FRENCH TWINS RIVAL FAMED SIAMESE TWINS

Susanna and Madeline are the most remarkable babies in the world! They are twins, tied together, face toward, face, by a tissue of flesh in which there seems to be no blood. They were born six weeks ago at Champagne, France, and have been attracting the close attention of the entire flower of the world's medical [image] profession ever since. Theirs is said to be the most astonishing case ever known.

nyH .J.J. ' VV - : -imi ' '-. -- .V::rw-J, i THE ORIGINAL SIAMESE TWINS Kng and Chang, the original Siamese twins, were born in 1S11 in Slam. Their mother was half Chinese and half .Siamese. Their lather was Chinese. Americans purchased them from their parents and exhibited them for many years in this country. They were joined together on their side by a piece of Uesh about seven Inches long, four Inches broad and two Inches thick. One was irritable and the other was very mild tempered. They died at the age of 63. In 1911 Eucio and Simplico Godino, another set of these unnatural twins, were discovered in the Philippine islands and brought to this country to be operated upon. They were then three years old, but it was found that the severing of the flesh which bound them together would be fatal to them. They were fastened back to back.

! 'PLANT" RAILWAYS ID GET INCREASES

Commissioner Harlan in Decision Declares Corporations Dissipate Revenues to Get Freight of a Few Shippers. WASHINGTON. Jan. 2S. Many of the great corporations of the country have been guilty of rebating through the operation of "plant" railroads asking for an increased freight rate. Commissioner Harlan, who rendered tho opinion, declared that the railroads have been dissipating their revenues in an effort to get the freight of a few shippers and that the great corporations have mulcted the carriers of millions of dollars both in allowances and in free service rendered. The decision resulted from a petition by the corporations and railroads for a decision from the interstate commerce commission on the legality of establishing "placV railroads to run to the intersecting points of main lines. The commissioner declared the organization of these railroads was "an unlawful device adopted by tho authorities for the purpose of securing rebates from tho published rates and rebates in service and other undue and unreasonable advantages." The report states "plant" railroads are small tracks with a meager equipment which surround steel plants and other factories doing a large freight business. The railroads have been duly chartered, although they are unable to conduct a railway business except as it relates to their own freight. Having thus organized the "plant" railroads demanded that the main lines give them a division of freight rates. Under this method, the report recitos, the Pennsylvania railroad was compelled to pay $1,109,910; the NewYork Central $660,057, and Commissioner Harlan says: "In many cases the cash revenues received by the "plant" railroads were sufficient to lift from them the entlro cost of their operation." In addition to cash payments under the division arrangement, the report states, the industries received a valuable service from the railways in the form of extra hauling on the "plant" railway tracks. E LIVES TO WIRELESS Distress Signals Call Two Steamers to Aid of Steam Yacht Wrecked on Rocks on Colombian Coast. NEW ORLEANS, La., Jan. 28. Mr. and Mrs. Frederick W.

Local officials of the United Fruit Co. late Tuesday night received a wireless dispatch statins that the passengers were safe, but no details as to what vessel they boarded were received.

The Almirante is bound for New York. This message aLso stated that the Warrior was resttnar In a fairly safe condition and probably can be saved when tugs arrive from Kingston, Jamaica. The Warrior is known to have been on the rocks for some hours, but it was only Tuesday nisrht that he position became serious. Wrecking tugs were ordered by wireless from both Kingston and Colon. A heavy storm arose this evening and fearing for the safety of the craft, tho "S O F" call was sent out.
