WICHMANN & CONRAD TGS 3te Former Kenilworth Man Is Blood Poison Victim Robert Beekman Dyar, veteran of the World war and a former resident of Kenilworth passed away at the Pres- byterian hospital Monday night, May 14. Death was due to complications result- ing from blood poisoning contracted from a cut suffered three years ago. Funeral services were held from the Kenilworth Union church, Wednesday, May 16. Although his parents left Kenilworth when Robert was still a boy, he made frequent visits to the village and enjoyed a wide acquaintanceship there. He at- tended the Joseph Sears grammar school and New Trier high school. Enlisting in the Navy in April, 1917, he soon after transferred to the 19th Pennsylvania Engineers and was among the first 40,000 Americans to reach France where he remained in active duty for two years, his mother passing away while he was overseas. Mr. Dyar was married in October, 1922, to Miss Minnie Cornelia Lewis, at that time a resident of Kenilworth. Mr. Fyar is survived by his widow, his father, Hugh H. Dyar, and a brother, Hungtington H. Dyar. High School to Present 'Hiawathas' Wedding Feast' "Hiawatha's Wedding Feast," char- acterized as a delightful cantata, is to be given by the combined New Trier High school music organizations this evening at 8 o'clock in the school audi- torium. The cantata will be under the personal direction of Mrs. Homer E. Cotton, supervisor of music at the high school. Charles E. Lutton of Evanston will sing two groups of songs as a special feature of the program. Contributing to the evening's enter- tainment will be the boys' and girls' glee clubs, the orchestra, and the high school chorus. There's one town in the United States where there are no horses. Wesley Rubgles is the man who dis- covered it. While in Palm Beach, Fla., recently directing scenes in Agnes Ayres' new picture, "The Heart Raider," he called for two horses to draw a chariot in a bit of symbolism, and his assistants had to spend a large part of the next day scouring the countryside to get a pair of suit- able steeds. TG10-1tc | MYSTERY PLAY WINS AUDIENCE "Alias Larkie" Scores Gen- uine Hit A shriek in the dark, the lowering of lights--the trapping of a jail bird with a priceless necklace in his hands; a murdered butler -- some missing securities--these were the elements that blended last Friday eve- ning at the Evanston Woman's club when Campus players presented "Alias Larkie," by Abram Mendenhall of Ev- anston. It was a worthy show, play- ed by a worthy cast. The customers got their money's worth of thrill from Mr. Mendenhall's play. Departing from the usual cus- tom, the central character was a mid- dle aged man--an ex-convict, who comes back to prove his innocence. What happens to him and to those who are interested in the case makes the story. Aside from a denounce- ment, which was a bit obvious, the tale was skillfully unfolded, and Mr. Mendenhall has another success to his credit. James Witherell played the title role--played it well. 1t was by far the best acting this veteran Campus thespian has yet done. The customers expected a meal and they got a feast. The part was evidently one Mr. Mendenhall created for himself, and Witherell fulfilled every specification. Miss Natalie Purcell of Evanston, Miss Jean Smith and Miss Hope Sum- mers made gestures which indicate an uncomfortable afternoon for many "legitimate" actors, if they take it into their head to go on the stage, while the noble Larry Hall, and William Woodruff, wearing a mus- tachio, in juvenile roles did them- selves proud. Respectively, they played the parts of an engaged girl, an old nurse maid, and a scheming adventuress; the men were an en- gaged man, and his pal, who attempt the solution of the mystery. The man who does the dirty work, Arnold Chapin on the stage, and William Ewing on the campus, did his bit well. "Everett B. Fox, who managed the production, played the part of the coroner. Millard Smith played Tom Burton, the policeman. Expect 500 Students in New Trier Summer School According to the present indications, this year's summer school registration at New Trier high school will pass the five hundred mark. The summer school bulletin just published, indicates that several new courses are to be offered this year. This list includes Chemistry, Commercial Geography, Mechanical Drawing, Penmanship, Solid Geometry, Trigonometry, and additional courses in French and Spanish. Whether or not all of these courses will be given will depend entirely upon the number of pupils registering. "The only way to make sure that a course which you would like to take this sum- mer is to be offered, is to register now," is the bulletin's word to prospective students. "You will be given an oppor- tunity to change or withdraw this regis- tration if necessary." Sessions are held only in the morn- ings. Wilmette Violinist Scores in Recitals Last week, Milan Lusk, Wilmette violinist, played in Indiana Harbor, Ind. with marked success. The recit- al took place in the Methodist church and every seat available was taken. As usual many encores were demand- ed and after the performance, the program chairman of the Gary Wom- an's club engaged the violinist for a recital in Gary for November 5. Mr. Milan Lusk was engaged as a special attraction for the yearly musicale given by the Daughters of Indiana at Recital Hall in the Fine Arts Build- ing, Chicago, on May 1. Besides his extensive concert work an announcement has been made that Milan Lusk will conduct a special summer course at his Wilmette resi- dence.

