Seventy-five young men, students of MeKendree college, made a hurried exit yesterday from their dormitory, Carnegie Hall, to avoid being quarantined there over the holidays. A case of scarlet fever was the cause. Mayor Robinson, overriding the advice of City Attorney C. H. Chamberlin and Or.

J. IS. Scruggs, who was attending the patient, was determined to quarantine the dormitory, with all that it contained, and headed for the college with that purpose. The students, apprised of his approach, jumbled belongings into suit cases and fled. G.

W. Creed, a member of the Lebanon board of health, who accompanied Robinson, says the horizon was fringed with heels and suit cases as they approached and that some the students jumped from the windows. Gilbert Harmon, a nephew of President John F. Ilarnmn had been sick several Yesterday morning Dr. Scruggs diagnosed his disease as sear-let fever.

Mayor Robison, as chairman of the board of health, heard about it and set about quarantining the dormitory, although the doctor advised that quarantining Harmon's room would be sufficient. Ho summoned Creed and they started to the college to placard the dormitory. The term had been brought to a close for the Chris-inas holidays ahead of time on account of the student's sickness and the students were getting ready lo go home. They expedited their preparations amazingly and when Robinson arrived with his placards he found the building empty, with the excep tlon of the sick student, the matron and the nurse. The mayor conceding that there was not, much use of quarantining the vacated rooms, contended himself with placarding the occupied part of the building.

There was. noj disposition to quarantine the girl's dormitory, some distance away, and the girls departed in more leisurely, fashion.

ADMISSION 10c. GUS SCHLICHER FURNITURE -AND PROVES The Useful QMi Washington, Dec. 18. Increases in freight rates; approximating Ave per cent, on all the railroads between the Atlantic Seaboard and the Mississippi, north of the Potomac and Ohio Rivers, were granted today by the Interstate Commerce Commission, exceptions being made, however, as to certain heavy commodities which comprise a large bulk of the traffic. The opinion was a divided one.

The increases will further apply to the railroads west of Buffalo and Pittsburg, which were granted partial advances in the decision of last August which denied them altogether to the roads east of these points. It is estimated the advanced rates will increase the annual income of the roads about $30,000,000. The commission made its decision upon the of the railroads that in addition to conditions from which they previously asked relief, they now were confronted with an emergency because of, the war in Ku-rope. Harlart and Clements Dissent. With Commissioners Harlan arid Clements dissenting, the majority of the commission declared: "Whatever the consequences of the war may prove to be, we must recognize the fact that it exists; the fact that it is a calamity without precedent, and the fact that by it the commerce of the world has been disarranged and thrown into confusion.

The means of transportation are fundamental and indispensible agencies in our Industrial life and for the common wealth should be kept abreast of public requirements." War a Cause for Increase. Interstate rates to and from New England also may be increased not to exceed 5 per cent. While present existing differentials among various Atlantic ports are preserved the rates between any two of them also may be increased 5 per cent. The decision says: "While we differ as to the relative importance to be attached to the va rluus considerations presented, we agree in the conclusion that by virtue of the conditions obtaining at present it is necessary that the carriers' revenue Jjc supplemented by increases throughout official classification territory. "Whatever the consequences of the war may prove to be, we must recognize the fact that it exists, the fact that it is a calamity without precedent, and the fact that by it the commerce ot Ins world has been disarranged and thrown into confusion.

The means of transportation are fundamental and indispensable agencies in our industrial life, and for the common wealth should ho kept abreast of public requirements. "The original report, besides approving a rate increase in central freight association territory, suggested 10 sources of additional revenue for all carriers throughout official classification territory; the present report, recognizing the existence of a new situation since July 29, acquiesces in a territorial extension of the relief granted tu the Central Freight association line by permitting the carriers to file tariffs, providing with certain exceptions, specified herein, for horizontal rate increases in official classification territory. is expected that the constructive work suggested in the original report lor the purpose of conserving and augmenting the net revenues of the carriers geenrally will be' carried forward without interruption. "Carriers will be required to keep an account of the additions to their revenues from increases in rates subsequent to July 29, 1914, and from new charges and to report separately thereon to the commission at the end of 12 and 24 months, respectively' 12 Si ri i rpHIS YEAR; of all years, the usefu 1 gift will be the most acceptable gift.
