PLEAD REDUCTIQUS III FRFOT RATK

SI t Saw Wat. Wool Growers Assoc'n Goes Before Interstate Commerce Board. Spokane, Wash., Mar 4. Sweeping reductions In freight rates on wool produced In the territory stretching from the Caaadlan boundary to the Mexican border and east from the Missouri rlrer to Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, New York. Baltimore and other eastern and Atlantic seaboard points are sought in the proceedings just instituted before the Interstate Commerce Commission by the National Woo! Growers' association, of which Frank R. Gooding, former governor of Idaho, is proldent. In making the foregoing announcement Frank II. McCunc, traffic expert for the people in the famous Spokane rate case and suits in Colorado, Nevada and Oregon, who has been retained by the growers as commerce counsel, said in an interview: An Important Cace. "The case promises to be one of the xnost Important petitions thus far pre sented to the Interstate Commerce Commission, in that it practically attacks the East-bound schedules of the higher interior charge as compared to Pacific Coast cities as tho intermountain cases attacked the Westbound rates from the eEast. With the wool schedule revised downward the whole fabric of East-bound rates Is imperiled. "The total production of wool in the United 8tates for 1910 was 336,896,903 pounds, of which 70 per cent, was produced in 11 of the Pacific and Northwest states and 80 percent, west of the Missouri River. Practically all of this product finally lands In Chicago, New York,' Boston, or far Eastern woo! markets and the wool grower has to stand the transportation 'cost. "The wool produced in the Western country is sold in the condition it is sheared and Is called 'wool In the grease,' by which is meant wool from which foreign substance has not been removed. The trade prefers to buy wool In sacks rather than in bales, as the sacked wool admits of ready inspection and grading. Western wool Is subject to heavy shrinkage, ranging as high as 67 per cent. In Idaho, but on this the wool grower has to pay a transportation charge, from which there is no return to him from the carrier or other source. "The fclght charge from all Pacific Coast cities to Boston Is $1 a hundred pounds, but from Eastern Oregon, Washington. .Idaho, Montana, Utah, Nevada, Wyoming and other states in the same parallel, hundreds of miles nearer Boston, the rate is $2.13 a hundred pounds, or $1.13 higher than from coast points. The cost to the wool grower to get a pound of pure wool to the Boston market from the Western territory Is 6.39 cents a pound, while the railroads will transport woolen cloth from Boston to the am territory for 3.75 en la m. nniinri. Thus, the raw product pays a transportation charge of nearly 100 per cent, more than the manufactured article. Reads Sought Relief. "The railroads invariably have sought relief from the amended fourth section of the act to regulate commerce on. wool shipments by filing applications with the Interstate Com merce Commission to allow them to continue the higher intermediate rate charge. These applications for re lief by the carriers will be heard at Root Co Qoro ouldn'tWaltx oun Gtalro TIZ Cured Her Quick. If you have sore feet, tired feet, sweaty feet, lame feet, tender feet, smelly feet, corns, callouses or bunIons, read what happened to Mr. Crockett, or Jeffersonvllle. T I Z DID IT. Mr. Crockett says: "After the second treatment she walked downstair ens feet st s time. She has not been able to walk downstairs before In psst flvs years, except by stepping down on each step with ens foot st a time. This Is remarkable. Send five mors boxes." No matter what alls your feet or what under heaven you have used without getting relief, just use TIZ. It's different. It acts right oft It cures sore feet to stay cured. It's the only foot remedy ever made which nets on the principle of drawing out 11 the poisonous exudations whlcn cause sore feet. Powders and other remedies merely clog up the pores. TIZ cleans them out and keeps them clean. Yon will feel better the first time It's used. Use It a week and yon can forget you ever had sore feet There Is nothing on earth that can compare with It TIZ la for sals, at fell drusxlsts, 85c per box. or direct It too wish, from Walter Lujhsr Dodge

p co, c&icaso. m.

