ONE HELLO WRECKS
TWO MOVIE CAREERS
Film Struck Girls Want to Go
Back Home After Bold
Stranger Greets Them.

Two frightened fifteen-year-old girls,
driven by the tedium Of packing cakes
in Baltimore biscuit factory to seek
careers as movie stars in New York,
sat in the rooms of the Children's So
ciety yesterday waiting for their par
ents to send for them. Their ambition
to make perilous descents from flam-
ing balloons had been quenched.
After running away from their homes
in Baltimore all went we'll until the
youngsters were accosted by & man
as they stood outside Chatham Square
moving picture theatre absorbed in the
lurid posters. They ran to Patrolman
Cowan on Canal Street and begged for
protection. In the Children's Court
Justice Ryan learned their names
Bessie Lissy and Lillian Koska-and
after hearing their story turned them
over to the society.
I'VE came to New York to try to get
a job like Pearl White has. and be
able to ride in automobiles and aero
planes and rot have to be bossed by
,
too neatly dressed for e biscuit fac
tory from her green crepe dc chine
waist to the black tips Of her white
shoes. when anything went wrong
Mrs. Mirabelsky-she's the forelady-
used to cuss us awful, didn't she, Lii
liam?
Honest, I couldnt'a' stood it an
other day" Bessie continued 1--WE
thought up here we wouldn't have to
be ordered hound any more, but New
York is so big we didn't know where
to go Then we had only Sl.30 left
we were scared, and it was a-a-wful."
And Bessie shook with sobs.
Il wouldn't even mind going back
to the factory, would you, Lillian"
"Ill do anything my mother wants
me to, if she'll only let me go back"
Lillian said.
Would you like to go into the
movies now" they were asked.
I'VE want to 60 home" was their
answer in unison.

Anthracite Roads Raped
in Decision of Com
MERGE Commission.
BIG REDUCTIONS TO
TIDEWATER MADE
Present Charges Are Called I'm
reasonable and Concessions to
Allied Companies Unlawful.
from Tho Trbun. Bureau. ]

Washington, Aug. ia cut OF ap-
proximately s10,000,000 a year was
made in the revenues OF the anthra-
cite carrying roads to-day by the Inter
state Commerce Commission, which de-
clared the rates from the Pennsyl-
vania coal fields to be unreasonable and
ordered them reduced at once. Most
of the reductions are from 10 to 10
cents a ton and will affect shipments
of more than 100000 tons of coal
annually.
Some of the cuts are as high as 20
cents a ton, "a in the case of the Della
ware, Lackawanna e. Western rate to
Binghamton, N. Y, which is reduced
from S1.65 to 80 cents on prepared
sizes. Other big decreases were to
Washington, n. j., from $3.50 TO 30
cents for prepared sizes and from SLAB
10 So cents for smaller sizes; to Utica,
from 50 to S150 for the prepared and
from Sl.75 to Sl.31 for the smaller; to
Windsor, n. Y, from s1.65 to 50 cents
for the prepared and from Sl.4O 10 "
cents for the smaller. The rate TO
Jersey City and Hoboken is reduced
from Sl.60 TO Sl.45 on prepared sizes
and from Sl45 to $l.35 on small er sizes.
A severe arraignment of the rela-
tions between "allied coal companies
and the coal carrying roads was con-
tanned in the commissions decision:
This declared that the concessions and
offsets granted by the railroads to their
allied coal companies in the form OF
interest charges, royalty earnings, use
Of valuable property at inadequate
rentals, free use of carriers funds and
credit, or by other means, are "as per
ncious as direct cash rebates. such
concessions and offsets are unlawful
Called Unlawful Rebates.
Lateral allowances paid to coal ship
pers in accordance with agreements
alleged to be additional compensation
for the use Of facility furnished by
the shippers, also were declared 70 be
unlawful rebates.
The commission summarized its or
ders as follows:
Rates on anthracite coal, prepared
and pea and smaller sizes, in carloads,
applicable from producing districts in
the Wyoming, Lehigh and Schuylkill
regions in Pennsylvania to tidewater
ports and certain Eastern and other
interior points are unreasonable, and
reasonable rates are fixed for the fut-
ure.

age arrangements and the free trans
portation 10 junction points in the min

Mr.. Warren was to-day made acting
sergeant Of Company +. Yesterday he
was informed that Governor Whitman
had appointed him reserve lieutenant
colonel of the national guard. He now
is commander of the Veteran Corps OF
Artillery.
This was the least pleasant of Mayor
Mitchel's days in camp. On top of the
news that burglars had stolen some of
Mrs. Mitchel's things in New York came
the information that his mothers home
had been broken into. Mr.. Mitchell may
have had other reasons for being
trife out of sorts to-day, for his man
ner was not as it has been. This even
ing he was told that the Board of Esti-
mate was going to demand his presence
and that of Borough President Marks,
who is in San Francisco, in New York
next Thursday.
1t is probable that unless the occa-
sion for his return is of the highest
Importance he will refuse to 60 back
TO New York until the four weeks of
encampment are over.
Mr. Mitchell had three hours of vigor-
Gus drilling between early morning and
lunch.
After the midday meal he went out
with the First Cavalry detachment for
one hour and half He got through
the wearing exercises without an out
ward sign Of fatigue.
The Mayor went swimming again
this afternoon. He stood for a few
minutes on the float and watched sew
eral men dive into four feet of water.
Then ne dropped from the float.
Mayor Sights Rife.
Fully 90 per cent of the men here have
not done as much physical work in a
week as they are called on to do every
day. At the end Of the rifle and caval
~ drill to-day it was believed that the
day was practically done. The Mayor
and W. B. Meloney, walking back to
their tent, started to discuss what
Captain Kelly disturbed in this by or
dering them to 60 TO the end Of the
company street and take instruction

Dudley Field Malone was made act
ing corporal of squad in Company G
to-day. Mr.. Malone has selected map
sketching as one of the courses of spe-

promoted to be a sergeant in Company

Battalion of the New York Fire De-
partment and the only fireman in camp,
became squad leader.

Assistant District Attorneys Joseph j.

Alfred Reginald Allen of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania, who is tent
mate Of Mayor Mitchell, was assigned
to-day to the medical corps.
The highest possible positions IN
Company f were given to-day TO two
New York policemen. Lieutenant

farmer, was shot and killed, and

with the killing, that occurred in the
lower section of the county Friday
mornig, the scene of the homicide be-
ing the home of Fickling Sharpe.
From the evidence adduced at the in
quest, which was conducted by Coro-
ner Weed, it seems that Goodwin was
under the influence of whiskey; that
ne went to the home of Sharpe, where
Rish was, ,and trouble between the men
arose, resulting in Rish leaving the
house, followed by Goodwin, and that
the two men had some words. 1t is
said that Goodwin caught hold of Rish
and, it is claimed, attempted to strike
him. Rish, it is said, begged Goodwin
to "let him alone" and, according to
an eyewitness the pistol fired, Good
win reeled and went back on the porch
of the Sharpe home. He died short
while afterwards.
Immediately after the shooting Rish
started for Lexington 10 give himself
up to the sheriff, who met him On the
way. Goodwin and Rish were by,th-
ers-in-law. Goodwin was about so
years of age. He leaves a wife and
several children. Rish is also r-arricd
and has several children. He is said
to be about 35 years of age. He has
employed Senator w. ii. Sharpe to
look after his defense, it is under
stood.
