As INCHES Is BAGGAGE LIMIT
Railroad Restrictions on Size of
Trunks Effective June 1.

Washington, d. C.-Restrictions on
freak baggage and baggage of ex-
IRENE length or width will be placed
in effect about June /, according to
plans now being made by the Inter
state Commerce commission
1t is understood that these new reg
ulations, which will limit the size of
the trunks that will be handled by the
railroads to as inches in length, will
work no hardship on the travelling
public, but will serve to check effec-
lively the tendency of commercial
statesmen and the houses that employ
them to carry queer-shaped trunks and
baggage of unusual proportions 1t is
probable that the commission will
stipulate that baggage exceeding ~
inches in any dimension will not be
accepted for checking at all. The
charge for handling baggage over As
inches in length, width or height will
be equivalent to five pounds of excess
weight for each inch of excess meas
urement.
These regulations were adopted by
the railroads nearly two years ago,
but agitation of the trunk manufac
turers has postponed their enforce
ment

FARMS WILL NEED 10000 MEN
Prospective Wheat Crop in Kansas
Largest Ever Known.

Topeka, Kansas-Facing the pros
pect of wheat crop of more than
l20, 900, 900 bushels, the lowest esti-
mate based on Secretary Coburn's re-
port of acreage and condition, the
State Employment bureau already has
begun plans for bringing into Kansas
an army of nearly 10000 harvest
hands. Secretary Coburn's report of
conditions of 80 per cent in the great
ly increased acreage of wheat was
based upon reports sent previous TO
the recent soaking rains which fell all
through the wheat belt.
Basing their estimates on his re-
port, grain dealers, farmers and mill
ers estimated that the wheat yield, if
conditions remain the same, will be
124, 900, 900 bushels of wheat. The
soaking rains so improved conditions
that men whose opinions carry
weight, declared that only a contin-
uous drought from now until harvest
time could pull the crop under l20,-
900, 900 bushels There is no doubt
but that competition will be so keen
as to make wages unusually high

SERUM DON'T CURE
Many friedman Patients Steadily
Growing Worse.
Health Department Makes Strong
Criticisms and Public Warned
to Be Careful

New York-The Friedman patients
in New York are not doing we'll In
fact, some of them are decidedly i'll.
This fact, combined with knowledge
of the nature of the sale Friedman
has recently accomplished, has made
all physicians connected with the
Friedman tests anxious not only for
their own patients, but for the well
fare of the public in general
Before the week is out it is most
probable that three, and perhaps four,
public statements will be made from
public institutions, none of which will
be favorable to DIR. Friedman or his
treatment
This information has been placed in
the hands of the New York health de-
partment, telling of the poor showing
which the Friedman patients. all of
whom have been watched for the de-
partment, have made.
The statements made are strong.
One of them is supposed TO be that
some of the cases treated would have
been better off if they had not had the
Friedman injection and that the
presence of the culture in their systems
seems to have given the bacilli 6
chance to work in places which they
might not otherwise have attacked
1t was learned Monday from the
best of sources that the Friedman
pulmonary patients at Bellevue have
not only failed to show any improve
ment, but that with many of them tbs
disease was having its course uninter
rupted- Many of the pulmonary suf
ferers there treated by Dr. Friedman
at first showed gains, such as in
creased weight, but have since faller
back. Actual conditions of the lung.
have either remained the same or be
come worse. Only one case was men
toned in which the lungs had i'm
proved, and that in an incipient stage
1t was also said that at Mount Sina
hospital the patients have not made
progress and that the disease is run
ming its own course The same is I'm
derstood to apply to the Montefior'
Home, where DR.. Friedman ais
treated great number of tubercula
sick.

old age pension bill to provide 81 to
81 a week for all those more than IS
years old whose incomes are under SIC
a week, was introduced in the house

with incomes of less than Sc week
at 81 a week; incomes of from Sc to
81 at So; between 81 and IS. 81 q
week, and from So to 50. 81 a week.
The bill would disqualify all Grim

SOUTHERN PACIFIC Is LOSER
2,373, 900 Acres Forfeited by Violat-
ing Terms of Grant.

Portland-Lands in Oregon aggrega-
ting 2,373, 900 acres, held by the
Southern Pacific by virtue Of grants
made by congress to its predecessor,
the Oregon.& California Railroad com
pany, in 1866 and 1870, were declared
forfeited to the United States govern
ment in decree pronounced by Judge
Charles E. WoIverton, of the United
States District court
The decree was based on the fact,
which Judge Wolverton assumed to
have been proved, that the railroad
company violated the terms under
which the grant was made, in not SELL
ing the lands to actual settlers at
$3.50 an acre, in selling lands at a
higher price than $3.50 an acre, and
in selling more that $50 acres to one
person.
Judge Wolverton's decision is an
other step in the upward march of the
celebrated case toward the United
States Supreme court The entrance
of the decree will be suspended for q
few days to allow for the clearing ny
of some minor matters connected with
the case.
AS soon as the decree is formally
entered the Southern Pacific will ap
peal the case to the United States Cir
cult Court Of Appeals. which means
that it will be tried in the Ninth Cir
cult District at San Francisco Thii
court convenes the first Monday in DC
tober, 1913, and the case probably will
be assigned to hearing for the fol
lowing November.
