Chicago, March 2o.--Miss Edna Tay-
lor, 81 year old University of Chicago
student, missing since Thursday when
she started for New York to visit her
parents, has been found.
Miss Taylor explained her absence by
saying that she had lost her purse con-
tanning $50 while on the way to the rail-
way station Thursday and conceived the
idea of working to raise enough money
to visit her home.

house in which she was found under an

week. She also secured position
which required only an hour of her time

said, she found just five cents in her
purse, and after hesitating as to whether

New York, March 2o.-Injur O.
-ceedings were instituted tod q INST
the government by counsel arly
1OO railroads IN connection a the
rate order promulgated by ifs rstate
commerce commission effective arch /,
which the petitioners assert is arbitrary
and outside the powers of the com1nis-
sion.
Practically all of the eastern lines. ex-
cept the New York Central, Pennsyva-
mia, and Baltimore and Ohio Joined in
the application to set aside the order
which reduced by fifteen per cent. the
proportion of rates on inter-regionai
shipments given to eastern lines, and
adde dthis percentage to the amount al
located to the New England carriers.
The railroads contended that enforce
ment of the order would cause them to
lose large sums of money and damage
them irreparably. They submitted the
order was arbitrary, without foundation
and not within powers of the commits
sion.
The New York Central, it was said,
will start separate proceedings alleging
the order to be discriminatory inasmuch
as the Boston and Albany railroad is the
only New England carrier unaffected by
1t.
The injunction proceedings were said
to constitute the first case striking at
the powers exercised by the interstate
commerce commission under the trans
portation act Of 1910
The petitioners asserted they had vol
unfairly established joint rates on a per-
cerltage basis among themselves and
other railroads transporting freight be-
tween nearly all points in New England
and those situated north of the Ohio and
east of the Mississippi river. These
rates agreed upon would be upset by the
order to which they object.
Asking that the order be annulled and
execution forever enjoined, the carriers
contended that It attempted to take
monies from one group and give them
another on grounds of public policy.
Such power, If It exists at all, the pc
tition sets forth. involves the exercise
of discretion exclusively legislative and
which cannot be conferred upon an ad-
ministratfve agency.
The railroads declare the order adopt
ed a different basis for increasing their
divisions in cases where they now re
ceive half or less Of the joint rate than
IN instances where their part of the
joint rate now exceeds 80 per cent.
The New England roads whose com
plants led to the making. Of the order
by the commission are the Central New
England; Bangor and Arooso ook; Bos
ton and Maine Central Vermont; Maine
Central; New York, New Haven an6
Hartford Rutland. and their subsfdiar-
les and oDeraf ed lines

LITTLE PROSPECT FOR AN
ARMY EXCEEDING 1I5. 900 MEN

Washington, March 20.-After a con-
ference today at the capitol with house
republican leaders. Secretary Weeks said
he saw little prospect of the house agree
ing to larger army during the coming
fiscal year than the force provided for
in the army appropriation bill-115,0oe
men and 1000 officers.
Reiterating his belief that pay pro-
visions should be made for 143, 900 men
exclusive of 1000 Philippine scouts, and
5000 officers, the secretary of war said
he hoped the senate would insist on that
strength.
Mr. Weeks discussed the army situa-
tion with number of house members,
and, he said, found the sentiment general
that the subcommittee which framed the
pending appropriation bill would succeed
in putting through its recommendation
for reduction in enlisted and officer per-
sonnel. A vote on the strength provision
Of the bill probably will come within the
next day or SO.
While at the capitol. Secretary Weeks
was told by Representative Sisson. Mis-
sissippi, democratic member Of the sub
committee, that he would offer an
amendment providing for a reduction in
enlisted personnel to 100000 men by
July l.

mittee. said the idea was to dispose Of
the bill on Thursday, but with liberal
debate.
THE speakers attitude is that he
must be shown that 4Iajority favors
suspension of the rules" said Mr..
Campbell. My impression is that he
is satisfied on that point"
In their meeting with the speaker the
members went over the whole situation
fairly fully. Representative Lineberger,
Of California, a former service man.
wanted a party conference called to
thresh out the bonus question and the
speaker was represented as favoring
this procedure. Others opposed such
plan. however. arguing that this would
open up the whole bill to change. Mr.
Lineberger finally agreed not to press
for a conference and after further dis
cussion it was decided to leave until
tomorrow the final decision by the
speaker as to procedure.
Attending the White House confer
ence. which lasted nearly two hours,
were Mr. Mondeu, Chairman Fordney, Of
the ways and means committee, Chair
man Campbell, of the rules committee !:
Chairman Towner, of the house confer
ence Chairman Fess, of the congress
sional committee, and Representative
Longwoth, Of Ohio. They laid the whole
situation before the president empha-
sizing the change that had been made
In the bill since the presidents last let
ter to Mr.. Fordney suggesting a sales
tax or postponement of the legislation.
Some of them also stressed their desire
to proceed under a suspension of the
rules so as to cut off amendments which
they believed would be offered with a
view to embarrassing those in charge Of
the bill.
The president was represented as Civ
ing no indication one way or another as
to his views on the bin, and desiring to
be left free to pass judgment on it when
| 1t reached the White House He was
quoted as saying that he had not had
opportunity to study all of its provis-
| ions as fully as he might wish also
that h ethought the responsibility was
with congress at this time.
When the White House callers got on
the floor of the house they were sur
rounded by groups Of members eager to
learn first hand what the president had
said about the bill. Representative Gar
, neT. Of Texas, ranking democrat on the
ways and means committee, also
| sought to get public Information as to

when the bill would come UP. Repre-

lar order, however, and the speaker sus-
| tained him.
| Il think we ought to have some infor-
nation concerning the question when we
are going to take up the bonus bill,
! said Mr.. Garner.
| The chair thinks that is a reasona-
