 | The grand jury members, with Dr | Blumer, were in Boston and Cam

UP TO SUPREME COURT
Railway systems Trying To Prevent
 N. '. Central From Acquiring Two f# Other Roads.

Washington, Jan. 24.-The fight Of a number of railway systems to pre- vent the New York Central from ac- quiring ownership of the Chicago River and Indiana railroad and leas- ing the Chicago Junction railway reached the supreme court today for argument. The case is regarded in railroad circles as test of the au- thority of the interstate commerce commission.
 Counsel for the railroads opposing the New York Central plan told the court the commission was without authority in advance of a general con- solidation to approve the purchase and lease which would have the ef- feet, it was asserted, of giving the New York Central n material advan- tage over it's competitors in all east bound freight coming through Chi cago.
 The government replied that the commissions approval of the deal was merely permissive and not mandatory, and was in the public interest. IL

Doctor Is Shot in Resultant
 FraCaS in Georgia

Savannah, Ga, Jan. 24.-An edi- torial protesting against the poisoning of the fayorite collie dog Of Walter l.. Hay. editor of the Willacoochce Times, an obscure Georgia country weekly newspaper. may cost a human life. Dr. Henry Corbin, a practicing physician of Willacoochee, is in the Kings Daughters hospital at Way cross, suffering from three bullet wounds alleged to have been inflicted by Hay.
 Several days ago it was said Hays dog, bit Dr. Corbins child. The lat fer asked that the dog be killed Hay declined to do this. Later the dog cditors yard.
 The last issue of The Times carried this editorial; headed: Don the name of the dog, and signed by the editor:
 "I might have used this caption: 'Assassinated by Goat in Sheep's Clothes: Or the Mongrel that Poi- soned q Thoroughbred but the fiend that perpetrated that dastardly act is not the one I have in mind. | am thinking of Don, q dog that was a friend 10 men. women and children, and had never wilfully harmed hu- man being on earth. Our collie was poisoned and passed from this life last Friday night but he is not nearly s6 dead as the bush whacltinE rene- gade that prepared and administered the fatal dose. I'd rather bc in his position than in that of the assassin.
 Maybe dogs do not have souls; al least it is not orthodox 10 make the claim, but Don had many Of the ele- mcnts. He was kind, considcrate, thoughtful and obedient. but could anybody be charitable enough to ascribe a soul 10 the coward that would steal up 10 his yard under cover Of darkness and give him dose of poison without any justification under heaven?
 "The number of highly respected people who have inquired about Don and the nature Of remarks would in- dicate that he stood higher in this community than the white livered in- diyidual that gave him poison. Of course that fact is nothing 10 brag about, but II is q little consolation"
 The paper appeared on Friday Saturday afternoon C0rbiH and Hay met on the streets Of WiilacOochce. There were words over the editorial Corbin taking it as aimed personally al him. The editor drew his rec yolver and befor. bystanders could interfere he had put three bullets into Corbin. The Wounded man has been lowering between life and death since.

Dear Sir

"I am pleased to learn from your recent letter that you favor concerted action to fight the proposed increase in fare which thu Connecticut Co. has ordered in effect February 10. and I believe your suggestion as 10 appeals to the public utilities commission by the city attorneys Of the municipalities involved, is a good one.
 q regret that you failed 10 compre- bend the meaning of my statement in a previous letter. which read as fol- lows: Tt is my belief that tho cities about tlDc state are to bc made to suf- fer because Of the companys griev- ance over the outcome Of the one-man trolley controversy in the city of Hart ford This. l gather from your letter. was interpreted as disapprovai Of Hartford's action.
 Dismissing from discussion entirely the wisdom Of Hsrtford's action in banning onc- man cars-and my per sonal opinion is that such @ decision was a wise one-there Is no question in my mind but that the Connecticut Co is using this action Of the board Of aldermen as a peg upon which to hang the increase.
 My words were not spoken in condemnation Of the action of your board Of aldermen; [ believe that if one man cars were banned throughout the state it would do much for the safety of the riding public. believe that Hartford had perfect right to order such cars oI the streets, even in the absence of the agreement made some 90 years ago about which l knew nothing.
 You wili no doubt recall the state- ment made by President st0rrs of the Connecticut Co. several days ago be- fore action was taken by the Hartford 1" "termen. in which he threatened that. if 0n.-ruan cars were ordered of the streets. fares would bc increased. When your board Of aldermen passed such resolution. the Connecticut Co. made good its threat
 ''It would appear from the expres- Hi0ns made by other mayors around the state that public sentimeut is over wheimingiv against am increase in trolley fares. believe that the mayors of the cities opposing tho increase should exert every effort 10 convince the Public Utilities commission of the injustice that the proposed increase would work on tbe riding pubic.

rose channel Why was it that he
couldn't talk to a woman in that
fashion? He knew that he had none
OF the graces: he scorned them. But
why were they given 10 the STRIPPING

that he was always clumsy and i'll
at ease whenever a woman was
about?
Even Sally Morgan bothered him.
If she bothered him. why didn't she
bother Chester Underwood? But she
didn't-not a bit. Nor did Chester
Underwood bother her. But Henry
Williams did; the Wreck knew It..
She was on an easy footing Of com

minutes; it was always the same
way with ranch hands. or anybody
else. But with himself he felt that
she was constantly under a con-
straint. even though she tried to
mask it. She never understood him:
sometimes she laughed at him. some
times he was certain that she had
a sense Of pity for him, a realiza-
ton that fairly sickened him. What

anyhow? And with her?

his side, gripping him firmly by the
