Appeal to United States - Supreme - '- Court to Be Taken by 28 Lines In Illinois. CHICAGO, Jan. 13. Authority of the State of Illinois to fix railroad rates within its own borders "was upheld in J.Ue United States District Court today when Judge Landis dismissed, for want of equity, the petition of.2S railroad companies asking an injunction against the enforceTnent of the 2-cent-a-mlle pansenger rate. j The railroads announced they would appeal the case to the United States Supreme Court. The ruling - of' the higher court may affect ten other states where 2-cent passenger rates now are in effect. In deciding the case Judge Landis said: " "It is my opinion that there Is no earthly power, no possible' power in the Interstate Commerce Commission under the guise of relieving. St. Louis and Keokuk of discrimination, to repeal the Illinois 2-cent fare law." A committee of railroad attorneys Jind passenger traffic managers lett for Washington, D. C, today to apply to the Interstate Commerce Commission for a suspension of the order requiring the railroads to put into effect Jan uary 15 the new tariff of 2.4 cents per mile pending the outcome of the ap peal of the railroads. In order to obtain a suspension of the order before Monday, the committee iplanned to ask the Commission to sit Sunday and hear its petition. " As a result of Judge Landis' decision the railroads are left in a peculiar position- The Interstate Commerce Commission has ordered a 2.4 cent rate, while the State Legislature has decreed that a 2-cent rate shall be charged. The 2-cent rate is now in effect In Illinois. CLUB SITE S SOUGHT Oregon City Building to Have Every Convenience. OREGON CITY.-Jan. 13. (Special.) Preliminary plans lor the clubhouse of ' the Oregon City Young People's Insti tute have been prepared and the offi cers and committees of the organiza- Alkali in Soap Bad for the Hair Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair" looking Its best. Most soaps and prepared sham poos contain too much alkali. This dries the ecalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it. ' The best thing for steady use is Just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure. and greaselesE), and is better than the most expensive soap or any thing else you can use. .' - One or two teaepnonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp horoughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it In. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and It leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and'easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and -a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months. Adv. tion are now hunting for a suitable site. The question of a. location is a puz zling one, as the officers of the in stitute want a site in the h-eart of tbe city so that classes of business men can be formed and the building can serve all districts of the city alike. With the decision to raise $20,000 In stead of $5000, a much better building now is proposed. The building will probably be concrete, three stories high and 73 by SO feet. ' On the first floor will be a swimming pool, 20 by 60 feet; a bowling alley, heating plant, lockers, shower baths and galleries for both the swimming pool and the bowling alley. The second, or main, floor will have the office, library, blllard-room, smoking-room. Junior gymnasium and a large lobby. The third floor will be In reality two stories high, or 22 feet, making the height of the building equal to the ordinary four-story structure. It will contain the main gymnasium, 40 by 75 feet and with a ceiling 22 feet high. It will have a moveable stage. The total seating capacity will be 800. ROAD CODE IS INDORSED FUND MATCHING BY STATE AND COUNTIES IS OPPOSED. Classification of Highways Is Consid ered Better War as Bonds Too Often Strain Finances. No controversy ' could develop over the subject under discussion at the luncheon of the Civic League yester day, the proposed highway code, .be cause everybody seemed to be equally in favor of a codification of the high way laws to produce harmony and co operation 'between state and county, and the differences of opinion as to method even were apparently slight. J. D. Brown, president of the Farm ers" Union: Rufus E. Holman, County Commissioner, and O. W. Taylpr, chair man -of the Highway Code Committee which has been working on the new code to be Introduced at the present session of Legislature, were the speak ers. Classification -of highways under county and state jurisdiction and pro vision for the administration of road work under the classification in such manner that county and state may co operate to get the maximum improve ment results, were the points urged by the speakers as important in road leg islation. Mr. Brown declared that there should be no more road building on terms of the state putting up a certain amount if the county would put up an equal sum. "Such action by the state has been responsible for many of the counties bonding themselves almost into bank ruptcy," he said. "What we want is a sane and carefully worked out plan by which the development can be carried on by both the state and the county, each working in Its own, well-defined jurisdiction." ENTERTAINMENT IS GOOD W. li. Finley Lectures at O.-W. II. & X. Employes' Club Session.

ASCERTAINED COST ASKED Willingness Expressed to Contract to Build Vessel Quicker Than Government Can Attitude Is Based on Patriotism. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. lS.-r-Speaking before- the Terrapin Club here tonight on the complaint of the Navy Depart ment against the high bids received for warships, Eugene G. Grace, president f the Bethlehem Steel Company, said his company had determined to make an offer to the Government that if it will build two of the four authorized battle cruisers in Navy-yards the Bethlehem Company will construct the other two at the ascertained cost of building the ships in the Government yards, without additional expense or commissions of any kind. "We also will contract to have our ships reauy for service ahead of the Government ships," he said. Drawing attention to a letter written by the Secretary of the Navy to the chairman of the House committee on naval affairs asking for an appropria tion of $12,000,000 to equip Navy-yards to build the four ships, Mr. Grace said the request was made without any as surance that the Government can build the cruisers cheaper than private ship builders. "It would be a real advantage to the Bethlehem Steel ship-yards to be re lieved of any obligation to enter upon this naval construction," Mr. Grace said. The profit from it cannot possibly amount to mucn ana ma responsiDinty is enormous. But we do feel a patriotic obligation in the matter and we realize it is our duty to do everything we can to make our plant and experience available for the use of the American Government." The policy of the Navy Department, Mr. Grace said, seems to embody an effort to discourage private enterprise and to divert all work for National de fense to Government plants. Referring to a recent announcement that a British manufacturer had under bid American concerns for shells for the Navy, Mr. Grace said It should be remembered that the British navy has seen but little action and that it Is entirely conceivable that there is a urplus of naval shells on hand whicn the British government might be will ing to have its munition makers dump in the United states and turn ine pro. ceeds into shells for uee on the battle fields. . KAISER SCORES ANSWER GERMANY DECLARED READY FOR ' ALL SACRIFICES. "Bnrnlng Indignation and Hot Wrath" Will Redouble Strength, Says Proc lamation to Subjects. . AMSTERDAM, via London, Jan. 13. The following proclamation by the Emperor to the German people has been officially published in Berlin: "Our enemies have dropped the mask. After refusing with scorn and hypocritical words of love of peace and humanity our honest peace offer they have now, in their reply to the United States, gone beyond that and admitted their lust for conquest, the baseness of which is further enhanced by their calumnous assertions. Their aim is the crushing of Germany, the dismemberment of the powers allied with us and the enslavement of the freedom of Europe and the seas, un der the same yoke that Greece, with the gnashing of teeth, is now endur ing. "But what they could not achieve in 30 months of the bloodiest fight ing and unscrupulous economic war they will also fall to accomplish in the future. Our glorious victories and our iron strength of will with which our fighting people at the front and at home have borne all hardships and distress guarantee that also In the fu ture our beloved fatherland has noth ing to fear. Burning indignation and holy wrath will redouble the strength of every German man and woman, whether it Is devoted to fighting, to work or to suffering. We are ready for all sacrifices. The God who planted his glorious spirit of freedom in the hearts of our brave people will also give us and our loyal allies, tested in battle, the full victory over all the enemies' lust for power and rage for destruction.
