In addition to the strong personal and
political influences at work to secure
clcmcncy for, Smith aud to spare HIM the
humiliation OF domning the stripes OF -

mthy among citizens OF all classes be-
cause of the fact, according to the tcsti-

Since his release, from the Kinds

GoIgotha.

The one spot which more than any
other has controlled the history OF
Europe lies, strangely enough, not In
Europe itself, but in Asia. For the
possession of the site where Christ
suffered, was buried and rose again"
more blood has been shed than for
any other. An immense number OF
lives were laid down during the Cru.
sades; and for 600 years before the
Crusades, and even to the present
time. q constant stream OF pilgrims
has poured into Jerusalem to worship
at the spot made sacred by the cruel
fixion Of Christ.
From the fourth century after
Christ until fifty years ago this site
was generally conceded to be within
the Church OF the Holy Sepulchre.
Now two sites dispute the claim OF
being the actual Golgotha. The latter
claimant is known as "Gordon's Cal
vary" though to an American, DR..

due the actual discovery OF 1t. Gen.

MREYNOLDS LOOKS
INTO BIG MERGER SUIT
FEDERAL AUTHORITIES CONSIDER
ACCESSIBILITY OF ACTION.
Policy of Government has Been in Rail
road Antitrust Actions to Force
Carriers to Make Common
Cause Together.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Me
Reynolds has directed that attorneys IA
miliar with the cases under the anti
trust law brought against railroads 90
over the record upon which Attorney
General Collins OF Mississippi Is attack
ing the validity OF the merger Of the
Illinois Central and the lazoo 4 MiS,ts.
Sippj Valley Railroads with a view 10
determining whether the federal govern
ment should or should not bring suit.
The whole matter has been before the
department ever since MIR. Collins filed
his suit, but owing to other business, not
much attention has been paid to the
subject.
Prosecutions OF railroads under the
antitrust act are not SO frequent because
the policy OF the interstate commerce
commission points toward Il uniheatlon
OF the railroads into one system OF ma
tionai highways. The commission, when
a rate is challenged, either as mrcaSon-
able OF discriminatory, proceeds agalns'
all carriers participating in the tariffs
naming the challenged rate. When It
makes an order il directs it to leave the
carriers. directing all to observe II par
ticular rate as the maximum charge to
be made.
The effect OF such action is to force
railroads to act together whether they
want to or not. When the two railroads
merge, the commission makes that Il rea'
son for reducing the rate to Il 'onellne'
haul basis, So long rs there is no mcr,
ger the commission allows a higher rate
than for Il single line haul. For instance
If the y. 4 VI. Y. were independent, tn,
Joint rate from Baton Rouge or any

CHAPTER VIII.

When Wright reached his Office the
morning after the ball, he found his
attorney, Arthur Morrison, waiting for
him. He had been drawn to Morrison
the first time he had met him and
had asked him to take m Of the pa
per's legal business. In this his judg-
ment had not been warped by a sud-
den friendship, for the young lawyer
was worthy of his confidence. Like
Judge Gilbert, he had risen from an
humble home, but unlike the adviser
Of Belmont corporations he had made
his way independently of the malign
influences which constantly seem to
seek to attract young men of talent
who follow the law as a profession.
To him both as his legal adviser and
his friend, Wright had talked freely
and had rejoiced to learn that Morrt-
sons ideals and hopes for Belmont
were the same as his own.
Even il you hadn't asked me to
watch things with you while you are
still a stranger to Belmont" Morrison
began, IT think l would have come
to you. Last night while we we're en-
Toying ourselves a bill was introduced
in the council for a car line down
Maple Avenue"
Il saw an account of it In the Ban
ner, and thought it strange nothing
had been made public before 1t was
introduced. Who wants the fran.
chise?"

meeting and push 1t through"
Kerr isn't likely to do that. Hei
interested, l suppose. but how?"

Before the paper came out, Wright
telephoned Gloria that he would be UNI
able to drive with her but that he
would call in the evening. They had
reached the point in their fast friend
ship where she was not unwilling TO
pout and let him know how disap2oint-
ed she was.
II was four O'Clock when Morrison
arrived at the News Office with a copy
of the proposed franchise. AS he
threw it on the table in Wright's pri-
vate office he exclaimed:
IF that goes through, the company
can do anything according to its pro,
vision except commit murder"
II suspected as much" replied
Wright. What right of way have
they?"
Morrison went to the map OF Bel
mont on the wall and located the city
terminus of the proposed line.
Here's where they start on their
own tracks" he explained. You see,
there's a provision in the charter OF
the Belmont Traction Company where
by any interurban line can use its
tracks into the heart of the city upon
payment of a fair rental. Here's the
Townsend Park Line coming down
Bluff Street, and right here where
Bluff Street crosses Maple Avenue the
lnterurban's own tracks will start"
Then how does it rum"
South on Maple Avenue and Maple
road, to a private right Of way which
begins east of the stock-yards and par
aliels the county road to Corona"
Wright studied the map earnestly.
You see, I'm too new to know that
neighborhood," he said. why did
they pick Maple Avenue?'
IT'S the only street they can use in
that part of town. It's the natural
artery for that new district out there
since there are hills on both sides
of it."
Wright still puzzled over the map
what are those red lines crossing
Maple Avenue about two blocks south
of Bluff Street," was his next Iues
ton.
Those? They are the railway tracks
of all the lines entering Belmont ex
cept those that come down the rivel
from the north"
Are they going to build a viaduc
there?"
Nothing is said about It,"
The new venture would be a gooC
thing for Belmont-if the compan.
would confne itself to good works
The most Objectionable thing was tn
lack of frankness on the part of thu
men back of the enterprise. Here wa
