the air above his farm
Hoencmann contends that sight Of

There is said to be no direct pre-
codent to guide the court. and the
case is causing wide discussion In
legal circles.
Legal experts Of England have dis
cussed the matter from the stand
point of national ownership Of the
air. 1t is said.
Some lawyers contend that free
dom of the seas and freedom of the
air are the same, while others assert
the courts have held that ownership
carries with it light and air above the
property as well as the earth beneath.
II is pointed out that when the

WHIP STILL HAS
ITS INNINGS
Mark of an Aristocrat in British Col
lege To Have Felt Lashcs of Sting
ing Whip

LONDON. July 2S.-The old Gus
tom of flogging students is still in
vogue in British colleges, whose stu
dents are as old as the average AM
erican college men. The custom is
most followed in the higher class in
stitutions. so that to have been flogg-
ed at school or college is said 10 be
the mark OF an aristocrat.
At Cheltenham college the students
hazed Barnwell. the former tender of
the college baths because he had de
serted the baths, for higher wages in
an aircraft factory. They bombarded
Barnwell's house with bricks There
upon. Barnwell's workmates with
several hundred OF the populaCe
marched to the college and told their
story TO the principal. ArchdeaCon
Waterfield. II was agreed that the
students should pay damages and be
flogged by the ArChdeacon. This was
satisfactory to all concerned, incluu-
ing the students.
Because of the number to undergo
castigation. lots were drawn so that
one out of ten OF the student body
should get the whip. This also was
satisfactory TO the students. But this
sporting spirit impressed the bath
keepers faction that they proposed
that both sides shake hands and call |
it off, which was done with mutual |
regrets and compliments.

RAIL OPERATIONS
BEFORE HOUSE
National Transportation Confer
ence Urges Private Ownership Of
Railroads Merged Into Many Com
peting Systems.

WASHINGTON July 2S.-Priv-
ate ownership and operations of rail
roads, merged into 90 or 80 great
competing systems under the super
vision of a Federal Transportation
Board, with a statutory rule of rate
making assuring to the roads a net
return of six percent, was offered to
the house commerce committee today
as the plan of the National Trans
portation Conference.
Harry A. Wheeler of Chicago. for
mer president of the Chamber OF
Commerce of the United States,
which assembled the Conference, ex-
planned that hearings had been held
for six months at which shippers,
railroad men, labor union officials,
and bankers had been heard. The
plan evolved was said to be a con-
bination of the best features of plans
already put forward, with some new
elements assembled into what the
Conference regarded as harmonious
whole.
Should Build Reserve Fund.
Continued government operation
until remedial legislation is enacted
was urged by the Conference, with
the limitation that such legislation
should be enacted this year. With the
return of the roads, at time when
many probably will be showing defi-
cits, the Conference thought, there
should be made available by Congress
a railroad reserve fund of $500, ,000,-
900, administered by the proposed
Federal Transportatin Board, for
the stabiization Of the roads credit
and to facilitate the recommended
consultations. The sum eventually
would be returned to the government
Government guarantee of earnings
was not favored by the Conference.
Instead, it was urged that the Inter-
state Commerce Commission be
made responsible for rates and fares
designed to yield the carriers in eacn
designated traffic section not less
than six percent upon the aggregate
fair value of the property. Those
roads earning more than six percent
would be required to put half the ex-
cess into company contingent fund

value Of the company's property, the
other half going to general railroad

BOOTBLACKS AGAIN
APPEAR IN BERLIN

BERLIN, July 29.-One more of
the practical fruits of the Revolu-
ton" has been the appearance u
bootblacks in the downtown streets
of Berlin. They are especially well
coined by the hotel guests who since
the dawn "of new freedom" and the
shortage of footgear are steadily dis
carding the once proper night cus-
tom of placing their boots in front of
the door of the apartment where they
awaited the porter's early morning
round.
Greater Berlin has just licensed
160 public bootblack stands. Opera
tors will wear a number and a prus-
sian eagle band in their caps.

thority and maintained for the bene-
fit of all the railroads of the country.
After any roads contingent fund
reached the six percent requirement,
it's annual contribution of excess
earnings to the general contingent
fund would be increased to two
thirds. the remaining one-third Of
this excess being retained by the com
pany for distribution among stock
holders or other lawful purposes.
All Roads 10 get Fund.
The general railroad contingent
fund would be used to assure the siy
percent return without entailing a
government guarantee or unreason-
able rates. II would be drawn upon
by all roads of designated traffic
section when in any year the net re-
turn fell below six percent and those
roads would share in the distribution
pro rata to their gross earnings. The
fund would be built up to s750,O0O,-
600 and any excess would be surren-
dered to the government, to be used
for providing additional transporta-
tion facilities or lessening the cost of
transportation to the public by reduc-
ing capital and investment accounts
of the roads.
Grouping is essential.
Grouping or consolidation of the
into competing systems was
declared to be essential, because
railroad rates must be the same for
similar services. whether perforr. ed
by the weak necessitous railroad or
by the strong and prosperous one"
The grouping should be about the |
present strong systems, it was urged, /
along commercial lines and not by ar
territorial subdivisions. Re-
sulting corporations should be sub
ject to Jurisdiction of Congress, ac-
to the Conference, through |
Federal incorporation, with powers
of police regulation and local taxa
ton reserved to the states.
Each Of the consolidated compan-
les would be required, under the plan
to have twelve directors, three of
whom would be selected by the Fed
eral Transportation Board and one
by the employees.

DEATH OF MR.. ROOSEVELT

One of our oldest, most generally
known and esteemed citizens was
found dead in hissbed this morning,
and while the news Of the sudden and
unexpected death Of Alfred G. Uhler
was passing from mouth to mouth or
being transmitted by telephone, the
death of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt,
was announced, the ex-President hav-
ing passed away at his home at Saga
more Hill at an early hour this morn
ing. His deceaSe was unexpected, that
IS TO the world at large, and the
news soon spread over the city.
While we write. the supplementary
section Of a Sunday paper lies before
us. 1t contains pictures Of prospective
candidates for President next year,
ard Roosevelt's is among them.
Theodore Roosevelt was the twenty
sixth President of the United States,
succeeding William Mckinley in Sen
TENDER. 1901, the latter having died
from an assassin's ballet. He was
elected President in 1901. by a large
majority, and virtually served two
terms. In 1912 he again announced
: himself as candidate for President
and received 100000 votes. Wood
row Wilson. howe"e-, was elected Gu
that occasion and reelected in 1915.
During the campaign Of 1912 Mr.
Roosevelt was shot by a desperate
while making a speech in N!lwau
kee. but he kept on with his adj
dress notwithstanding his wound. The
hall was never extracted.
Mr.. Roosevelt kept himself promi-
nent before the world after he left
the. White House, and had he lived it
IS believed his hat would have been
found in the ring next year.
The deceased climbed rapidly from
rung 10 rung of the ladder of fame,
and although his pclit;cs made him
cMcmies. the fact that he was one Of
ia most illuStriouS Americans cannot
be gain said nor resisted.
