TEtE. FORKING. .QREGONIAN, THURSDAY, APRIL 20, 1905., EES A DIFFERENCE Railroads Make Understand ings, Not Agreements. MORAWETZ' VI EWOfr RATES ganta Fe Lawyer Protests'-Against Making Stockholders Pa lor Sins of Traffic Officials and Ex plains Away Bebatc qhargc. V" ' ' ' ' . WASHINGTON. April 19. Viotor Morawetz, of the Atchison, Topekx & Santa Fe Railroad, again was before.the Senate committee on' interstate commerce today. Replying to questions by Senator Dolliver, Mr. Morawctz. said that the executive committee a'nd hoard ot di rectors "never know . anything: about the details of traffic management. They srive directions to -the '.president -of the road, and the president directs the other officers. "Where traffic managers violate the law in -granting: rebates and. discrimi nations to one shipper, do you not think it -would he right -to compel the road to give all shippers the low rate?" asked Senator Dolliver.- "In many cases It would be right, and in others unjust," replied Mr. Morawetz. "It would not be right to make stockholders suffer because some agent had committed a wrong." Senator Dolliver questioned Mr. Morawetz about the agreements be tween companies as to rates. The latter replied that they were not "agreements." The railroads, he said, talked things over and reached an understanding as 10 what rates would be from com petitive points. He said these rates were fixed on a remunerative basis. Senator Dolliver asked why inter mediate points were compelled to pay higher rates than the competitive points. Mr. Morawetz replied that the railroads were compelled to accept low rates at competitive points. He main tained that the intermediate .points were really benefited by such action. In reply to a question by Senator Dol liver. Mr. Morawetz explained the charges regarding the granting .of rebates by the Atchison to the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company. He said that the alleged rebate grew out of confusion of the cost of trans portation and the cost of coal. The Atch ison filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission a rate of $4.0j from the mine to the point of intersection with any road which was controlled by Phelps, Dodge & Co.. the coal consignors. As a matter of fact, he said, the rate was $2.00 per ton. and the difference of $1.15 per ton was paid to the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company for the coal. The road collected the price of the coal and the cost ot transportation at the point of delivery. It was alleged that the payment of $1.15 to the Colorado Company was a rebate, when, as a matter of fact, he said, no rebate was paid. No Interest, he stated, suffered by the act of the company. No body connected with the Atchison system had any interest in' the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company. Mr. Morawetz said that when the pres ent management of the Atchison road took control of the system It Included various coal companies, the stock of which was owned by the original rail road company. The new management de cided that the railroad must go out of the coal business. The Atchison then leased all the coal mines In Its system. In 2901 there was a three-cornered -arrangement, to which the Atchison. Colo rado Fuel &. Iron Company, and Phelps, Dodge & Co., controlling the El Paso & Southern Rajlroad, were parties. Under the terms- of the agreement the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company was to furnish coal at $1.33 per ton and the Atchison was to haul it for $2.90 per ton, the Atchison to collect the price of the coal and pay the $1.15 over to the Colorado Company. The agreement was to last five years. But in 1902 injunctions were granted restrain ing the various companies from continu ing this buslneps. The complaint arose over a mistake about the combination of the $4.65 which the road collected, an al legation being made that this did not include the price of the coal, and that re bates were given. No other shipper could be affected,- because Phelps, Dodge & Co. had to have the coal which was supplied hy the- Colorado company. The whole case arose over a confusion of the cost of coal with the cost of transportation. Senator Dolliver asked as to the report that the Atchison had paid to the Stand ard Oil Company $17,000,000 in rebates in Kansas. Mr. Morawctz said that he felt authorized to deny the statement that any rebate was given by the Atchison to the Standard. In answer to Senator Newlands, Mr. Morawetz said that in several states there were commissions with power to fix rates. At tlmc6 the. Atchison road had .suffered from interference and was saved from annihilation by the United States courts. He said no commission could have the wisdom to fix rates for the entire coun try. Mr. Newlands asked a series of ques tions to support his contention for the nationalization of railroads. Senator Cullom, addressing Mr. New lands, asked: "Arc you getting ready to "buy all these roads?" . ' "No," replied Mr.. Newlands. "I merely want the railroads to. take out national charters." The committee adjourned until tomor row. APPOINT XEW COMMISSION. Rate Iiaw Will Give Pacific Coast Opening for. .Representation. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Washington, April -19. It is well un derstod In Washington that, if Con gress at Its coming session passes a railroad rate law empowering the In terstate Commerce Commission to fix rates, that body will be completely re organized. The present commission probably does very well under the present law; it is a- comparatively harmless body, made up of compara tively harmless ment but a commis sion entrusted with the regulation of railroad rates, something that will af fect business all over the United States and exert an Important Influ ence on one of the greatest lines of American industry, must be composed of large, broad-guage. practical men; bigger men than go to make up the present, commission. -The President has indicated as much already. In view of this likely reorganization there is every assurance that the Pa rlflc Coast will secure representation on the new body. The Coast sought representation on the present com mission: many prominent men were put forward, but none was chosen. The Pacific Coast Is as intensely In terested In the regulation of rates as any other section; the far West has Its own peculiar railroad troubles, and he far West ought tq have, and no doubt will, have adequate representa tion on any commission that is consti tuted by President Roosevelt to ac tively engaged in the fixing of railroad Tates. There will be an abundance of candidates, once the President indi- catea his definite intention. of, reorgan izing the commission. WASaC. MORTON SUMMONED. Democrats Say He Knows All About Santa Fe Rebates. WASHINGTON. April ID. (Special.) It developed, tonight that a determined ef fort has been m&de to have Secretary Morton summoned by the Senate Inter state Commerce "Committee to glvo testi mony oh-the matter of rebates. Senator Carmack' brought the matter up last Mon day In. executive meeting. He urged that Mr. Morton, who was vice-president and general manager, of the Santa Fe sys tem when rebates were paid; should be questioned on the subject. Senator Elkins objected -on the ground that no purpose could be sefcved by ex amining Mr. Morton, and that It might pirove injurious to a. cabinet minister. Quite a lively discussion occurred, but the proposition was rejected by a strict party vote, the Republicans opposing it and the Democrats favoring It. It Is said to be the. intention ot the Democrats to bring the subject Up again and-seek to have Mr. Morton brought before the com mittee.

