Uniform Rate Scale
for All Railroads
Is Not Practical
WEATHER TO
Be UNSETTLED

Washington, Dec. 29.-Generally fair
weather Is predicted for the next few
days In parts OF the country east Of
the Rocky mountains and over the
southern plateau region. Rains are
expected in the southeastern states
and probably SHOWS in the middle At
lantic and New England states, upper
Ohio valley and lower lake regions.
The weekly forecast of the weather
bureau says:
"A disturbance of moderate intcnsi
ty central over Louisiana will ad-
on Monday in the southeastern states
and cloudy weather and probably
SHOWS Monday and Tuesday in the
middle Atlantic and New England
states, the upper Ohio valley and the
lower lake region. With this exception
the weather will be fair during tho
next several days in practically all
mountains and over the southern pla-
teau region. Abnormally low pressure
over Alaska and the Aleutian islands
will cause general rains during the
week on the Pacific coast.
THE next disturbance Of import
ance to cross the country will appear
on the north Pacific coast on Monday Y
or Tuesday, attended by high winds
and rains and cross the great central
valleys about Thursday and the east
ern states on Friday; this disturbance
will cause local SHOWS in the northern
states. Another disturbance will reach
the north Pacific coast about Thurs
day and prevail over the middle west
near the end of the week; this dis
turbance will be attended by general
rains and SHOWS and be followed by
decidedly colder weather"

Referred to Government Own

Possible Outcome
COST ACCOUNTING NEEDED
Steam Roads Only Big Busi-
ness That Neglects Scienti-
fic Accounting

Minneapolis, Mimi. Dec. 29.-B. II.
Meyer Of the interstate commerce
commission, in an address at the TWEEN
tv-sixth annual meeting OF the Ameri-
can Economic association declared a
uniform rate scale for all railroads
was not practically possible, nor is IT
necessarily desirable. Meyer referred
to government ownership as a possible
final outcome of the increasing gov
ernmont regulation, but even that, he
asserted, will not put an end to the
rate problems.
The Kaleidoscope nature OF tho
facts which enter into a particular
rate problem always will probably de-
feat every attempt to impose a uni
form rule upon tariff throughout the
United States" Meyer said.
at Is, however, more important that
justice be maintained than that some
specific standard be promulgated. The
most important single factor Is the
fair or final value, which we hope
will be known at no distant future.
Outstanding securities against the
property should receive no Considera-
ton In the establishment of the
rates"
The cost Of service is an import ,
ant factor, but in fact ii is common
knowledge that the science Ofthe cost
of accounting has been applied TO eV-
cry important branch Of industry ex-
Cept steam railroad transportation.

shots were exchanged. Rokowsi then
ran through the woods to the deserted
cabin, where he barricaded the doors
Taking a position at a window, he
fired at every movement within range.
The posse waited for the heavy fog
to lift
Meanwhile Rokowski, under cloak
of the fog, left the cabin and got a
running start Of an hour on the posse

Wound Not Dangerous.
Chicago, Dec. 29.-There is only the
most remote chance that the wound
fatal. Probably within ten days he
will be back in the copper country Of
Michigan directing the strike of the
miners in his capacity as president Of
the western Federation of Miners.
Optimistic news Of his condition
came from Drs. G. ". Hilton and
William M Harsha at st. Luke's hos
pital today when the skiagraph show
ed that the bullet was imbedded in
the muscles of his left shoulder.
Within forty eight hours at the latest
the surgeons will know whether it Is
wiser to remove the bullet or to allow
it to remain. Unless blood poisoning
develops it is probable it will be al
lowed to stay where 1t Is, unless the
proposed investigation Of the shooting
at Hancock. Mich, imperatively de-
mands that the caliber Of the bullet
be ascertained in order to trace the
culprit who fired the shot.
The patient was in cheerful frame
Of mind. but the physicians insisted
that he should see only those visitors
whose business Meyer regarded as
urgent, and the duration of the calls
was curtailed as far as possible by
the hospital authorities.
