Churchill was Goldman s chauffeur.
He arrived here Monday and, it is

While the officer was telephoning to
the Massachusetts secretary of state
Churchill vanished with the car and
was next heard from at Castleton.
There, it is said, he painted the ma
chine black, doing the work himself.
Last evening he returned to this city
and was arrested. He withstood a
good grilling of two or three hours
Later, in going through his effects, the
police found in the car an automobile

A COMMON SENSE DECISION.

The United States supreme court has |
Just ruled that a railroad has no inner
cRt right to charge more for hiplling |
a carload of freight from Boston to |
Denver than for hauling a similar car |
load from Boston, through Denver, to !
San Francisco. The decision does not
specifically mention these points, but
they are suggested here as serving toI
illustrate the salient feature in the
long and short haul decision
For many years the railroads dis
eliminated in the most unconscionahle
manner in favor of low freight rates
for communities which enjoyed the
benefits of competitive water traffic
Pacific coast points which were served
by water borne transportation retriH
ed freight rates from the railroads very
much cheaper than points hundreds OF
miles inland, though the haul to the
coast was Just that much longer. If
memory serves Alright the Boston to
Denver and Boston to, San FraRxi SEQ
rates wefe Something like this: 80
W. OdlS VI SiHilidI Size, lOdbtu
with the same commodity, were coupled
together at Boston, one consigned to
Denver, the other to Frisco. The rate
of the Frisco car was 800. The rate
on the Denver car was the rate to
| Frisco plus the rate back from Frisco
to Denver, or say $b40.s This, in Spite
of the fact that the Denver car was
dropped off at Denver while the Frisco
car continued on a Journey many hun,
dreds Of miles longer.
Not to complicate the subject by
describing the various processes of
law involved, it may be said that the
decision of the supreme court is to the
effect that the power to establish
freight rate zones rests, under the
law, wholly in the interstate commerce
commission, that the law prohibiting
lower rates for a long haul than fol
q short haul must stand effective un
less special exception is made by The
commission, and that the railroads have
not the right, as they have contended
to make such rates with the commits
sion 5 power limited to the power OF
review
For many years such cities as Spo
kane have suffered from a paralyzin,
discrimination in rates of Freight from
he East The present case arises IRON
an attempt by the interstate commerce
commission to reduce the rates t.
these points in the mountain zone, t
liberate these communities from tn
grasp of an intolerable condition tina
was rmnous to their growth--and con
sequently damaging, in the long run
to the business Of the railroads as we
| as of everybody else.
| The general public will not be deepl
| concerned with the niceties of lega
hair splitting by virtue of which tn
/ supreme court reached it's decision
i will rather be inclined to congratulate
4 itself on the fact that the court Ina
| decided on the side of the most obv
Gus justice. The way this matter ha
always appealed to the direct logic {
the layman is that if railroad can "a
ford to carry a carload of freight ,
/ 600 miles for 500 it has no right
charge $40 for carrying it a lit
more than 1000 miles, over the san
route. If it is carrying it the 300
miles cheaper than it can afford IL

old reliable staple colors, dark blue,
brown, gray, and the dark reds make
the best choice for children. The
capes are lined either with plain mate
rial or with stripes or plaids.
When the home dressmaker under
takes to make cape she should pro-
vide herself with a pattern in order
to get the adjustment over the shoul-
ders as it should be. Some capes
flare more than others, also, and the
finishing at the neck varies, as do the
methods Of fastening.
It would be difficult to find a more
desirable model than the one pictured
here. It is so managed that 1t may
be fastened up about the throat, when
required, By buttons and loops on the
under side. Straps crossing in front
hold it in place when it is worn open
at the front, as shown in the picture.
In keeping with the fad for suit
hats, caps to match capes or other
wraps keep pace with the times. The

m HE simplest OF wraps both for chill
} dren and grownups happens to
be the strongest feature of the new
fall styles. This is the cape. 1t was
inconceivable that it should be devel-
oped in 10 many variations of shape
and combinations with other gar
ments uutil the fact was apparent.
Now we have long plain capes cover
ing the figure, half length and three
quarter length capes (sofne Of them
in combination with other wraps and
nearly always detachable), and others
that are short and used as touch
of style on coats. So that the cape
may be accepted and used in any way
the individual chooses.
A pretty cape for a school girl is
shown in the picture. Such a simple
garment is easily made at home, and
nothing could be better for the cool
days OF autumn and the long Indian
summer. This cape is made Of a
rather heavy wooden fabric in fancy
weave which looks like wide vale
cheviot. Any of the standard woolens
are appropriate for thege capes, and

mans with their great numbers and
their overwhelming superiority in ar
tillery after having broken the resist
ance of the allies at Charleroi and
penetrated to the very gates OF PARTS,
were unable to maintain their posi-
tions. The military science of Gen.
eral Joffre certainly furnished one re-
Iply to that question but military
writer in the Liberte Du Sud thinks
there is another in the cumbersome
character Of the German heavy ar
tillery.
The famous German mortars, the
brummers, are capable Of firing a
14-inch shell as long as man Of aver
age height a distance of eight miles.
They were considered most redoubt-
able before the war and, in fact, they
did terrible execution on the forts OF
Liege and other fortified positions,
but since their entry into France not
much has been heard from them ex-
cepting the exploits at Rheims and
at Maubeuge.
1t has been discovered that this inn
mense fighting machine is nearly as
delicate in its mechanism as it is for
midable. It requires experts to fire
it, most of the gunners being engi-
neers from the Krupp works, and when
something happens to them, as has
been the case when they have come
within reach of the "mrcos," it is al
most impossible to replace them Be-
sides it is necessary that the mortars
be installed in formidable position
with well laid foundations; consequent
| ly when prearranged plans are dis
turbed their efficiency is greatly re-
duced, 1t requires good roads also,
and even then it takes 40 horse power
to draw one of them, consequently
they do not fit in very well with the
equipment Of an army that depends
upon its speed to win, and rainy
weather of course, is not at all good
for them. Again, their effectiveness
is neutralized when the French "75'
is able to get inside its long range,
and it does not stand long against the
terrible hammering Of which this gun
is capable
Finally, this expert thinks that in
case of forced retreat most of these
heavy mortars are likely to be found
by the French stuck in the mud.
