Women Glued to Seats In Theater.
The intenes heat caused an aWk'
ward situation at theater in Potts
vile, Pa, where thousand women,
most of them in white dresses, at
tended an operate performance.
When the play ended 200 of them
were glued to their seats, the intense
heat having melted the varn:sh on the
chairs. Many were able to get away
only after running their dresses.
Some of the women and girls as
they walked home were made the OBJ
iect of much amusement. Some of the
victims regarded the matter as joke,
while others were very indignant.
Among those who suffered was the
wife of the manager of the theater.
After trying various ways to remove
the varnish she finally succeeded with
plain soap and water. This method
has been communicated among the
victims, and many of them grasped
the suggestion and tried the same
method.
The intense heat proved fatal to
former School Director Krieg. Krieg
received a sunstroke on Monday, but
feeling better, got up and was imme
diately Frustrated again, dying soon
afterward.

U. s, AUTHORITY
ABOVE STATES
Federal Power Over Interstate
Railroads Upheld.
STATE BOARD BEATEN

Interstate Commerce Commission Is
Paramount Where There Is Conflict,
Court Rules.
The supreme court Of the United
tates upheld the interstate commerce
commissions orders in the Sirev~pcrt
rate case, thus placing interstate rail-
roads more under the commission a-.d
less under state commissions.
In holding that the rate making
powers of the interstate CONNIE -ce
commission takes precedence over the
jurisdiction of state commission in Sit
uations where the reasonableness OF
interstate rates is called into question,
the recision is believed to be one OF
the most sweeping declarations in IA
vor of the dominant authority of the
federal government that the supreme
tourt has yet made.
The interstate commerce commls-
Sion found that class and other rates
from Shreveport to Texas points were
unreasonable and ordered rates to be
equalized, so that Shreveport wo1ld
not be Disseminated against in favor
of Dallas and Houston.
Justice Hughes announced the de-
cision of the court He spoke c. 10
unrestricted power of the lnterSt t3
commerce commission over int st. te
commerce, saying the commission as
expressly created to prevent coI:t.ct-
ing state legislation.
Justice Hughes pointed out that
congress and not the states had the
power to prevent the instruments or
interstate commerce from being used
so as to injure interstate commerce.
Justice Hughes said that congress,
not the states, might prescribe the rule
when state and national interests con-
flict. "Cong gress is entitled to keep
open the highways of interstate com.
merce in the interest Of fair treat
ment to all persons" said Justice
Hughes. He indicated the government
must control rates in the interest OF
interstate commerce. Whether con.
gress reduces intrastate rates to con.
form with interstate rates, was not
material, the court said.
Referring to the noted Minnesota
rate case, Justice Hughes said that de.
cision was expressly reserved In those
cases as to what the outcome would
have been had the interstate COM
merce commission found that the Min
nesota rates Disseminated against In.
terstae commerce.
The supreme court affirmed the de-
cision of the commerce court uphold
ing the commissions orders.
The far-reaching effect of the decis'
ion lies in the fact that rates which
the interstate commerce commission
ordered indirectly increased to remove
the determinations were prescribed by
the Texas state railroad commission.
Under the federal commissions orders
the only way the railroads may escape
conflict with the Texas commission IS
o reduce the interstate rates from
llreveport to Texas cities so as to put
(e Louisiana city on competitive ba'
IS with Texas jobbing centers,

A booklet giving full information about this measure maybe had at the office of the Huttig News.

A POOR ARGUMENT.

That women are not intelligent enough to vote is one of the argu- ments advanced by those opposed to the extension of the franchise to women. Men who make such an assertion show very plainly that Intelligence is not one of their own assets. If women are not intelli- rent enough to vote they are not intelligent enough to be teachers in public schools. Ideas of govern ment held by every reader of this newspaper came to them primarily through the training they received il the public schools where a vast majority of the teachers are wo- men. If women are not intelligent enough to vote they are not intelli. gent enough to do housework, the most complex occupation in tht world. The not intelligent enough argument has been shot full O loles.
