Right of Appeal If Rates
Deemed High

An appeal TO the federal shipping
board in washington 10 make an order
compelling the Inter-Island Steam
Navigation Co. to return TO the Scheo-
ule Of freight and passenger rates ell
fective in 1916, or an appeal TO the SUI
preme court of the United States TO
determine the jurisdiction OF the local
body. or both. may be the next move
nv the Public Utilities Commlssi III IN
its endeayor TO force the steamship
company to reduce its charges.
Commenting today on the decision
of the territorial supreme court holo'
ing that the commission has no )dlls
diction over the rates OF the company l,
Attorney Will T. Garden, chairman OIL
the commission. points out that the
commission has the risNt T. appeal u
the shipping board or the United
States supreme court In this conneC
ton he refers to section 2?"2, X, L.
1915, which reads, in part, as iGtlo vs.:
The commission shall have the
lower to examine into apt OF she mat
ters referred to in section 2225, not
withstanding that the sane may Do
within the jurisdiction OF the inter
stat. commerce commission or Wfh'n
the II risdiction CT anv court NJ 1tner
body, and when, after such eXemlna'
ton the commission shall be OF the
opinion that the circumstances war
rant It shall be its duty to effect the
necessary relief or remedy by the es-
tablishment of appropriate proceed
ings or otherwise before tue said In
terstate commerce commission, or
said court or other body, in Its own
name or in the name OF the territory,
or in the name or names Of any com.
plainant or compliments as 1t may
deem best"
Attorney Garden points out that, by
its order of last September. the COM
mission deems that the rates which
were charged by the Inter.Island at
that time were unreasonable, and that
IL is now the duty Of the commission
TO appeal to either the shipping board
or the u. s. supreme court, or both,
for relief.
The attorneys for the commission
announced today that they had not
agreed on any further action as D,
hut that a meeting Of the commission
would probably be held In few days,
when this matter would be deter
mined. : =. Il
AS the decision just handed down
was on the appeal of the steamship
company from the order of the com.
mission there still remains in the SUI
preme court the appeal by the COM
pany from the court order declaring
an Injunction against the Company to
restrain It from disobeying the COM
missions order.

CEMETERY MEMORIAL
SERVICES HELD
Interesting and Instructive Program
Consisting Of Many Short Speeches
by Community Leaders
Feature Exercises. Orders
March in Bodies.
GRAVES DECORATED WITH FLOWERS

The service held at the Gene
terry last Sunday afternoon was
a success. Of course we hope to
improve the programs as future
services are held, but the service
had the effect that was desired
in that it has already created
some interest in careing for the
lots by the owners.
More work will be done and
the sentiment against the Gene
terry will finlaly be eradicated.
1t takes money with which to do
most anything. We need a fence
around the cemetery. The move
ment has already started and
Mr.. S. F. Patterson has subscrib-
ed two hundred dollars to begin
with. We shall appeal to the Mills,
Merchants, Lodges, Churches,
Sunday Schools, individuals and
all business enterprises to help
in this campaign. We need to
have a well drilled and that will
cost money. We feel sure that
every one present Sunday after
noon will vouch for the truth of
this statement. Report all con-
tributions to Rev. R. L. Topping,
Minister of the First Christian
Church, who has taken the
Cemetery work in nand. Full
credit will be given through the
columns of the Roanoke Rapids
Herald.
The Rosemary Concert Band
furnished music. The line of
march was as follows: E. B.
Davis, captain of Woodmen De-
gree team in charge, the Wood
men Circle, the Rosemary Con-
cert Band, Woodmen of the
World, Red Men and Junior Or
der United Mechanics. Upon
reaching the Cemetery the graves
that had flags placed upon them
were Immediately decorated,
during the service the grave Of
Jim Burton, Immediately after
the service the grave of A. J.
Thomson and all others who
carried flowers placed them upon
the graves of their dead.

Good Musical

rection of Miss Bidleman by q
we'll trained cast is probably the

tertainment presented here in
some time.
The play abounds with humor.
Gus situations we'll developed by
the players. 1t seemed to please
the audience from beginning to
end. All of the parts were
handled exceptionally we'll and
the entire cast deserve commen-
dation in the fullest degree.

as Mr.. Gibson, R. L. Towe as
Ted Lorraine, Miss Alice Hocka-
day as Molly Kelly, and DR. D.

especially worthy of mention.
The musical numbers were
new and catchy and we'll render
defed. The Greek dance of Miss

artistically done. The musical
number of Mr.. j. M. jackson,
Hello, I'm Looking for YOU,
Mrs. Mosher and Mr.. l.. Towe,
Take it from me-, Miss Mable
Boyd in the second act opening.
Pretty Baby, and the solos
