STATES UPHELD IN CASES
2-cent Passenger Laws and Maximum
Freight Rate Laws Sustained.


Washington.-W Without varying a
dot from the principles laid down in
the Minnesota rate cases, the Supreme
court of the United States upheld state
railroad rate legislation in Missouri,
Arkansas, oregon and West Virginia.
This legislation included 2-cent pas
senger laws in Missouri, Arkansas and
West Virginia; maximum freight rate
laws in Missouri and Arkansas; and
freight rates out of Portland in the
Oregon cases. The only exception to
the sweeping approval of state stat
utes was in the case of several weak.
er roads in Missouri.
The Kentucky case was not decided.
1t involves an attack upon state rates
from river points to inland distillery
cities, and involves, in addition, an at
tack on the constitutionality of the
form of the McChord act, enabling the
state railroad commission to fix rea-
sonable rates on intrastate business.
A decision in this case may be forth
coming when the court meets again
in October.

2 MEET DEATH IN NIAGARA
Donald Roscoe and Hubert Moore Are
CAUGHT in the Whirlpool Rapids.

Caught in the Whirlpool Rapids.
Niagara Falls, N. Y.-Donald Ros-
coe, 10 years old, and Hubert Moore,
9 years old, both Of Niagara Falls,
went to their death in a small boat
in the whirlpool rapids, while hun
dreds of men watched, helpless, from
the shore.
The boys we're playing in a fiat
bottom scow half a mile above the
rapids when the rope holding the
boat broke and they were carried
out into the stream and down the
river.
Until the boat reached midstream
it made little progress. After it pass
ed the bridges the current carried 1t
swiftly toward the rapids. The bridge
men did not see the boat until 1t was
close at hand. Then they called fire
headquarters and two companies of
firemen we're sent to save the lads If
possible.
Hundreds swarmed to the river
banks in a vain effort at rescue. The
boys, realizing their fate, stood up as
the boat neared the edge of the roar
ing whirlpool and shook hands in
farewell. A second later they were
engulfed by a great wave in the rap
ids. The boat shot out of sight One
of the boys was seen for a moment
struggling in the rushing waters. Nei-
Their body was recovered.

WILSON IS BACKED
ON CURRENCY BILL
MAJORITY or MEMBERS or THE
HOUSE BANKING COMMITTEE
AGREE TO PROGRAM.
THE PRESIDENT is PLEASED
At Conference at the White House
Congressman Express Their Views
Upon Measure.

Washington.-Pres Wilson Sc
cured from a majority of the Demo
cratic members of the house banking
and currency committee expressions
Of harmony and acquiescence IN the
administration program or enacting a
currency bill during the present ses-
sion of congress.
At a two-hOur conference held
around the cabinet table in the white
house offices, the congressman were
asked their views on the administra-
ton currency bill. Some of them had
not yet thoroughly examined the meas
ure, but those who expressed opinions
we're favorably inclined toward it.
When the fourteen committeeman filed
out of the office and a group OF cor
respondents met them, Representative
Glass smiling referred the correspond
ents to the president. Just then Mr..
Wilson himself walked to the door Of
the office and talked with the news
papermen.
The president explained that the
meeting was chiefly a get-together at
fair, that naturally some VI Tie uS-
tails in the bill had brought out con-
siderable discussion, but that so far
as he had observed there was friend
ly feeling toward the fundamentals OF
the administration measure. Mr.. Will
son said, moreover, that the members
of the committee seemed all to desire
action at the present session, but that
they had asked him not to hurry con-
sideration of the bill, so that it might
be deliberated upon carefully The
president remarked that he had had no
intention of seeking hasty action and
hoped that by common counsel and
conferences a measure satisfactory to
the party could be obtained
There was no detailed examination
of the bill section by section at the
conference. 1t was to urge upon them
the necessity of standing by the adj
mfnistration measure, subject to any
amendments, that the conference was
called. There will be other confer
ences at the white house

to DR.. Carl L. Alsberg, chief OF tfS

tor Alsberg was speaking OF the llml
tations of the federal bureau under the
federal pure food law, appealing fol
closer cooperation between federal
and state authorities, and for uniform
ity of laws of states based on the
national laws.
The food and drugs act, Doctor Ais

the department of agriculture power &c
act in many vitally important matters
but actually prohibits its intervention
in many things that call aloud for i'm

Doctor Alsberg explained that the
word guaranteed" on a can of soup
or on a bottle of nerve tonic did not
mean that the bureau of chemistry had
seen and analysed it, but that the
manufacturers put it on simply with
the idea of protecting the jobber or
retailer. All that the guarantee leg
