The craze for Investigation, which
some time ago reached and passeu
the height of its climax in Washing
ton. appears to be dying OF its own
senseless weight. This is being forcl-
bly, made evident in one of many ms
sstanees by the enormous amount OF
work and respons ibility that has been
piled upon the overworked Interstate
Commerce Commission by the pres
ent Democratic Congress.
The commission is literally swamp
or with important work, and still
Congress continues to pile on new
tasks. Here is the impressive list OF
Investigations now pending before
the commission:
A physical valuation of all the rail-
roads of the United States.
An, investigation into the telegraph
and telephone companies.
An investigation into the rates,
rules, regulations and practices
throughout the United States in con-
nection with the transportation of
iron and steel and cement.
"a refnVestigat of all the tap
lines in the united States.
An investigation OF a preposed
bond issue by the New York Central
railroad; this investigation involving
a reissue of S167 100000 of bonds
and one Of the most impcrtant rail-
road consultations In recent yearS% !
An investigation of all the private
car line companies in the Unitea
States. R
An Investigation of the Louisvill e
and Nashville railroad as the result
of the failure of this company to pros
Sduce certain books and papers.

St8fes steel Corporation and the car

= With all this extra work piled on
the commission in addition to its reg
ular duties there is little wonder that
some members of Congress are begin
ming to argue that halt ought to be
called. Also, it is natural that many
constituents are wondering why con-
igressmen do not go about much Of
the work in Congress as they are sup-
nosed to do instead of shifting the

Haddaway was showing an assistant
how to operate the light plant and
was pumping up the compressor. He
instructed the helper that ten pounds
pressure was all that was needed but
added that he had frequently put it up
to sixty pounds. giving the impression
that as long as the machine had not
blown up he felt secure in forcing 4
high pressure on the machine. Hadda-
way had hardly finished speaking
when the thing blew up with terrific
force. 1t was before the hour for the
exhibition and there was no one about.
The helper was blown out of the build
ing and rendered unconscious but was
only injured for moment. Passersby
heard the explosion and entered the
building and found Haddaway lying in
pool of blood. Holes were made in
the floor of the room and in the walls
and ceiling by the force of the eNplos
ion. Haddaway is married and has a
