"These persons are to judge OF the

MANY families are in need of re-

The Railroad Commission Of Call.
fornia has been considering the ques.
ton of ong.distance telephone rates

II would be impossible to make ex.

out complete statistics and explana.

down in railroad time tables and re.
Numbering that the use here Is for
three minutes instead Of two the
reader may perhaps figure out com.
parison for himself.
The rate from San Francisco to
Palo Alto, "a miles, was 80 cents and
Il has been reduced to Is cents. The
rate from Chicago to Lake Forest, 2S
miles, is 90 cents, but the service Is
longer and additional charges are .

The rate from San Francisco to
San Jose. so miles. has been reduced
from 40 to 20 cents. The rate from
Chicago to Kankakee. 54 miles, Is AZ

PRESIDENT SMITHS REPORT.

The preliminary annual report OF
President Thomas A. Smyth OF the
Sanitary District Of Chicago. gives
prominence to the fact that while no

LAMARS MOVE TO CAPITAL

Lamar Is q familiar name In the
social annals Of the national capital.
and, glancing through Its written
pages, II seems rare occurrence
when a representative OF the family
has not figured. Certainly not for the
past 20 or 30 years. Judge William
Bailey Lamar and his attractive young
wife are welcome additions to the
circle composed Of former officials
for whom the lure of the city Is ire
sistible. They were here for six years,
beginning with the Fifty.eighth con-
gress. when the Judge, then serving as
attorney general OF his state. was sent
to the lower house After serving In
the Sixtieth congress. Judge Lamar be-
came affiliated with large legal inter-
ests In Atlanta, Ca. and resided there
until two years ago. when he and Mrs.
Lamar returned to Washington. which
will hereafter be their winter home.
"Fads are something ! never had

HEAVY HITTERS
BATTING TO FORM
RY ASSOCIATED PRESS

New York. July 12-Batting aver
ages based upon the hitting in the
two major leagues during the first
three months of the 1914 season show
that as a rule the heavy hitters of
the past two years are batting fairly
close to form. In the National league
Grant, Cincinnati; Crandall. New
York. and Zimmerman. Chicago. were
leading on July 1, 1912. A year later
Crandall, New York; Cravath, Phila-
delphia; Hyatt, Pittsburgh. and Dau
bert Brooklyn, were closely punched
in the race for honors. Their av
erages on the first of July were as
follows: Grant .329. which gave him
fourth place among those players who
had participated in at least twenty
five games. Crandall in the Federal
league was batting at 1928 rate which
put him among the first seven stick
wielders In the new league Zim-
norman, however, showed a slump in
his batting. being more than a hum
dred points below his previous record.
Cravath. who batted .546 in 1913,
showed 81, while Hyatt like Zim-
mer man, was considerably below his
1913 form.
The average in the American league
was about the same. for while Jack
son and Cobb were going at top speed,
iris Speaker and Nap Lajoie had
fallen short of their performances of
the first five hitters in each year were
as follows: 1912. Jackson. Cleveland,
.402; Speaker Boston, 1884; Lajoie
Cleveland, 1884: Cobb, Detroit. .3S2;
Baker Philadelphia, .349; Jackson.
.4O4: Cobb. .397: Speaker. 81; Col
Inns, Philadelphia, 1852; D. Murphy.
Philadelphia, .34S.
This season Cobb was second with
S49; Jackson third. with .32S Baker
sixth, with 1926: Collins tenth, with
295; Speaker fourteenth, with .2S0;
while LaJoie had dropped far down the
list with PAT.

Deceased had a wide acquaintance
in this city, where he had made his
home for many years. Popular with
all who knew him, he numbered his
friends by his acquaintances. Friday
last he showed much Improvement
from an illness with which he had
suffered for a long time. His friends
heard that he was thinking of getting
out of bed, as he was sitting up and
had told his relatives who ministered
to him patiently and affectionately
that he felt good enough to sit up
awhile. Becoming exhausted shortly
afterward, he expressed a desire to go
to sleep, and when the supporting pill
lows were removed, he lay down with
the hope Of soon leaving his room. The
following day, however. ne continued
to sink. and about his last words
were: Let me go to sleep, that long

In order that the three gulf ports,
Pensacola. Mobile and New Orleans,
may be on the same basis the freight
rates from Boston, New York, Phila-
delphia to this city will be advanced
approximately one-third on or before
October 1st
The great ADVANTAGE which Pensa-
cola has enjoyed on freight rates from
the east for the past four years is to
be taken away.
For about ten years prior to 1910
the rail and water rates from New
Is s. s. q 80 IS
In that year the rates to New Or
leans were advanced to:
s5 50 s. SO IS So
and placed under the official classifi-
cation, and at the same time the rates
to Mobile were advanced to.
100 s. 3 So 3 q IS 8 SO 8
and also placed under the official clas-
sification, but the rates to Pensacola
remained stationary at the 75C scale
governed by the southern classification.
When the Mallory S. S. Co put on
their all water service from New York
to Mobile they put in rates to that
city equivalent to the rates now in
effect to Pensacola, or the 75c scale,
which enabled the Mallory line to
compete with the Old Dominion, the
Savannah line, the Clyde and other
steamship lines engaged in handling
freight through the Atlantic ports
destined to the gulf cities, and at the
same time they put on a scale Of rates
to Pensacola that were SC per hun
dred pounds less than the present
rates to this city In other words,
the Mallory line would haul a hun
dred pounds of first class freight from
New York to Mobile, turn 1t over to
the L. & n. and deliver it in Pensa-
cola for roc, whereas the same pack
age delivered in Mobile by Mallory
line would cost 75c.
While the exact figures of the pro-
they will probably be. from Boston,
New York. Philadelphia and Balti-
more, via water and rail through the
South Atlantic ports:

These advances were authorized by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
in a recent decision covering the vio-

clause in the southeast. In regard to
traffic conditions at Pensacola the
commission ruled as follows: There
is no regular water service between
New York and Pensacola and there is
