W frset little g t Surcharges imposed Washington. npon railroad passengers using Pullman facilities were held by the interstate commerce commission to be Justifiable and railroads were authorized to keep the practice in effect. The approval of the surcharge, under which every passenger engaging Pullman accommodations pays to the railroad an amount equivalent to 50 per cent of the Pullman charge, resulted from the first step of an vestigation into the earnings of the Pullman company and the terms of its contracts with railroads! The decision declared that the investigation had not ' proceeded far enough for the commission to express conclusions as to te ge.erai reasonableness of Pullman charges, but that the surcharge had justified itself, i "When the time comes for requiring thd railroads to accept less passenger revenue than they now received, those who experience the relative discomfort of ordinary coach travel, many of them because they must count the pennies, rather than those who select the most expensive and luxurious form of transportation which modern railroads afford, are clearly entitled to prior consideration, the majority opinion said. This showing justifies the conclusion that at least there is less warrant for eliminating the surcharge than for reducing the basic passenger fare which applies even to travel in mixed trains of freight and pas- senger cars." The commission was split up in its Aitchison and findings, Chairman Commissioner Esch although concurring, proposed that the surcharge should be cut in half, while Commissioner Lewis advocated that the form of the extra charge be changed and that Pullman passengers should be required to pay 10 per. cent more than day coach travelers. Commissioner McChord dissented without stating reasons, while Commissioner Campbell and other dissenting members declared that it was not reasonable or fair to the traveling public to permit a general charge of this character to stand when so much of it accrues to lines that do not need it." Commissioner McNanamy, in a third dissent, declared that the extra cars expense of hauling Pullman should in part be assessed against the Pullman company. In the absence of J. B. Elliot, Salt Lake district representative of the Pullman company, other officials declined to make any comment when advised of the dispatch from Washington to ' the effect that the interstate commerce commission had sustained the socalled surcharge being collected by the Pullman company from its patrons, beyond stating that this charge has been the subject of more or less protest ever since it was first levied. It was explained that Mr. Elliot might have a statement to make upon his return from Ogden, where he went to confer with F. L. Wood, assistant general manager of the Pullman company, who is en route to the west coast. 1 Judge Commits Suicide Richmond, Va. Judge Frederick Wilmer Sims, G3, president of the Virginia supreme court of appeals, ended his life in his hotel apartment here, shooting himself in the head with a shotgun when Mrs. Sims went out to mail a letter. Judge Sims had been suffering for several weeks from a nervous breakdown, it was said, and was contemplating a trip to Florida. Despondency over his health was the only cause suggested for his act at the inquest conducted by the city coroner. Old Man Renews Lease Rome.

On a shelf out of sight in a corner he found the half filled bottle of strychnine. How or when the poison got there Dr. Dye does not know. He has been connected with the college of pharmacy for more than thirty years and he says that he has no recollection of ever having seen any such bottle of strychnine before. Science was called upon to unravel the mysteries of its own teachings and furnish a solution to the doling out of death laden concoctions to university students who sought higher learning in its branches. Police and learned professors are faced not only with determining the cause for the death of the two students an sudden and' mysterious illness of a half dozen others, but must find a motive for crime if it is found that poison capsules were intentionally administered to the victims. Analysis has revealed that strychnine caused illness of some of the. students and traces of the ' deadly poison were found in the vital organs of one who died. Possessed with these facts, the authorities have begun a search for a intellectual of the youthful type, who might have killed for the joy of killing; who calmly administered poison to determine its effect. There is no motive, officials agre. Sixty students in the medicinal department are to be questioned, but little hope is held that any worth while information will be gained. Police believe that a person possessed of learning as to administer the poison would be artful enough to evade questions. Suspicion is directed toward no one, police and university officials insist This case has not advanced to that stage. Work Approvce Appointments Washington.
