Four persons were killed, fours seriously injured and two others barlly injured in a collission between an automobile and a Chesapeake and Ohio locomo tive today. its rates. Reason for this- position is that the state commission has no jurisdiction over interstate commerce busness. T-be transmission of hydroelectric power into Nod-rth Carolina over the Southern Power Company's lines is interstate business it is contended, since the current originates in South Garloina. Transmission of the power from one state into another takes from the eorpoi-atinon commission, it is argued, the right to fix rates. Attorneys for the power company nnnttn,i that all of the courts have previously settled the quesion as tc whether the corporation commission has jurisdiction and that until con gress enacts a law regulating the movement of electric current in. subject, in the absence of action by congress. is a local matter and sub ject to- local and state regulation.

Constantinople. March 21. Swind ling travelers in connection with pass port vises ihias become one of the fa vorite means of livelihood of minor officials in the orient and Balkan countries. !Mrs- J. H. K. Pollv. wif nf n liviner in .London, was recently a cistim of this fraud while traveling on the orient express, running from here to Paris. When the. train was passing from Bulgaria into Serbia, at 2 o'clock in the morning &n official in uniform representing himself as a Serb inspector, demanded to see her passport, informed her that the vise obtained at the Serb Legation in Constantinople was invalid and or dered her to leave the train. After protestation, he consented to accept $35 to let her continue her journey. She had already paid $30 for vises of her passport. Before leaving Constantinople many travelers are obliged to give large, sums to get vises which later may be declared invalid in this man ner. Since refugees from Russia are not wanted in other countries, where they become public charges, few pass ports are granted them officially but they, are furnished with proper pa pers for sums ranging from $20 to' $100. As these refugees are poor, they are often obliged to spend all but their traveling expenses for vises. Another form of swindle results from the general European laws against ..taking large sums of silver, gold or paper money of a given coun try into another. To prevent such traffic govern ments place officials' at frontiers who demand of each traveler the sum cf foreign cash on his person. If he de clares anything above the equivalent of $70, or some such modest sum. it is taken and a receipt given which he may cash, in money of the country on leaving it- Sometimes the inspec tor merely pockets the money, or will take a bribe to let the traveler proceed with all his cash. Americans of experience have naval curtailment. TO 1 DAMAGE CADSED BY FROST By thp Associated Press. Washington, April 13. Fruit growers affected by the recent freeze iwere ' advised by the agricultural de partment ' today to ascertain the damage to their orchards in order o determine what spraying will be needed. Peaches ar-e- reported to have suffered rnost from frost- checks or drafts and .thus avoid this annoyance. The oldest form of travel swindle takes the form of trains stopping due to lack of coal. Then tha train crew plays cards until .the passengers take up a collection with which to buy coal. This swindle has been improv ed upon. An official takes up tickets, and then a second official, who de nounces the first one as a fraud, makes the passengers . pay a second time. This is confined tp local trains. TO OPEN SOUTHERN MINES -Washington, April 13. The ques tion of seeking action hrough con-; gress to assist in opening abandoned' mines of the south will he discussed hre April 18 by representatives of the mineral division of the Southern .Tarill Association with the house jiways and means committee.
