April .( Special.) Tlrlns of a life of inaction. Miss Klthel Kelly, sister of Mra. Frank Gould, has returned to the stage after a period (rlTcn to traveling with her sister and her brother-in-law In Kurope. Miss Kelly bas taken a minor part in "The Rose Maid." a delightful two-act oper etta, which was produced in New York for the first time last week. Although her part Is not a large one there is no one on the st.ii.-e In whom the audi ence takes a livelier interest. Everyone "In front" knows that Miss Kelly Is Mrs. doulds sister and that she. like her sister, was for a long time a chorus girl. Miss Kelly tried to give "P the stage, traveled with her millionaire relatives and tried a life of ease. But It failed to afford the pleasure she thought it would and she finally enlisted with "The Rose Maid forces. "The Rose Maid" is a new lennese opera which, like Its sister production. -The Spring Maid." Is tuneful and pretty. Miss Kelly appears as Mamie Morris, one of the many pretty girls who give a awing to the play. The operetta is adapted from the In telligent and amusing book and the good plot Is well worked out and not spoiled br the adapters. Harry B. hmlth and Raymond I'eck. ITettv songs, plenty of comedy and a world of dash characterise the pro duction which has never a dull mo ment. The music by Fru- no C.ranlch staedten. is sweet ar.d pleasing. A It was "made in Vienna." waltx move ments ahoundl. some of them being very pretty while none was over worked. No one waa permitted to in troduce "rag time" or modern dances. The staging was rood and the dresses many and pretty. The part of "The Rose Maid Is taken by Arlenne Augarde. a dainty little maid, graceful and clever, who In a light but pleasing voice, is dupli cating her success In "The Dollar Princess" a year or more ago.

LITIGATION IS PREDICTED DcrMon Declares Branches Not Only Pay Kxpenses, btit Produce Profit Without Collecting for Service From Trunk Lines. WASHINGTON. April 29. Tap lines are not common carriers. That, in gen eral effect, is the decision of the Inter state Commerce Commission, handed down today after an Investigation of more than a year. The committee holds, however, that each case must be determined on Its I own facts, it being clear that some so- caiieu mien " . ...... r...- leges of common carriers. It is signifi cant that In every one of the 36 tap line cases passed upon by the Commis sion, it Is held that "none of thorn Is a common carrier with respect to the services it performs to the proprietary lumber companies." Litigation Predicted. The opinion in the case was ren dered by Commissioner Harlan, and was concurred In by all members of the body. That It will result in 8ii litigation and eventually find Us way to the United States Supreme Court seems a certainty. Involving an Inves tigation of more than 2000 Industrial railroads and tens of millions of dol lars !n capital invested, the tap line case is one of the most important pro ceedings ever undertaken by the In terstate Commerce Commission. In dealing with the subject the Com mission says: "The Commission haa made a care ful investigation of the relations be tween the railroad companies and small Industrial lines owned by manufactur ing or other plants, which receive al lowances from the carriers sufficient in many cases not only to pay their operating expenses, but to return hand some revenues on the investment. Interatxtte Rates Not Affected "The contention of the lumber com panies was that the tracks and locomo tives, serving their mills, and which have been Incorporated under the state statutes as railroad common carriers, are entitled to receive allowances from the trunk lines for the services per formed for the proprietary companies. "The Commission holds that the common ownership of an Industry and a short line serving it is not In Itself sufficient to divest the railroad of its status as a common carrier. The Com mission holds, however, that each case must stand on Its own facts. Rates on interstate hauls, under the decision, will not be affected mate rially, us the question determined re lates only to tho divisional of exist ing through rates. These dlvlslonals are of Importance to the trunk lines and to the ao-called tap lines, but they do not affect the shipper unless he be the operator of one of the industrial roads. Begaa Cancelling Year Ago. Nearly a year and a half ago. the tariffs tiled by the trunk line railroads cancelling their divisions of rates with the tap lines and eliminating the privi lege of through routes and Joint rates were suspended by the Commission. From time to time, while the matter had been under consideration, the tariffs have been suspended further by the voluntary action of the trunK lilies, so the Commission might have opportunity to consider the compli cated question. The period of the last suspension will expire tomorrow night at l-o-clock. Then the cancellations of the vlslonals of the existing rates will be come effective. Tap Line Attorneys Act. Immediately upon the announcement today of the decision attorneys for tbe tap lines instituted efforts to obtain a further suspension of the cancella tions, that they might hove time In which to Ble with the Commerce court proceedings to restrain the proposed trunk line tariffs from becoming effec- tlThe language of the Commission's opinion is "that the cancellations by Sarsaparilla By virtue of unequaled blood purifying, nerve - strengthening, jtomaclfWng, appetite-restoring properfies, is the one Great Spring Medicine.
