Stubbs Opposes Increase of Railroad Rates. COULD BUILD MAIN LINE CHEAP roo Much Juggling With Stock Railroad Business Should be Con ducted Like a Bank-Favors Fair Dividends. Chicago. -Presentation of evi dence by the shippers who are op posing the proposed advance in freight rates was given before the interstate commerce commission with the testimony of Gov. W. R. Stubbs, who declared his opposition to an increase in rates and his be lief as a practical builder of rail roads that valuations have been placed at too high a point. "I'll put up a million dollar bond," said the governor, "that I can con struct a main line railroad in Ken sas, up-to-date line too, for $25,000 a' mile and make 10 per cent profit." The lowest estimate of railroad building offered by the railways is more than double the governor's estimate. Governor Stubbs time after time jumped from the role of witness to that of cros&t-queslioner.' At one point in the cross-exami nation by T. J. Norton, attorney for thc Santa Fe. Gov. Stubbs declared: "Now let me tell you something. There is not as much risk in build ing a railroad in a good territory as in starting a bank. I don't think the roads need preferential rights; they can make money as they are and they should be run on the' same business sbasis as a bank." Later Gov. Stubbs again stood up, and, punctuating his words with blows on the bench beside him, said: "The railroads ought to be allow ed lo make 5 or 6 per cent oh their actual investment and also lay aside a nice surplus for emergency use. But they ought not to invest that emergency surplus from time to time in permanent improvement and then add it to the capitalization. "Every business man ought to have a surplus for a rainy day and the railroad should, loo. "I don't think that $25,000,000 is too great 'an amount for the Santa Fe as an emergency fund for a bad year or a washout but keep ? that i'und separate and don't capitalize it. The people will be pleased to pay the railroad liberal returns on their actual investments if they will only stop stock juggling." At one point in his testimony Gov. Stubbs said: "The curse of business * in this country is the stock juggling and high finance. Stop this high finance. Make every dollar of cap italization represent a dollar in vested in the road and people will fall over themselves to buy railroad stocks and bonds." Showman in Serious Trouble. Charlotte, N. C.-Before a Ur ?Led States commissioner here cases were continued until November 7 against J. W.

OLD LAND SUIT IN COURT Controversy Which Has Raged For Generations Now Before Su- > preme Tribunal of U. S. Washington. - The controversy ?vhich has raged in Kentucky for generations over the validity of so called "blanket" grants of land by Virginia, the mother State, and even Kentucky itself, during the early years of statehood, came before the supreme court of the United States for decision. Title to lands now said to be worth at least .$10,000,000 are involved. Originally some of the land was procured at two cents an acre. Arguments were made as to the constitutionality of the Kentucky statute under which it claimed a forfeiture of the title of thousands of acres of land. Louis Brandeis Weihle and Z. T.

Notwithstanding the declara ion of the Law Enforcement Lea gue'of Memphis, who, through Af een of its members,- appeared as omplaints, that their appeals to >tate and local authorities for re Iress had been unheeded, Judge JcCall held that prosecution hrough grand jury indictments vas the proper recourse and was lill open. In answer to the allega ion that the constituted authori ses of the Stale were not in.syru lathy with the prohibition laws as nacted and had-refused lo act on nformation furnished, he cited im leachment proceedings as a method hrough which their removal from iffice might bc accomplished. The opinion denied that the dantiffs had established the fact hat their constitutional rights vithin the meaning of the fnur eenth amendment lo the Federal onstitulion, on which the litigation lad turned, had been violated and lenoted that without this fact bo ng fully proveo, controversies be ween citizens of a State properly lelonged in the Slate courts.

Chicago.-In the face of steady decline in the price of hogs and corn on which they are fed, .Chica goans who desire to eat bacon have discovered that they were compell ed to pay the highest price ever ob tained for the salt meat in times of peace-35 cents a pound sliced. If the housewife was willing to cut it dp herse?f she might have reduced this figure to three pounds for $1, but that was the best she could do. It is up, and to all appearances, will stay at this record-smashing figure for some months. The sole reason for this situation, according to C. W .Foster, the veteran provision dealer, lies in the shortage of bacon producing hogs. No matter what the facts might seem to indicate, said he, the diffi culty lies in thc inability of the packers to buy the porkers. OLD MAIDS ARE LUCKY.

There is a desk in the senate par ticularly convenient as a place from which to make speeches. It is next to the aisle and almost In the center of the chamber, and affords an opportu nity for the speaker to make every body hear. At least a dozen senators, accord ing to the Washington correspondent of the St. Louis Star, have borrowed this desk when they had special utter ances to deliver to the senate. This led, not long ago, to a mild protest from its legitimate occupant. "I am perfectly willing to give up my desk," said he, "but I am afraid people will think that the same man is v talking all the time. I don't want to get the reputation of .constantly filling the senate with words." Youth's Companion. One of the Best Rest Cures. Is a good story. To many women it is as good as a trip away from home.
