Every Line in Country De fendant Before Interstate Commerce Commis sion. Washington, April 21. — Every 1 railroad in the country was a de- ; fendunt in the hearing to lay be- \ fore the Interstate Commerce ' Commission in a proceeding ; institute by the National Bag gage Committee attacking as illegal and unjust the express baggage rates exacted by the carriers. To an extent, likewise, every traveler, who carries bag gage in excess of 150 pounds is a party in interest. Four years ago the railroads increased their charge for excess 1 weight of baggage from 12 1-2 per cent of the first class pas senger fare to 1(51-2 per cent. Commercial travelers par ticularly contended that the rate was unwarranted and unreason able. Testimony was introduced today to show that commercial travelers in England were per mitted to carry 33(5 pounds of baggage on a first class ticket and in Canada 300 pounds. The complainant committee urged the commission to restore the former rateof 121-2 per cent of first class fare on excess bag gage with a minimum of 2") cents. disposed of but no sentences have, so far, been pronounced. One of the most important eases to be tried is that of D. G. Wagner, charged with the responsibility of Elkin's dis-1 astrious fire last December,! which comes up today. It will probably take three days to try [ the case, as there is a large number of witnesses and an array of able council. Right Here !s Your Chance To Buy That Typewriter! This is a Straight=from=the=Shoulder Typewriter Talk by a Typewriter Man to the Readers of the Reporter.

Look at the illustration of our New Fox Visible Typewriter, shown above, and compare it with anv other typewriter you have ever seen or usi d. Here is a really VISIBLE typewriter --note that the printing point is on top in plain sight, and that the type bars rise from where they are lying and strike the platen in full view of the operator, and in a direct line of vision, and that all of what you have written remains in full sight until the paper is removed from the typewriter. Compare this with those old style typewriters, that some firms are still advertising as visibles, but on which the printing point is beneath the typebars, and you have to look down into them—or between them-to see what you have written. Touch a key in the keyboard and you change the color of your writing instantly from black, blue, or purple to red. Press the Tabulator Key at the left (in front) for paragraphing, writing the compli mentary closing, etc.: also for all kinds of billing. At the right (in front >is our Back Space Key. This moves the carriage backward for making corrections, or putting in punctuation. This key also enables the operator to erase a word of three letters and write one of four in its place. Press the Stencil Key shown at the left (front) for making stenoils from which thousands of duplicate letters can t.e made. Four rows of keys reduce the shifting one-third. The right Shift Key locks automatically for writing in all caps. A positive automatic Line Lock prevents you from writing beyond a predetermined line. The ribbon travels in a "zig-zag" line—not straight across from spool to spool as on others—thus using all of the ribbon and making it last three or four times as long as on other typewriters. The ribbon automatically re-winds itself from one spool to the other without any attention from the operator. Carriages are interchangeable, and run on ball bearing tracks. Platens are re movable, so that both a hard and soft platen can be used on the same typewi iter. Extremely light touch, "No falling leaf is lighter than the touch of the Fox Typewriter." Choice of Elite, Pica, Condensed Roman, Medium Roman, or Italic Type—we carry more than three thousand special type in stock, of our own manufacture, and can furnish keyboards for any language.
