+ = Ripley, president Of the Atch-
son Topeka 4 Santa Fc said today

Our lawyers" said Mr Ripley. in
formally and individually have ex-
pressed the opinion that the Ndamson
bill II passed will crumhlc at the
first legal blast II tho bill passes.
the presidents and counsel will confer
formally a> to legal procedure 1t is
( illogical to assume that the railroads

grcSS instead of directly by the broth
! erhoodS'
r II Ashton, president ot W Chi
cago & Northwestern, ,ald that the
railroads will Obey the law
Not Equal to Tests.
But he added 1T seem, certain
to us that the AdamSon bill it passed,
will not stand the test OF the courts.
Obviously IT congress could compel US
to pay a certain scale Of wages for
eight hours work, it could compel US
to pay the same scale for SlN hours,
/ or four hours

studying the hieroglyphs the authof
explains that in Maya Inscriptions tne
elyphs are usually arranged In parat
lei columns and read two columns al o
time from left TO right at the top.
Some inscriptions. however, occur IN
horizontal bands, In which case tnes
are read from left to right, taxing
two glyphs at time. Unlike the Esyp-
tians. the Maya complicated tneH
writing by varying aud augmentne
their elemental forms until com
plete symmetrical picture, filling the
whole allotted space, was evolved ror
this reason there appear to be many
forms with the same meaning. which
have to be analysed for their essential
characteristics. In some cases two en-
tirely different forms represent the
same thing, and again the writer's IN
dividual peculiarities in style caused
variations which are puzzling 70 the
student. Careless drawing and even
the material employed also caused va
riations and difficulties, which, togeth'
or with those mentioned, have led the
author TO use another form OF CLASH
fication than by appearances alone
He advocates an arrangement INTO
two groups, the first consisting OF the
glypbs used In counting. and the sec
ond. those having an explanatory
meaning. Most Of the giyphs whose
meanings have been determined faii
within the first group, though the
names Of the principal gods, the signs
