PASSENGER RAILROAD FARE.

Will Ohio have to pay 5000 to
$4,000 court costs and then have 8
cent passenger railroad fare instead
of 2 or even 2h?
n is the question which is being
asked in the legislative halls as a re-
suit of a decision in the Federal Court
IN Arkansas, declaring the 2 cent
fare there c~onfscatory and ordering
a restoration of the old rate. O. J.
Thatcher, the author of the 2h cent
bill. which is still in the hands of the
committee, is pointing out to his COL
leagues that there are now two court
decisions-one from the highest court
IN the land, declaring 2 cent passen-
ger laws unconstitutional and that if
the railroads Of Ohio should elect
their case into the courts instead of
the halls of the legislature, they have
every reason in the world to expect
a successful issue.
The difference would be, he ex-
plains, that if the court declares the
present fare law unconstitutional. the
old rate will go into effect, which was
3 cents a mile, while if his measure
is reported out and adopted by the
legislature, the people would still have
a net saving of " cent per mile.
West Virginia, where the case drag
ged on for some time, has had to pay
court costs in excess of s. 1000. It
is understood that the expenses in
CURED by the state of Arkansas is
still greater.
Every day is making clear, how
ever. the fact that opposition to the
Thatcher bill is practically all ma
chine made. Throughout the state
scarcely a voice of protest has been
raised against the measure. AS COM
pared to the C~onservancy Bill, the
Honest Election Bill and other meas
ures which have had large majorties
IN the legislature, the Thatcher bill
has no opposition at all.

MOORCROFT on FIELD WYo

An investigation of the Moorcroft
oil field, IL miles north of Moorcroft,
Wyo., by V. H. Barnett of the United
States Survey, to determine, as far
as might be, the possibilities of the
field is reported in the Surveys Bull
letin 5S1-C, recently published. The
presence of oil in this field has been
known for at least a quarter of a CEN
fury, and many wells have been drilled
in the hope of developing a
cial pool, but in only seven of these
wells has oil been found in appreci-
able amounts. The amount of money
which has been invested in prospect
ing and trying to develop the Moor
croft field is perhaps $199 900 more
than has eve been realized from
sales of the oil. AS the field has been
thoroughly prospected it probably
will never have any great production.

The text follows:
1.-THE German Ambassador received
the following instructions from Ber-
lin, which he communicated to the
Department of State:
$50 far no official information avail
able concerning the sinking OF the
Arabic. The German Government
trusts that the American Government
will not take a definite stand after
hearing only the reports of n side
which, in the opinion of the Imperial
Government, cannot correspond with
the facts, but that a chance will be
given to Germany to be heard equally.
although the Imperial Govern
ment does not doubt the good faith
of the witnesses whose statements
are reported by the newspapers III
Europe, it should be borne in mind
that these statements are naturally
made under excitement, which might
easily produce wrong impressions.
"Tf Americans should actually have
lost their lives this would naturally
be contrary to our intentions. The
German Government would deeply re-
greet the fact and begs to tender sim
cerest sympathies to the American
Government"

Paris.-A British fleet of forty war

the great coast artillery is believed in
London to indicate that the Kaiser's
forces suffered severely.
The British fleet disappeared to the
