SAFETY DEMANDS
FEDERAL CONTROL
OF THE RAILROADS
Only Way to Meat Emergencies
of Nation, Says A. P. Thorn.
STATES' mm PRESERVED
Principles Which Railway Holt Should
Govern Regulatory System In Inter
ests of Public and the Roads Com
pulsory System of Federal Incorpo
ration Favored.
Washington, Dec. 4. That the Inter
ests of imllonal defense require that
control of railway Hues should rest
with the federal government and not
with the states was the claim ad
vanced by Alfred P. Thorn, counsel
to the- Railway Executives' Advisory
Committee, in concluding his prelim
inary statement of the case for the
railways before the Newlands Joint
Committee on Interstate Commerce.
"We must be efficient as a nation If
we are to deal successfully with our
national emergencies," said Mr. Thorn,
"and we must appreciate that efficient
transportation Is an essential condition
of national efficiency. If we are to
halt and weaken our transportation
systems by state lines, by the perma
nent imposition of burdens by unwise
regulation, we will make national effi
ciency impossible.','
States' Rights Would Not Suffer.
Mr. Thorn cited many instances In
which Bhlppers in one state were In
juriously affected by selflsh regula
tions imposed on the railroads by
neighboring states. He pointed out
that federal regulation would be no in
vasion of the rights of the states but
would be the means of preserving the
rights which they acquired when they
entered the Union, one of which was
the right to the free movement of their
products across state boundaries.
What the Railroads Advocate,
The principles which the railroads
believe should be incorporated in any
just system of regulation were sum
marized by Mr. Thom as follows:
1. The entire power and duty of reg
ulation should be in the hands of trie
national government, except as to mat
ters so essentially local and Incidental
that they cannot be used to Interfere
with the efficiency of the service or the
Just rights of the carriers.
2. As one of the means of accom
plishing this, a system of compulsory
federal Incorporation should be adopt
ed, into which should be brought all
railroad corporations engaged In inter
state or foreign commerce.
3. The Interstate Commerce Commis
sion under existing laws has too much
to do and is charged, with conflicting
functions, Including the Investigation,
prosecution and decision of cases. The
latter duties should be placed In the
hands of a new body which might be
called the Federal Railroad Commis
sion, Regional Commissions should
be established in different parts of
the country to assist the Interstate
Commerce Commission by handling lo
cal cases.
4. The power of the Commission
should be extended to enable It to pre
scribe minimum rates and not merely
maximum rates as at present This
would increase their power to prevent
unjust discriminations.
Justice to Puhjio and Roads.
5. It should be made the duty of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, in
the exercise of its powers to fix rea
sonable rates, to so adjust these rates
that they shall be Just at once to the
public and to the carriers. To this end
the Commission, in determining rates,
should consider the necessity of main
taining efficient transportation and ex
tensions of facilities, the relation of
expenses to rates and the rights of
Bhlppers, stockholders and creditors of
the ronds.
6. The Interstate Commerce Commis
sion should be invested with the pow
er to fix the rates for carrying malls.
7. The federal government should
have exclusive power to supervise the
issue of stocks and bonds by railroad
carriers engaged in Interstate and for
eign commerce.
8. The law should recognize the es
sential difference between things which
restrain trade in the case of ordinary
mercantile concerns and those which
restrain trade In the case of common
carriers. The 'question of competition
Is not. the only fair criterion.
9. The law should expressly provide
for tbe meeting and agreement of traf
fic or other officers of railroads in re
snect of rates or practices. This
should, however, be safeguarded by
requiring the agreements to be filed
with the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion and to be subject to be disapprov
ed by it.
"My legal proposition," Mr. Thom
said, "Is that the Constitution as it
now is gives full authority to Congress
to regulate the instrumentalities of in
terstate commerce in all their parts.
If the power of regulation is to reach
the public requirements, It must be co
extensive with the Instrumentalities of
commerce."
Mr. Thom explained that the roads
are not asking either of the Committee
or of Congress any increase in reve
nues, but that they are merely asking
the perfection of a system which will
be responsible to any need that may
arise.

