COMMISSION
 STARTS PROBE
 IN R. R. RATES
Fifty-TWO Railroads Applied for Freight
 Increase
Roads Claim to Be Prepared to Show Necessity for
 Advanced Rates

Washinzton. June 21-On it's own ini- Native the interstate comrnerce com mission today, began an inquiry into the application of g railroads for in creased rates. The commission denied the application Of the roads to reopen che old advance rate case of two years ago Hearings for railroads and ship pers will begin this fall
 Announcement of the commissions s purpose was made, today, in the form <of two orders. based upon the petition of the railroads five weeks ago seek ing permission to advance freight .rates, both class and commodity, five per cent.
 In an effort to avoid the necessity for the new tariff, which would have cost the roads at least s25o,ooo, their officials requested the commission to re-open the old advance rate case that they might have opportunity to dem Aonstrate the necessity, as they view it, of the proposed increase of five per cent This application was denied be- rsuse the commission preferred to con- sfder the present application as entire ssy new In the old case only class rates were affected by the proposed ad- vance. in the pending application it is sE1roposed to increase all rates five per hcent- Horizontally
 The questions involved are quite diff sferent- As the proposition stands, 1t 7s a question to be detreInined by teSti- Enony and argument The roads pe- ltition that they are prepared to show .the necessity for the expenditure or many millions of dollars for many purposes, among which are enlarge anent of yards and terminals, addition al tracks block signals additional chops improvements in stations, Changes and elimdnations of grade crcssirgs new locomotives, new pas- senEer and freight cars and other -eouIpraent, that these large ex1Sendd- lures Of money are demanded by ex- ssting and future 4ranSporta con- sditions and must be made if your pc .4itfoners are to satisfy the needs of the public for improved and additional fa- Eilities.''
 It Is declared further that the net earning produced by existing rates are ruot sufficiently large to furnish that margin of surplus which will afford Ahe xarrsers the credit necessary to en- able them to secure the additional capital required for such necessary purposes and 1t Is only through an Increase in freight rates that this can be established.
 In it's order, the commission direct %d that the inquiry should cover two points. viz-.
 Do the rates of transportation nowp anposeo by common carriers by rail- road in official classification yield an Rqua1 net return; and
 sIf not, what plan shall be adopted to increase such transportation charges2'

schedule which allowed to come in this country free, Filipino cigars con- tainfng 20 per cent of tobacco other than the kind grown in the far off isl- ands. So impressed was the commit tee with the arguments against this schedule that it voted unanimously that only cigars made of the native weed should be put on the free list.
 Congressman Donovan had been overwhelmed with petitions from cigar makers in his district to endeavor to have this change affected. He found Senator Hughes a valiant champion of the rights Of the tobacco workers and to these two men more than ot11- CTS should the credit go for the results obtained
 The representatives of the Danbury Hat manufacturers, the Crane Valve Go, and the Cigar makers at the Capi- .tel early learned of the changes and they shoTvered Congressman Donovan with congratulations on the part he played in securing the reasonable con- sessions which were sought
 All of today teIegrams congratu1a- tory in tone poured into the Congress man'e office from both manufactur- CTS and employers in Danbury. Con gressnan Donovan has stuck to his post in Washington never for a mo- ment having abandoned hope of being able to convince his colleagues of the justice of the cause he was pleading.
 Had MT. Donovan followed the ad- vice of his gratuitious critics and vot- ed against the Underwood tariff bill after had veinly fought against, some of it's schedules he would hardly have received the powerful assistance he did from strong administration men like Senator Billy Hughee ssF .-s7
 The latter admired Donovan for standing strong in the House for his convictions I'D to the time when he was compelled to choose between cast ing his vote against a bill that meant much for the welfare of all the people simply because he was unable to se- c1Ee< concession which he knew to be reasonable but which the majority of the Ways and Means committee re- ssrded in a different light.

Mrs. W0odford Freed From Blame
 For Auto Killing

Coroner John J.. Phe1an exonerates Mrs. Isabel H. Woodford of criminal responsibility for the death of William Steinheauser, who was killed by her automobile in Fairfield, June 8, when Steinheauser, awaiting a, trolley car, became confused at the approach of the heavy touring car driven by the woman Mrs. Woodford is the widow of Stewart L. Woodford, former am- bassador to Spain.
 Coroner Phelan takes occasion in the finding to express his grave. doubt that woman in a large degree are not temperamental1y fitted or physical ly equipped for the driving of high powered machines in popu1ous places. '' He says that while in this case the driver acquitted herself with the neces- sary skill he, in common with many, has ga conviction that situations and emergencies frequently arise when masculine rather than feminine skill and judgment in the management Of machines more certainly inspires confi- dence in the people for the better pro- tection of fife and limb in public places
 Mrs woodford was driving the car around a sharp turn, alongside trolley tracks. At the turn the trolley tracks sweep across the street, and to board an east bound car, as Stefnhauser was preparing to do, the intending pass enger must stand in the roadway rath- CT than the sidewalk, crossing 8 much traveIed thoroughfare.
 The coroner suggests that the meth cd of taking on passengers at this point be changed by the Connecticut company. He found the speed of the utomobiIe to be from 10 to 12 miles.
 The finding follows:

Through hispower of argument, backed up as it was by an array of statistics that proved incon- before which he made his argument has agreed with him that the duty on fur felt hats should be increased from 40 to 45 cents.
 The senate committee on finance has before it the tariff bill which passed the House. It is holding hearings that those who feel aggrieved over any of the House schedules may appear and offer their arguments.
 Among those who have faithfully attended at these hearings is Con gressman Donovan who for first stamped upon his colleagues the fact that he is a live wire and knows how to look after the interest of his. con stituents.
 Congressman Donovan made several appearances before the committee. He presented his reasons why the increas- ed duty should be- placed on the fur hats and also why ferromanganese should go on the free list The. Crane Valce Co., which has large plants in Bridgeport and other cities in America was particularly anxious that ferro manganese, should go on the free list but they were opposed by the powerful steel trust which was work ing with might and main to keep this alloy so essential to independent man ufacturers like Crane Valve Company oR the free list.
 Congressman Donovan was appeal ed to by the Crane Valve Company to use his influence to have the alloy put on the free list and he went to work on the matter in his usual thor osIrh manner. His unremitting la- bors were today rewarded with sue cess for the committee voted 11nani- moI1sty to include the alloy on the list of s'free raw materials

 Rev. Brothers in Christ, Beloved
 Brethren of the Laity:
 'fThe passing away of a priest is a stirring fact to all of us. It is ca1- cuIated to make us say, how transitory after all are the creatures of the world and even the world itself For here is a man to whom the Lord and Mas ter has said, Thou art A priest fOE-. ever who now lies cold in death and clad in the sombre clothes of the. grave His duty, as is the duty of evefy one who is clothed with Inc garb and intrusted with the holy Of- flee of the priesthood, was to prepare by his holy work others for the great and awful hour of death. By ordin-i atton every priest becomes the aTnDass- ador of Christ in this world, where tE is his duty to represent to hls fellow man here below, the laws and privi-i leges of God, his Father, and his King- Even more than this, he is called Another Christ for in his own per son as a priest, he performs the very works which our King and Saviour Jesus Christ performed while on earth It is his great duty to carry out me soIernn commission of Jesus Christ t1o and preach the Gospel to all nations Co and tell the world the gladsome .tidings of the Incarnation Of Jesus Christ, how He became Man ana Vaay- l,s
