Frauds In One Month.
XEW YORK. March SL The Interstate
Commerce Commission becan an Impor
tant hwirins ,toSay on the reported un
derbllllng and misrepresentation of
freight by nhlppers la Xew York and
other Eastern points.
.Robert G. Stevenson, a general Inspec
tor of the Trunk LJne Association in the
States of New York. Connecticut and
Massachusetts, -was examined at length.
He nald that In one month the associa
tion had a total of 34.099 false claxslflea
tlone. He declared that manr large and
prominent Arms had habitually, persist
ently and constantly violated the regu
lations. In answer to questions, he said that,
while the majority of shippers sought to
be honest, many -prominent ones were no
toriously dishonest. He described how
some shippers would pretend to make
honest descriptions of shipments and
how they would try to deceive inspectors
by packing valuable shipments in the
bottoms, sides or middle of packages con
taining lower: class freight to avoid scru
tiny. He Mid that the Inspectors' knew
of the -persistent violations pretty well
and that as a rule few misdescribed ship
ments got by them.
"Why e tfeey do this, if yeur Jas?acteri
generally detect the false classification?
asked Chairman Clapp.
"They do It to get a lower rate for their
customer. They think that, if they get
one shipment out of ten through, it will
pay them to mlsdescribe."
He said that the cuts made by the
Trunk Une Association Inspectors were
rarely questioned by the shippers. He
was unable to suggest a remedy for the
evil.
The hearing will be continued tomorrow.

THAT IS VITAL PROBLEM, SAYS
IIADLEY, OF 3USSOURI.
Great Enterprises Exist in Dellance
of Liberty, and Public Opinion
Must Compel Obedience.
NEW YORK. March 23. With Attorney-General
Herbert S. Hadley, of Mis
souri, as Its principal guest, the Mis
souri Society of New York held its
annual banquet tonight at the Waldorf
Astoria. Mr. Hadley made an address
In which he said:
The exslin&Uoa of the unfair railroad
freight rate, the midnight tariff, the draw
back cr rbt. It that om cosuaercUl In
ttrejt rcsrtaentt a power and Influence la
our IndttJtrlat life rtronr noujh to demand
and Kcure such unlawful prirUerts. Thfe
commercial or Industrial enterprises repre
senting a concentration of wealta and Influ
ence alonr lines which create both the power
and the disposition to do these thtnzi. which
result In evils and abuse, exist and do busi
ness In violation of the principles of our com
mon law. which we have laherlted along with
our civil, religious and political liberty, and
In violation of the statute law which our
Legislature have placed u-sob the statute
books of the Nation and of the state.
To my mind the vital problem that con
fronts the American people todar 1 the ques
tion a to whether them great commercial
enterprise shall continue, as they have con
tinued In the paw. In open defiance of the
laws of the Nation and thn tate.
Mr. Hadley looked for relief not to
Socialism or Government ownership,
but to an aroused public sentiment that
would compel honesty and obedience to
law.
PARKER REITERATES DENTAL
Xerer Said Roosevelt WoHldlHn for
Third Term.
NEW YORK. March 23. A. B. Parker
made a statement today In which he
sayi:
An alleged conversation between a mas
from Maine and the President In regard to
a third tern reports the latter, according to
a printed statement, as having said that a
second nomination was an Impossibility.
This has been brought to my attention with
the suggestion that It Is suggested as a
anawer to an alleged Interview or speech by
me while In the South, expressing a different
view. I do not believe, however, that It was
so intended, because it Is so much more tem
perate than his last reply to a statement of
mine. But, be that as It may. the fact Is
that neither In speech nor Interview did I,
at Birmingham or elsewhere, make any
statement on the subject.
Nor did I at Jackson or elsewhere suggest
Mayor McCIellan for the Presidency.
SHAW TALKS STAND PATTIS3I
Calls Progressive Republicans of
Iowa Menace to Party.
DES MOINES. March 23. Secretary of
the Treasury Shaw made an Interesting
address on Republicanism here tonight.
In which he made an elaborate argu
ment against any change in tariff sched
ules at present, because It would endan
ger Republican success In the 1908 cam
pafgn. Much Interest was manifested through
out Iowa In the address, because It was
expected the Secretary might enter Into
a discussion of the factional fight within
the Republican party in Iowa. He made
no direct reference, however, but did re
fer incidentally to the activities of the
progressive Republicans, declaring that
they are stirring up discontent within
the party that la a menace.

NEW YORK, March 23. The application
for the removal of James M. Deuel, Jus

cause of h'is connection with Town Topics,
was heard by the appellate division of the

man Hapgood as evidence, and declared
that there was doubt whether the court
possessed Jurisdiction in the case. Decis
ion was reserved on that point until Mon
day, and the court took under advisement
the question whether it should appoint a
referee to take evidence.
FROM HEARST TO BRYAN
(Concluded From Page 1.)
the shrewdest thought is being directed as
the man to prevent the spread of Hearat
Ism throughout the perturbed country agi
tated by graft In high places, and in
Bryan is seen the savior who will coun
teract the Hearst machine, which, operat
ing through the paid agents of its princi
pals, will again conduct a campaign in
the same manner as that of two year?
ago, when there was no such favoring
situation to aid the personally conducted
propaganda. Plans already are being dis
cussed to make the homecoming of Bryan
from his travels abroad this Spring a
great National Democratic event.
In connection with the Hearst move
ment much significance is likely to be
attached to the visit of the labor leaders
to President Roosevelt and the Congres
sional directors of legislation yesterday.
The Hearst managers arc preparing to
seize upon the memorial of labor as cap
ital for their candidate. It already has
been made known that it Is the Intention
of the labor leaders to attempt a con
certed movement in the approaching elections.
