s76,000,000 SHR|NKAGE
IS CLAIM OF RAILROADS
Due to BUSINESS Depression
and European War
MORE REVENUE IS NEEDED
Counsel for the Commission AssaiIs
the Position of President Willard
of the Baltimore and OHIO,
Spokesman for Railroads.

Washington, Oct. Robustness de-
preston and the European war today
were assigned as reasons why eastern
railroads should have at least a five
per cent increase in freight rates by
representatives of the systems appear
ing before the Interstate Commerce
commission 1t was asserted that
these two conditions had led to a
shrinkage of more than $4,000, 900 in
the annual net revenues of SO eastern
roads, operating more than $4,000 miles
of railway.
Daniel E. Willard, president of the
Baltimore and Ohio and head of the
conference of presidents of the lines
involved, was the principal witness.
He was supported by mass of sta
tistics presented by Vice President
Shriver of the sane line. Further evi-
dence will be submitted tomorrow.
In opposition to the plea of the car
riers, Clifford Thorne appeared for
public service corporations of several
middle western and inter-mountain
states and also for shippers organiza-
tions in the region affected. Mr..
Thorne declared his purpose and the
desire of the shippers was that the
public's side of the question should
be fully brought out.
Louis Brandeis, counsel for the COM
mission, assailed Mr.. Willard's posi-
| ton in cross examination, calling at
| tention to the fact that the Baltimore
and Ohio treasurer had declared its
regular six per cent. dividend despite
of than =
900 in net revenues.
Mr.. Brandeis indicated the affairs of
other lines would be similarly taken
up later.
Mr. WiIlssfa said the dividend had
been maintained at per cent this
year at his recommendation. He de-
clared he believed it justified by the
fact that the road Lad $32,000,00O in
surplus and it was Eecessary to main
tain the credit of the line.
| Mr.. Brandeis took exception to the
statement of the Baltimore and Ohio
surplus He insisted that $22 100000
of the $32,OOO,OOO was represented in
the lines investment in securities OF
the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton
railroad now in the hands of a re-
|
said the purchase of that road was
not an issue in the present hearing
Mr. Brandeis asserted the state
ment of the railroads had disclosed
so far nothing originating since the
commissions recent ruling rejecting
the eastern lines previous plea for E
five Per cent advance in rates. In re,
opening the case the commission spec
ifcal1y limited it to matters arising
since that time. Mr.. Brandeis sale
the decision had forecast falling of
in revenue of $75 100000 for the periot
embraced and the companies state
ment of $76,0OO,0OO shrinkage only
served to confirm that estimate.
''The commission also forecast i'm
provement in business conditions,
said Mr. Willard, whereas there act
ual1y has been Eetrogression.'

TAG DAY
October 31st Is the Day For Popular
Subscription to The Colds
bOrO Hospital.

The annual Tag Day, in the interest
of The Go1dsboro Hospital, which is
always the last Saturday in October,
falls this year on the last day of the
month.
This is now the only popular sub
scription opportunity to the mainten-
ance fund of The Goldsboro Hospital
for the care of it's charity patients,
and it is to be hoped that the popular
purchase of Tags on that day, when
canvassers will be abroad through the
city and county towns, will be gen
erous, as the needs of the Hospital for
the care of it's charity patients are
increasing every year-every month.
and the reward for all who thus con-
tribute is as assured as anything can
be in faith, and is sustained by Holy
Writ.

HAS A STORY FOR YOU

Former Assessor Heber G. G. Rich
was in from his farm at Rich last
Saturday and said he had been study
ing the tax question in the Republi
can. He said he approved of all that
had been said and intended to read
whatever else there is coming. That
reducing the taxes" is, regardless
of politics, religion and matrimony,
the burning question down in his
neck of the woods. He doesn't care
whether notes and mortgages are
taxed or not. He isn't loaning
any money, and if the rates of in
terest go any higher it will be use
less to borrow.
Referring TO our tax articles, he
said they have already proven, like
Billy Boone's talking OWL to be
worth the money. If you want the
owl story you'll have to see Heber
G. c. Just ask for his own exper-
ience with talking owls.

