Surgeons Amputate Leg of Miss Marie
Blasky Injured in Auto Accident.
Miss Elizabeth Blasky of Manistee,
Mich, who was injured in an automo-
bile accident at Camp Lake on May IL
will be crippled for life for on Thurs
day afternoon in order to save the life
of the young woman the surgeons in
attendance found it necessary to ampu-
tate her left leg just above the ankle.
Since the accident efforts had been
made to save the foot of the young wo-
man, but her condition became such on
Thursday that the physicians decided
amputation necessary. County Agent
Jones has been notified to make some
provision for the young woman. 1t is
probable that efforts will be made to
have her sent to her home in michigan.
The young woman is just eighteen
years of age and the physicians attend
ing her fear that she may lose her life
as result of the accident.

Gently shows that the council made no
mistake in holding out ten thousand
dollars to meet these demands when the
settlement was made with the contrac-
tors. 1t was up to the city to protect
property owners and the surest way to
do it was to keep the money to pay
them when they prove up their dam

position where he can be forced to go
to the courts to collect for any dam
age done his property in the course of
any Improvement work.

SEES BIG SAVING
Ruling on Express Rates to
Save Shippers 100000 an
nually in the State.
WILL AFFECT ALL SHIPPERS

The decision of the railroad com
mission, reducing express charges in
the state, amounts to a saving of ap-
proximately 100000 a year. This
statement was made by Walter Drew,
who as attorney for the Merchants !
and Manufacturers association Of Mil
waukee, prosecuted the case before the
railroad commission in which a deci-
SION has just been handed down.
"The Merchants and Manufacture
ers association is entitled to a large
measure Of appreciation from the peo-
pie of the state for assuming the bur-
den Of prosecuting this case, said
Mr.. Drew. /" While the members Of the
association are many of them shippers
by express, and are, of course, affect
ed directly and substantially IL COM
mon with the people of the state gen.
orally by excessive express rates, as
far as the association is concerned the
undertaking was distinctly as a pub
lie service.
The opinion Of the commission
contains an extended consideration Of
the evidence which we produced, both
as to rates and to service, particular
" the evidence which we presented,
showing that the express rates in Wis
consin were generally about twenty to
thirty per cent higher on the average
than the rates in Minnesota, Virginia,
Georgia, North Carolina, Iowa, Texas,
Missouri, New Hampshire, Oklahoma,
and the Dominion of Canada, where
rates have been fixed by public au-
thority. Our evidence upon this point
embraced some ten thousand rate
comparisons.
fThe commission S decision sustains
our complaint upon every important
point. Matters of rules and classified
ton Of merchandise will be ordered
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion in the federal case commenced
shortly after the case before the Wis
consin commission, and will in the
main be adopted by the Wisconsin
commission, subject to such modifica-
tions as may be required by local con-
ditions. The lack of uniformity and
certainty in the billing and collection
of charges which was one of the mat
tiers to which we directed the atten-
tion of the commission, has already
been corrected by preliminary order
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion in the federal case, as has also
the matter of excessive charges on
shipments Of large cartons Of millinery
goods and the like.
Express charges are determined
according to a table known as the
graduated scale. The base rate is
rate per 100 pounds, applying from
point Of shipment to destination.
When this merchandise rate per 100
pounds is ascertained, the charge on
the shipment is made according to its
weight and according to the rate per
100 pounds, not IN direct proportion to
weight but according to the graduation
of the charges in this graduated table.
It was matter of serious complaint
that this table was so constructed by
the express companies as to impose the
highest possible charge on small pack
ages, which constitute the bulk Of ex-
press shipment, and that the minimum
charge Of twenty-five cents for any
shipment of merchandise, however
small, was excessive.