the same time as the proceeding for a reduction in rates as filed by wool growers. "The railroads appear to have a sort of a superstitious reverence for tb classification they have placed on wool and becaubw of this they are prepared ' to wage battle to prevent any change In classification, fearing that should wool be re-classlfled It would open the subject for a general re-classiflca-tion of the thousands of other articles enumerated in the railroad classifications, wool beln) considered the 'key note' In the classification scale. "The plea of the carriers is the old old cry of water competition. vhen the fact is that no wool is raised along , the ocean borders. Practically all of ! the wool is grown in the interior, hun dreds of miles from the coast. We hold, therefore, that tho excessive rates charged for the transportation of this product over the rate fixed at the ocean line is arbitrary and unlawful." THE COST OF LIVING. The real cost of living is not reckon ed in dollars and cents it's paid for In physical energy and the compensation Is in physical and mental comfort. Many women do not enjoy life because they are overworked. Consequently, labor-saving devices are the most welcomed of all inventions. Prominent in this class is Hewitt's white Easy Task soap, for kitchen and laundry use. It does half the work Itself, kills tho germs, does not harm the hands or fabrics, and makes an easy task of household drudgery. At Local Theaters HATS OFF TO FIELD. Best Minstrel Show Ever in the City at Gannett Last Evening. "Richmond has New York city beat" ejaculated Gov. Bowen, end man with the Al G. Field's minstrels, at the show at the Gennett theater last evening when the interlocutor explained to him the latest method employed In New York of using filters on the sprinkling wagons to keep the streets from getting dirty. "Here," continued Bowen, "the dirt is swept into piles on the street, the sun comes out and dries it, then a wind come along and swoops it up Into your eye and you go home and wash it out." Field's minstrels at the Gennett last evening was, no doubt, the best attraction of its kind ever in Richmond. The show Is certainly up to the highest standard of attractions of its kind. There was little, doubt but that the audience was well pleased. The work of Harry Fern, John Healy, Gov. Bowen, Johnny Dove and Doc Qulgley, as end men and leading comedians was exceptionally clever. and they kept the audience in an uproar almost continuously. The voices of- the ballad singers were above the average and some good songs were rendered in a really artistic manner. Charles Reinhart, Jack Richards and Walter Sherwood were in the forefront in this particular. The closing spectacle, the naval re view, showing the storm at sea and the hoisting of Old Glory, and Commo dore Perry's victory, was a scenic masterpiece. MacLean Stock Again. The MacLean Stock company, so well and favorably known . to Rich mond theater goers through its former appearance here, will return to the Gennett theater next Monday for a week's engagement, presenting a repertoire of high class play which are new here. The company comes intact from its successful stock season of ten weeks at the Majestic theater, Indianapolis, and while the Mac Lean company has always been of exceptional excellence the present organization is infinitely superior in all respects to any Mr. Mac Lean has ever had. Miss Nana Bryant is still the com pany's leading woman and lis bright particular star and Mr. Mac Lean con tinues in the leading male parts. The supporting company is made up ' of player of fine ability and established reputations, all of whom were with Mr. Mac Lean in Indianapolis and who helped to win the remarkable success and popularity which the company scored in that city. Altogether the company numbers twenty-two people. A car load of special scenery and effect i carried, every production being carefully made with different settings for each. "The Man and the Law" has been selected for the opening bill. It will be presented Monday night At the Murrsy. ' Good shows are tho rule and not an exception at the" Murray and the bin this wsek Is up to tht high standard

set forth by the management of the house. Andy Rankin opened the show with an eccentric musical act which takes well with the people; he plays upon several instruments and at the same

