NEW YORK, May 4 Secretary Lang don of the local Red Cross organization received a telegram yesterday from Dr. Devine the national field agent of the .society in which hi- informed Mr. Lang don that he had organized the City of San Francisco into, seven sections for relief purposes and was working hand in hand with the military authorities in co-ordinating all volunteer relief work to administer aid under this plan. A complete simple registration, Dr. Di vine wired, was U'ing worked out, while free employment bureaus had he-n open ed under the auspices of the state labor commission and with the co-operation of both trade.1? unions and employe. Dr. Devine reports having visited Santa Rosa, and found terrible destitution, but satisfactory relief measures. In reply to a wired query to what extent refugees from San Francisco were being sent to this city and whether their arrival here might tend to embar rass the charity organization society, Dr. Devine sent the following telegram: "William C. Langdon, Red Cross, New York. "Committee has authority to issue free asportation until May 5; is trying to send persons to relatives only. They, 5 report few sent to Xew York. .Colonel Tomcy, of the army, in full charge of sanitation; medical help from outside not needed." A novel resolution to help the San Francisco sufferers has been adopted by the Xew York Stamp Society. The so ciety, w Ijich is composed solely of col lectors of rare postage stamps, requests all philatelists and the public at large to assist in this movement each contri buting one or more stamps to be sold at auction at the society's rooms here on May 16th." MINT PAYS OUT MONEY. SAN FRANCISCO; May 4.-The Uni ted Status Mint, which is now being used as the general clearing house for the banks, has paid out between seven and eight million dollars to depositors since it opened Tue-day Inst. Yesterday morning the number of per sons who weiv anxious to secure their money was much smaller than expected. .The line did not extend for half a block. This may have been due to the fact that none of the savings banks are paying depositors. The savings banks will not open for two weeks and there will be no opportunity to withdraw ac counts before that time. (Continued from page 1) a to ' practically prevent the ttn sion of the business of any independent to a point which even remotely eu danger the supremacy of the Standard. Rate Are Too High. Au iiniiuHliuto result of thU delimita tion of the competitive area is shown by the prices of ordinary illuminating oil throughout the country. After de ducting the freight rate, the price of such oil is usually from two cent to live cents a gallon higher in the non competitive than in the competitive fields. A reasonable profit up on refined oil is aliout one-half a cent p r gallon. It is clear that exorbitant profits are obtained, in the mm-compctitie tie UN. This iiionopoli-tic control extends from the well of the producer to the door step of the consumer," Mr. Cartleld cites the fact that the Xew York Central Railroad Company which refused for itself and atl'iliated lines to give aefss to records of State rates. At the beginning of the investigation, he says, the Standard Oil Company de nied that it had obtained in recent year or was now obtaining any rebate .or other transportation discrimination as against its competitors, and yet he says that a most careful review of the act and the explanations lead up to the conclusion that the Standard Oil Company has habitually received from the railroads and i now receiving, secret rates and other unjust and illegal discriminations. Railroads and Standard Combined. "In 1!H4 these rates saved to the Standard Oil Company three quar ters of a million dollars, representing the ditTVreniv between the open rates and the rates actually paid. These dis criminations," he says, "have Wn so long continued, so secret, so ingenious ly applied to new conditions of trade and so large in amount as to make it certain that they were due to concerted action by the Standard and the rail roads." He savs further that the Stand ard Oil Comiwny is receiving unjust .discrimination in the matter of open rates, the published rates from the lead ing Standard shipping points leing re latively much more than rates from the shipping points of its competitor. Mr. Garfield then refers to seven in stances of important discriminations in favor of the Standard Oil Company in .various parts of the country and says that most of the secret rates and some .of the open discriminations discovered by the bureau were aliolished by tin railroads shortly after such discovery After calling attention to the good which already has resulted from the in vestigation Mr. Carlichl says charges effected have put the independents up on a fairer footing and make competi tion possible in territorities heretofore inaccessible. The report concludes a follows Indepennts at Disadvantage. "Nevertheless the widespread dis criminations in open rate still in force leave the independents at serious dis advantage. The investigation only in cidentaly touched state shipment from distributing centers, particularly in W-.t than carloads. The few instances ex iimined suggest probability of discrimi nations on such shipments which, tak' en in connection with through trallic may result in discriminations on inter state business. "I have cited these particular in stances to show the various methods by which discriminations are obtained and to call particular attention to methods which, if legal, are mere devices to ob tain exactly the same result as tfould be obtained by rebates paid on inter state business. Any freight discrimi nation, whether it be state or interstate, tends to give control of markets to the preferred shipper, and makes monopoly possible. If existing law merely pro hibits a special rate device for obtain ing discrimination, and permits the same result to be accomplished in a different way, then the legislation is to that effect a sham. Interstate Commerce Law Defective. ''This investigation has shown very clearly one glaring defect in the inter state commerce law, viz: the method of filing and publishing tariffs. Although a tariff or a rate has b en tiled with the commission in compliance with the teiins of the law, none but the favored shipper may know of its existence. Tariffs may be made and rates may be combined in such manner as to make it practically impossible for the ordi nary shipper to find them. As long as the state rates are not required to be made public and shippers use such rates in combination wW.h interstate rates, all mannen of devices to evade the purpose of the law are possible. All state rates used in connection with interstate ship ments should be filed with the inter state commerce commission and a radi cal change should be made in the direc tion of simplifying tariffs and in me thods of printing and filing them."

It does seem that women have more than a fair share of the aches and pain that afflict humanity; they must "keep up," must attend to dlutie in "pitc of constantly aching back, or headaches, dizzy spells, bearing down pains; they must saoop over, when to stoop means torture. They mii-t walk and bend and work with racking pains and many aches from kidney ills. Kidney causes more suffering than any other organ of the body. Keep the kidneys well and health is easily maintained. Read of a remedy for kidneys only that helps and cures the kidneys and is endorsed by people you know. Mrs. John Close, 2.10 Commercial st, Astoria Ore.,, says: "I just as ardent ly recommend Doan's Kidney Pills now as I did some three year ago when they relieved me of the severe attack of backache and kidney complaint. I never before used any remedy that acted so promptly and effectively as Doan's Kid ney Tills which I procured at Charles Rodgcrs drug store on Commercial street My belief is that if this medicine fails to give relief to anyone suffering from kidney troubles there is nothing else that will relieve, I cheerfully recommend Doan's Kidney Pills to all troubled as I was."