L. ]. PORTER TO
THE RESCUE

Road Overseer L. ]. Porter is in
trouble this week over the publicity
he received last week on account of
what had been said the week before
about some night work alleged to
have been done last summer, making
good on the appointment to office by
the board last winter following the
fall elections of the year before.
We rushed Porter into print last
week to say that he was not the over
seer who was accused of working
nights. In the same issue of the
paper we criticised the city fathers
for buying another sprinkler to use
in day time because a man could so
easily shirk in the night. When Mr..
Porter read about that he beseeched
Mayor Westto keep just one sprink-
Ter and let him have the night job.
Mayor West read the other item to
him and had him disqualified as one
who would not work--nights.
Porter blames the editor for COM
plicating matters

JUDGE AILSHE IN
SENATORIAL RACE
Makes Formal Declaration and Says
That He Will Resign the Sup
RENE Judgeship Prior to
Primary Election

LEWISTON, IDAHO, February 9.
Chief Justice Ailshie of the state
supreme court is candidate for the
United States senate and for no other
office. He will resign from the bench
and will not be a candidate for an
other term in that office whether he
secures the senatorial nomination at
the primary election or not
The official announcement of the
chief justice is made in letter ad-
dressed to friends in this city and
Grangeville, his former home, and
was made public today. The portion
of this letter bearing on the subject is
as follows:
'"I feel that it is due my friends
and the people generally that l make
1t known whether l expect to be a
candidate to succeed myself on the
supreme bench or enter the race for
the United States senate That there
may be no misapprehension about the
matter, desire to make it plain at
this time that l will be candidate
for the senate and that when the
time arrives l will pursue such course
and make such campaign as l feel
the conditions demand. In the mean
while it is fair to the people and to
aspirants for the supreme judgeship
that they know certainly what my
real intentions are in the matter.
II have had the honor to serve The
people of Idaho almost IL years in
the supreme court, and in reaching
the determination to retire from that
office and run for the senate, 1 may
add that l believe the manhood and
womanhood of Idaho are going to
take deliberate account of the merit
and qualifications of the respective
candidates, candidly selecting that one
who most nearly approaches their
ideal of worth and fitness for that
high office. For this purpose they
should have time to consider the
standing of all candidates.
1T is also my intention to tender
my resignation as chief Justice prior
to the primary election, to be held
next September

Der from Shelley and Firth, and many
more came in from southern Idaho on

the treatment of Diseases.
Sound and Reasonable Rul

1T seems to be sound and rea-
sonable rule and well established by
the authorities that the treatment of
physician of one particular school
is to be tested by the general princi-
pies and practices of his school and
not by those of other schools, and
that physician or surgeon is bound
to exercise such reasonable care and
skill as is possessed and exercised by
physicians and surgeons generally in
good standing of the same system of
school of practice or treatment in the
locality and community of his prac-
tice, having due regard to the ad-
vanccd state of the school or science
of treatment at the time of such treat
ment.
Times o. Advanced Science
"These are times of advanced sci
ence and liberal, thought when every
person may think and act for himself.
Every community has it's multitude
of beliefs and modes of treatment of
diseases and human ailments, and
every citizen is absolutely free to
adopt, believe or employ any one he
pleases. If the results are not what
he would wish or the rest of the
community thinks they ought to be,
he can nevertheless not be hauled
into court and have his method of
treatment and his school of thought
tested by the disciples or experts of
some other school or belief. 1t would
be disastrous to an allopath to try
him by the tests of the homepath,
the osteopath, the eclectric or mental
science healer would apply and it
would likewise be dangerous to the
osteopath to require of him an abser-
vance of the rules of treatment ap-
piled by any of the others enumer-
ated. When a patient selects any one
of the many schools of treatment and
healing. to serve him, he thereby ac-
cepts and adopts the kind of treat
ment common to that school or class,
and the care, skill and diligence with
which he is treated, when questioned
in court of justice, should be tested
by the evidence of those who are
trained or skilled in that school or
class"