time hands out some good comedy, Jerome Caspar is also a comedian who has a bunch of good stuff that goes good. Next upon the bill is Sidney Shepard & Co. in their Jewish sketch, Tobiliski or the End of the World, the story of which is about an old Jew who does not believe in love or marriage and how his young son and his sweetheart change the book of his favorite author in order to induce him to believe that the world was coming to an end and so soften his heart that he would consent to their marriage. The character of the Jew is portrayed by Sidney Shepard in excellent man ner while the other characters are in the capable hands of his company. The most gorgeous act seen here for a month of Sundays is given by Phasma who lives up to her name. Four serpentine dances are given with beautifully tinted lights, in the first the Jewelled Butterfly, Phasma wears a glittering robe, heavy with spangles, but in the second, the Dance of Colors, she dons a glistening one silver striped. The Witch of the Flames was in direct contrast to the Spirit of the North where after scenes showing ice bergs and glaciers, Phasma waves yards of ruffled silk. Between each dance an irredesscent curtain is lowered upon which pictures of flowers are shown. Motion pictures of excellent caliber conclude the bill. "Ben-Hun" "Ben-Hur," the dramatization of the late General Lew Wallace's famous novel of the same name, since its original production in New York city in the autumn of 189 has maintained its position as the greatest achievement of the spectacular drama and has evolved into the present elaborate version, which is on a scale of unparalled magnlflcance. Each scene as it unfolds becomes more massive than the preceding one until a great climax is reached in the chariot race and the animated pageant of the entry into Jerusalem. "Ben-Hur" has won the esteem of millions of theatergoers and is an en tertainment to which many people go again' and again. AH classes are its patrons and many persons whose inclinations are such that theater-going is not -a usual pastime with them turn with pleasure and eagerness to this stirring dramatic spectacle. The reason is not difficult to discover. While the Wallace story in stage form is made outwardly one of the most impressive and, elaborate spectaclues that the American stage possesses today, its spectacular features do not force the drama into a subservient position. The story told is one that is as general in it appeal a is human sympathy and it is cumulative in interest While the eye may be dazzled and the ear pleased, the appeal to the mind is the ever present factor and "Ben-Hur" remains a drama broad in outline, mighty in its claims for sympathy and beautifully dignified and presentation. An impressive feature of this season's production is the symphonic musical accompaniment of Edgar Stillman Kelley, which so greatly adds to the dignity and solemnity of the spectacle. The engagement of "Ben-Hur" in Richmond will be limited to Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings. May 4, 5 and 6, together with a special matineen on Saturday, May 6. The seats are now on sale.

A carrier pigeon wearing a small aluminum band stamped "U. S. 75,053" flew into the room of Daniel W. Kauffman of Chicago, who is stopping at a hotel here. Mr. Kauffman found the bird perched on the dresser, where it had laid an egg. Mr. Kauffman says the bird seemed to be fatigued. After feeding the pig eon and caring for it tenderly over night, Mr. Kauffman released the bird. Flying in a circle several times, the bird started in a southerly direction. Mr. Kauffman is of the opinion that the pigeon is the property of the government. ,. 1 :i: '. - - .

ASHES OF W0MAI1 ; STOLEllBY SI1EAK Thief Is Panic Stricken when He Discovers Nature of the Loot.

Providence, R. I.. May 4. A sneak thief Raw a neatly wrapped, up packI age at the rear of one of the Adam Express company's wagons. He grabbed it and ran. When he tore the outer wrappings from the parcel he turned pale and left the stolen goods on the door-steps of a near-by house. Some small boys saw him, picked up the parcel and read what was written on the label. Then, in great terror, they ran away. A blank bearing the name of Frank L. Cobb, undertaker, certified that the box contained the ashes of Mary E. Seward, who died of apoplexy in her fifty-second year on Dec. SO. The body was cremated at the Forest Hills crematory, in Massachusetts. When Mrs. A. S. Newman, on whose steps the box was left, found It, she thought some one had Bent her a present. She took the box inside, and when she read the inscription she placed it on the steps, called the Central police station and told Lieutenant O'Neill that the remains of a woman had been found on her steps. Lieutenant O'Neill and Sergeant Johnson "hotfooted" up to the house. they thought some one had fooled them. Then they read the inscription.
