BEGINS FIGHT ON RAIL OWNED SHIPS Commerce Commission Seeks to Divorce Roads and Steamer Lines.

WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct 10 The Interstate commerce commission has begun to prepare ways and means for the performance of one of the most important duties intrusted to it by congress during the last session the divorce of railroads from steamship lines. The policy the commission will adopt in this matter is of especial concern to the people of the middle west. If the commission shall order the railroads operating vessels on the great lakes to divest themselves of their water line ownership It will mean the restoration of competition and, In all probability, lower rates. The interstate commerce law provides that if any water carrier reduces a rate to meet water competition it shall not thereafter Increase the rate because such water competition has been withdrawn. So that if the railroads are compelled to separate from their lake holdings, it will assure water competition, with a consequent effect on the price charged for the transportation of grain, coal, and other freight. Advantage to Middle West. It is , of prime importance to the middle west, therefore, what action I the commission shall take under the law recently placed on the statute books. The law does not call for drastic , action at once. It gives the railroads two years to place themselves "within its provisions, and if they fail to do so, then authorizes the interstate commerce commission to Initiate proceedings against them. Carriers owning steamship lines are authorized to apply to the commission

for permission to retain such lines,, and the commission will give them such permission provided it finds that water service Is being operated in the interest of the public and for the convenience and commerce of the people. The law specifically prohibits railroads from owning ships operating through the Panama canal. But it does not apply this prohibition so sweepingly to the United States. Powers of the Committee. The commission is empowered to determine questions of fact as to competition or possibility of competition after full hearing " on the application of any railroad company or other carriers." The commission expects the New York, New Haven and Hartford and other carriers to make application promptly in order that it may institute the required investigation. It is expected the railroads will contest the constitutionality, of the law. They do not intend to surrender properties worth millions without a fight, but the lawyers on the commission are confident the Supreme court will uphold the law. When you have a bad cold you want the best medicine obtainable so as to cure it with as little delay as possible. Here is a druggist's opinion: I have Bold Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for fifteen years," says Enos Lollar of Saratoga, Ind., "and consider it the best on the market." For sale by all dealers.

JOB" DEFINITION IMPORTANT PART Whole Dynamite Conspiracy Case, in Fact, May Hinge on This Point. " (National News Association) INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 10 With good prospects for testimony in the dynamite conspiracy trial beginning late Wednesday several attorneys for defendants in their statements to the jury laid special 6tress on the interpretation of the word "job" as appearing in correspondence between officers of the Ironworkers Union and other labor leaders. The entire result of the trial may hinge on what interpretation the jury accepts of this word. The defense's statements to the jury indicates that the entire blame for dy namite explosions will be placed on the McNamaras and their gang of actual perpetrators who have already actually confessed. They will contend that the explosions were caused without the knowledge of the other officers of the unions. Amusements (Advertisement.) THEATRICAL CALENDAR. Murray Theater. Vaudeville Matinee and Night Gennett Theater. Oct. 15 "The Grain of Dust." Oct. 19 "Get Rich Quick Wallingford." At the Murray. The mid-week change in the bill at the Murray is proving a popular innovation and the program that suc ceeded that of the first of this week, I which was unusually good in all of its phases, was greeted cordially at the matinee this afternoon. Deweese & Cuba, trick instrumentalists and dancers, put on an entertaining act a little out of the ordinary which took with the audience and McLlyan and Hamilton proved amusing comedy acrobats. A diverting sketch by Gibney and Earl furnished the theatrical attraction while Thompson and Carter did some good singing and clever talking. The Booth Trio in their sensational bicycle act created some thrills with, their skillful manipulation of the bicycle, a form of amusement that is invariably interesting. "The Grain of Dust." Last season Jas. K. Hackett, took "The Grain of Dust," which will be at the Gennett October 15, and from it created a great success. In Mr. Glaser's appearance in the play this season, there is more than appearances on the surface. A personal and professional friendship between Mr. Glaser and Mr. Hackett, dating from their joint starring days under Frohman's "A Prisoner of Zenda," has led Mr. Hackett to grant Mr. Glaser valuable territory in the United States and Canada. Much publicity has been given "The Grain of Dust" before it was made into a play, thro' the medium of the Saturday Evening Post and its millions of readers. David Graham Phillips found an audience that waited eagerly for each development of the story. Mr. Phillips' dramatic death at the hands of a mad musician in New York's streets gave an additional zest of curiosity to "The Grain of Dust," and the story has, in 1 its present form, secured a wide popularity as the most dramatic of all Mr Phillips' novels. A Quaint Inn Sign. At Boxted. in Essex. England, there is a beer house with the strange sign of the Whig and Fidget. Inquiry elicited the fact that the noose was built niiiny years ago by a man who "was a Whig in his political opinions. His neighbors also regarded him as a "fidgety" man: hence when the house was opened the people of the parish, having regard to its owner's peculiar Ities, named it the Whig and Fidget, otherwise the Fidgety Whig.

Building a Reputation WHEN the first I H C tractor was planned, the idea was to have the new tractor fit into its work just as one well-cut gear meshes into another. All conditions of farm work were taken into consideration dusty fields, gritty sand, tough clay, and tougher sod. There must be protection from flying dirt. The power of the engine must not be wasted. The machine must be so simple that anyone could manage it. The need of repairs should be infrequent, and repairs easily made. This was the plan behind the building of IHC Kerosene-Gasoline Tractors How well the plan worked out is shown by the reputation that IHC tractors enjoy; a reputation built upon a steadily growing knowledge among farmers of the good work done by I H C tractors. The engine has no rapidly moving parts or delicate adjustments to be affected by dust, dirt, and grit. The simple gearing transmits a large percentage of engine power to the drawbar. IHC tractors are in use everywhere, in the hands of many men who are in no way machine wise." The value of an I H C tractor to a busy farmer lies in its many uses and its reasonable cost. It furnishes power for plowing, seeding, harvesting, threshing, hauling and for many kinds of belt and drawbar work. IHC tractors are now made in 12, 15, 20, 25, and 45-horse power sizes, to suit conditions everywhere. IHC general purpose engines for use in shop, mill, and factory, and on the farm, are made in sizes from 1 to 50-horse power.

SEEK RELIEF FROM THE CAR SHORTAGE (National News Association) LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Oct. 10. E.

They declared that the greatest car shortage in history faces the south because of ! the bumper crops. They said their j road will buy cars if they cannot get them otherwise. The First Skates. As late as the sixteenth century skates in England were very primitive, for we learn that the London apprentices used to tie bones to their feet and under their heels. Writing in 1GC1. Evelyn speaks of "the strange and wonderful dexterity of the sliders" in St James' park, "performed before their majesties by divers gentlemen and others with scheets, after the manner of the Hollanders, with what swiftnesse they pass, how suddnlnly they stop in full carriage upon the ice."
