EXTENSION OF
INVESTIGATION
OF RAILROADS
Commission Includes All Rail-
roads in tie United
States

Washington, March 15.-'rie Inter
state Commerce Commission today ex-
tended the scope Of it's investigation
into the rates and practices involved
in the transportation of fresh meats,
livestock and packing house products.
SO as to include all the railroads in the
United States.
Under the first order in the case is
sued last November the commission an
nounced its intention to investigate
rates west Of the Mississippi.
Today's order brought the roads in
the southeast and east Of the Missis-
slppl and north Of the Ohio and Po-
tomac rivers into the investigation
The investigation grew out of the
so-called western advance rate case in
which railroads asked for increases on
live stock, fresh meats and packing
house products but failed to get the
commissions approval. The present
investigation will be extensive and
thorough and the question of increa sed
rates will be decided in relation to this
one industry.

on the bank of the channel near Bug
Light on the South Portland side of the

1t will be difficult to determine the
extent of the damage before the

according to estimates it will amount
to 100000 The steamer and cargo
were valued at approximately S350.000.
The cargo, of which there is 1000 tons.
consists of 400 bales OF rags. 200 bags
Of nitrates, 200 barrels of sugar and
400 bales of cotton. besides a lot of
miscellaneous freight. The package

The steamers stern is under water,
but the bow is out and the cargo in
the forward part of the vessel probably
will be undamaged.
The fire. it was said. undoubtedly
was due to spontaneous combustion as
the matches had not been removed from
the lower hold. 1t was prevented from

GUARDING THE CHILDREN.
Widows With Offspring Should Be Sure

Sometimes the failure to make a will
involves more than loss Of time and
money. You are widow and die with
out a will leaving children who are
not yet Of age. Now. you may not care
who looks after your property. but you
do have lively interest in the person
who looks after your children. II you
had left will you could have named
therein the guardian for your children.
The court must do so, and the guard
ian appointed by it may charge COM
missions. counsel fees and premiums
payable out Of your children's share of
your estate.
Suppose you leave real estate. 1t
can't be sold without an order Of the
court. That involves long and ex-
pensive proceeding on the part Of your
administrator. If you leave minor chill
dren that still further complexities mat

Charles Hoyt wrote seventeen plays.
He would sit in the Pullman with the
shade drawn down over his head and
looking out Of the window at nothing
thinking. studying over situations for
some new play.
He would not begin work on new
play until he had its arrangement laid
out in his mind. Then he would write
it. longhand. in two or three days.
He developed his situations by tell
ing over and over and over again his
scheme for a new plaT. He would
come to me- "Otie," hs would soy,
have you heard my idea for new
play?"
would say that had not. Then he
would launch into it, celebrating as he
went along. He would see me- later In
the day perhaps. with some one. He
would come up to us with the same
question, "Otie, have you heard my
idea for a new play?" knowing mighty
we'll l had. He wouldn't wait for me to
answer, but he would tell 1t to my COM

had given me. For each new play I
probably would hear that same ques-
