Senator | IaFOllette Presents
 Joint Resolution to Pro hibit Raise.
DECLARES I. C. c.
 ACTION NOT LEGAL
Wisconsin ScmatGr Points Out War In- ducCd Granting of Petition for In- crease: No Evidence tO Show
 Present Rates Unjust.

Washington, Jan. 11.-A joint reso- luton was offered by Senator LaFol- lette today which. if agreed to by the house, would have the force and effect of law and would absolutely prohibit the eastern railroads from putting into effect the , per cent freight rate in crease recently granted by the inter- state commerce commission.
 In long preamble, MT. L9Follette points out that the commission on De- cember 16, recognizing that war is calamity" and "that by it commerce has been disarranged and thrust into confusion," thus creating d new situ- ation since the decision of July 29, 1914, authorized the carriers to file new tariffs
 All this was done the resolution de- clares, "solely upon the grounds and for the reason that in the opinion o1 the commission the railroads are in need of money" and not, as MT. La Toilette ayers, ...upon the ground that the commission, after full invcstiga' ton, was of the opinion that the ex- isting rates were unjust and unreas enable to the carriers, nor did tht commission take, nor did the carriers offer, any testimony to show tha these existing rates were so low as tt be unjust and unreasonable A. The resolution declares that the course pursued by the carriers in this regard and the decisions and orders of the commission in not requiring testimony as to the reasonableness and business of the proposed advance in rates, were without precedent ir the history of the commission and are unwarranted by law.
 The resolution prohibits all in- creases that have been granted under the recent order of the commission except where new rates are filed anc an order is issued after full hearing on the part of all concerned, and the ruling of the commission is based upon the statutory requirements as 10 their justness and reasonableness.

Sir Edward Grey Evadel Main Question in Reply to
 U. $. Protest.
CABINET TO TAKE
 UP MATTER TODAY
Understood ill Washington That Gov. ernment Will Demand to Know What Great Blhain Proposes to
 UC t0 Prevent General Seizures.

Washington, Jan. 11.--Official opin- ion in Washington is crystallizing to the effect that Sir Edward Grey's preliminary reply to the United States notes on ships and shipping has evaded the main question, which is Great Britalns interference with and detention of ships, which arc not taken directly to a prize court.
 Dissatisfaction of some state de- partment officials with the note was widely discussed today, and tonight it can be said that the dissatisfaction is spreading.
 There was critical reading Of the note today at the state department and at the white house. Limitations are very strong that perhaps officials after the cabinet meeting tomorrow will be more willing to voice their opinions than they were yesterday or today.
 Those who have had d great caal to do with the American argument, say that these three statements will be made to Great Britain in the reply to Sir Edward Grey:
 First, the United States retiterates the right of search is not challenged by this government, but the United States demands to know by what specific method Great Britain pro- poses to prevent general seizure and detentions.
 Second, the prize court is recogniz- ed as an international institution bv the United States, but the United State objects to the present British method of conveying American ships into any British ports for the un> leading of cargoes and the indefinite detention of ship.
 Third, the relative amount of con- merce lnterfered with does not pear directly on the previous proposi tons. Discussion as to the relative amount of commerce seized or de- tained merely tends to obscure the real points at issue.

KILLS PRIZE OWL. <
Wade Dalrymple Shoots Bird Tagged
 and Released.


 Wade Dalrymple, the young son of Mrs. Kate Dalrymple of 1402 State street, early yesterday afternoon kill ed the owl released Saturday by the Coca-Cola Bottling company and for the capture of which prize of three cases of Coca-Cola or $1 cash was offered. The bird was first caught by the police after it had devoured some fancy chickens in the western part of the city. As an advertising stunt" the Coca-Cola company tagged the bird, and released it, advertising a reward in Saturdays issue of The Graphic. The owl had no chance. Nearly every kid that possessed a gun was on the lookout, and there's no way of estimating how many owls were shot since Saturday morning. But Wade's bag was the only bird that bore the Coca-Cola tag, and he received the reward.

Practical Prescription
Against Stomach Acidity

Nine-tenths Of all cases OF stomach
trouble nowadays are caused By too
much acid. In the beginning the stom-
ach itself is not diseased but AZ this
acid condition is allowed TO continue.
the acid is very likely to eat into the
stomach walls and produce stomach
ulcers which may render a radical sur
glcai operation necessary even to pro-
long life. Therefore. an acid stomach
IS really a dangerous condition and
should be treated seriously. IL is ut
terly useless TO take pepsin and ordl-
nary stomach tablets The excess acid
or stomach hyperacidity must be neu-
tralized by the administration OF an
efflcient antacid For this purpose the
best remedy is bisurated magnesia tax
