WASHINGTON. June 26.—A deluge
of petitions flooded the Interstate
Commerce Commission today. In ad
dition to three or four of the usual
character, thirty-seven complaints
were filed with the commission in
one class of cases, the greatest num
ber ever presented in one day In the
history of the commission.
The thirty-seven complaints de
veloped from one case recently de
cided by the supreme court of the
United States. The case grew out of
a complaint filed several years ago by
the National Yellow Pine Association
against a large number of railroad
lines in the southeastern territory of
the United States. It was alleged that
the railroads .were exacting excessive
rates on shipments of yellow pine to
various points of the country. The
cage was_heard by the commission
cry exhaustively and In a decision
which was handed down by Commis
sioner Clements, the contention of the
complainants was upheld, and the
railroads were ordered to reduce their
ates.
The railroads carried the case to
the courts and it finally reached the
supreme court b fthe United States.
In a decision handed down a few
weeks ago, that tribunal held in effect
that the decision of the Interstate
Commerce Commission was just and
reasonable and that It must be re
spected and enforced.
Following this decision, individuals
and corporations engaged in the yel
low pine lumber industry in the south
and southeast have instituted com
plaints before the Interstate Com
merce Commission against practically
all of the railroad lines In the south
eastern territory demanding repara
tion for the amounts paid by them to
tho railroads in the excessive freight
charges.
While thirty-seven of these com
plaints were filed today It is expected
that many more will be submitted to
the commission «In a few days. The
amounts of reparation in the thirty-
seven complaints vary from a few
hundred to many thousands ot dollars
and aggregate S4S6.230.
been raised to 20 cents hocaute of the
new $2,000 license, and that amount
was too much to spend on a stranger,
he thought. His refusal was a deadly
insult. Mary Jane remembered tha:
during the last stay on the gang she
had picked up a fresh hatch of profan
ity and she lifted the lid. The officer
who arrestel her said it was awful the
wav she tailed. She goes back to the
gang to eat her share of cowpeas at
$2.50 a bushel, or will pay $10.

TOLD IN TABLOIDS.
Licking Postage Stamps.
From the Yonkers Statesman.
Licking postage stamps Is a common
practice. Illness traceable to this
cause is rare, but it does sometimes
occur, says a physician. But aside
from the disease-germ theory of ab
staining from this practice, it is not
cleanly nor necessary.
It 1? easier and safer to lick the en
velope. or moisten the corner of it with
the finger tips and water, and then ap
ply the stamp. A wet handkerchief
will dampen the envelope sufficient to
make the stamp adhere.
While great care is taken in prepar
ing the mucilage that is put upon
postage stamps, it is impossible to Irt-
sure the perfect health of the persons
who handle them. An employe with
an inoculable disease might spread his
ill condition through a whole country.
