cURRAN BODY STARTS OUT ON
MATERNITY HOMES


Maternity homes was the first sub
ject taken up by the Curran Com
mission when they resumed their
probe of charities, hospitals and baby
traficking today.
Evidence showing that illegitimate
babies were taken from their moth
ers and sold to families was intro
duced.
Dr.. C. S.. Wood of the Union Park
Maternity Home was. the first wit
ness called today. He appeared to-
think it was all right to traffic in
babies, particularly if you could find
people decent" enough to take illegi-
innate children. He seemed to see a
vast difference between illegitimate
children and their more fortunate
brothers and sisters.
Wood also keeps a small memo as
to the whereabouts of the children
he farmed out.
The commission, through its in
vestigators, F. E. Erickson and Frank
Jacobson, found the following wrongs
with Wood
Baby reported farmed to Mr.. and
Mrs. John Terwilliger, 2059 Sheffield
avenue, which is vacant lot.
Baby reported farmed to Mr.. and
Mrs. John Collins, 4915 Justine street,
who never lived there
There were numerous cases of this
kind where Wood had apparently
made false reports.
He appeared somewhat foundered
when Chairman Thomas Gurran ask
ed him if he kept any reports at all.
In one case at his place it was
found that a young unmarried moth
er had paid him first 5000, then $50
and lastly $3.50 to dispose of her
baby. And then the baby was given
away when it was only one day old.

COLLISION IN AIR
COSTS Nine LIVES
Aerop|ane Rams Airship During
Army Maneuyers.

Vienna, June 21.-For the first time
in history an aeroplane rammed an
airship, resulting in nine deaths and
the destruction Of both aircraft.
The great Austrian military dirigi-
BILE, the Parsival, 200 feet high. was
rammed amidship by a military aero
plane. The dirigible caught fire and
collapsed with it's sever doomed oc-
cupants. The aeroplane crashed to
earth, killing both pilot and observer.
The accident happened above the
aviation field just outside Vienna. A
great flame of fire burst almost in
stant!y from the airship and the two
craft fell, a long ribbon Of flames
streaming out behind.
Among the killed was Captain Won
B~laschke, perhaps the most prominent
airman in Austria.
Some accident to the steering gear
OF the %aeroplane apparently caused
the accident. Four ~lieutenants, two
mechanicians and two assistants
Were among the victims.

VOLUNTEER FIREMEN MEET
Convention at Lisbon Proves One of
the Best Ever Held.

North Dakota's volunteer tiremen
met in annual convention at Lisbon.
1t has been of the best attended
and most interesting conventions in
the history of the state. With dele
gates from nearly every one of the
167 towns belonging to the North Da-
Rota Firemen's association in attend
ance there has been ample opportun-
ity for discussion Of fire prevention
and fire fighting as it must be met by
the volunteer firemen.
In this state every town or city
which has a volunteer fire company
composed Of at least fifteen members,
and which has in actual use at least
one steam or hand fire engine, or
hook and ladder truck, or hose cart,
and which town is a member of the
North Dakota Firemen's association,
may receive from the state as aid in
keeping up it's fire department a sum
equal to 2 per cent of the total amount
of premiums paid for fire insurance
in that town. &
Fire prevention and fire protection
are being given attention, it may be
understood; when one considers that
in 1890 only sixteen towns were mem.
bers of the state association, while
in 1914 no less than 167 towns were

declared that he and the duchess

Further BIoodshed.

NIAGARA Falls, Ont, Jane 23.-The
United States government has invit-

rama and General Huerta to meet at
an informal conference here with the
hope ui bringing about the p~acihcation
OF Mexico.
The Huerta delegates informed the
American delegates through the
mediators that they We're willing to
deal with the Constitutionagists in
this way.
The appeal, which is said to have
influenced both factions, is that the
Mexicans themselves must save their
country from further spoilation and
%bloodshed by each making certain
sacrifices, but neither side will be
asked to abandon the principles for
which they have been ~contending. 1t
will be several days before the Con-
stitutionalist delegates can arrive.
In the meantime the mediators and
Huerta and American delegates will
continue their discussion of other
points in the general peace plan,
The determination seems to be to
leave the question of a provisional
president to the two Mexican factions
to decide.
The advantage Of the new plan, it is
said, is that the conferences will be
continued while the situation in
Northern Mexico is developing

Federal Supreme Court SuS-
tainS Commerce Commission.
HAS RIGHT TO FIX TARIFFS
highest Tribunal Also Declares Valid
Long and Short Haul Clause of
lnterstate Commerce Law.

Washington, June 23.-The inter
state commissions so
called ~intermountain rate orders we're
sustained as valid by the supreme
court, which held, at the same time,
that the long and short haul clause
of the interstate m law is con
stitutional. Both had been attacked
by the transcontinental railroads.
The defunct commerce court, pass
ing owe the constitutional question,
had %annulled the orders on the round
hhat the commission had no author
ity to issue blanket or zone" or
ders and might act only on the rea-
sonableness Of specific rates.
The effect of the intermountain
rate orders is that such Western
cities as Reno, Spokane and Phoenix
will be forced to pay upon their
freight from the East the regular rate
through to the Pacific coast and then
also another rate from the Pacific
back to their stations, because the

borne traffic around Cape Horn or
through the Panama canal.
How Lines Can Charge.
They will pay, however, certain in
creaSeS over the normal rates from
certain zones Thus the railroads
may charge no more than the regu-
lar rate on shipments originating in
the territory west OF a vertical line
drawn through st. Paul.
They, however. may charge an in
crease of Z per cent on those originat-
ing between ST. Paul and Chicago;
not more than Is per cent on those
tetween Chicago and Pittsburg and
cot more than % per cent on those
between Pittsburg and the Atlantic
seaboard.
Those increases the commission
prescribed as reasonable because of
the condition of the water competi-
ton.
AS a result of the decision all ques-
ton is removed as to the right of the
commission, not only to pass on the
reasonableness of a lower rate for a
haul to a more distant city than to
a nearer one in the same direction,
but to fix how much the difference
may be.
Can Fix Rates by Zones.
1t recognizes the power of the COM
mission to fix such rates by zones, as
distinguished from taking up the con
ditions surrounding each point of
shipment in the United States.
Chief Justice White announced the
unanimous decision of the court. He
said the case turned largely upon the
construction and validity of the long
and short haul clause in the fourth
section of the interstate commerce
act as amended in 1910.
His conclusion was that the amend
ment in 1910 transferred from the
railroads to the commission the
power hitherto reposed by congress in
the railroads to determine what ex-
emptions should be made from the
general prohibition against charging
less for a long haul than for a short
haul. He said if it was valid for con-
sress to allow the railroads to exer-
else the power it was valid for con-
gress to let the commission IKE
else it.
