RAILROADS WIN

interstate Commerce Commission fa- vers Higher Rates-naiIroads
 
 Near Bankruptcy.

WASHINGTON, July 8-The Inter- state Commerce Commission. which has been in session for many months Investigating the application for an advance of five per cent made by the railroads of the United States, stand four for granting the advance and three against it, and the con- mission is deadlocked over the de sire of certain of the members to have all the members agree to the advance and have no minority report filed.
 The minority members, however, are determined to file the report and it is expected the decision will be recorded late today unless settle ment is made between the two fac tions.
 The railroads claimed that unless the advance was allowed them they were certain to be forced to go into bankruptcy, as they were constantly losing money in spite of the fao- that theyy had cut down the number of trains operated on the system.

WASHINGTON, July S.-Ambassa- dor Williams, of Greece. was not re- moved, as stated in press dispatches sent from here last Monday, but re signed because he wanted to speak his mind regarding the Albanian sit uation, which, he says, is a disgrace to civilized nations, and which, be cause of petty jealousies and a de sire for national advantage are keep ing the factions fighting each other killing by the hundreds, destroying all the property they can and laying waste the new nation.
 It is admitted by the department that the minister would have been busted because he was too plainly showing his disaprpoval of the atti- tude of the powers towards the AL banians and they had complained to the State department of the matter but that Williams had received a tip of what was going on and had ten dered his resignation.

PORTLAND. Ore, July s.-The high cost of living problem is being solved here today to some extent by the people of Portland through the establishment of a municipal market in one of the principal streets of the city. Although. opened but month ago, the market has expanded until it now occupies two blocks. Fruits, vegetables, poultry, dairy foods, in fact everything produced on the farm is being sold by the producer direct to the consumer at prices that are compelling grocers to cease carrying these foodstuffs. An added incentive to trade at the public market is the freshness of the products offered for sale.

 One All the Time.

LONDON, July S.--Freddie Welsh was given the decision here last night in the twenty-round go with Willie Ritchie, the American champion lightweight boxer The mill went the full twenty rounds and neither man was ever knocked off his feet. The fight was one of the fastest ever seen in this city. The decision was made on points and the American sport ing men and writers are all satisfied with the decision, claiming that Ritchie should have been given the decision or else the bout called a draw.
 Both men did some clever boxing and were unusually fast all through the twenty rounds. Welsh scored most in the opening rounds, while Ritchie forced the fighting in the first. sixth and seventh rounds and had the best of it. In the ninth round Welsh recovered and had the best of the round, but Ritchie again led through the thirteenth and fourteenth and in the final rounds.
 The last round was exceptionally fast
 When the referee announced the decision the crowds of Americans be- gan to boot the verdict. claiming that Ritchie had had the best of it in most of the rounds and that in the final he had forced the fight ing all the way.
 Sporting writers in this city all agree that it was one of the best scraps ever pulled of in the city and that Weish's title is not secure un- til he again defeats Ritchie. Ar ransemenNs are being made for a return match.

AIDED WOMAN ID COMMIT MURDER.
 s...- IA |, .,,- !. . Man Who Broke Window ln Doctors Office So That Woman Could
 Kill Patient confesses.

FREEPORT, N. Y, July S.-A new witness called by the coroner inves- tigating the death of Mrs. Bailey, who was shot in Dr. Carman's office on July 5, testified that he was hired by woman, who told him that she wanted to frighten the doctor, and asked him to break the window for her, which he did, and after which she fired into the room killing the woman. Then she asked him to take the revolver and he also obeyed this second request after which she dis appeared.
 The new witness told the prosecut- ing attorney that he had never been paid by the woman, whom he would be able to recognize again, and that he had therefore determined to tell his story. One other man unknown to the new witness aided the woman and disappeared in the woods. Fear ing arrest he also had fled after the shot and had remained in hiding for several days.
 An attempt was made to kill Dr. Carman last night when he was out automobiling. Someone took several shots at him from ambush, but by speeding up the machine he escaped.

English artist, who il In Washington
arranging for an exhibition Of paint
ings before the National Geographic
Society, at the University Club. The
informality and charming intimacy Of
the American family life is refreshing
to any one who has been led to believe
that American mothers spend their
time buying gowns and playing bridge
and that American fathers leave their
offices merely to sleep and eat. On the
contrary, I have discovered after visit
ing American homes that the child here
enjoys more of his parents society than
the children of other nations.
1.-THE English child under 10 is not
intimate with his parents. He never
eats with them. It is his nurse and not
his mother who puts him to bed at
night and bathes him in the morning.
1 have found that the American mother
gives up two years Of her life to each
child, where the English or contin-
mental mother gives but one. Thus the
smaller American families are q
natural consequence.
1.-THE American father also takes a
personal interest in the bringing up
of his family. The English father never
does. The walking the floor with the
baby joke is unknown in England.
simply because no Enslishman would
dream of doing such a thing find that
the American child is 100 per cent bet
Tier behaved than I expected to find
him. Washington Post.

