Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Files Partial Report
To Senate.

Washington. D. c., July 10.-The
Louisville & Nashville and the Nash
vile, Chattanooga & st. Louis rail-
reads, operating principally in Ten
nessee and Kentucky, gave away
free transportation to the amount of
1l,711,S72 miles during the year
1913, according to a report submit
ted to the senate by the interstate
commerce commission A vast ma
jority of this free transportation was
furnished to members of legislative
bodies, including United States SEN
ators, congressman and state legis-
lures.
Other state and federal officers,
however, including judges of state
and federal courts, sheriffs, city
and county officials. received a
wholesome share Of the free trans
portation. This evidence marks the
first disclosure under the Lea reso-
luton.
Lists of pass holders in the various
classes have been complied b. the
commissions, but have not been made
public.
This investigation hf s bsen so fruit
full of results that a general investi-
cation of the free pass evil has been
instituted by the interstate COM
merce commission.
The report has created a profound
sensation in Washington. More than
"a, 900 passes, valued at more than
$34D, 900, were shown to have been
issued last year to individuals, rang
ing from a United States senator,
whose pass showed no milage travel
ed. to county sheriffs and local poll
ticians.
The commission sharply criticised
the lack of morality revealed by
these facts" as a menace to the insti-
tutions of a free people, and an
nounced its intention to issue an or
der dealing with the situation.

the Manager

Mr.. Metcalfe established the busi
ness 20 years ago and under his en-
ergetic direction it has grown too
big for one NAL, even hustler Ii 'e
he is, to handle. The greenhouse
business run in connection with the
laundry has developed so rapidly that
it requires all of Mr.. Metcalfe's time
and this is the reason given for the
change in the laundry. His green
houses here and in Madisonville,
GAINESVILLE, Jackson and Union City
will be still further developed, now
that Mr.. Metcalfe has more time to
devote to them. 1t is al under
stood that Mr.. Metcalfe will invest in
an addition to the Avalon the capital
withdrawn from the laundry plant
by the partial sale, thus insuring an

The Next Congressman.

The candidates for Congress will
begin a series of joint debates in this
county next Monday, at Crofton in the
afternoon and will meet here Mon
day night. The appointments were
made by Judge Henson and a division
of time accepted by Mr.. Kincheloe.
They have held joint discussions in
o her counties and there will be no
unseemly wrangling, though there
will be no lack of interest in the
speeches. Judge Henson comes into
the county a comparative stranger,
with a reputation more as a judge
than as an orator. On the other
hand. Mr.. Kincheloeis we'll and.wide-
" known as an accomplished orator,
who has frequently delivered adj
dresses of one kind and another in
the county, He undoubtedly has a
distinct advantage as the campaign
opens, though the outcome in Chris
tian county will largely depend upon
the speeches to be made next week.
Judge Henson is a nephew OF Mr..
M. v. Owen, Of Church Hill. Mr..
Kincheloe has no relatives in the
county, but his friends are numer-

In seeking results baseball management Is as
ruthless a war, and it's plans are laid down
as coldIy as a general staff puts pins in maps.
Yet the news comes shock to the patrons OF
baseball that Connie Mack, the manager OF the
Philadelphia Athletics. has put Bender. Plank
and Coombs in one bundle and asked for waivers
on them.
There have been greater pitchers than any OF
the three, but other baseball club ever had
three at one time who could equal the total
strength of these men. Even after Illness tenn
porartfy removed Coombs' usefulness. Bender
and Plank were combination appalling to the
American League. Those who saw the worlds
series games of last year know how the Giants
dreaded the pair.

deed Is plain 1t liz the reason the Bostons beat
the Athletics last month-youth must be served

Editor VirEinian:

EdttOC NlrElntans
sir,---In a recent issue OF your paper ar
tcle from the Baltimore American on the above
subject printed and as the criticisms of
the two jurors in said article who would not
give their consent To verdict OF not guilty
in the seerns to me to be unjust and harsh
ask space In your columns to submit few
lines in their defense.
II these two Jurors believed that Mrs car
guilty OF the murder of Mrs. Bailey
how could they honest, fair and truthful
men. act otherwise than they did? If they
believed that the accused guilty OF the
crime with which she was charged would they
not have stultihed themselves to have consented
to verdict which said she was guiltless?
IT seens to this writer that these two jurors
acted conscientiously and bravely in the posi-
ton they took and we think the conduct of the
other Jurors in trying to intimidate and brow
beat them into an agreement with their views
most reprehensihle Mrs Carman may
be innocent OK tire grave charge made against
her. although so far the public knows, as
she admitted she was Jealous of her husband
She IL the only living person who had motive
TO prompt the terrible deed. 1t is true that
the serious charge In this was not proven
but / believe the two men acted conscientiously
in the course they took IN the matter We really
think that In this great country OF ours where
the Jury system is In vogue, great
need Of jurors Of the ilk these
RIO sit in i'm portRnt cases in which human life
is al stake and render a verdict OF guilty or
not guilty Is to assume grave responsibility
indeed. There ought 10 be moral and educa-
tional test for all who act jurors and all
who act in this capacity should be required to
measure up to II or not be permitted to serve.
We need reform in the matter of selecting ju-
ries that be manipulated by certain par
ties who have pull and we ought to get out Of
the habit of selecting deadbeats and worthless
persons who are looking for Job that will
pay them q few dollars
