POWER IS CLAIMED.
|. c. c. Declares 1t Has Right
to Order Joint Tariffs on
RaiI-Barge Routes.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
In an interpretive decision handed
down today the Interstate Commerce
Commission ruled that it was en-
powered under the DeniSon act OF the
last CONGRESS to order any railroad to
make Joint rates with Mississippi and
other river barge lines, without giving
the railroads concerned opportunity to
testify at public hearings.
In addition. the commission held that
the Inland Waterways Corporation, con-
trolled by the Government and now
operating barge lines on the Mississippi
and Warrior Rivers, has instituted a
service of public necessity and con-
venience. Hereafter, any water line
instituting service will be required to
obtain from the commission a ruling
that its service is in the interest of
public convenience and necessity. The
waterway line holding such certificate
can thereafter. under the decision, ask
the commission for an order compelling
railroads to make joint rates, giving
such water lines proper divisions of the
revenue from such joint rates and put
them into effect Immediately.
No situation involving an application
of The ruling is pending before the com J.
mission However, railroads have con.
tended that such action by the commits
sion would be unconstitutional, and the
commission decided 70 Investigate its
power in advance.

the roads to cooperate with the water
carriers. The commission, after notify
ing all carriers and communities inter-
ested. asked for arguments as to the
status of the bill and its own power.
Railroads conceded that the commits
sion might order such joint rates after
investigation and hearings while pro-
ponents of the water lines asserted that
it could order the joint rates in sum-
mary fashion without delay for hearings
and investigation
The decision today held entirely with
the water line contention. At the same
time it is expected that the contest will
be transferred to the courts by the rail-
roads resisting joint rate.

Pictures Taken IA Feet From Huge
Nest Displayed to National
Geographic Society.

Motion picture studies of young
eagles, taken from blind only IA feet
from their huge nest in Northern Scot
land, we're shown TO members of the
National Geographic Society last night
at the Washington Auditorium by Capt
c. w. r. Knight of England. The nest,
made OF a tangle Of twigs, was six feet
long and four feet wide. On it the
mother eagle dropped game which she
caught in the surrounding country. As
many as nine hares were on the nest
at once in addition to grouse and other
small birds. A surprising feature dis
closed by the pictures was the gentle
ness with which the great mother bird
fed her young. This was in striking
contrast to the rough methods shown by
a mother wren In forcing food down the
throats of her tiny children.
Capt. Knights pictures showed sew
eral nests of golden eagles with their
two eaglets each. In one of these eyries
the female fiedgling killed the smaller
male and threw him from the nest. but
in the others the two young birds grew
up together and finally few out into the
world.