Ouilmette K. of C. Nine - Drops One To Avalons Ouilmette Council, Knights of Co- lumbus baseball nine suffered its first defeat of the season last Sunday when the north shore men succumbed to the Avalon A. C's at the Ridge av- enue lot, 10 to 8. Heinzen did mound duty for the first time this year but vacated the box in the sixth fdame when the visitors chased over 3 runs to break a 3 to 3 tie. Miller, who succeeded him, was touched for a quartet' of markers. § Belated rallies in the eighth and ninth innings helped the locals to all but knot the score. ; The Maywood A. C's will hook up against the Ouilmette crew Sunday at the Lake and Ridge avenue dia- mond. On the following Sunday the strong Iroquois club team will play here and the Silent A. C. aggrega- tion of deaf-mutes will be seen on the local field on Decoration Day.

Freight Rates and Valuation Wide publicity has been given to the statement that the value of all the railroads of the United States does not exceed $12,000,000,000, and that if such valuation had been used during the past three years in making rates all freight rates, including those on farm products, would have been materially Oats A reduction of 2.1 per Chicago and North Western System C.5 P. M&O. Ry. That statement disregards the railroads' right under the Federal and State Constitutions to earn a fair return on the value of their property, and denies the validity of the valuation made by the Interstate Commerce Com- It also disregards the fact that the railroads during the 34 months prior to January 1, 1923, did not earn 4 per cent on $12,000,000,000, although authorized to earn 6 per cent on $18,900,000,000. If, however, a valuation of $12,000,000,000 had been made the basis for rates instead of the valuation found by the Commerce Commission and the reduction had only applied to freight rates, that reduction could not have exceeded 2.1 per cent of the rates collect in 1922. This conclusion is em- phasized by the following facts: GROSS FREIGHT REVENUES OF ALL CARRIERS FOR YEAR 1922 NET INCOME OF ALL CARRIERS FOR YEAR 1922.... RETURN ON ASSUMED VALUATION OF $12,000,000,000 EXCESS OF NET INCOME OVER THE RETURN ON THE ASSUMED VALUATION A deduction of this excess of $86,665,960 from the total gross freight revenues of $4,007,014,655 would have reduced the gross freight revenues only 2.1 per cent. If this reduction of 2.1 per cent had been applied to freight rates, with no reduction in passenger fares or other charges, it would not, in fact, have increased the amount received by the farmer for his products. GRAIN A reduction of 2.1 per cent in freight rates means nothing to the individual shipper unless expressed in units with which he is familiar and be large enough to be recognized in commercial dealings. & North Western Ry. Co.'s average haul and rates on grain were as follows: Average Rates Average Haul per Bushel 197 miles 7.14 cents 256 miles 7.25 cents 210 miles 3.29 cents LIVE STOCK Rates Reduction Reduction per Average Haul per Cwt. of 2.1% Animal, Cents 240 miles 23 cents 4.9 mills 49 210 miles 24 cents 5.0 mills 10 352 miles 26 cents 5.4 mills 0.5 A reduction of 2.1 per cent would have reduced the rates on cattle less than five cents, on hogs one cent, and on sheep.one-half a cent per animal, weight 1,000, hogs 200 and sheep 90 pounds. Such reductions mean little or nothing to the average producer of farm products, but a loss to the railroads of over $86,000,000. President I ni During the year 1922 the Chicago cent in this company's freight rates would, there- fore, have reduced its wheat rates 174 mills, its corn rates 175 mills and its oats rate 7-10 of one mill per bushel. Experience shows that grain does not vary in price at country stations by less than one-half cent per bushel and ordinarily by not less than one As a result, the assumed reduction in rates on corn and wheat of less than one-sixth of a cent per bushel would not have resulted in the increase of a single cent to the producer of grain. ....$4,007,014,655 776,665,960 690,000,000 86,665,960 Reduction per Bushel 1.5 mills 1.5 mills 0.7 mills assuming cattle
