COMMERCE COMMISSION
IN FREIGHT RATE PROBE
Denies Application of FIfty-tWo
Eastern Railroads to Re-
open the Old Case.
MAKES AND ANNUlS ORDER
Officials Say Form of Mandate
Will Be Changed in Phrase
ology, Not Principle
Roads Disappointed.

Washington. June 2f.-An inquiry will
he made by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission on its own initiative into the APP
plication of the railroads east Of the
Mississippi and north Of the Ohio and
Potomac rivers for permission 10 advance
freight rates. both class and commodity
Early to-day an order was issued by
the commission denying the application
Of the fifty-two Eastern lines to reopen
the old advance rate case, No. 300. which
was a proceeding looking TO the increase
Of class freight rates. Concidentally. the
commission issued a second order insti-
tuting. on its own motion. an invcstiga-
zion Of the general proposal Of the rail-
roads to increase all freight rates, both
class and commodity. Late this after
noon. after a conference. the commission
issued third order resembling its order
Of investigation and announcing that a
substitute would be issued later.
The last order created wide conjecture
among those interested. as it was accom-
panied by no explanation. II was said
later by commission officials that the form
Of the order Of investigation was not sat
isfactory and would he changed In the
forthcoming order in phraseology rather
than I'm principle.

have an opportunity to demonstrate the
necessity, as they view IT. OF the proposed
increase OF 5 per cent. This appncauo"
was denied, because the commission pre-
ferred to consider the present appllca-
ton as entirely new. In the old case ohiy
class rates were affected by the proposeu
advance; in the pending application II Is
proposed 10 increase all rates per cent

The Rescinded Order.

In its order which was rescnded the
commission directed that the inquiry
should cover two points viz:
"Do the rates Of transportation now
imposed by common carriers by railroad
I'm official classification territory yield an
ADEQUATE net return? and
If not, what plan shall be adopted to
increase such transportation charges"
This statement was given out when the
order was rescindcd
Through misunderstanding, draft OF
an order ~ the commission for invest-
cation Of proposed advances In rates In
official classification territory was served
upon the carriers and given 10 the press.
This action has been roscindcd. Within
few days the commission Will consider
its acton and issue a correct order
4 petition OF the railroads five weeks
ago sought permission 10 advance freight
rates. both class and commodity, per

In an effort 20 avoid tho necessity for

roads at least $4,000. their officials re-
auested the commission to reopen the

What the Roads Desired.

AS the proposition stands, II is ques-
ton TO be determined by testimony anu
argument. The roads petition that they
are prepared TO show the necessity Tor
the expenditure Of many millions OF dol
lars for many purposes. among Which
are enlargement of yards and terminals
additional tracks, block signals, ADDITION
al shops improvements in stations
changes and eliminatlons Of grade cross
ings. new locomotives, new passenger ana
freight cars and other equipment; that
these large expenditures OF money are
demanded by existing and future trans
portation conditions, and must be made
II your petitioners are to satisfy the
needs Of the public for improved and ad-
ditional facilities"
1t is declared further that the great
sums Of money needed for these improve
ments must be largely provided by the
issue Of new securities. and that such
necessary capital cannot, under existing
TRANSFORMATION rates. be obtained except
on terms which would be prohibtive, or
which the carriers generally would not
be Justified I'm assuming. The net earn

sufficiently large to furnish that margin
Of surplus which will afford the carriers
the credit necessary to enable them 10
secure the additional capital required for
such necessary purposes. and it Is only
through an increase in freight rates that
this can be accomplished.
While the decision of the Interstate
Commerce Commission yesterday refus-
ing the application Of ffty-two Eastern
railroads an increase of > per cent In
freight rates throughout official classitl-
cation territory was a source Of great
disappointment, 1t did not create any
great disturbance IN the stock market
except for a furry Immediately after the
opening. This was due 20 the belief quite
generally expressed that the INVESTIGATION
10 be made by the commission would ult!-
mately favor the carriers.
Il is not the custom OF railroad eXecu-
tives during the summer months 10 be at
their desks on Saturdays. and for this
reason II was impossible to obtain any
general expression OF opinion yesterday
on the Commerce Commissions ruling.
President Melen OF the New Haven. how
ever. proved the exception 10 the rule.
and # his comment can be taken as in
dicative Of the feeling among other rail-
road heads the decision was expected.
Il had no expectation that the request
would be- granted" he said. and am
neither surprised nor disappointed as to
the result
The worst feature Of the decision, from
the point Of view Of the carriers. Is the
indefinite delay involved, even should the
Commerce Commissions proposed inves-
tlgation finally be decided in their favor.
Railroads are unquestionably in need OF
funds TO make improvements demanded
by the public and until the question ~
rates IS settled they will undoubtedly
adopt a policy OF strict economy. which
means a slackening up in other lines Of

Typhoid Prevalent in Country.

