Submits Question for Decision.

The commission is to decide. according
to the paper. whether or not the elmina-
ton Of the store-door collection and de-
livery OF freight in Washington at this
time. without a corresponding reduction
in the rates, and at the same time per-
hitting this service to be continued in
the city of Baltimore. will be in viola
ton OF the act to regulate commerce
ITO establish the affirmative OF this
issue, the burden of proof unquestionably
rests upon the petitioners, who have
failed absolutely to sustain their con-
tentions. Indeed. they seem to take the
position that 1t was a service inaugurated
for their own convenience and that they
could discontinue the same any time
thereafter that they might see fit to do
So regardless Of any intervening rights
of the shippers.
The Chamber of Commerce brief points
10 the railroads claim that the reasons
for this service far as they are con-
, have increased their terminal floor space
four-fold: and. therefore, can satisfac-
toriy handle all freight by cart-tail de-
livery: in spite of the fact, however,
that the trafic has increased ten-fold-
! (which we submit is in itself mathemat-
icaily impossible for them to do"
While admitting that the carriers de-
clared this to be a free service the brief
says that lit is significant. however. that
this service was applied only to traffic
which would naturally meet with water
competition, and not traffic TO and from

the brief in concluding, that the
petitioners have not shown cause why
the store-door collection and delivery
OF freight at Washington should be
eliminated by the supplements to
tariffs already filed with the commits
sion for this purpose. And that even
should the commission allow these sup
plements 10 become effective il must
al the same time order the filing Of
similar supplements disseminating this
service in Baltimore. and in which
case further hearing should be ac-
corded the shippers Of Washington for
the express purpose Of determining
whether or not the present rates with
this service eliminated are made upon
a normal basis.

more without Interruption: the rates
have been republished with changes
for each city from time to time, and
every time providing for this service;
and in each publication due considera-
ton must have been given by the car
riers to the relative rights of the ship
pers of each city under sections one
and three of the act to regulate COM
merce. and any disturbance of these
rates or the terminal charges in Wash
ington must be presumed to disrupt
the relative rights of the shippers OF
Washington as guaranteed under said
sections of the act. In other words.
the petitioner must show to the COM
mission that the elimination of this
service in Washington without CORE
spending reduction in the rates. while
at the same time retaining this serv-

Chamber of Commerce Contends Dis

tions Is Discrimination.

] Declaring that the railroads seemed

merchants of Washington was insti
tuted for the convenience of the rail
roads alone. the brief of Chaplin Brown.
general counsel. and II. carlton Hanes.
special counsel for the Chamber of
Commerce. opposing the withdrawal of
/ the service. was filed with the inter-
state commerce commission today. The
| brief asserts that the question before
the commission is whether the PhiIa-
delphia. Baltimore and Washington
railroad should be allowed to withdraw
| this store-door collection Sand delivery
| service which is already established,
and not whether the commission should
| require the railroad to make free store
door delivery in Washington of certain
shipments of freight
/ 1t is pointed out that the case of
| The Baltimore and Ohio railroad should
| be dismissed because they have sub
mitted practically no evidence The
document says that the railroads have
voluntarily placed this service upon
! themselves. and further states that 1T
| is not the belief that the commission
will let the decision hang on the
question of whether this service has
been without charge to the shippers.
| IL IS 1uftner stated that the baltimore
| and Ohio Railroad Company does not
| even publish it as a free service on the
| tariffs.
First setting out the material facts
! presented by the record these argu-
ments are considered one by one and

Case of Baltimore and Ohio.
/ Taking up the question of the Balti-
| more and Ohio railroads connection with
the case. the brief says:
/ we would first call attention to the
| fact that your petitioner, the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company, has SUBJ
mitted practically no evidence to justify
| the granting of its petition in this case
| While it is true that counsel for said
petitioner offered in evidence. on it's be-
| half. the record as made by the other
petitioners, Vet it can be readily seen
that. it is impossible the same state
ments can apply with equal force to both
petitioners and indeed many of them
could not apply at all. Nor has said
petitioner so far as we know, either by
brief or otherwise. attempted to comply
with the commissions order to show
cause, except tn. Ugh its witness Brown.
| whose testimony does not bear upon the
material points in the case. And so as
to this petitioner, we feel that the COM
mission must find that it has not sus-
tanned the burden of proof and that it's

Duties of Common Carrier.

