TRENTON. N. j., April A-Suit for
100000 damages was instituted in
court here today against the Nixon
Nitration Works of Nixon, N. j.. by
the Ammonite Company, Inc, of New
York city, as the result of the ex-

to fifty other employees and the de-
struction of a large quantity of
machinery, stock and other material.
The Ammonite Company rented a
section of the Nixon plant for the

was totally destroyed in the explo-
sion. The Ammonite concern charges

railway tracks and roadway to be
saturated with guncotton, which is
described as high explosive and
dangerous to human life.

BOB-HAIRED BANDIT
INvADES BRONX CAFE
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April A haired
bandit, believed to be the daring
Brooklyn highwaywoman wanted by
the police for a series of sensational
crimes, invaded the Bronx last night,
held up a restaurant keeper and es-
capped with jewelry and money total
ing $500, after locking the victim in
his place of business.
Accompanied by her inevitable male
companion, sleek-haired youth, in
Well fitting clothes, she entered the
restaurant of Felix Di Nadia, seated
herself at a table and ordered dinner.
After dining leisurely, the two
started for the cashiers desk, where
Di Nadia, who was alone with them
in the place, came forward to receive
payment.
AS she advanced, the girl thrust the
nuZZle of small automatic pistol
toward Di Nadia, and held it there
while her companion robbed him of
Jewelry worth $3.50 and took $50
from the cash register. Smilingly
ordering the restaurant man to keen
his mouth shut" if he knew what
was best for him, the pair walked
out and the girl snapped a paddock
on the door. They escaped in a tax
icab.
The bob-haired bandits last previ-
Gus appearance was last TUESDAY,
when she shot down the cashier of
the National Biscuit Company's
Brooklyn plant as he frustrated her
attempt to hold up the place.

FREIGHT TERMINAL
BILL IS FAVORED
House District Committee Indorses
Zihlman Measure for Florida
Avenue Proposal.
PRESENT RATES ARE SCORED
Intercity, Shipments Would Be
Helped, Report States.

Favorable report on the Zihlman
bill to provide that any railroad
company having tracks in the Dis
trict of Columbia shall have the right
to have freight delivered on two
squares near the juncture of Florida
avenue and 1st street northeast, upon
payment of a reasonable switching
charge, was made to the House to-
day from the House District commit
tee. This bill provides that if the
parties are unable to agree upon what
is reasonable switching charge,
then the rate shall be prescribed by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
In stating the situation that exists
Acting Chairman Zihlman pointed out
that car of fifty tons at the lowest
rate now quoted would have to pay
$l25 to be switched from the Penn
sylYania tracks to these freight ter
minal points. The House District
committee. he says, made an investi-
cation of switching charges in cities
in the vicinity of Washington and
found that the usual charge for switch
ing cars from one railroad to another
within the city limits is nominal as
compared with the rates in Washing
ton.

Reviewed 1903 Legislation.

Representative Zihlman reviewed
the Legislation in 1903 providing for
the construction of the Union station
and other terminal facilities, showing
that section of that act permitted
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad to
construct and maintain a freight
track running south of Florida ave
nue. within the city, and authorized
delivery of freight upon three squares
in that vicinity.
There is a small adjacent square of
land owned by the District govern
ment ard used as a storage yard for
various building and other supplies,
large quantities of which have to be
handled at great expense from the
southern part of the city because
there is only Baltimore and Ohio de-
livery into this square.

"Rates Almost Prohibifiye.o

The freight rates for shipments
from one railroad to another within
the District are almost prohibitive,"
Representative Zihlman said. He
pointed out the passage of this bill
would save thousands of dollars in
hauling charges annually to the Dis
trict government and the general pub
lie of the growing northeast section
and northwest section.
He emphasized that the Interstate
Commerce Commi SSion has advised
that this is matter upon which Con-
gress might with entire propriety

What My Neighbor Says
Is of Interest to Sank Centre Folks

When one has had the misfortune
to suffer from backache, headaches,
dizziness, urinary disorders and other
kidney ills-and has found relief
from all this sickness and suffering,
that persons advice is of untold value
to friends and neighbors. The fol-
lowing case is only one of many
thousands, but it is that of a Sank
Centre resident. Who could ask for
a better example?
Mrs. E. Millet, says: GA dull ache
settled on my kidneys and it was real
misery to be on my feet any length
of time. Lifting was quite impossl-
BILE. I felt languid mornings and my
limbs were numb and ached. l tried
from the least exertion and it was a
long time before I regained my
strength. I used Doan's Kidney Pills
from Hanson & Emerson's Drug
Store and was much pleased by the
quick relief they brought me.
: Four years later, Mrs. Millet said:
"Doan's cured me of an attack OF
kidney complaint"