KILLS WIFE ro.EnD HER PAIN
Aged Man Tells How She Asked Him

Philadelphia. Pa.,-Tottering under
the weight of his eighty years. William
Eberwein stood in Criminal court here
and told a simple but dramatic story
Of how his wife, fifteen years younger,
had pleaded with him to kill her. and
how he committed the deed.
After the old man had completed the
story Judge Walling Of Erie, Pa, tenn
porarily presiding in the court, sur
veyed the bent form Of the prisoner.
fixed the crime at murder in the sec
ond degree and imposed the minimum
penalty, which in this case was prac-
tically life sentence.
It was solitary confinement in the
penitentiary for not less than seven
years or more than fourteen.
Says Wife Wanted to Die.
Holding on to the prisoners dock
with trembling hands, Eberwein, who
is a veteran of the civil war, told the
court his wife was an invalid, and that
one day last October he came into the
house and found her lying at the bot
tom Of a stairway down which she had
fallen. He offered to have her sent to
a hospital, but she wouldn't go.
"'You do it. William" Eberwein al
legged she said.

"Then tapped her on the head with
the board and tapped her again. She
didn't moan much, and once when
stopped she kind O. whispered: Go on

PATH OF THE SUN.
Old Sol 10 Still 100000 Years From the
Apex of Its Course.

In accordance with the recognition
OF two independent streams or drifts
of stars, and the discovery that the sun
belongs to one of them, revision be-
came necessary of the determination
of the path of the sun in space. Liable
Moreux sums up in Scientia the recent
work which has been done in ascer-
tanning what is called the solar apex,
beginning with that of Prof. Kopold.
of kiel, who was the first to bring to
light in 1908 the systematic error
which had been introduced In all prev
ious determinations of this point.
1t is clear that this error might be-
come considerable if while the sun
were moving toward the apex of its
own path it were also part Of a swarm
of stars moving with it. The rede-
termination of the direction of the
suns path among the stars has been
accompanied by new investigation.
of the speed at which the solar sys-
tenn moves in space. The new inves-
tieation, which has only been under
taken Systematically since the begin
ming of the century, depends for Its re-
suits on the application Of the princl-
ple that the wave length of a ray of
light must alter according as the
source of light is moving toward or
away from the observer. To apply 1t
to the particular problem before US
It becomes necessary to compare the
radical movements of the stars which
the solar system is leaving behind.
Movements of approach would be In
the ma jority in the first case; move
ments of departure would be domin-
ant in the second. BY striking
mean. relatively to the movements OF
the stars employed in the calculation.
the speed or movement Of the solar
system might be arrived at. When all
the new determinations are correlated
the following seem to be the results
which embody the sum of observations
up to the present time: That the sun
is being carried in the direction Of the
constellation of Lyra, probably aiming
at a point in the neighborhood of the
star Vega, and little to the south Of
it: and that the speed Of its path Is
somewhere between 20 and "a kilo-
meters a second. II Vega were no
farther away than our nearest neigh
Dor Alpha Centauri. the sun would
reach it's goal In 10000 years at latest,
or $4,000 years at earliest. But Vega
is nearly six times as far away, and
the solar apex will not therefore be
reached for some 100000 years.-From
the Boston Transcript.

MRS. WILSON'S SECRETARY.
Miss Helen Woodrow Bones Is tn.
Presidents First Cousin.

prooooo0SS flfSt COUSIN.
Miss Helen Woodrow Bones, who is
first cousin of President Wilson as
we'll as the personal secretary OF Mrs.
Wilson, was much amused by some Of
the things printed about her immedi-
ately after she became a member of the
household at the White House.
MANY of the papers spoke of my
social experience" Miss Bones said
laughingly, described me as having
spent my life extending and receiving
genuine Southern hospitality The
truth of the matter is l have been so
busy earning my living ever since left
school that I've had no time to be en-
tertained, and neither the time nor the
money to entertain others.
Il was born and brought up at Rome,
Ga. Besides being related to the presi-
dent my family and Mrs. Wilson's fam
lily have been close friends since long
before | was born. When 1 reached the
boarding school age I was sent to
Princeton because my parents wished
me to be near my cousin and his FAM
lily. Most of my holidays We're spent
with them, and l was back and forth
at my Cousins Princeton home to such
an extent that 1 felt almost IL not quite
a member of the household.
AFTER finishing school took a posi-
ton on a magazine in Chicago. When
that magazine went out of existence l
got another office position. This held
until after my cousins election to the
presidency. Then Mrs. Wilson invited
me to come and live with them at the
White House and act as her personal
secretary.
''Of course you know l am not her
official private secretary. That very
important position is filed by Miss
Hagner, who, as everybody in the coun-
try knows, acted in the same capacity
for Mrs. Roosevelt. Tho Miss Hagner's
time is fully occupied there are great
many letters which Mrs. Wilson turns
over to me. These letters are of a
more personal nature, most of them
from Mrs. Wilson's personal friends.
Many are from relatives, for you know
both the president and Mrs. Wilson
have q rather large family connection
Tho Mrs. Wilson would much pre-
fer to attend to such letters herself
answer every one of them with her
own hand, the demands on her time
make it physically impossible. Because
of this she turns them over to me as
her personal secretary"
