POWERS CURTAILED
Taking Over of Railroads by Director
General McAdOo Takes Away Many
Duties of Corporation Commission.

The jurisdiction of the State Cor
poration Commission is greatly affect
ed by the recent rate-raising schedule
issued by Federal Railway Director
McAdoo. All railways except the
short lines, which the government has
not yet taken over, have virtually
been removed from the jurisdiction
of state commissions. With one word
Mr.. McAdoo has done what the cor
poration commissions of the various
states would do after months con-
sideration Of testimony pro and con.
The result is that the State Corpora
ton Commissions jurisdiction is limit
ed to the short lines and other pub

SUBMARINE CLOSE TO CAPE
Persistent Rumor in Norfolk Has 1t
american Vessel Was Attacked.

Norfolk, Va, June 3.-Norfolk was
flooded Saturday night with persistent
reports that German submarine ha;::
been operating very close to Cape
Henry and that one American vessel
had been attacked by the u boat, but
had escaped by throwing out smoke
screen.
A seaman on an incoming vessel de-
clared his vessel, in company with
two others, had been fired at, and that
the projectiles ricocheted near his
boat, whereupon all three vessels put
on full speed for port.
Passengers on an incoming steamer
reported their ship received warning
that the presence of submarine was
suspected, and that unusual precau-
lions for this part Of the sea were
taken, especially at night, to prevent
the enemy craft sighting them.
Rear Admiral Walter Mclean, conf
mandant of the Fifth Naval district,
when asked about the matter, said
that he had heard the report that a
German submarine was present on
this side, but had heard nothing Of any
! attack on an American vessel.
1t is known, however, that the gov
eminent is fully alive to the menace
to shipping that would Turk in the
presence of one of the kaisers sea
pirates over here, and is ready for lis
appearance in these waters. 1t is not
permissible to say, however, what
course Of action is being pursued.

EAT GROUND GLASS
Two Richmond Doctors Make Expert
ment With Substance in Eatables.
Also Experiment With Dogs.

Ground glass in considerable guam
titles may be taken into the stomach
without apparent injury. Such is the
result of experiments made by DR.. E.
C..L. Miller, professor of physiology
chemistry at the Medical College of
Virginia, and Dr.. Charles c. Haskell,
professor of pharmaeology at the
Medical College of Virginia.
The glass was given to number
of dogs, in varying doses and at
VARYING intervals. DR.. Haskell and DIR.
Miller then took a number of cap
sules filled with glass crushed and
pounded in mortar to the size of an
ordinary graduated sugar. No harm
full results were noticed.
The report of Drs. Miller and Has
kell says:
"If the glass is to harm any one it
must be eaten, so the first point was
to determine how much glass could
be placed in food and not detected
when eaten. If detected the food would
not be eaten, as pounded glass gives a
very unpleasant gritty feeling when
crushed between the teeth. To deter
mine this point we baked cakes con-
tanning definite amounts of glass and
then ate portions Of them IT,
Our pounded glass was made from
ordinary broken beakers and test
tubes by pounding them in mortar
and passing the material through
sieves. 1t was about as coarse as
granulated sugar.
From tests it appears that food con"
tanning pounded glass about as fine as
granulated sugar would be so unpleas-
ant that no one would eat it unless
the glass were in very small amounts,
at least less than one-eighth Of one
per cent. Hence we conclude that
there is no danger of people eating
any considerable amount of pounded
glass without knowing it,
