On* Purpose l« to Get In Closer Touch
With Railways and Shipper*—Elimi
nation of GracU Crossings Urged.
Maaaures Agalnat Trespassera Sug
gntod.
Railroad commlssioua of fire states
met In Chicago the other day and or
"j ganlzed a permanent association to be
known as the North Central Assocla
v tlon of Railway Commissioners. The
5 object of the association is declared
to be "the consideration of matters of
mutual Interest to the association and
to the public.**
.y.^' The states represented are Illinois,
Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin and Inli
y ana. The movement was started by
the commission of the state of Michi
gan, and C. L. Glasgow of that body
Iras selected president of the assocla
tion. Commissioner W. H. Boys of
Illinois was elected vice president and
'ff William Kllpatrlck secretary. The
headquarters of the association will
be in Chicago, and meetings fire to be
held at the call of the chairman or
upon the request of any commission
i1 which is a memt»er of the association.
The movement is regarded by many
one of the most important since the
'M creation of railroad commissions, says
the Chicago Record-Herald. In the
dlacuaaion preceding the organization
I It was agreed that there is too little
uniformity in the action of the vari
•M ons state commissions and that gen
xm erally speaking what, is of Interest to
the shippers and the railroads of one
state is equally interesting to those of
another.
It la also admitted that there is
lack of sympathy and understanding
between the commissions and the rail
roads, and it Is desired to get In closer
toooh with both the railroads and the
shippers. It Is also hoped that the
.scope of the organization may be en
jf^larged to Include many commissions
~v-and that other organizations of similar
^character may be perfected to consist
£3of the commissions which have kln
"J-jdred Interests by reason of their terri
torial grouping.
As a beginning the association Is di
recting Its attention to the elimination
of grade crossings and to the subject
of trespassing on American railroads.
Reports on both subjects were made
by commltt«Hs appointed some months
ago when a preliminary organization
was perfected The committee on
grade crossings, of which Commission
er Woods of Indiana Is chairman, re
ported that such crossings should be
eliminated, but the members were at
a loas to know how the movement
could be accelerated.
TSj In Indiana, for example, there are
more than 7,000 unprotected grade
crossings and nearly 20,000 In Illinois.
|i lt would cost the railroads at least
$280,000,000 In the former state and
twice that much in the latter to ellml
innate these crossings. In Indiana the
railroads hnvc spent only $2,000,000 In
1,
the last five years in eliminating those
crossings, but during the coming year
,000.000.
that future
crossings at grade should not be per
raltted, that the state commissions
^should be given the power to deal
wlth the separation of grades and to
"'••n apportion the cost between the rail
roads and the municipalities, that
laws should be passed requiring the
W', railroads to do away with a certain
proportion of grade crossings every
%year and that the slaughter of people
at such crossings had been properly
.characterised "the great American
-4- crossings, but during the com

they are expected to spend ft,

ACTION IS UNANIMOUS
Preamble of Resolution Adopted De
clares That the Plain Meaning of
the Language Used in His Annual
Message Is That a Majority of the
Congressmen W«rt ia Pear of Be
ing Investigated.
Washington, Dec. 18.—Chairman
Perkins of the house special commit
tee appointed to recommend a course
of action relative to the suggestions
of the president in his annual mes
sage concerning the secret service, to
which members of congress have
aki n exception, presented the report
jt that committee at tho beginning of
the session of the house. The report
recommends the adoption of a resolu
tion calling upon the president to sup
ply the house with the evidence upon
which he based his statement that
the members of the house were prin
cipally concerned over the fact that
the secret service men had been in
vestigating members themselves. The
house adopted the resolution without
a dissenting vote and after very little
comment. Mr. Cockran of New York
suggested that it should be made ap
plicable to congress as a whole and
not merely to the house, but the
change was not made.
In the preamble to the resolution it
is declared that the plain meaning of
the president's words is "that the ma
jority of the congressmen were in fear
of being investigated by secret serv
ice men and that congress as a whole
was actuated by that motive In en
acting the provision in question.** The
text of the resolution follows
Request Is Definite.
"Resolved, That the president be
requested to transmit to the hous^
the evidence upon which he based his
statements that the 'chief argument
in favor of the provision was that the
congressmen did not themselves wish
to be investigated by secret service
men* and also to transmit to the
house any evidence connecting any
member of the house of representa
tives of the Sixtieth congress with
corrupt action In his official capacity
and to inform the house whether he
has Instituted proceedings for the
punishment of any such individual by
the courts or has reported any such
alleged delinquencies to the house of
representatives."
In reporting the resolution Mr. Per
kins said it had been recommended
unanimously by the special committee
and said that as soon as the president
should send In any information in his
possession the committee would make
another rejcrt for the consideration
of the house.
Mr. Williams said the committee
would Impartially report upon "this
seemingly unprovoked and unjustified
attack upon the honesty and reputa
tion of the legislative branch of the
government.
"So far as the committee knows,'
said Mr. Williams, "there is not a
scintilla of evidence to support that
statement by the president. The com
mittee has thought it would be fair to
the president to give him further op
portunity to produce testimony if he
has any. The American people havf
a right to know if the American con
gress be corrupt."
Mrs. McRanef's Experience
Mrs. M. McRsney, Prentiss, Miss.,
writes: "I was confined to my bed for
three months with kidney and bladder
trouble and was treated by t»o physic
ivns but failed to get relief. No human
tongue can tell how I suffered, and I
had given up hope of ever getting well
nntil I began taking Foley's Kidney
Hemedy. After taking two bottles I felt

AFFECTING MARINE CORPS
Senator Rayner Wants Executive Or
ders Investigated.
Washington, Dec. 18.—Sonator Ray
ner has introduced a resolution call
ing upon the committee on military
affairs to investigate the series of or
ders promulgated by the president in
relation to the marine corps, which
recently was detached from the bat
tleships. In his resolution Mr. Ray
ner asked that the committee report
whether congress has not the right to
prescribe a set of rules for the govern
ment of the marine corps which will
bind the president, as commander-in
chief of the army and navy, to con
tinue the corps in the purpose intend
ed by law.
At the request of Senator Hale the
resolution was referred to the commit
tee on naval affairs, the marine corps
being a part of the naval organiza
tion. Mr. Rayner said he had no ob
jection to this order, as he had named
the military committee because he
had understood that the president had
transferred the marine corps from bat
tleships and made of the men policf
men, patrolmen, Janitors or some
thing like that.

—THE
A Valuable Tip
After exposure or when you feel a

cold from your system. It cures the
most stubborn coughs and colds, and
prevents pneumonia. J. 11. Anderson.
Rheumatism
I have found a tried and tested cure for Rh»u
•natism! Not a remedy thnt will straighten the
iistorted limbs of chronic cripples, nor turn lmny
irowth9 bo.clt to flesh again. That is impossibly.
But I can now surely kill the pains and pangs of
:his deplorable disease.
In Germany—with a Chemist in tha City of
Darmstadt—I found the last lnjfredient with
which lr Shoop s Rheumatic Remedy was made
a perfected, dependable prescription. Without
that last ingredient, I successfully treated many,
many cases of Rheumatism but now. at last, it uni
formly cures all curable cases of this heretofore
much dreaded disease. Those sand-like granular
wastes, found in Rheumatic Blood seem todissolvo
and pass away under the action of this remedy as
freely as does sugar when added to pure water.
And then, when dissolved, these poisonous wastes
freely pass from the system, and the cause of
Rheumatism is gone forever. There is now no
real need—no actual excuse to suffer longer with
out btlp. We sell, sad in cotitideuce rnoommnd
