AGAINST ARBITRARY ACTS Ray Legislature Acted Without Learning Whether Reduction J'air Improved Facilities More Needed Than Low Rate. - ' SPRINGFIELD. 111.. Oct. 10 'Ask the crooks of NVw Tork about It. Do not ask them whom they are for. Ask them whom they are against. Then you will 3em th truth." tjovernor fharlen K, Hughes, of New Tork. arriving; after an all-niffht run from Wehh City. Mo., in a speech here today, opened a discussion of railroads with particular reference to his veto of the S cent fare bill in New York State. lie made other atops In Illinois at Jjncoln. Floominirton. Pontine and Joliet. The Hutches special ts scheduled to reach Chicago ton'ght. where Mr. Hughes in a speech will complete his tour of the Middle West stales. Mr. Hughes said hre in part: Against Arbitrary Action. "I have been asked why I vetoed the Scent faro bill. I will tell you. 1 do not believe in arbitrary legislative action. I believe in compelling the discharge of public obligations. In giving adequate and impartial service at reasonable ratea and a rigorous insistence on the perform ance of public duty. But we have large enterprises connected with our public service whic h are of vital Importance to the Interests of the people. Our railroads are our arteries of com merce, fpon thnlr ernclency all classes In the community are dependent. We want Improved facilities, new stations. l.tter trackage and Increased car facili ties. We want freights moved promptly. We want passengerf service of the best. Thousands of worklngmen are dependent upon the efficiency of our railroad en terprises. Its unreasonable curtailment means loss, not only to commerce but to labor, and the Impairment of the thou aandfold activities of the community. "We must Insist upon reasonable rates. The legislature has the power to fir reasonable rates, but it has no power to attempt arbitrarily to reduce earnings unless It knows what it Is about. We provided machinery In New York so that matters might be Investigated and studied in advance of action, so that what was fair to be done could be ordered done. That was the reason for my ofiicial conduct In the caaa specified." AUSTRIA READY TO FIGHT (Continued From First Pag.) . Is still endeavoring to reach a settlement without recourse to a meeting of the signatories or the treaty of Berlin, fear ing that it will be Impossible to limit the scop of. the conference and establish the la.-ta upon which she and Turkey are in sisting. After the conference the two ministers had a long talk with Sir Charles Har ding, the permanent under-aecretary of the Foreign Office and former Ambassa dor to Russia, with whom they discuss ed Far Eastern affairs and the Anglo Russian convention. Sir Kdward and M. Iswolskv will meet again tomorrow, when King Bdward will receive the Russian representative at Buckingham Palace and later entertain him at dinner, and on Monday the discussion between the two ministers will be resumed at the foreign t'ffl.-e. The British Government is In receipt of advices from Belgrade that the Servian Government has taken the suggestion of the powers and is doing its best to quiet the radical element In the country, which Is clamoring for war. The situation in the Balkans has been found to be a very delicate one to handle, for Its ramifications have been far-reaching. Sir lid ward Grey had a busy day before the arrival of M. Iswolsky. the Greek minister being among the earlier rallers. He presented a proposal to Great Britain. France. Italy and Russia that the matter of the Cretan proclama tion of union with Greece be considered at the proposed international conference, simultaneously with the questions of Bul , garian Independence and the annexation by Aastrla-Hungary of Bosnia and Herze govina. In the reply to his proposal, how ever, the Greek Government was notified that until the legal status quo has been restored In the island of Crete. Great prliain cannot hold out any hope that the Tetan aspirations will be granted. The Italian Ambassador. Maniuis San Cuillano. called on the British Foreign P-cretarv. also, and conveyed assurances that his government was fully in accord witli Great Britain, and that there ought to be no departure from the conditions of the Berlin treaty without the knowl edge and assent of the signatories, and that a conference of the powers should be called. Still another Amhas.ta.lor. Count Wolff Meiternlrh. representing Germany, was among the visitors to the Foreign Office. He assured Secretary Grey that his gov ernment had no knowledge, previous to the notification given to the other powers, of the action of Bulgaria and America and that as a power Germany was not Interested- In the Balkans. Germany's main desire, he said, was to co-operate with the other powers with a view to bringing about a friendly solu tion of the question and maintaining peace. The feeliug is growing here that, as Bassta and Great Britain hold the same views concerning the actions of Austria-Hungary and Bulgaria, the way is clenr to a definition of the Russian proposal, but. unless the Rus sian Minister can show the, best of reasons to the contrary. Great Britain will insist that the conference be lim ited to a consideration of accomplished fa. ts. In the meantime Turkey has been ura-d to continue her prudent reserve. so long as the movements against her are confined to changes of the status In regions already effectively occupied by other powers, but not to tolerate any further encroachments. The dis patch of a British fleet from Malta to the Aegean Sea was decided upon for the purpose of encouraging Turkey to adhere ti this policy and to show the populations of other states, especially Crete, that the powers do not view favorably any movements against Tur key at the present moment. It Is believed In some of the capitals of k.urope. however, that Russian am bitions will not prevail here. Minister Iswolsky has frankly said to the Brit ish government that, when the crisis arose, he wns informed of the inten tions of Austria-Hungary, but that ha was not a consenting party thereto.

Servia has re plied to the Austro - Hungarian de mand for an explanation of her pur pose in summoning the reserves to the colors by granting that this step has no aggressive character. Speaking at today's session of the Austro-Hungarlan delegation. Foreign Minister Von Aehrenthal expressed the belief that he would be able to carry through the annexation of Bosnia and Heraegovina peacefully. He said that already he was negotiating with some of the powers with the view of smooth ing out existing diflcultiea. Baron Aehrenthals speech was conciliatory. "Both commercially and politically." the Foreign Minister said, "we have friendly and benevolent feelings toward Servla and theae the government is now ready to translate into action." Continuing, the Baron suggested that Servia and Bulgaria be Invited to appoint representatives on a European Danube Commission and secure concessions fa cilitating the passage of their vessels on the Danube. After declaring that the 9ervian gov ernment had ensured Austria-Hungary that Servia's conspicuous military meas ures were not aggressive in character, the Foreign Minister said that the further proceeding of the Servian government would be watched with the closest atten tion. He declared, however, that the Servian agitation in Bosnia and Herze govina 'would not be allowed to continue. In conclusion Baron von Aehrenthal said: "I hope that the people of Servia will come to realize their actual position and adopt a more sensible attitude. We will regiilate our attitude toward Servia in accordance with Servia's attitude to wards us. Russia can be assured that her interests will be treated by us In an absolutely friendly manner, provided she adopt a proper line of conduct. TURKEY RESERVES RIGHTS Tells Austria She WlllsXot Give Vp Annexed provinces. CONSTANTINOPLE. Oct 10. Accord ing to the best information obtainable here. Turkey's reply to Austria-Hungary's imperial proclamation annexing Bosnia and Herzegovina was aa follows: "The Ottoman government has weighed with all the attention they deserve the arguments set forth In the proclama tion of Austria-Hungary. and as In duty bound It cannot accept the views of the Imperial and royal government In fact, the administration of Bosnia, in Its present form. Is based upon Article 2? of the Treaty of Berlin, aa well as the convention of Constantinople of 1878. which was Its sequel. "The diplomatic accounts clearly define the nature of Austria-Hungary occupa tion and administration of the above mentioned province and the maintenance of the Ottoman sovereign right, and no derogation to any of these acta can be effected without the unanimous consent of Turkey, the sovereigns of these coun tries and the other high contracting pow ers. The Ottoman government must, therefore, of necessity, reserve all rights which result in its favor. from the inter national treaties, and must protest by which we free ourselvus from these bonds."
