DUKE. , f 'UP ' 1 f TRAFFIC DENSITY VARIES Business Is Xot so Attractive in West a In Kast F"uel Xot Xow & Paying rroper Share of Y Costs on Some Lines. CHICAGO. April 3. More reductions than advances In freight rates on soft coal would result from the Western railroads' proposed readjustment of the rates on certain commodities, according to testimony before the Interstate Com merce Commission's hearing" of the Western railroad cases today by B. J. Rowe, manager of the Illinois Central Bail road. Mr. Rowe said that, although the 41 Western railroad systems were seeking an advance generally of 5 cents a ton on soft coal, shipped from Illinois and Indiana mines to Central and Southern Wisconsin and 10 cents a ton to points on the west bank of the Mississippi River and west thereof in Iowa, Mis souri, Minnesota and part of North and South Dakota, the proposed equaiiza tion would cause reductions. This would be done, he said, to place all the rates on a proportionate basis. Some Ratra Would Be Reduced, . "In Northern Minnesota and part of North Dakota many points would enjoy reductions from the present rates, said Mr. Rowe. "The rates to certain points would be reduced for the same reason that rates to other points would be increased that is, to equalize them. "Taking, the Western territory as a whole, our proposed Increases would average 7.95 cents a ton. Coal-hauling In the West is not as attractive to the railroads as In the Kast, where the In terstate Commerce Commission has ap proved higher rates. "A rate of ? 1.60 a ton prevails for a S21-mile haul from Pittsburg to Fort tvayne, ina. or ine same distance inn w . ... . . . the West the increases proposed would IMeW TOrK Man 10 WCCf bOCIcll make the rate only 1.54. "Coal certainly does not, under the present rates, pay its proper share of the cost of transportation in the West. This Is accentuated by the greater den slty of traffic in the Kast. The freight earnings a mile of the Eastern bitumin ous coal roads averages $21,000 a year, while in the West the earnings are only 16700. Traffic Density Varies. "The Norfolk & Western, a typical Eastern coal road, enjoys a traffic density of 4,500,000 tons a mile of line. while the Pittsburir & Lake Erie reached 9,000,000. In the West the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, with 1,700, 00 tons, and the Illinois Central, with 1.633.000 tons, were the extreme, while the St. Louis & San Francisco had but - sir;. ooo.

Classes CHICAGO CAMPAIGN HOT MAYORALTY FIGHT IS MOST TER I. YEARS. BIT- Berd of Elephants, Clowns and Bands in Parades. Which End In Small Riot, Which Police Quell. CHICAGO. April 3. The most bitter Mayoralty campaign in many years came to a close here today with two parades, which in size and interest compared with any which, in other years, have attended Presidential elec tions. An afternoon parade, with a herd of elephants, clowns and many bands, was given in the interests of William Hale Thompson, the Republican candidate. A similar demonstration tonight brought the campaign of the Democrat candidate, Robert M. Sweitzer, to i close. In the course of the Thompson par ade several men attacked the occu pants of automobiles in the procession and tore banners from the cars. The fight that followed assumed the propor tions of a riot and the police were forced to use their clubs before order was restored. Women will vote in the Mayoralty election Tuesday for the first time in Chicago. At the last registration, March 16. 286,624 women and 602,417 men registered, a total of 789,021.

She was not to have made her debut for several seasons, but because of th war she was forced to abandon her plans to pass two years abroad In study. Accordingly, she was included in the season's list of debutantes at the last minute. The wedding, which will unite two well-known American names and two fortunes, will be one of the most auspicious social events of the season here. Miss Biddle is one of the mos popular and attractive girls in Phila delphia s social world. Recently Mr. Duke, accompanied by his fiancee, took part in the wedding of a prominent St. Louis couple. Mr. Duke is the son of James B. Duke, who organized and long was president of the American Tobacco Company. The elder Duke now is chair man of the board of directors of the British-American Tobacco Company, and his fortune is estimated in the mil. lions. His son Is rapidly succeeding his father in his varied interests, which include other tobacco companies, banks, trust, cotton, oil and iron and steel corporations. St. Louis Woman Stopped Her Son From Drinking; With a Simple Home Recipe That She Gave Secretly. She Tells Wbat She Gave. A well-known resident of St. Louis, whose son had used liquor to excess for years, broke him of the habit by using a simple home recipe which she gave secretly. In reply to the ques tion as to what she used she made the following statement: "I used a simple prescription which I mixed at home and It is as follows: To S. oz. of water add 20 grains of muriate of ammonia, a small box of Varlex Compound and 10 grains of pepsin. I gave a teaspoonful three times a day in his coffee. Any druggist can mix it for you, or supply these Ingredients at very little cost. This recipe can be given secretly in coffee, tea or milk, or In the food, as it has no taste, color or smell and is per fectly harmless. I believe any mother or wife can do as I have and rid their dear ones of this awful habit." -Adv. SMILE, BE HAPPY! TAKE GASCARETS Cheer Up! Remove the Winter's Poison Irora Your Liver and Bowels.