How vital a matter immunizatiOn IS 10
this city, especially at this season Of the
year, when many persons are going 10 re-
sorts, is indicated in figures by the health
officials, who maintain that about q per
cent OF all typhoid cases in this city occur
among persons who have been out OF
town during the period when they con-
tracted the disease. Every autumn the
vacationists, 1t is explained. contribute
heavily to the seasonal increase In this
disease.
With systematic immunization Of all
exposed persons, IL Is asserted, practically
no secondary cases would occur In fam
lilies. The few injected persons who have
contracted the disease were already in
fected at the time Of treatment. but the
disease had not yet clearly manifested IL
self. None Of these cases, though,
showed the severity OF the average case
of typhoid fever. In other instances
where the treatment was rejected the dis
ease was later contracted In its worst
form.
The growth Of the work is shown In the
figures for the first six months. In the
first month of the year there were 10 i'm
muniZations performed. in the second, ~;

Free Seeds
-By wait 1Inson.


Our congressman, who dies and bleeds,
to guard our sacred banner, sent me a
bunch of garden seeds, all in the Oldtime
manner. Oh, there are seeds Of bets
and peas, and early June tomatoes, and
there are seeds of Sweitzer cheese and
German fried potatoes. And 1 may have
an onion bed, in greens I'll take a flyer;
and may raise a cabbage head to smoke
in nv old briar. And yet it seems this
bunch of seed a hopeless grist Of bOsh Is;
there are so many things I need much
lore than peas or squashes! Our con-
gresham. who bleeds and dies, to keep
the flag a-faunting, should make an
effort to get wise to what we're really
wanting. I'd like to have a chug-chug
cart, to ease my eOrns and bunions,
and o, it breaks my wOrld-wOrn heart,
to get a pack of oniOnsl I'd like to
have a widespread fame, like that OF
Taft OF Perkins, and so it seems seedy
game to load me down with gherkins.
I'd like to see my daughters wear swell
lids and silken dresses, and here 1 get, to
my despair, some wilted water-cresses!
Our congressman, who sheds his blood,
when perils brood and grumble, has got
a headpiece full of mud-he ought to
take tumble.

CONFEDERATE FLAG
DESIGNER IS DEAD

Orrin Randolph Smith, captain in
the Confederate army, designer OF The
ensign of the COnfederacy and veter-
an of the Mexican, Civil, and indian
wars, died a few days ago at his home
in Mcpherson, \. c. at the age OF
efehtv-four. When the Spanish war
broke out he attempted to enlist
again, but the recruiting officer,
would not accept him, on account OF
his age, although the veteran protest
cd ne was Sturdier than most OF the
Young men in the ranks. His claim
that he had originated the design OF
the Confederate flag was disputed at
various times, but in the long run his
tOrians upheld him. as well as MS
comrade veterans of the south.
He was born in Warren county, N c,
in 1925. In addition to serving
throughout the, war with Mexico. ne
took part in the campaign OF 1891

march and occupation Of Salt Lake
City by federal troops commanded by
Albert Sidney Johnston. then colonel OF
cavalry, Captain Smiths next service
was in' the confederate army He In
listed in June, 1851, as private, ana
served until the end of the war
He was best known, however Tor
his part in the designing Of the cOnfed-
crate flag, not the battle flag, but
the '-Old Stars and Bars, which was
the official ensign OF the Lost cause,
until after the second battle of Manas-
sas- Then a change was made, owing
to the fact that the nag so greatly re-
sembled that of the United States as
to cause confusion and to lead to the
firing BY confederates upon their own
men He devised the flag at Louis
burg. n. C, in March 1861
The question at that day was wheth-
er the confederates would fight under
the "Oid Constitution and the Old
Flag" and there were strong advocates
Of this plan, but they were overcome
and hence it came about that new
constitution was adopted and there was
an official call for a design for new
naS. Mr. Smiths successful design
was the flag Of three bars, red. white
and red, with a blue field, IN winch al
