ASKS III LAWS Wants Sections Pertaining to Railroads and Commission Work Remodeled. ANNUAL REPORT NOW OUT A LAW SHOULD BE PASSED OIVINQ COMMISSION AUTHORITY TO PERMIT REFUNDS AND ALSO REPARATIONS. (Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 0. The Indiana Railroad Commission makea recommendation in its annual report, Just published, for chances in eleven sections of the laws pertaining to railroads And the authority of the commission in railroad affairs. The need of increased power for the commission and of requiring the railroads to provide more adequate means for protecting the lives of their employes and persons required to cross the railroad right of way are emphasised in the recommendations. The need of keeping trespassers off the right of way Is again emphasised. The following are the recommendations as made: "The railroad commission act should be so amended that In proper cases the railroad commission may intervene in proceedings for the location, change, or extension of a public highway over the right of way of a railway, outside of the corporate limits of cities and towna, when, in its Judgment such location, change or extension would not be advisable from the standpoint of public safety. A Uniform Method. MA law should be passed providing a uniform method for presenting to the railroads, shipper or consignees claims against the latter; prescribing the kind of proofs of claims which should be submitted to the carrier and Imposing upon the latter the duty of absolutely accepting or supplementing this proof so far as It Is able. The law should alio Include a penal provision Intended to secure prompt settlement of consignees' claims against carriers where the statutory method of proving the same has been followed. "A law should be passed giving the commission authority to permit refunds or reparations In case where a shipper has acquired of an authorised representative of the carrier and a sate has been quoted to him by the latter which ts lower than the lawfully published rate; whereby the shipper has misled to his damage. The safety appliance law should bs so amended as to provide an adequate punishment for wrongful destruction or Interference with the operation of aafety appliances used to protect highway crossings. A statute should be passed to prevent trespassing upon railway tracks, and punishing all persons who use such tracks a a footway. We have heretofore prepared a good bill on this subject. "The safety appliance law should further be so amended as to require adequate and properly working hand brakes to be placed upon all cars, both freight and passenger. Including Interurban cars, and as to the latter that the hand brakes should operate Independently of the air of power brakes. Amend Safety Act. "The aafety appliance act should also bs so amended aa to give the commission authority to require the removal of lateral and overhead obstructions near railroad tracka In cities and towns. "A law should bs enacted providing for the elimination of grade crossings throughout the state by requiring the steam and electric railroads to sepa rate a specified number of grades each year for each one hundred miles of railroad or fraction thereof owned or operated by them. The expense of separation should.be divided between the railroads and the counties, cities and towns, wherein the crossings are located according to some fair basis to be determined by the railroad commission. "The cities and towns code should bs so smended as to permit sn sppeal to the railroad commission from town boards and city councils respecting Hungry Utile Folks find delightful satisfaction In a bowl of toothsome fftosl , , with Cream and Sugar. When the children want lunch this wholesome nourishing food Is always ready to serve right from the package without cooking, and saves many steps for mother.

ordinances governing the speed of railway trains within rate limits; and the commission should be given power upordlnance exists governing the speed of trains through cities of the first, Becond, third and fourth class, to prescribe the rate or rates of speed at which trains may run within the corporate limits of said cities. "Sections 57805788 (Burns Statutes, 1008) concerning wires over railroads should be amended so as to enable the railroad commission to make general rules or orders in specific cases governing the manner In which telegraph, telephone and other wires shall be constructed and maintained over or under tracks of railways in order to prevent injury to trainmen and others coming in contact with such wires. "The railroad commission act in section 7, subdivision C, should be amended so ss to remove the two years limitation from the life of commission's orders, and provide instead that an order from the commission shall remain in force for such time as .shall be provided in the order itself unless sooner modified or set aside by the commission or a court of competent Jurisdiction." ' , At Local Theaters At the Gannett. The Maxwell-Hall . company, headed by Miss Gertrude Maitland had all available space taken last night at the Gennett to see the "Jealous Wife." the play was in four acts, the scenes at Atlantio City and the staging was equal to any one of the high class productions, the leading role being taken by Miss Maitland, who lived up to her, past reputation as being the most beautiful woman as well as one of the best on the stage. Mr. Hand makes an ideal hero and the other parts were taken by artists of the highest rank, not only was the play entirely new, but also the Vaudeville which Included clever specialties . by Miss Maitland, Mr. Hawkins and Mr. Moran. Moving pictures were also shown. Space will not permit us to go into detail, as much could be said 'regarding the most excellent organization but they must be seen to be appreciated. Tonight they will produce for the first time here in Richmond, the great military play, "The Bell of Virginia." This play is by the pen of Justice Adams and is proclaimed by Mr. Hall to be aa good If not better as the opening bill, "A Jealous Wife." Starting today there will be dally ten cent matinees with a change of play at every performance. Friday night, the great feature play, "Sapho." SL Elmo" Tonight. The continued large crowds at the Murray this week indicate the popularity of the Cutter Stock Co. now playing this week at the Murray and their engagement continues through next week. St. Elmo is always a favorite but when presented by the Cutter company it has received the largest patronage, as it deserves to have. Tonight closes the presentation of this play and on tomorrow at matinee and night will be given "The Triumph of Betty, which from the demand for seats shows that it "will rival the play "St. Elmo" In attendance. Call the Murray and have seats laid aside for any performance this week. Matinees daily. III EXTRA SESSION (Ameriaaa News ' Service) Denver, Col., Aug. 9.

United States Owes Balance of Trade to Old King Cotton

(American Ntwi Service.) New York. Aug. 9 The announcement the other day that the country owes to King Cotton its balance of trade, gave quite a Jar to the wheat barons of the Street, who have been disposed to appropriate to themselves all of the credit for Uncle'Sam's commercial predominance. But for it. the United States would be a debtor instead of a creditor to the tune of some $7,000,000,000 in the last 120 years, according to the statistics recently compiled by the Southern.' Commercial Congress. For this period the total exports aggregated $47,991. 224,405. Cotton's contribution to this was $13,598,353,086. The total balance of trade in favor of the United States for the same period amounts to $6,436,114,566. showing that cotton saved Uncle Samuel's skin. With the development in the next century of flax, which Is now made available for the manufacture of American made linen through the wonderful process of: Benjamin Cushing Mudge, by which it is turned, in 24 hours into fabric for -commercial use, the balance of trade should be greatly augmented. Until the discovery of Mudge's process, which is to the linen industry what Eli Whitney's gin was tc cotton, flat was not not regarded as as American industry. If it develops In anything like the proportion that cotton did following the invention of Whitney's cotton gin. statisticians say linen should become as commanding an industry as cotton.

Born to steal, he says, thirteen-year-old George : Byrne, arrested this week for robbing a store, presents an interesting study for students of Lornbrose. When taken Into custody, the youngster confessed to a long series of 'thefts from neighbors and members of his own family and said he could not resist the temptation. "I can't help it" he said. "I was born that way and I must steal or I'm not happy." - Prominent criminologists and . phy sicians have been Invited to examine the youngster to determine what abnormalities they can find that predispose him to a life of crime. In many respects the case is one of the most pathetic and interesting that has been under the observation of the authorit ies in a long time. The boy belongs to a thoroughly respectable family and has been brought up in a whole some atmosphere such as . would - or dinarily be likely to discourage a pre dilection for crime, (t is suspected that he has been a frequent patron of the five-cent picture shows that maku a- business of exhibiting feats of dar ing on the part of thieves and hlga waymen. In spite of the supposedly rigorous " examination of pictures by the Censorship Committee, many pic tures which should be condemned contrive to secure that body's approval Wherefore the grand jury is going to investigate.
