ANOTHER OLD
SHACK RAzED
TO THE GROUND
The Shack on Sixth Street West of
Washington Demolished at
Request of Owner

The unsightly shack at $40 Sixth
street, just west of Washington, has
been razed 1t probably stood there
during the civil war and of late
years when it became more and
more dilapidated it has marred the
beauty of surrounding costly resi-
dences.
The building was condemned a
number of years ago and when the
new form of government assumed
charge, the efforts TO cause It's de-
struction were again repeated. For
a while the work was delayed on
account of the question of owner
ship. The ground was recently
purchased by Mrs. Rose Steagala Of
Sixth street and she requested that
the building be razed.
City Jailcr Boyd brought out his
Jail birds and in a short while they
had the building torn down. The
work was carried out through the
efforts of Commissioner Feuchter.
Health officer Or. w. G.. Clarke and
Fire Chief Fetcr Lind. These Off
cials also succeeded in removing the
shooting gallery and fish stand
that have stood for number of
years on Commercial avenue just
south of Sixth street.

SAYS
SENATOR cUMMINs cRITIcIsEs
REQUESTS THAT REsTRIc-
TloNs BE LoosED

Washington, April Ex-senator Cum
minis charged on the floor of the sen
ate today that a persistent and wide
spread campaign was being conducted
to arouse public sympathy for a five
per cent increase in freight rates on
eastern railroads, now pending before
the interstate commerce commission.
The senator expressed confidence
that the commission would decide the
question on it's merits, but said that
the public was being misled by in
correct and exaggerated statements.
In connection with the proceedings
before the commission" he continued,
there is in progress the most COM
prehensive, energetic, and persistent
campaign that I have ever witnessed
to make the people of the country be-
lieve that the effort Of the govern
ment to regulate railroads, railway
rates and railway practices has result
ed in dismal, disastrous failure; that
the government in its endeavor to pro-
tect the people has impoverished the
transportation companies; that it has
driven them to the very verge of bank
ruptcy and ruin; that it has destroyed
their credit and rendered them inca
pable of performing the service which
commerce demands; that it has out
lawed them from the confidence of
capital and exiled them from the field
of the investor.
"This extraordinary campaign has
filed the newspapers with headlines,
with dispatches, with letters and with
editorials. It has taken possession of
the magazines out of which week af-
ter week issue appeals for justice to
the decadent railroads and to despond-
ent railroad managers, and it gives
dinners and holds public banquets
where the eloQuence of orators paints
lurid pictures OF empty treasures, OF
worn out tracks, of falling bridges and
dilapidated equipment. It is beyond
doubt that the railroads are now ex-
periencing a somewhat severe depres-
sion. The volume of traffic is greatly
diminished, as compared with ath two
or three years ago. The depression
began with the first Of October last,
and has grown more serious with
each month since that time. hope
and / may add that it is my belief
that these distressing conditions will
be temporary and that speedily bust
ness will resume its normal condition" "