behalf of plaintiff as follows: 1 put
what money l had in the farm, and
that evening she and | agreed that
what money she had she would put
into stock if | would pay her back
some time. She didn't say what
time This evidence clearly indicates
that the husband borrowed the money
paid for said horses from the wife
and was to repay her.
Time Was Not Fixed
THE agreement then between the
husband and wife was that the stock
should be bought with her money and
that he would pay her back some
time, the time not being fixed. Short
ly thereafter said horses were pur-
chased and it appears that plaintiff
handed her husband a thousand
dollar bill with which to pay for such
horses and other property that he
had purchased at an auction sale.
The record also shows that he had
absolute control of said horses and
used them in the various kinds of
work that he was doing, farming and
teaming. The said Colburns had per-
formed certain labor for the husband
in threshing and other work, and he
was seeking to evade the payment of
his debt to them"

to punish M. ]. Blevins for securing
money from him under false preten-

on Blevins' making a showing that
he was soon to be joined here by his
mother, who would have $50, 900. 90
in cash. Belvins' prospect for getting
any amount in cash seems remote,

MCDONNELL MUST 7
PAY HIS BILLS
Judge Stevens Reversed i'm Interest
ing Case Appealed From
Bingham
(Boise Statesman1

AL. Mcdonnell must pay his bills
He cannot escape by claiming that his
horses belong to his wife. This is the
opinion reached by Justice Sullivan in
the supreme court, and Chief Justice
Ailshie and Justice Stewart fully con-
cur in the opinion. This interesting
opinion was handed down Tuesday in
the case of Kathryn Mcdonnell
against w. R. Jones, sheriff of Bing-
ham county, Jerry Colburn and
others.
In this case action was instituted to
restrain Sheriff Jones from selling
two horses an for damages alleged to
have been sustained by reason of the
sheriff taking possession of the
horses. The sheriff held the horses
under an execution issued to enforce
a judgment against the property of
A. j. Mcdonnell, husband of the plain
tiff. The case was tried before Judge
Stevens of the Sixth district. The
judgment was that Mrs. Mcdonnell
vast he owner of the horses and that
she was entitled to $11O damages and
for the costs of the suit. Appeal was
taken to the supreme court from this
judgment:
How Trouble Started
Mrs. Colburn and her sons, Jerry
and Abe, obtained judgments against
Mcdonnell for work done for him.
An execution was issued to enforce
the judgment and was levied by the
sheriff on the horses in dispute. The
question was then raised at to wheth-
er the horses were the separate prop
erty of Kathryn Mcdonnell or of her
husband, A. ]. Mcdonnell.
The supreme court held that the
evidence was not sufficient to sustain
the judgment of the trial court and
reversed 1t and awarded the costs to
the appellants. The story of the
horses is thus Interestingly told in
Justic Sullivan's written opinion.
Story. of the Horses
"It appears from the record that
the McDonnells had been married
about four years at the time of the
trial of this action; that the plaintiff
was engaged in conducting rooming
house in North Yakima, Wash, at the
time of the marriage and had personal
property connected with said business
of the value of about $4,000; that she
loaned to her husband sums at vari-
GUS times aggregating about $3.50,
and that such loans were repaid by
the husband on or about April, 1912,
at Butte, Mont, and that she receiv-
ed two one-thousand-dollar bills
from him in payment of said debts.
This $4,000 had been received by the
husband from a railroad company on
account of certain personal injuries
he had sustained.
They Locate in Idaho
1T appears that the plaintiff and
her husband removed from Butte,
Mont, to Aberdeen, Idaho, or near
there and the husband, A. ]. McDon-
nell, put his money into ranch, and
in regard to said matter testified on
