CORPORATIONS KICK
 AT FREIGHT RATES
 OF CONNECTICUT co.

Saying that lthe increase recently made in the, freight rates and express charges by the Connecticut Co: is "ex- cessive and unreasonable and unwar- ranted," six leading business corpora tions in Hartford and 1 5 big New Ha- ven corporations yesterday appealed to the public utilities commission and, as a result, the commis sion has an nouneed a hearing to be held in the New Haven courthouse June 27.
 In their appeal to the commission, the corporations said that formerly the Connecticut Go. divided their freight into four classes, but, when making the change in rates, it abol- ished all but first class freight and all articles with the exception of light and bu1-sy packages and live stock came under that class. These articles, however, were also required to take "a higher rate. On May 21, 1917, the company modified its express rates and established a minimum charge of 25 cents fat rate of 50 cents for 1uo pounds.

West Virginia's, Birthday

West Virginia is fifty-four years o1ds today. It was on June 20, 1863 that the secession from secession of the people in the western part of the Old Dominion ended in the birth of a new state. with Wheeling as it's capital. Wheeling will therefore to- day be the scene of festivities in com memoration Of the event. The alli- ance of the West Virginia, mountain eers with the Union and the admis- sion of that state mot family of states, had a profound effect upon the fortunes of, the Confederate cause. It prevented,s for one thing, tn success of the plan for the invasion north ward to Lake Erie. Eastern and Western Virginia had had differences long before the outbreak of the Civil War. This conflict only served to bring these differences to a head. Tn 1861 a provisional state government was formed in West Virginia and ap- plication was made for admission in to the Union. Two years later the new state government went into power at Wheeling. Gov. Pierpont. provisional administrator of the state; went out of office and the new gover- nor, Arthur I. Bofennan, a Scotch Irishman, was inaugurated. Thus was West Virginia launched on It's career as the thirty-fifthf state in the Union, with the motto: "Montani Semper Liberi''-"Mo Mountaineers are always free.'' West Virginia has in the past few years been the scene of warfare between capital and labor. Their battle ground has been the coal fields in Kanawha county. Paint Creek, Beaver Creek and New River are names, with which newspaper readers have become quite familiar and they are usually mentioned in connection with disorders arising out of controversies between coal miners and coal operators

Charley Murphy, of
 Tammany Hall, Celebrates

'Tis a. great day today for Tam
 many Hall, for they're celebrating Charley Murphy's birthday Charley is f1fty-nine years old, or rather. young, and has been Chief of the
 Tammany Clan these many years. Murphy's chief claim to fame is that
 he never talks. In fair weather or
 foul, whether fortune smiles or. has turned her back oh Tammany, Charley Murphy is just as silent as a clam,
 and you know how silent that is. You just simply can't get a; word out of him. If he is perturbed for overjoyed or angry, you would never know it to
 look at him for his expression doesn't change. In a word, Charley is ,atleast a first cousin to the well. known Sphinx. Charles Francis Murphy was born in New York on June 20, 1858.
 He grew up in the famous Gas
 House district, which later became his political stronghold and remains so today. Murphy has many friends and at least as many enemies. all though the returns on election days have not always born out this state ment. He is described by his ene-
 mics as an ex-bartender, former street
 car driver and saloon keeper. They say he has several millions and very likely he has. Attempts without mum Der have been made, to dislodge him as leader of 1Tammany,l both from within and without. He entered poli- tics as general utility man to, sew eral political leaders. Then he bought a saloon. In 1888. he owned three of these places. Then he OF ganized local Tammany Club and
 gradually climbed the political lad der He has never held office, but he has controlled office holders without number. There are those who say that he atebroke'' Gov. Sulzer because ttiT gentleman did not do Murphy's
 bidding. But, as Kipljng says; that is
 another story. One thing is certain Charley Murphy has talked less than any other man in politics Ssst
