EXTEND CLAUSE
Commerce Commission Recommends
a Hepburn Commodity Clause Be
Made TO Include All Traffic.

WASHINGTON, July 20.-Urring
that the line OF demarkation between
great railroad interests M private
business enterprises. particularly
those relating TO the coal industry, be
more clearly drawn. the Interstate
commerce commission today recon-
mendcd TO congress that the commo-
dities clause OF the Hepburn law he
extended 70 embrace all traffic. This
now declares IL unlawful for
a railroad TO transport any article 9th
er ina timber and coal in which IL
may have any interest. except such
articles necessary for its use as a
common carrier.
The commissions report was based
on its Investigation into the transpor.
tation OF coal and oil. ordered by Con.
tress nearly years ago.
Are Two Profits.
The report asserted that a potent
evil arising from the mutual interests
OF carriers and coal companies lies in
the TACT that. inasmuch as there are
IN reality two profits. one in the sale
and the other In the ransportatiOn
OF the coal, the profit in the freight
rate becomes an added factor In the
tncss. ~
The report includes a long list Of

and patrolled the district, but could
ind no trace of the incendiary. Al

After the blaze had been extin.
guished by a ncighbor and the excite

happened to cast her eyes toward the

was about II o'clock. When she

and no doubt he was the perpetrator
OF the deed.