Taking up the assertion of the railroads
that common carrier is not obligated to
make personal delivery of freight the
Chamber of Commerce brief declares
that the cases cited might have con-
siderable weight We're it not for the fact
that the railroads voluntarily placed this
obligation upon themselves by the pub
fishing of tariffs having this very service
as one of it's conditions. Each railroad
has by this act" says the brief held
itself out to the public as ready and will
ing at all times to perform this service
in connection with other transportation
services In consideration of a certain
compensation, named in the same tariffs
in cents per hundred pounds. And we
respectfully submit that your petitioner
tthe railroad) cannot say to this COM
mission that it is under no obligations to
comply with this or any other condition
of its published tariffs.
While admitting that some of the rate
statements submitted by the railroads
might indicate that they are normal. the
br.ef declares 1t will be noted that prac-
tically all Of the rates thus submitted are
without the influence Of water compensa-
ton. 1t is declared. however. that in
looking over proper comparison of
rates, as submitted by one of the
protestants witnesses the rates IN ques-
ton are far from representing a nor
NAL basis.
Not Shown to Be Free Service.
After giving the comparisons the docu-
ment states:
In View of the showing made by these
comparisons alone the commission must
find that the petitioners have not shown
the service in question to be free serv
ice. And we might remark here that the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
does not even publish lit a free service
on the tariffs
AS to the railroads contention that the
withdrawal of the delivery practice in
Washington would be no discrimination
in favor of Baltimore. it is stated that
this is absolutely refuted by the record,
and excerpts are given from the testi
mony of the witnesses in this regard
The contention of the railroads that
there is no legal basis for requiring the
continuance of the service, says the pro-
testants' brief is probably well sustained
by the decisions referred to, provided
however, that they avail themselves of
ing this terminal charge. and not lump
the rate and the service in single
charge wherein 1t is impossible for either
the shipper the commission to deter
mine how much of the lump charge is for
the terminal service.
But cannot see that this question
has any bearing on the present case"
says the brief petitioners have not
asked to be permitted to make a charge
Cor this service. therefore the question
not before this commission. Perhaps
in a proper case and upon a pro ~ show
ing that this terminal charge is not al
ready included in the published rates, a
proper charge for this service would be
allowed"

interior points 1t is also significant that
prior to this time similar service had
been inaugurated in Baltimore and ever
since continued and that we find at the
present time the respondents are aveSse
to eliminating this service in Baltimore
stating in no uncertain terms that they
cannot afford to do so on account of this

Either Terminal or Special.

There can be no question. it is con-
tended. that this store-door delivery and
collection of freight in Washington is
either a terminal service or special
service: that the service was established
by the carriers. either as necessity re-
sulting from their own negligence in not
providing proper terminal facilities or else
to meet water competition. and the rail
roads must show that the elimination of
the service at this time would not be In
violation Of law.
Again this service has been CON
tinued in both Washington and Balti-

London, May 5.-Tension in the Eu-
opean situation was somewhat re-
lieved by the news Of Montenegro's
eleventh hour submission. Confronted
by Austria's threatening attitude,
which was backed by italy, King
Nicholas decided to withdraw from
Scutari.
Austria, however, is not relaxing
military preparations although the OBJ
jective Of these preparations is not
now Montenegro, nor even Scutari.
The p~aciication Of Albania is the
task for which Austria is mobilizing

Cooperating with Italy, Austria will
occupy Albania, with the object of
ending anarchial conditions there.
AS a measure Of precaution, mar

neighboring Austrian state. This
means considerable curtailment of

DESIGNED HER OWN ROOM
How One Girl Carried Out Ideas as to
the Furnishing and Col
oring.

Her brown study was the name a
girl gave to a little room she had
made into a snuggery of her own.
where she could read and work and
have coy chats with her friends. 1t
was the brown study because brown
was the prevailing color, enlivened
with yellow. This girl did most of the
work herself, tinting the walls a soft
yellow tan. with a picture molding
painted cream color near the ceiling.
The floor was stained a slightly dark
er shade than the walls. and on II were
laid rag rugs of browns, tans and yell
lows. The girl braided these rugs
from white material she had dyed her
self so that they would be just the
shades she wished.
So far ii was all plain brown, cream
and buff. Now for variety and color
she chose a lowered cretonne with a
design of little yellow oses. With
this she made a slip cover for a little
low rocker, a valance for the top of
her window with side curtains just to
the sill, a curtain run on a brass rod
instead of her cupboard door which
she had taken OF, and a slip cover for
her lounge. She preferred the slip
covers for her chair and sofa because
they could be sent to the wash occa-
%sionally, so keeping her room fresh
and bright. She framed an oblong mir
ror in the yellow rose cretonne, and
painted a bureau, a small kitchen
table, and two kitchen chairs in cream
colored paint. On the table she placed
her blotter with it's dullbrown cor
ners and over the table hung her book.
shelves, well filled. Then she felt she
had a room TO enjoy.

The benefits derived by our farmers
from the pleasure of the motor car can
hardly be estimated. 1t is certainly
equal to the happiness given by the
a to people In other walks Of life,
says Leslie's. 1t can also be claimed
that in the purchase Of the automobile
by our country friends there is an eco
nomic future. 1t enables a daughter
or son OF a farmer living several miles
from the village to market poultry,
eggs. butter, and similar products, do
the buying. and return home in two
or three hours. In the old times
this would require the loss Of the
services OF a man and a team. OF
course, it cannot be claimed from this
standpoint alone that it's advantages
are commensurate with the cost Of the
motor car and the upkeep. Another
factor is of more value. The general
use of cars by the farmers has given
great popularity to this method.

A dispatch from Paris says that a
movement has been started In the gay
city to substitute a less meaningless
phrase for the popular s%alutation.
How do you do?" In the first place,
the French idiomatic phrase of greet
ing cannot be rendered into the Eng
lish How do you do?" but literally
translated Is How do you carry your
self" How do you do?" is not insipid.
but graciously suggests regard for
ones friend by making it the first on
sideration to obtain assurance that he
is In good health. This is the founda-
ton idea OF forms of greeting in all
parts Of the world, including such spe-
cial inquiries as that of "How's your
liver?" which prevails among the Eng
lish In the trying climate OF India. The
probability Is that even the mercurial
French would not be likely to yield
readily to an invitation to change in
q day q custom Of centuries. But Paris
correspondents often are more con-
cerned about amusing their readers
than in%structing them-and this dis
cussion as to altering the form Of sal
utation may afford an illustration OF
that fact.
