Tho interstate commerce commis

istration railroad bill by tho house
committee on interstate commerce.
Representative Sisson of Missis
sippi has introduced in tho house a
resolution declaring tho fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments to tho fed
eral constitution to bo null and void,
and calling upon tho attorney gen
eral to submit tho question to tho
supremo court.
A Washington dispatch carried by
tho Associated Press says: "A curi
oub case of a charge for demurrage
by the Denver & Itio Grande Rail
road company against tho United
States government was, decided by
the interstate commerce commission
in favor of the governmont. A bill
of $440 for demurrage on various
carload shipments of cement intend
ed to be used by the reclamation
service was presented to the govern
ment by the railroad company. The
government refused to pay it and
brought a complaint against the road
in order to commission. In its opin
ion, Commissioner Prouty dissenting
tho commission held that the de
murrage charges were not assessed
in accordance with any provision in
the defendants tariff and therefore
did not constitute a valid claim
against the government."
Representative Olmstead intro
duced the new Porto Rico govern
ment bill. The bill is a legislative
novelty in the form of a declaration
of rights and is designed in itself
to serve as a constitution for that
island.
George W. Da Cunha, an architect
of upper Mont Clair, N. J., has writ
ten an open letter protesting against
the Gallinger bill to grant a federal
charter to tho Rockefeller founda
tion. The letter was received by
the senior senator from each state.
It sets forth that "the Incorporation
of Rockefeller's millions and the
granting of a charter by the United
States is a dangerous precedent
against public policy. It is stated by
Mr. Da Cunha that the placing of
tho accumulations of Rockefeller in
an incorporated body eliminates the
family and thenceforth thero can be
no inheritance tax collected from the
succession of this fortune.
United States Senator John W.
Daniel of Virginia suffered a slight
stroke of paralysis at Daytona, Fla.
The physicians say he will recover.
A joint resolution has been intro
duced in both houses of congress
providing for the appointment of a
commission of three senators and

pital after an illness of several weeks.

committee on postofflces and post
roads until a caucus of the republi

DE LAVAL
GREAM SEPARATORS
NOT THE
"MAIL ORDER" KIND
Tho World's Standard Do Laval
Cream Separators are not sold in
tho "mall order" way and there
fore not advertised with the big
newspaper space and big "word
claims" used to sell low grade
separators in that manner.
Part of tho money spent in
costly advertising and catalogues
to sell inferior separators in tho
"mall order" way is put into
vastly better made machines in
tho case of Do Laval separators,
and part of it into commissions
to local agents who look after
tho setting up of tho machine
and tho instruction of the buyer
in Its proper use, as well as the
prompt supplying of any needed
parts for It in tho years to come.
That's the difference In the
method of sale between the De
Laval and most other makes of
cream separators, of which the
De Laval buyer gets tho benefit
Instead of tho newspaper and
printer.
If you don't know the nearest
De Laval agent to you send for
a catalogue and his address.
The De Laval Separator Go.