A MEMORABLE ECLIPSE.
When the Sun Was Totally Obscured
In This Country In 106.
The most remarkable eclipse of the
sun witnessed in the United States In
the centuries since Its discovery took
place on Juue 10, 1806. There Were
eclipses previous and since then, but
that of 1800 is regarded by astrono
mers as the most memorable of all,
that of Aug. 7, 1809, being tbe next in
grandeur and Interest.
The eclipse of 1800 was to be seen
over all parts of North America. For
tunately the day was a remarkably
fine one, scarcely a cloud being visible
In any part of the heavens. The sun's
entire surface was covered at twenty
seven minutes and thirty seconds past
11 o'clock.
James Fenimore Cooper, the novel
ist, though but a youth at the time of
the eclipse, was so enthusiastic an ob
server of the spectacle that twenty-five
years after the event he wrote a mi
nute account of what he saw and how
he felt during the wonderful occur
rence. Mr. Cooper states that as he and
other spectators in his company first
discerned through their glasses the
oval form of the moon darkening the
sun's light an exclamation of delight.
almost triumphant, burst involuntarily
from the lips of all The people began
gathering into the street Their usual
labors were abandoned, and all faces
were turned upward.
The noonday beat began to lessen,
and there was something of the cool
ness of early morning. Mr. Cooper
further states that "all living crea
tures seemed thrown into a state of
agitation. The birds were fluttering
to and fro in great excitement. They
seemed to mistrust that this was not
the gradual approach of evening and
were undecided in their movements.
Even the dogs became uneasy and
drew nearer to their masters.
"Every house now gave up its ten
ants. As the light failed more and
more with every passing second tbe
children came flocking about their
mothers in terror. The sun appeared
like a young moon of three or four
days old. One after the other the
stars came into view, which filled the
spirit with singular sensations."
The general phenomena at all the
places where the eclipse was com
plete or nearly so were the vacillation
of the wind, the deep, strange shadow,
tbe yellowish pink of the atmosphere

ALASKA'S LONG SPUR.
The Aleutian Islands Chain Over a
Thousand Miles In Length.
Few. persons are aware that the
shortest route from San Francisco to
Japan is by way of Alaska. Nearly
a thousand miles are saved to vessels
trading' with the orient by coasting
along the Aleutian islands rather than
following the Hawaiian route.
The Aleutian islands, more than 150
In number, which extend in a chain
east and west for more than a thou
sand miles, are inhabited by Jhe rem
nant of the Aleuts. Their war of the
revolution closed Just as the Ameri
can Revolutionary war began. So pa
triotic were tbe Aleuts, so brave in
their struggle for Independence, that
they succumbed to the Russians only
after a conflict of nearly fifty years,
and then simply because the race was
almost exterminated in the struggle.
While the Aleutian islands must
eventually form an Important link in
the commerce between the United
Stutes and the orient, other islands
link our country with the vast empire
to the north. In the narrow Bering
strait He two little islands, one occu
pied by Russia, the other by the Unit
ed States, so that citizens of the two
great nations live on respective islands
within a few miles of each other.
Evening Schools.
Evening schools owe their existence
to tbe Rev. Thomas Charles, who about
1811 set up one at Bala, Wales, which
proved to be quite successful. In 1839
or 1840 the English Bishop Illnds
strongly recommended such schools for
poor adults, who, on account of en
forced labor, had no chance to secure
an' education. The idea was tafen in
hand by the British privy council in
1801, and from that date evening
schools began to be considered seri
ously. At the present time they are
numerous throughout Great Britain,
America and many other leading na
tions. .

BURNS REMEMBERED
Annual Concert Draws Good Audi
ence of Scots. Excellent Program
A braw breeze wafted frae the fra
grant heatherbloom of the auld sod.
dear to the heart of loyal Scots, came
into Woodman hall here on Monday
evening with the kilted Piper McDon
ald and his noisy instrument, with the
pretty Marie and Irene Watson, tal
ented dancers of the Bteps that the
Scotchman loves, with the ballads of
Charles Graham and the vocal solos
of Miss Morieta Hickman. The audi
ence at the annual concert of the Bob
by Burns society was an interested
one and went in memory back across
the seas to the land of their nativity
in worship of Bobby Burns, Scotland's
famous bard.
Piper McDonald, with his bagpipes;
Charles Graham, singing Lauder's
tuneful airs; the Watson sisters danc
ing the fling, the sword dance and
others; the McLarty quartet, four
young ladies singing the .favorite
Scottish ballads, and Mr. McKinzie,
a real Scot, furnished the distinctly
Scotch features of the entertain
ment. Miss Hickman's songs and her
work at the piano were especially
well received and the singing and
playing of Mrs. Robertson of Port
land was very popular.
The Rev. J. W. MacCallum made a
brief and humorous address in mem
ory of Bobby Burns, reading from R.
G. Ingersol a tribute to the poet. Mr.
Finley, grand chief of the order of
Scottish clans and Mr. Brown, state
deputy of the order, talked to the au
dience upon the work of the order
and regarding the British Red Cross
campaign in this state. Suggestions
of the establishment of a lodge here
were left with the audience.

A Woman's Experience With Grippe
When a cough or cold "hangs in,"
and you have aches and pairfs in your
joints and muscles, it is likely that
grippe is taking hold of your system.
Mrs. J. A. Rodgers, Switzer, Conn.,,
says: "I am susceptible to colds, often
ending in grippe. In this case I have
found Foley's Honey and Tar to pre
vent doctor bills." This sterling fam
ily remedy loosens the phlegm, stops
irritation, allays soreness and inflam
mation and frees the air passages.
