Leaders Seek Asylum With
Russian Cossack Guards.
St. Petersburg, July 21.—A dis-
patch from Tabriz, by courier post to
Julia, affirms that the shah's cause in
northern Persia is lost.
The artillery and ammunition which
were abandoned by Rachin Khan,
who was commander-in-chief of the
troops during his flight from Tabriz,
passed into the hands of the révolu
tionists, who are now in full posses-
sion of the city. The shah's palace
| has been turned into the revolution
ary headquarters.
j The reactionaries, who had taken
refuge in the Russian bank and the
Russian consul, M. I’ohitinoff, have
again retired to the consul's country
villa outside tile city, which is being
guarded by a large detachment of
cossacks. The casualties resulting
trout the recent bombardment ami
I lighting between the troops and rev-
olutionists were slight.

AVOID TRUST LAW
Railroad Companies Cannot Increase
Rates by Concerted Action.
Washington, July 20.—The interstate
commerce commission may take acti n
on the increased freight rates agreed to
at the meeting of the Southeastern
Freight association and the Southeast
ern Mississippi Yalley association, at
Louisville, Ky., Saturday, when the new
tariffs are filed with the commission by
| the roads having niemliership in these
I two associations. Action cannot be
taken by the commission on its own in
itiative or on the complaints of ship
pers or shippers’ associations. If the
interstate commerce commission should
find that the increase in freight rates
was nude through concerted action, and
that there was evidence that the Shcr-
man anti-trust law was violated, alien
tion will in all probability be called to
the matter.
In speaking of the powers of the in
terstate commerce commission where an
advance in freight rates has been made
by any railroad. Chairman Knapp, of
the commission, said:
"The railroads must file their tariffs
with the commission with 30 days’ no
tice of a contemplated change. Changes
in rates between competitive points must
be made simultaneously by all the roads
operating between those points. This
in a measure protects the shipper. When
a railroad files notice of an increase in
its freight rates the commission can on
its own motion make an investigation as
to the reasonableness of the advance.
“In a case where the commission acts
on its own motion, however, it cannot
issue an order. If a shipper makes a
complaint to the commission against a
railroad charging an unjust increase of
rates, each side is given a hearing, and
the commission can then issue an order
based oil its decision ill the case.”
Should it develop that the increase
was made through concerted action, the
commission would very likely refer the
matter to the attorney general. The
department of justice can also call upon
the c mmission to investigate as to the
reasonableness in rates.
PACIFIC COAST LOSER.
Transcontinental Shippers Claim Rate
Ruling Fatal to Oriental Trade.
San Francisco, July 20.—The South
ern Pacific and Santa Fe railroads and
the Pacific Mail Steamship company are
preparing to have a hearing before
the interstate commerce commission on
the question of transcontinental rates
for goods shipped across the Pacific
ocean. The new rule of the commis
sion compels the railroads to charge the
same price for these goods as for any
other, whereas it had been etist tnary
for the railroads to make this rate
cheaper to the steamship companies.
The information that the interstate
commerce commission has decided to
postpone until October the day on which
the rate would become effective, because
of a protest from Japan, has given the
railroads and steamship company time
to act.
The plea will be made to the inter
state commerce commission that steam
ers traveling thr ugh the Suez canal
will get the trade if the transcontinental
roads are not allowed to juggle rates
as they please. The steamers change
their rates often and quickly, they say,
and if the American railroads arc com
pelled to adhere to the published rate
they will lose this oriental business.

All Concerned Incur Penalty Under
Sherman Law As It Would
Be Violated.
Chicago, July 18.—A special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
In the opinion of John Clements, a
member of the interstate commerce
commission, the proposed general in
crease in freight rates discussed ir.
New York yesterday by the presi
dents of many eastern railways m
the Trunk Line association would
constitute a violation of the Sherman
anti-trust law and would render al!
the railroads concerned liable to se
vere penalties. Mr. Clements ex
plained that the interstate commerce
commission as a commission is not at
all interested in the Sherman anti
trust law, the execution of which is
entrusted to the department of jus
tice, but he expressed his opinion as
a lawyer and cited a recent instance
where the supreme court had so de
cided.
“As a lawyer,” he said, “I am will-
ling to hazard the opinion that such
an increase in rates as was contem
plated by the eastern railways at
their meeting in New York would be
in direct violation of the anti trust
law. When practically all of the
eastern roads, and,, for that matter,
ill of the roads in the country, by
a mutual agreement raise rates, it is
to my mind a procedure which brings
them
under
!
——. that clause
—j of the anti
trust law which prevents ‘pooling’ and
illegal combinations,
"Whether or not there is any neces
sity now for an increase of rates. I am
not prepared to say. If the increase
should come, the commissioners
would have ample time to decide that
point. I am convinced, however, that
the railways will give the anti-trust
laws caretui consideration before they
consider a general increase in rates.
"A similar case came up in Georgia
some time ago during some lumber
hearings. Federal Judge Speer de
cided that the railroads had formed
in illegal combination in increasing
the rates, and the supreme court af
firmed the decision."
