He promulgates his theory in a home of wealth, whose inmates are at sixes and sevens over everything in life, and he "fixes" things in a novel and surprising manner, altho that process almost ge'ts him into serious trouble. The story has numerous thrills and is filled with several anmzinjr surprises of the typical Fairbanks order.

In the fui-e of a giving courts jurisdiction over private fann iTOHsingrs. and in the face iif past holdings that it not hiive jurisdiction. state railway commission has held in an opinion prepared by Chairman T. L. Hall, that the commission jurisdiction uviv such matters.

It holds that private crossings may be unsafe to the traveling public and therefore come under the constitutional provision conferring power upon the commission 10 regulate service of railroads. Crossings are held to be ixirt of the railroad service. The commission therefore assumes jurisdiction over subway on the farm of Miss T.

Across Till passing trnck has constructed by thd railroad company, and this would interfere i the free us of a grade crossing much of the time.

The subway is thru frrade at a curve and nt the mouth of a cut. The railroad witnesses testified a they agreed u-ith the railway associa- tion and the national association of railway commissioners that KrHde crossinir! should be eliminated wherever and the expense is not too p'reat. The railroad company objected to the jurisdiction of the sUue commission on the ground that the matters involved are matters of private right, governed solely by statute and common law of the state of Nebraska and not within 1 jurisdiction of the commission. On this question the commission says: "The commission is of the opinion it has full and complete jurisdiction over the complained of, thru the broad prwer conferred upon it by thf constitution under which it was organized. The! constitution provides that: 'The powers and duties of such commission shall include the regulation of rates, service and general control of common carriers.

Service is the thins that the carrier has sell. The rates to be paid by the public is ihe price paid for service. Tho rates to be paid by (lie public is the pricv paid fur service. It is impossible to consider the adequacy of the service rendered to the public without considering all facilities necessary to render said service. In considering- factilities the commission must keep in initul the c-omfort, safety and convenience of the traveling- public, li must keep in mind that adequate service should be rendered Iho public with -i minimum of expense." It was admitted witnesses that 1 size of the subway was the only question in dispute between the road and tho complainant.

The cross, of course, wns a for another exploit. Captain Peterson was aVove tho German lines just at noon when lift saw- two bothe aviators approaching in the direi-lion oT-American fon-fts. lieinp alone he went to an altitude of 5.000 rnetern and waited for the hoches traveling below. The day was perfect flnd Die mmshinlng brightly and the atmosphere clear, but the, bodies did not see Peterson. AVIien the German fliers had passed, him the American dore vertically 500 meters HI the hindmost.

He got a bead on the boche who swerved quickly but a stream of bullets literally severed one of the wings of the Germa.n machine and it fell with the severed wing: fluttering; after It. brought down both bodies in five minutes. Within the hour Captain Kenneth Marr brought down a boche by plane machine.