WASHINGTON LETTER
Special to Sank Centre Herald)
Especial to Sank Centre Herald)

Especial to Sank Centre Herald)
Washington, Dec. 17-Recess of
Congress over the holidays may have
an Important influence on national
legislation. 1t is expected that they
will give an attentive ear to the folks
back home. The feeling exists that
legislators will return to the Capital
with a more complete knowledge of
what their constituents want. In 9TH
er words, it is believed that they will
be criticized for their failure to en-
act any helpful legislation in the last
three weeks, and will settle down to
business.
Those charged with the responsible
ity for legislative activity have work
ed hard during the last three weeks
without material results. For !, in
stance, Senator Curtis, the Republic
can leader, has frankly admitted that
some of his associates are shifty and
sanguinary. In the House Congress-
man Longworth reports similar diff
culties. The Democratic leaders
have also counted noses to determine
the dependability of their colleagues
in partisan voting.
Talks with these leaders show that
the average legislator is now con-
fronted with the need for decisions.
He must make a choice in keeping
prediction pledges. For instance,
there are numerous members of the
Senate and House who were elected
on promises to support President
, Coolidge in his administrative poll
cies. Many of these men find them
selves in a quandary because of pre-
vious pledges to various groups. 1t
is very embarrassing situation.
Spokesman for the Administration
point to their promise to uphold the
President, if elected, while others in
slst that pledges given at the last ses-
sion should be fulfilled before the adj
Journment of Congress. Of the few
who have definitely decided to retire
voluntarily from public life a move
one way or another is of relatively
little Importance. The great major
lty remaining over as a result of the
election know full well that the Ad-
ministration holds the key to their
political future. The average con-
gresham prides himself upon his
ability to corner Federal patronage
for his constituents. They know
that their chances are lessened by
voting against Administration plans.
1t is political rule which has pre-
vailed since the foundation of the Re-
public.
Official Washington is laughing
quietly at the spectacle presented by
those seeking high offices. 1t is a
custom to provide political berths for
those who failed of reelection, es-
pecially if they served the dominating
party faithfully.
1t is the old story of the t1ame
duck" and his place in public af-
fairs. Ordinarily skillful politicians
find it best to suit their opinions to
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1924-12-18

circumstances. 'sThe manual of the
perfect lame duck'," if ever COM
piled, would have this main principle
remember the man with the gift
bag" The men retiring from Con-
gress on March A, are having this re-
peated to them by their well-wishers.
1t is known that President Coolidge
and his advisors are making a survey
of the Federal departments and indie
pendent establishments where the
high offices are filled by Presidential
appointment. Already an imposing
list of senators and congressman have
been suggested for high honors. The
problem is to find the jobs for the
deserving few. Some of the senators
who have large personal fortunes are
quite willing that the President
should appoint them to diplomatic
posts. Others in less prosperous cir
cumstances would be grateful for
any Federal job carrying a title and
substantial salary:
D.
There is some talk of reorgani-
cation of the personal of the Fedora
al Trade Commission and the Tariff
Commission. These two groups have
been a source of trouble to the Adj
ministration for considerable time.
1t is expected that within a few
months Mr.. Coolidge will enforce a
plan which will make the commissions
more effective. The law creating the
Federal Trade Commission requires
that at least two members shall be of
the minority political party.
d
There is a proposal to trasfer the
Shipping Board to the Department of
Commerce. The Smoot bill for re-or-
ganization to Federal departments
creates Merchant Marine Bureau in
the Department of Commerce. While
it does not specifically abolish the
Shipping Board and confer that
body's duties on this new bureau, it
is said that simple amendment
would accomplish this purpose.
The growing evidence of prosperity
will undoubtedly reduce attempts to
enact Legislative "cure-alls." The
American Bankers Association meet
ing here this week reported general
confidence in the sound conditions OF
the nation with prospects favorable
for expanding prosperity. They said
a particularly encouraging sign is
that this spirit of optimism is temp
cred by an attitude of judicious eau
ton.
1t is interesting to note that the
Treasury is endeavoring to restore
the standard silver to the place
which it formerly held in the cur
rency structure In doing this the
Treasury is actuated by two motives;
first, to improve the quality of the
paper money, particularly in the one
dollar denomination and to affect in
this way a material saving in the ex-
pense of supplying the country with
fit currency. The cost to the Gov
eminent of manufacturing and keep
ing in circulation a one-dollar bill is
1T cents. The treasury says that it
is evident that if months supply of
silver dollars, which have an almost
indefinite life, can take the place of
an equal amount of paper dollars,
an annual saving of about one mil
lion dollars will accrue to the Gov
eminent. The Treasury desires to
put in circulation about 40,000,000
silver dollars. In the far west the So
called "cartwheel" has always been
but in the midwest and east
the paper dollar is preferable.
