Mystery Of Passenger Rate Making.

When the lay mind sets out on a journey
through the labyrinth OF railroad tariffs, II
soon succumbs to the mystifylng influence OF
the tangle. and on recovery is willing to admit
that the science OF rate-making surpasses any
other known form Of hocus pocus Just a few
days ago, the railroads of the west were plead
Ing before the Interstate Commerce commission
for authority to raise passenger rates. At the
same time, the Missouri Pacific was before the
federal court in Omaha asking for an order to
restrain the state board from enforcing the
2-cent rate. In each case the plea was that the
rate permitted was not remunerative, and in
each case relief asked for was granted. Now
comes the announcement that the Missouri Pa
cific has reduced interstate rates between
Omaha and Kansas City! It's line connecting
these two cities runs through the 2-cent zone OF
Nebraska and Kansas The public will not re-

JAPAN WILL SEND
SWORD TO VERDUN
French Soldiers Bravery Will
Be Commemorated by En-
peror of Yellow People.
ARTISTS TO MODEL GIFT

| Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
Toxic, Nov. 1.-The heroism OF
Verdun will be commemorated by the
emperor of Japan. who will send to
the French city Japanese sword
wrought by the leading swordsmith
of the nation.
The sword is of the kind known as
"Efu-no-tachi," used by the warriors
of ancient Japan solely on the battle
field and is accordingly thought an
ideal gift for honoring the martial
spirit and bravery of Verdun.
The swordsmth Is Yagoro Gassan
of Osaka, believed the best of the con-
temporary experts of the art in Japan,
1t was he who fashioned the sword
worn by the emperor on the occasion
of the coronation or conservation GER
emory in Kioto last year. The sword
guard and other accessories will be
made of pure gold with raised work
representing flowers, vines and other
figures. On the upper part of the hilt
the imperial crest of the crysanthe-
mum in gold is to be mounted on
both sides. The sheath will be made
of wood, its outer part being covered
with mother-of-pearl and mounted
with gold lacquer designs. The sheath
and hilt are to be sculptured by mas
ter artists, while the sword-guard and
other metal accessories will be pro-
duced by well-known goldsmiths.
The sword is expected to be ready
about the spring Of next year, when
it will be presented to the city of
Verdun through President Poincare
incidentally the Japanese depart
ment of education had begun the dis
tribution of essays concerning hero
ism of Verdun and other European
battlefelds. The underlying idea is
that the rising generation is too prone
to think that Japanese valor and pa
triotsm is the greatest, if not the only
real patriotism in the world. To
broaden the minds of the young on
this subject and give them a truer
conception of world courage, educa-
tional leaders are daily presenting the
deeds of valor of Europe.

Correspondence Of The Associated Press)
Christiania, Nov. 1.-The shortage
of available dwelling houses with still
more serious prospects for the winter,
is reported from various places in
Norway. In certain districts city au-
thorities have resorted to extreme
measures to provide shelter for those
unable to find houses. The city coun-
Gil of Bergen has begun to expropri-
ate unoccupied houses, but the num-
Der of these is inadequate. The alder
men of Trondhjem have requested au-
thorization to appropriate not only
vacant houses, but also clubrooms and
similar localities. The Christiania au-
thorities are considering the expro-
priation and use as dwellings of tav-
ems and even places devoted to re-
ligious gatherings.

Dead Americans
Now Being Paid For

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.)
Panama, Nov. l0.-A bill in the
National Assembly of Panama to pay
$l2,350, gold, to the estate of Ralph
W.. Davis of Los Angeles, killed in a
riot on July 4, 1912, when Panama po-
lice fired their rifles on unarmed
Americans, and to settle other claims
of Americans wounded at the time,
will apparently settle, after four years,
what has been touchy matter be-
tween Americans and Panamans. In
dignation ran high among the Ameri-
cans on the canal zone, at the time OF
the tragedy, and this was not palliated
by the failure of the Panama authori-
ties to press Investigation and take &C
ton against the guilty parties. The
belief has been widespread that the
assault on the Americans found sub
surface favor among the Panamans,
and the delays in getting action by
pressure from the United States
caused many expressions of disgust
and lack of faith in the governments
inclination to protect Americans.
1t was in the investigation of this
case that Judge Damosthenes Arose
mena of the criminal court delivered
an opinion, which was an harangue
against Americans and their soldiers,
and found that one of the Panama po-
lice was at fault This one had been
dead month at the time the opinion
was delivered. This action on the
part of Judge Arosemena was one of
the circumstances prompting the
American minister to protest recently
against his appointment as attorney
general.
By persistence the American minis
ter caused the Panama government to
admit the fault of its police and to
promise indemnity. 1t demanded, how
