Washington, May 21.-Federal de-

fiscatory as applied to the ST. Louis &
San Francisco railroad were sustained
by the supreme court today.
The court also sustained the decision

for determining whether rates are con-

today said that he had not yet been
personally advised of the supreme
court decision, but is expecting the

said. THE railroads entered the

and one of these vessels is worth
100000.
There is one other encouraging fea-
ture about our new wooden vessels,
altho the shipping board is not en-
phasizing it particularly just now. That
is their use after the war is over in
expanding American trade routes.
Naturally the English are not very en-
thusiaStic about carrying American
goods to South America and South
Africa. Neither is any other country.
If we want foreign trade in bulk, we
have got to carry the goods in our
own ships, and in this these little
wooden vessels may help. In the
meantime, they will constitute a much
needed fleet with which to get food to
the allies.

office.
The winter wore on. the same old
endless round of social duties. But,
somehow, Hal seemed to have lost in
tereSt; he even remained at the office
business. until the older Simms broth
er remarked to the younger one that
maybe Harold Griffiths might be of
some use to the firm; after all. Regu-
larly, Hal received a siX-page letter
from Charlotte telling of the wonders
of the climate, the warmness of the
ocean and the wealth of the tourists.
And Hal scanned her letters eagerly
for word concerning the girl with
the white furs, but not once did Char
lotte mention her.
And then, just beforeNhe date when
Charlotte was to sail for northern
chimes, Halls telephone rang, and the
softest voice he had ever heard asked
him if Mr.. Harold Griffiths was in
And having been assured that he was,
the owner of the soft voice proceeded
to tell him that she had just returned
from Cuba, where she had the pleas
ure of meeting Miss Charlotte Taylor.
Charlotte asked me to telephone
you as soon as L reached New York, -
the stranger continued, land to tell
you that she was having a lovely time
and will be home on the first of May"
| That's mighty nice of YOU" Hal
v

oh, yes" the voice answered. 1--WE
went down on the same boat and stay

Hafs heart missed a beat at this
juncture. The girl at the other end
of the wire sho we'd an inclination to
draw the conversation to a close and
| Hal, desperately racking his mind for
some means of continuing it, asked
abruptly: Where are you now?''
/
DO you mind if 1 drop up to see
you for a few minutes, 1 am terribly
interested in Cuba
| For moment there was silence, and
then the voice answered.:
| NO. L don't mind if you do"
So Hal rushed out of the office and
hailed passing taxi. AS he rushed
into the lobby of the Plaza, the girl
with the white furs arose to meet him
And then time flew so fast that il
was 1870 before either of them realized
1t; so they took lunch together and
each told the other the history of his
and her life. And after the girl with
the white furs had found out that Ha
was not engaged to Charlotte or tC
anyone else, she told him that he
might come to see her the next eve
ming.
So Hal, with feigned interest in Cuba

to Topeka this morning to perfect

1t is difficult to understand there
fore under these circumstances the
enmity toward publishers which is ap-
parent at Washington. First. repre-
sentatives of the administration tried
to muzzle the press thru a censorship
law. This is unjust, unfair and un-
called for. There need be no fear that
newspaper men will make public any
matter calculated to interfere with the
government plans for prosecuting the
war.
News gatherers knew when the tor
pedo boat flotilla sailed for European
waters and knew also when it reached
its destination. That knowledge was
withheld from newspaper readers ur-
til public announcement was made
from London.

blow at the newspapers. 1t is pro-
posed to place a tax on advertising and
to increase the postal rates. either of
which actions would drive many pub
fishers out of business. Not only will
they be compelled to pay their share
of the income tax and every other
form of tax and the increasing cost
of labor and material but it is pro-
posed to place a special burden upon
them which would spell ruin for "A

1t is the constant looking at wall
