Commissioner Earle of South Caroline led {n the.denunciation of the bill, The discus- sion finally resulted in Commissioner Clark of the Interstate Commerce commmission and Commissioner Burr of Florida offering & suggestion that the bill be approved, if amended so as to specify it was In no way to Interfere with the right of the states. This course was pursued. Bcartely had Secretary Mosely of the Interstate Commerce commission finished the report of a speclal committee recom- mending the approval of the Esch bill be- fore Commissioner Smith of South Dakota was objecting that it would interfere with the right of the states to Investigate. Mr. Mosely, secretary of the interstats commission, sald he was amazed to hear such a statcment. But it was not until Commissioner Barle obtained the floor that the situation became delicate. “We have heard you ask for uniform classification, uniform demurrage, uniform ‘this’ and uniform ‘that’,” sald Mr. Earle, shaking his finger at Mr. Mosely. “We are getting tired of It. Are you going to take everything? I'll tell you right now, 1. a8 a rallroad commissioner of “South Carolina, am not going to accept your uriform demurrage code.” Mr. Earle said that if the federal in- spectors should come to some wreck in South Carolina claiming precedencé over his inspeetors there would be a [fight. “It would not be so bad,” he added, "if you had competent men, but you send out inetficient, political appointees, who try (o lord it/ over us with ths badge of federal inspectors.” Mr. Mosely explained that at present rall- roads are required to report on wrecks and It was desired to have these reports more accurate and more in detall, with a view of preventing the rallroads from “lying” some times do.

It was announced hat the directors had found the charges that Mrs. Stetson was working agalnst the interests of the church and contrary to the teachings and pragtices of Christan Sclence, to_be proved and true. NEW YORK, Nov. 18.—Mrs. Stetson re- celved the news of her excommunication this afternoon at her residence on West Ninety-sixth street, adjoining the white stone temple of the First Church of Chris Scientist, of which she had been the virtual ruler for nearly ten years.

Virgll O.
