ACCEPTS THE CHALLENGE Shippers’ Attorney at Rate Hearing, Who Asserted Carriers Were Wast- ing a Mitlion a Day, Will Meet Rail- road Presidents at Any Time and Place They Desire—Hearing on Pro- posed Rzte Increases Continues. ‘Washington, Nov. 30.—In reply to the offer of several Western railroads to employ him at his own salary if he could show them, as he said he could, how American railroads could save $1,000,000 a day, Louis D. Bran- deis of Boston telegraphed that.with- out any charge o them he would be glad to meet and point out to a con- ference or conferences cf Eastern and Western railroad presidents how such saving could be effected. Mr. Brandeis is here representing shipping organizations in the freight rate increase hearing being conducted before the interstate commerce com- mission. Charles C. McCain of New York city, chairman of the Trunk Line as- sociation, was examined before the commission regarding the publication by the association of a pamphlet en- titled “The Diminished Purchasing Power of Railroad Earnings.” He said he haa distributed 23,509 conies of this book at a cost of $8,003. The purpose of the pamphlet, he said, was to assert a need for readjustment and increase of rates. . Railroad Industry Threatened. It declared that there had been “since 1897 a great reduction in rail- way freight rates, which has gone so far as to endanger the maintenance of the present level of railway wages and to threater the stability of the whole railway industry and all allied industries.” E. E. Williamsen of Cincinnati, freight commissioner for the commer- cial organizations of that city, was recalled and examined regarding the figures he had ctudied and analyzed concerning the KErie and other rail- roads. He had severely criticised the Erie | for overcapitalization and the exam- ination by counsel for the road was to bring out that the situation on the road was far different than that in the years past which the witness had dwelt upon. He said the Erie was handicapped with a fixed charge per mile of $45,000 more than the Baltimore and Ohio and the latter had a surplus from the present level of rates. PROPOSE LONG HAUL RAISES of the West Agree on Schedule. Chicago, Nov. 30.—Representatives Railroads in conference for several days over the proposed advance in freight rates to the Pacific coast left for Washing- ton to lay the new schedule before the interstate commerce commission. The schedules adopted show an in- crease approximating 25 per cent in the class rates on transcontinental long hauls. In submitting this application for an advance in the transcontinental freight rates to the interstate com- merce commission the railroads are impelled by the provision in the re- cently amended law and the court de- cision relative to it, prohibiting them from charging more for a short than for a long haul over the same line. Rather than reduce rates on the short haul the railroads will put up the rates on the long haul if the commission will permit.

He was very proud of his new auto- mobile—talked automobile, dreamed au- tomobile, read automobile. - Finally to his friends he became a nuisance, and each to himself swore softly that he would bide his time and at the prop- er moment give him a little verbal thrust. 5 Fiuvally one long suffering individual was asked to go for a ride. Excuses tvere of no avail. He was bundled into the machine and taken for a spin through the parks and over the boule- vards. In due course of time, without any serious mishap. they pulled up at the Automobile club. The auto crank and his guest were soon surrounded by several of their friends, “How did you enjoy your ride?’ was asked of the auto crank’s friend. “Until today 1 never thought an automobile could go so fast” was his reply. (Here the auto crank was all attention. That was some praise for his car. Right out in public too. That would silence some of the scoffers who said his machine should be called Snaily “Why. do you know there was a car went by us at such a clip that I could hardly see it.” The auto crank glared, and under his gaze the group melted away. They had had their revenge,—Pittsburg Gazette- Times. Juvenile Suicides. “A generation ago the taking of their own lives by minors was almost an un- heard of occurrence,” said a physician. “Now it is becoming alarmingly fre- quent not only in this country. but in Europe. In most cases the phenome- non can be.set down to the artificial life people lead and to the complex couditions of modern existence. Very often parents are too ambitious for their children and by constant appeals to them so work on the nervous tem- peraments of their offspring as to bring on a derangement of the mental faculties. One of the most noted spe- cialists of France, Dr. Berillon, who has made a study of the matter, as- serts that children who have a suicidal tendency are for the most part want- ing in the sense of.smell. He makes recommendation that.all who suffer from this defect should be taken to an expert for examination, as it might tend to forestall some future tragedy. —Baltimore American. The First Automobilist. . Nicholas Joseph Cugnot was the flrst automobilist. Many years before Ste- phenson had introduced his railway locomotive Cugnot, who was a mili- tary engineer, had made a locomotive for roads. His locomotive has been piously preserved at the Conservatoire des Arts et Metiers. Cugnot died in 1804. His lot was not ‘that of many geniuses. He did not die in want. Na- poleon had secured him 2 pension of 1,000 francs—passing rich on $200 a year. In this respect the premier con- sul showed more enlightenment than he did in regard to Fulton of steamboat fame, whom he considered—it Is dis- tressing to write—an adventurer. Cug- not’s carriage was built to transport arms and he had designed a service gun. These achievements alone would be a passport to Napoleon’s favor.— Loundon Globe. His Luxurious Pillow. “When sleeping cars first came in,” said -a railroad man, “the bedclothes in the berths were very scanty. On one of these early cars one night after everybody had turned in and the lights were low a loud voice called from an upper berth: “ ‘Porter, got a corkscrew ? “The porter came hurrying down the aisle. “‘Boss,” he said in a scandalized tone, ‘we don’t allow no drinkin' in the berths. It's against.the rules.’ “‘Oh, it ain’t that, porter,’ the voice answered. ‘I just want to dig out a pillow that’s sort of worked its way into my ear.” The Persian Crow’s Beak, There is a weapon known as the crow’s beak which was formerly much in use among men of rank in Persia and north India. It was a horseman’s weapon and consisted of a broad curved dagger blade fixed at right angles to a shaft, pickax fashion. The shaft incloses a dagger, unscrewing at the butt end. This concealed dagger i8 a very common feature of Indian arms and especially of the battleaxes of Persia. Her Question Answered.
