REPORT ON CAR
SERVICE FILED.
Bill Contends R. R. Row
Held Cars From the
Mines.

George T. Bell, executive vice
president Of the Northern West
Virginia Coal Operators associa-
ton, today filed exceptions to the.
report Of the interstate Commerce
commissions examiner in the case
in which the memoirs Of the asso-
citation with mines located on the
Monongahela and Morgantown and
Wheeling railways are seeking
either TO secure an adjustment Of a
shortage Of cars which accrued on
those lines during Federal control
or reparation for the damages
which resulted therefrom.
The principal findings Of the ex-
aminer were (1) that the rules
and regulations Of the Pennsyl-
vania and Pittsburgh and Lake
Erie railroads which have been in
effect since March /, 1920, are not
unjustly discriminatory; (2) that
it was impracticable for the Direc-
tor General Of Railroads to give
the Monogahela and Morgantown
and Wheeling their pro rata
shares Of cars during the period
involved in the case-July l, 1919.
to March /, 1920; (3) that the
failure OF the Director General to
follow the car distribution rules
did not Of itself constitute undue
prejudice; (4) that the rules of
the Director General were not un-
Justly discriminatory; and (5)
that the Pennsylvania and Pitts
burgh and Lake Erie are under no
legal obligations to make up short
ages which accrued during federal
control.
In answer to the first finding.
the exceptions show that the pres
ent rules Of the railroads were not
complained Of and are therefore,
not in issue.
With respect to the second find
ing, Mr.. Bell shows that during
practically all OF the period In is
sue the Pennsylvania railroad had
on its Monongahela division, which
is the one connecting directly with
the Monolgahela railway, omre
cars than the mines on that divis.
DIN could load, in fact the excess
cars on that division alone were
almost enough to have made the
entire shortage which accrued on
the Monongahela and Morgantown
and Wheeling. He shows further
that the real cause Of the shortage
was the continuous wrangling be-
tween the Pennsylvania and Pitts
burgh and Lake Erie as to which
one Of them was responsible for

CRIME TO BEAR TRIPLETs
Old Uganda Marriage Law Prescribed
Death for the Mother, Babies
and Grandparents.

The old Uganda marriage laws con-
demned to death any woman who gave
birth to triplets, because the natives
considered the occurrence due to
witchcraft.
John Roscoe. leader OF an ethnologi-
cal expedition to Uganda. writes to the
London Times the following:
The old marriage laws here have
taken me some forty hours to note
down, and I discovered today how
dreadful IL was In the olden times for
any woman to have triplets. One case
which my informant had witnessed will
suffice to make you understand the
horror felt by the people when such an
event occurred. A woman gsve birth
TO trtplets. and the event was duly re-
lated to the king, whereupon he sent
men to take the woman with the chill
dren. and also the maternal grand
parents, into the wilds, and had them
all speared to death. The husband OF
the woman had his eyes gouged out,
lest he should ever look upon the king
and bewitch him.
These pastoral people are closely
allied to the Baganda, and are, I
think. a different branch of Hamitis
from the Ankole Bahima."

Several elements help to make the
