PARIS, February L., 1914.

PARIS, February L. 1914.
President Poincare has now completed
a year as chief executive Of the French
republic. He has gained for himself the
reputation Of the most active man in
France and increased the popularity he
so suddenly acquired tenfold.
Breaking away from the traditional
tramMels of etiquette. President Poincare
has sought to associate himself with
every class of French thought and en-
deavor. He has presided at hundreds of
public bauquets, not only of the political
and philanthropic organizations. but also
of the leading artistic, literary and the
atrical associations
He has visited all the principal theaters
In Paris several times over, has attend
ed many concerts and, whenever hts en-
gagemeUts- permitted. has attented the
regular sessions of the French Academy
Df which he is a member.
In addition 10 official visits to Spain and
England. he has visited every part of
France. going. by automobile to many
remote villages, where president had
never been seen before. His unfailing
tact. the remarkable skill with which ne
can be affable without compromising the
high dignity Of his position has gained
for him the affection, and for his office,
the respect of tens of thousands of
t'renchmen, particularly of that class
which keeps afoof from politics. Presi-
dent PoincaEcS personality does not lend
itself to ridicule. and his accession to the
presidency has deprived the satirieal song
writer's of one OF their most fruitful
sources Of inS Diration.

RESUMES PROBE
Of FREE SERVICE
Commerce Commission Seeks
All Phases of Expensive
Railroad Customs.

Further inquiry was begun by the inter-
state commerce commission today into
the question OF so-called free services
by railroads. including sporting cars
for loading and unloading on private spur
and side-tracks, ferry car service and
tunnel and lighterage services. -..
In eastern classification territory. where
lie proposed advance of 8 per cent in
.iilroad freight rates is proposed to be
applied there are approximately 5000
spur tracks and sidings. 1t is the desire
uf the commission. through the hearings
rcsumed today. TO determine two things:
First the propticty of 4 charge by the
railroads. in addition to the regular
freight rate to "A given destination. for the
spottinS and ferry car service; and Sec
ond. the amount Of the charge and the
manner in which it should be assessed.
Service Is Costly.
Witnesses before the commission have
asserted that free service performed
by the railroads for certain large ship
pers is so costly that II the practice were
eliminated 1t would substantially affect
The revenues OF the roads and possibly
make unnecessary an increase in freight
rates.
The Importance of and interest in the
proceedings attracted to the hearing room
OF the commission several hundred rail-
road officials and shippers. Both railroad
and shipping interests of Chicago, De
iroit, Indianapolis. Cincinnati, Pittsburgh,
I:uffalo and other cities were represented.
The information sought by the commits
sion related to the spur track conditions
III the cities named. as it was regarded
fairly assumable that they were typi-
cal. Through its examiners the commits
sion is making an investigation into the
Conditions in smaller cities and towns.
Another Phase of Question.
No testimony is being taken affecting
the railroads services to and from and
within industrial plants. That is another
phase of the advance rate question which
is being dealt with separately. Throughout
the eastern territory. however, the spot
ting of cars is being performed by the
railroads for coal yards, lumber yards, ele-
vators, warehouses and factories by plac-
ing cars for loading and unloading at
particular points on the private spur
tracks leading to them, III accordance
with the requirements of the shippers.
In some instances the charge for this
service is absorbed in the rates. while in
others the charge is in addition TO the
Iate according to the circums tanccs and
IN the view of the commission, that a uni
form practice should prevail.
Suggested Charges.
As to the amount to be charged for the
service. the suggestions ranged in the
testimony, from 30 cents to $50 a car,
the charge varying with the conditions of
the service and the difficulty of operation.
On this point the commission sought in
formation assiduously.
Oral arguments OH the question Of
sporting cars Will be heard by the com
mission March 16 and II. and II is ex-
pected ,that a decision may be rendered
probably by April l or soon thereafter.

:. number Of married ladies were at
luncheon. and the hostess proposed
that each give an account OF how 1t
came about that she married her hus.

She had met the man she hurried at
a dinner party. They were sitting
side by side. and he upset a glass OF
red wine over a white silk dress she
wore for the first time. At the mo.
ment of the accident she was recount
ing an incident. and simply applying
her napkin to the saturated spot she
went on with her recital MS though
nothing had happened. The a who
realized that he had ruined the dress
and could not with propriety offer tt
replace it. was so much pleased with
her consideration for his feelings that
he finally asked her to marry him.
The next narration was that Of q
