0uirpd where Il railroad operates in one
State only.
The Legislative Committee OF tho
league. which drafted the proposed
changes. also recommended that the
power Of States over railroads be pro-
served. subject only TO the right Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission TO re-
ciiic complaints.

claimed, attempts to fix rates 50 that
the carriers will receive per cent on

criminatOry against other lines Of bust
ness.

DARBY HUNTER HAD GOOD
STORY BUT NO RABBITS
Friend Listened AttentlvelyS Until
Gunner Said Thief Got Bag

For week Edward Fries lived in the
p-State hills and was the terror and
nemesis of all the rabbits thcreabouts.
Yesterday he returned to tho borough Of
Darby with enough trophies TO makc
twenty BABY Buutings warm for the
winter.
Now Mr.. Fries has that weakness
common to all hunters home from the
hills. and he could not resist an inclina-
tion not to return home. but instead go
to Prospect Hotel 10 speak with his old
friend. Harry Bowers.
1t was Mr.. Fries intention 10 let
Mr. Bowers enjoy the thrills and ad-
ventures of hunter by proxy. lie
rocounted how the rabbits fled On panic
before his approach, how fleet these
beasts were. and yet not so fleet "a to
escape his trusty gun and faithful dog.
IIc eXportly led his narrative to II
climax and then taking the adnirinG
Mr.. Bowers by the arm led him to the
'front.' of the hotel.
"Now." said Mr. Fries lightly, "herc
are few of the rabbits that ! stopped
10 pick up" lie reached his hand into
his automobile. but, alas. after grnsping
about for several minutes he drew It
out empty.
The game vas gone. and gone. too,
wcrC his trusty gun and faithful dog.
"W"ll, sir, I'll bo - began
Mr.. Fries; but he stopped suddcnly,
for MIR. Bowers face had hardened into
look of cold suspicion. And it is
related by Darby chroniclCr that he,
before whom the rabbits of Berks Coun-
ty had quuied. went home sorrowful
Of heart.

London. Nov. 10.-CBy A. PA
gloomy view Of the financial position
of the United Kingdom was presented
in the House Of Commons yesterday by
Sir Robert Horne. Chancellor OF the
Exchcquer, in moving the second read
ing of the Appropriation Bill. lie ex-
pressed the belief, however, that Great
Britain's traditional tenacity and re-
sourcefulness would carry her through
the hard times.
The arrangement to begin payment Of
the interest on the war debt owed 10 the
United States at the rate Of ESQ, 600 900
annually, he said, would occasion fresh
expenditure next year, and would com.
pei the House to "cut its coat according
to its cloth"
The budget estimated a surplus of
fst 900, 900 from ordinary revenue and
E03 900 900 from extraordinary rev.
nue.. Of this total $50 900, 600 was
allocated to the sinking fund, leaving
an estimated surplus Of f0T ,0O0, 900,
which. however, had disappeared, owing
TO the recent coal strike and payments
to the railways at the cessation Of Gov
ernmcnt control Expenditures of an
additional E20 900 900 because Of un-
employment had been Offset by cquiva-
lent savings.
The surplus would be insufficient to
provide sinking fund Of ESQ, 900 900,
which would have to be provided by bor-
rowing, he said. This. he added, would
involve no deficit III the budget.
