AUTOBUS ESCAPES
BY NARROW MARGIN
SKIDS UPON RAILROAD TRACK IN
FRONT OF THE O.-W. r. &
n. "BUG"

Roy Douglas, conductor of the Hotel
Moscow autobus, had narrow escape
today. He was hurrying to meet the
1890 Northern Pacific with A. H. Nc
MILAN of Spokane aboard At the o.
w. R. & N. crossing on Eighth street
he encountered the Bug just pulling
out from the round house in charge OF
Joe Hoehn. Douglas put on the
brakes to stop and let the bug" go by,
but his car skidded right along. When
he saw that there was certain to be a
collision he twisted his car so that
instead of hitting him squarely the
bug" hit a glancing blowing playing
smash with the fender and lights but
doing little other damage. Mr.. Nc
MILAN was somewhat scratched but
Douglas escaped with whole hide.

LATAH COUNTY DECLARES WAR
ON WHITE PLAGUE AND WILL
Do HER PART

If a prophecy based on sales already
made is worth anything, very few
Christmas letters, cards, or packages
will leave the Moscow postoffice this
year that are not adorned by the pret-
ty and significant little Red Cross anti
tuberculosis seal. At the Red Cross
bazaar yesterday the demand reached
$50 SEALS
One hundred letters will be sent over
the county today addressed to prom
inent and patriotic citizens, who it is
felt, would be glad to aid the campaign
against the white plague. These let
ters all contain enclosures of stamps
which the recipient is free to return
without even mailing expense if he
does not care to buy the seals.
Postmaster Morgareidge has court
eousIy invited the committee to con-
duct a sale in the postoffice corridors
from now until Christmas. A repre-
sentative of the committee will be in
the postoffice continuously from $50
in the morning until 6 at night, be-
ginning next Monday. December 10.
At the Chamber of Commerce meet
ing on Tuesday next, DR.. c. L. Grit

osis, have been invited to address the
chamber on recent phases of the sub
ject.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE COM
MISSIONERS PLAN TO EXPOSE
RAILWAY SCANDALS

WASHINGTON-Add power to
investigate the political activities OF
railroads is asked by the Interstate
Commerce Commission in its annual
report, submitted to congress today.
A recent decision of the supreme
court permits it to demand the exact
details of Alegal expenses operating
expenditures at direction of the pres
identu and similar accounting terms
which often cover campaign contribu-
tions, lobbying funds, etc.
Plans to Probe Scandals
The commission seeks now the right
of access to the complete correspond
ence files of all railroads. Congress
sional action is necessary. With these
powers, it is understood, the commits
sion intends thorough searching of
alleged scandals. One-that of the
Louisville & Nashville, has been an
nounced Other recommendations are:
All steel passenger trains.
Safety and operating rules of all
railroads to be standardized.
Supervision against watering OF
railroad stock.
Laws prohibiting trespass of roads
right Of way.
Would Cooperate With States
Suggestions that the interstate com
merce commission become the sole
regulating body in the country, taking
over the powers of 48 separate state
proposal of cooperation.
Transportation conditions have
been abnormal said the commission.
sbut the essential needs of the coun-
try have been taken care of.
Owing to the demand on car and
locomotive plants for war work, 1t is
impossible for them to do much more
than replace equipment worn out in
service in the United States. 1t is ap-
parent the solution of the car prob
lem lies in the maximum of service
from those already existing
Physical Value of Roads
The COMMISSION SSllludlcS IL WI
of learning the actual physical values
of roads will be finished by 1920. This
task has been undertaken at the behest
of payment to the railroads. No other
reference to government ownership,
direct or indirect, was made.
The country, the report declared.
was fortunate to enter the war in
spring. Had the tremendous volume
of added traffic come in the fall or
winter season., congested seasons at
best. preparations would have been de-
layed far more than they were.
Roads Greatly Improved
Due to increased inspection, it is
declared the railroads have greatly |
their accounting methods,
so that "any unwholesome finance, ar
tificial returns or rate manipulatlons"
are more difficult to accomplish.
Only 10000 miles of new roads have
been built in the last five years.
Freight rates have been reduced from
S .0O75 a ton-mile in the same period
to $.O071.
In "a collisions and 26 derailments,

174 were killed and S27 were injured
the best record in recent years. A
great majority of the collisions occur
red on roads not protected by the block
system. Eight were due to failure of
engineer to heed signals.

At Popular Price

At Popular Price
The original plan was to charge 81
a seat for this concert, but at a meet
ing of the committee last evening 1T
was determined to popularize the en-
tertainment and put the admissioD fee
at so cents. 1t was concluded that it
would be better to have an audience
of 1000 at so cents than 500 at 81 and
that this would give the whole COM
munity an oportunity to hear these
musicians who come SO highly recon-
mended.
Students Sell Tickets
University and High school students
re out selling tickets today. They will
aim to call upon every citizen. None
but the regular season tickets will be
reserved. All others will be general
admission.
Praise From Critics
Samoloff was formerly a member OF
the Philadelphia-Chica Grand Opera
company Critics praise his singing
most highly.
.Samoloff's voice is more nearly
like Caruso's than any heretofore
heard in this city, said the New York
World
"a brilliant and beautiful voice OF
splendid range and volume" reports
the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
"a tenor voice of unusual richness
and color, with great range and, pow

Three Lady Artists
Bertha Farmer, prima donna, So
prano, to be heard here with SamoloH,
began her operate career with the
Tivoli Opera company of San Fran
cisco, at the age of II, making her de-
but in the same theater in which Alice
Nelson and Tetrazinni made their
bows to the public. Since then her
rise in the muscial world has been rap

engagement prior to going on concert
