Interesting Information.

Cut glass is not only ornamental,
but useful as we'll. 1t is something
that everybody is proud to display
when entertaining guests and some
thing your friends talk about after
leaving for home. 1t gives that neces-
sary touch to make everything har-
monize with the rest of the evening ;
affair Candy, fruit, salads, or any
thing, served in cut class dishes are
much more attractive. Good jewelry
should also be worn at all times, as
it gives the person wearing it dis
tinguished look and is easily detected
from cheap jewelry.

LOCAL FREIGHT CASE
SUBMITTED TOT. c. c.
Decision on Petition Of Washington
Merchants Expected Within
Short Time.

With the presentation of oral argu-
ments before the full interstate com
merce commission this morning. the
Washington rate case. an outgrowth OF
the store door delivery case. was SUD
mitted this morning. and it is believed
by those who have been following the
case closely that the commission Will
render Its decision within a short time.
The attorneys were limited to two hours,
the railroads taking only fifty minutes,
while the complainants' attorneys took
one hour and ten minutes to present
their side. ~#..
For Judd & Detweiler. the argument
was presented by j. Raymond Hoover:
for the Chamber of Commerce. by Chaplin
Brown and II. carlton Hanes; for the
Retail Merchants Association. by Maur-
ice D. Rosenberg, while Henry +. Bike
presented the case of the Pennsylvania
railroad and allied lines and NJ. P. Cal
loway for the Southern railway and allied
lines.
Claims Charge for Service.
Some stress was laid by Attorney Hoov
er on the letter sent by George D. Dix
on of the Pennsylvania road to the Phila-
delphia Chamber of Commerce. saying
that when the delivery service was intro
duced a charge had been made for the
service.
Attorney Hoover contended that this
proved that the service had been charg-
cd for and. in view of the fact that it
had been withdrawn. there should be a
reduction OF the rates accordingly.
Attorney Rosenberg said that Wash
ington had a "frightful rate condition,
and attacked statements that the service
had been performed free of charge by
the railroads WHO ever heard of car
riers giving anything free?" he asked. He
also criticised the action of the railroads
in failing to produce as witnesses per-
sons who had been engaged in making
rates, and declared that the roads had
produced as a witness a man who knew
absolutely nothing about the making of
rates. and admitted that he had never
made a rate
Commissioner Hall, in questioning
Attorney Bike. while the latter was
making his argument, characterized
the delivery service as free, when he
asked: when did this free delivery
service begin in Baltimore? Attor-
ney Bike sought to show that the
service had been inaugurated to meet
an economic condition.
Strange Economic Proposition.
of course said Commissioner
Clements. looking back, il would
seem to be strange economic PROPOSE
ton to spend thousands of dollars a
year for drayage instead of building
larger terminals"
Attorney Bikle also attacked the sew
eral different scales of rates submitted
by the compliments at different times
as representing what they considered
would be fair rates to Washington. He
analysed each one. and declared that
every one of their theories would fail
to stand a practical application to the
present situation"
On the point of PREPARATION. Attorney
Galloway said that during the hearings
not one bit of evidence had been in
troduced to show that there was any
ground for reparation. He declared
that he had pressed every witness
along this line.
