7ranl1el Says He Did Not
Approve Authority Given
Railroad Administration
(By P. H, M'Gowan.) &.

Washington March 8.-Declaring
that in Florida the boards or trade
and the chambers of commerce have
been, time and time again, disturbed
and worried on account of orders 60
ing out from the railroad administra-
ton with reference to rates to be ef-
fective in from ten to fifteen days
without any opportunity for a hear
ing, thereby causing serious embar-
rassment to many persons and finan-
oial interests in Florida, Senator
Trammell just before Congress ad-
journed, addressed the Senate on this
important matter.
Senator Trammell said that when
the question arose as to taking from
the Interstate Commerce Commission
the power to make rates and to place
, that authority in the hands of the
railroad administration, it was urged
at that time as war measure, pure
and simple, and that he did tot ap-
prove of this action at that time.
Since then different orders have been
made, rates have been applied, no.
upon scientific basis ascertained af-
ter a careful investigation, and we
have seen rise Of twenty per
cent as a general increase made
throughout the country regardless OF
consideration of the conditions In
different localities and the conditions
surrounding different commodities
which were affected by these rates.
I'm my state" the Florida senator
said, 1.-THE shippers, the boards OF
trade, and the chambers of commerce
have been time and time again dis
turbed and worried on account of an
order going out with reference 70
rates to be effective in some ten or
fifteen days without any opportunity
for hearing. The policy very large
ly has been to place the rate in force
and then let the public have its
hearing. Under the old plan, and
law, the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, when it contemplated any in
crease of rates, gave the shippers due
opportunity to be heard as to the
equity and the justice of the increase.
1.-THE urgency of the war has now
passed. The necessity for centraliz-
ing this power so as to allow one man
at one fell stroke of his pen to in
crease the rates Is per cent or pos
I sibly to some other arbitrary rate
has in my opinion, ceased. believe
we should again restore the author
ity to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to initiate rates. I believe
that once again the shippers of the
country should have an opportunity
to be heard when a rate increase Is
! contemplated.

Just few words to say how we
enjoyed a very delightful auto trip
to Tampa yesterday, for we had never
visited that fine, progressive city be-
fore and the drive out around The
beautiful bay was surely a delight.
I had very little idea of the size and
the fine homes we passed. II truly
caused feeling Of wishing to go
again and look 1t all over. There
was one paramount exception to the
trip and that is what would men
ton in most kindly spirit That
is the stretch of highway of about
four miles We have to pass over be-
fore entering Plant City, And, while
I've seen some pretty rough sailing
and travelling over roads In some 40
States OF the Union, that four miles
of terrible rugged roadway puts one
over anything have ever expert
enced. And the last half mile CT so
just entering the city with its bump
ety-bumpety inequalities is almost a
crime, It seems to me, when with q
trifling expense and little effort on
the part of somebody It could be made
passable and peaceable to all who
have occasion to drive over II. And
when one would Just think Of all the
cuss words saved and the clearing
of the blue atmosphere to different
color, II would indeed become great
asset to Plant City. Knowing for
many years Mr.. Henry Brady Plant
and his sensitive ideas Of doing
things, really believe that II he
could in any possible way know Of
the conditions Of that piece of road
way he would turn in his casket and
give out a most remorseful cry to
either make that bit Of highway safe
and sane for all who would pass or
else give that city another name

RETURN OF WILD MAN
REEVES OLD TERRoRS

Flatwoods, w. Va, March S.-The
belief that q wild man is still lurk-
ing in this vicinity, stealing and kill
ing chickens and young pigs, is
stronger than ever just now. A story
related by Luther G. Douglas has
dispelled all hopes that the terrible
creature had fed to other localities.
Douglas story follows:
Il was on my way home from lodge
needing" said Douglas. when I
heard a noise near Ed Wiley's barn,
which is close to the road. I thought
it might be dog and paid little at
tention to it at FIRST. Then, a. I was
passing q vacant house a short dis
lance from Eds place. heard a
distant door slam and q wild-looking
fellow, In rags and with the same
long hair and beard that others who
have seen him have described, came
rushing out of the front door of the
old house, brandishing a huge knot.

flying sounds ever have heard.
Being convinced by his actions
that was to be assaulted and pos
sibly killed, drew my revolver and
took two shots at him. With this
he turned and fed, screaming loud.
er than ever. didn't pursue him.
Not me. 1t would take drawer man
than profess to be to go on the trail
of that horrible creature"
The authorities are again agitating
the question of taking some means
to capture this much-feared lunatic,
or whatever he is.

We all enjoyed hearing Rev.
Oliver last Sunday and caught
some of the spirit of enthusiasm
which is actuating the million dol
lar campaign. The church at this
place went over the top having
$4,000 last Sunday. We expect
the sum will be increased when
members who were MOI present
give their share toward this much
needed fund.
Next Sunday morning our pas
tor will use for his subject, "Nic-
odemus," and in the evening,
"The Mirage Of Sin"
We will have our annual cleo
ton of school officers and teach
ers next Sunday. Let us have
the usual good attendance. Only
two more services before our pas
tor takes his vacation.
Our Monday evening quarterly
conference was very satisfactory
in every way. Though the wealth
er was not propitious for a large
gathering, the people were there
just the same. Rev. Hescott,
president of the conference, was
in charge. Rev. Crandell received
the call for the coming year, and
the salary was raised 100000.
Mrs. VIM. Cheeseman was elected
delegate to the annual conference
with Mr.. Walter Brown as alJer-
nate delegate.
The L. A. S. met with Mrs,
Grant Welch on Thursday and

Perpetrators of Bomb
 Outrages Were Outsiders

Philadelphia, January 2TPolice author ities today expressed the opinion that the actual perpetrators of the bombing outra ges here Monday night, when the homes of three prominent Philadelphiaps were partly wrecked. were men from other cities and were piloted about town by local confederates. This belief was strengthened today by the arrival of two
 New York detectives who immediately
 began an investigation on behalf of the
 authorities of that city. The first thing
 they did was to take look at Edward
 Moore, who is held without bail for a
 further hearing in connection with the comb explosions.
 Moore is said to have acted as secretary years ago for William Haywood, leader of the Industrial Workers of the World. now serving prison sentence in the west. Moore is we'll known to the police as radical.
 City councils are expected to offer large reward for the apprehension of the I bombers.