(Special.) Secretary Taft has definitely decided to' visit Toklo on his way to the Philip pines and pay his respect to the Jap anese ministers of foreign affairs and war. He will make an official visit of ceremony, although desiring that no formal invitation be extended by the government of Japan. Efforts have been made to have Mr. Taft accept lavish hospitalities at Toklo, but ho has declined to bficnm the guest of the Japanese government. He gave the matter long consideration. He fully realized that his visit would be construed as showinc friendliness for the Japanese, notwithstanding pro testations of neutrality from the United States. He determined to visit Toklo. make his calls on the ministers and pursue a course Just as If no war was in progress between Russia and Japan. It Is not believed that Russia will no tice the visit to the extent of making J formal representations on the subject. it nas not neen aeciaeu whether th members of the party accompanying j Mr. Taft will go to Toklo, If they do It will be merely as a party of Ameri can citizens. Mr., Taft hopes to avoid meeting the Mikado, but it is not believed this can be accomplished. Those in charge of his reception will doubtless insist on presenting him to the Mikado The presence of Miss Roosevelt -with tho party will prove the most delicate fea ture of the affair. The Japanese will ! seek to show her the courtesy and at tention due her station as the Presi dent's daughter and many embarrass ments may result. Not Enough .Money. to Pay Them. WASHINGTON.

Count Cas dnt desired a European post and there was much talk of his transfer to Madrid, and of Baron de Rosen going to Wash ington, but since then the whole ques tion has been held In abeyance and it is regarded as entirely unlikely that the government would agree to Count Cas sinl's transfer at any time until after peace is concluded, as Important negotia tions might be conducted through Wash ington, in which the Count could render groat assistance.

I It Is further explained that, in preparr Ing its financial scheme, the ' Japanese Government has purposely divided the loans with special reference to the per iods of subscription and the monthly war expenses. Attention is called to the fact that the foreign loan Is intended to main tain the specie reserve for trade purposes, and only the domestic loan is to meet the war expenses. As the major portion of these are paid in Japan, the expansion of the convertible notes and consequent rise In prices is prevented. These domestic loans are provided for during the fiscal year by an appropriation of 575,000,000, to be derived from war taxes, and it Is said that the result of the increased taxation has so far been perfectly satlsfaetory- Amoy Will Preserve Neutrality.
