIM
that If he dared to run his car an
other foot he would kill him.
Apparently the highwayman be-
lieved that he had Mfr. Ferguson now
under control. After a slight lull in
the mans speech, with Iightning-Iik
quickness Mr.. Ferguson threw on all
the speed his high powered car could
command and in a second the high
wayman had been hurled to the
ground and run over by the car. His
confederate escaped to the woods
nearby.
Realizing that the highwayman was
hurt. Mr.. Ferguso, ran his car back
to him, where he was found to lie i'm
serious condition. A physician was
summoned and it was found that
three of his ribs were broken and
that he had received severe bruises.
He is still seriously ill. His name
has not yet been ascertained. II he
recovers he will be brought to Jail in
this city.

ample to meet the situation.
The dominant tone of the bankers
expressed convictions, the treasury
department announced tonight, was
that business conditions were good,
but that the promised deposits would
relieve the usual strain.
The 81 bankers gathered at the
meeting seized the opportunity to pre-
sent their views on currency legis-
lation to the government. They urg-
ed two material amendments to the
pending Glass-Owen bill one cur
failing the powers Of the federal .'e-
serve board to control the present
bank system and the other essentially
modifying the reserve requirements of
the measure so as to minimize the de-
Capitalization of credits. With these
changes, it was stated, all but two OF
the 81 bankers favored immediate
banking and currency legislation.

ference with the treasury officials re-
garding the deposits.
! 1t was urged that the federal board
! be deprived of all powers of initiative,
leaving that function with the pro-
posed advisory board composed OF
bankers. Strong criticism was made OF
the reserve features of the bill
The bankers declared that as at
present drawn it would decentralize
credits to such an extent as to i'm
pair business seriously, some main
tanning that they would be Obliged
materially to decrease their loans.
They asked for a reduction of the re-
serve required of country and reserve
city banks and such a relaxation as
would permit the continuance of
proportion of reserves. with reserve
agents as at present. instead of fore
ing the reserves into the federal re-
serve banks or keeping thin in the
banks own vaults
Senator Owen promised to take all
recommendations under consideration.

ern bankers yesterday and will confer

Joseph Jerome Lafrancais de La

of the eighteenth century, differed
from Newton's view that Providence
had so arranged matters as to make
collision of the earth with a comet i'm
possible and wrote a paper to prove
that 1t was only very improbable. This
paper, which was to have been read
with Others before the French acade-
my on a certain day In 1773, got
crowded out. but the Partisan public,
hearing of 1t, made up its mind that
Lalande had predicted the impending
destruction Of the earth and such pam
ic ensued that the police had to order
the publication Of the paper to reas-
sure the public mind. But even then
It was popularity believed that the pa
per had been deliberately toned down
and comet panics continued for quar-
ter Of a century.
