DEMOCRATS MAY REVOLT Continued lh From First Pw . b"ls trouble from In nrst day of his term as Speaker, for be wili then build up a Democratic Insurgency, and there will be enough Insurgent Democrats to thwart tha will of the Speaker and tha chosen Democratic House leaders. Just as the Republican Insurgents, by combining with the minority were able to override Speaker Cannon and his lieutenants. Democrats who are Inclined to Insurge If things do not go to suit them In the next House are saying that there Is no essential difference between Cannonlsm and Claxklsm. In case Clark undertakes to corral and exercise the powers which were so vigorously condemned when ex ircised by the present Speaker. These - Democrats are not content that these powers should be delegated to a Demo cratic Speaker, merely because they have heretofore been entrusted to Speak ers of both parties (for Speaker Crisp, of Georgia, bad all the powers held by Cannon and exercised them).

Testimony In stigated by George W. Perkins, of J. P. Morgan Ai Co., tho Nevr York syndicate that la suM to finance and control many railroads of the couniry, analytic excoria tion of manual and mechanical methods of railrouds and a discussion of scien tific principles of buslnce., were features of today's freight rale increase hearing.

The railroads wish to put In opera tion advances In rates on freight the country over, and In line with this view It was suggested that the part of tl-.e pol icy was to commit the htp!ng Interests to testimony tlwt there would be no com print If the advances were made. uni formly throughout the United State The trunk !ine presidents have 'asserted that the Increases are vital to their corporations. A delegation of officials from the Grand Rapids furniture Industry, In Michigan. appeared at the hearing. While voicing opposition to the present Eastern trunk lino advance plan, they testified that they would have no complaint to make if the Increases proposed wore not confined to one section, or otherwise d jicrimlnat'v. Morgan Move Disclosed. Then, through the prodding of Attorney .yon, of the Commission, It was dis closed and admitted by two of the men called by the shippers that the appear- nce of themselves and the other Grand Rapids people, representing many mil lions of dollars of investments, was at he suggestion of one of the heads) of the Morgan syrulloate. who thougiit that as matter of fairness the shippers should xpress their views. The testimony failed to show any sug gestion from Mr. Perkins Uiat the con- umers also- should present their views. Ithough If was intimated that if the railroads or ths shippers agreed aa to the sweeping Increases In freights of several thousand kinds across the conti nent, with an aggregate addition of mil lions to the rnJiroad earnings', the buruen would rcpt upon the consumers. Business Reforms Demanded. Henry M. Towne, a manufacturer and president of the Merchants AHociation of N?w York, contended the railroads should first put their own house In or der, as l't expressed It," that tiiey should Install mooern methods of buMnes.i, which was Just as feasible for them as for other industrleti. and that If scientific management could not produce economics to rae.'-t tne revenue needs, then he would join with them In their demand for rate Increases).

The struggle to obtain the Panama Canal exposition was transferred today to the convention of the Trans-MisslsslppI Commercial Congress, which opened to day In this city. Governor Jared Y Zanders, of Louisiana, urged the ad vantaarps of New Orleans, and Frank H. Gould, speaker of the California House of Representatives, spoke on be- lalf of San Kranclsco. Tho reception each speaker received ndicated that the Congress Is xllvlded on the subject of lending; Its Indorse xnent. Klamath Fa!L, Or., Is a new candl date for the twenty-second annual scs sion of the Congress. More than a thousand delegates are present at the session here, which was called to order by Fred W. Fleming of Missouri, chairman of the executive committee. Governor Campbell, of Texas, wel comed the delegates. President Ike T. Prynr then delivered his annual address. He spoke In part as follows: This section. of the country has never received the favorable consideration at he hands of our National Congress that the section east of the Mississippi ver has been accorded. Why Is this? It is because the manufacturing; dis tricts have had and held the reins of government, dominated and controlled both branches of our National Con gress. They have been thoroughly or ganized and able to present to the Na- lonal Congress In aunlted and Intel ligent manner an appeal for such pro tection and measures as they desired. "When the Trans-Mlssissippl Com mercial Congress was organized the population tn that area was about 16,- 75,364. Today we have a population f more than 25,540,488, a gain of al most 6.000.000 In the last 10 years, and 10.000.000 In the last 20 years, or 62 per cent. The largest per cent of this gain .was In the last 10 years. It will not be many years until tha teeming millions of the East will rely almost absolutely on tha West for the ecessltlea of life.

Speakers at the dinner tonlzht of the Railway Busi ness Association discussed the necessity for Increases In freight rates. Martin iV. Knapp, chairman of the Interstate Commerce Commission, urged a Na tional policy "in accordance with the enlarging spirit of altruism." Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore and Ohio, said that the railroads should keep out of politics. John Claflin, president of the H. ii. Claflin Company, of New York, a large wholesale merchant and Investor In a large number of retail stores, said that retailers would benefit In the end by a general Increase In freight rates to help the situation. . Mr. Knapp said that railway earnifigs should be sufficient for three things. First, a return on railway investments sufficient to attract necessary capital to Improve existing roads and construct the new ones that are essential to the country's development. Second the pay ment of liberal wages to an adequate number of competent men. Third, the betterment of existing roads without unnecessary Increase of present capital. Mr. Willard urged that discussion of the problem be "free from heat." "The roads," he said, "should recog nize in the future more than they have In the past that while they are under certain precise as well as Implied obli gations to their security holders, they are also charged with a public service to perform, and there are also certain clear and Implied obligations In that direction, among which Is this: To treat all alike, giving as full consideration as possible to all reason able requirements. In short, while giving full and proper consideration to the rights of the security holders, to give fair consideration also to the rights and feelings of the shipper. There had been too much resulsrting. Mr. Willard said. The ro;Us should have a. respite until they could work out some of the problems confronting them. After saving that railroads had reached a point where It seemed diffi cult to Increase gross revenues ma terially without very great expend! ture for betterments, that Investors were asking larger returns than In the near past, and that foreign In vestors especially were Inclined to be Indifferent to offerings or American roads. Mr. Claflin added: "I ask. then, will It be advantageous for the average merchant outside of New York to pay some Increase In freight rates to help the general situa tion? I think It will. A. retail busi ness amounting in sales 10 pernaps 11.000.000 per annum, located, say, be yond the Mississippi, may now pay Jl'5.- 000 for freight and express from the Fast. If freight rates should be raised is Der cent on the average It would pay $3000 additional to the railroads What would such a ousiness do jixeiy to galnT Let any merchant look back over his recoras ana mam ine years of general railroad extension and Im provement on the one hand, and the years of railroad retrenchment on tho other, and I am aure ne win una mat his prosperity on the average has In- reased with the progress of the rail roads and has waned with their lack of progress."

Confer ences between the special grand Jury and District Attorney Fredericks late today gave rise to numerous rumors that Indictments had been found In the Times explosion case.
