: - THE MORXiyG OKEOmy, "WEDNESDAY. SEPTE3IBER 30, 1903. . : " i i " " " CQMIV11SSI0N HAS AMPLE AUTHORITY F. K. Lane Writes That Inter state Commerce Law Cov ers Trans-Shipments. BOTH RATES BE PUBLIC Railroad Magnates Aware That Rul ing Is Unassailable and That In land Rates From Seaboard Must Be . Made Known. . WASHINGTON, Sept. . That the In terstate Commerce Commission has ample jurisdiction over the foreign com merce of the United States while moving between seaboard and Interior points, is net forth in a letter written by Inter state Commerce Commissioner Lane to the rracoma Chamber of Commerce and made public today. In his letter Mr. Lane aavs: The Interstate commerce act Is by Its terms applicable to the transportation of 'property shipped from any place In the United States to a foreign country and' carried from such Dlace to a port of trans-shtDment. or shipped from foreign country to any place In the Unit ed States and carried to such place rrom a port of entry either in the United States or an adjacent foreign country. Has Jurisdiction Over Commerce. "It thus appears the Commission has ample Jurisdiction over the foreign com tnerce of the United States, while moving betwen the seaboard and Interior points. It logically and necessarily follows that the rate for the inland movement to or from the seaboard must be filed and pub lished in order to comply with the ex press provisions of the law. A con trary holding would deprive the Com mission of all Jurisdiction over foreign commerce if Joint rates only were re quired to be published: the proportion of each carrier being unknown, tne law could easily be set at naught through collusion between the railroads and ocean carriers. Rebates and preferences could be granted at will. No punishment could be Imposed for making a concession irom a Joint rate of this character as it would be Impossible to connect the offense with the carrier over which alone the Com mission has control. , Ruling In Accord With Law. That this ruling is In accord with the law is not questioned. The railroads have not gone into court to have the Com mission enjoined, because they know its position is legally unassailable. The whole difficulty arises from their re luctance to make public the inland pro- Dortlons of these Joint rates. Their earn- lncs on this traffic are so small that they fear the dissatisfaction of domestic ship pers and the complaints that would fol low. "The Commission is urged to reverse its ruling upon the ground that it Is doing eerlous Injury to the Pacific trade. If this were so, it would not reflect upon the Commission's ruling, but would argue against the advisability of the law, which the Commission is charged to enforce. However, there is good authority for the position that the ruling in question is not the cause of the depression In the raeific trade. Xot Suspected of Undue Regard. "Messrs. Hill and Harrlman are some what widely known as railroad men. Neither is suspected of undue regard for the Interstate Commerce Comisslon, yet when interviewed with respect to the unsatisfactory condition of the Pacific trade it does not occur to them to place the responsibility with the Interstate Commerce Commission." Mr. Lane adds that for some time the Pacific trade has been in difficulty. Ever increasing competition on the part of Japanese steamship lines, heavily subsi dized and economically operated, has crowded our American vessels hard.

The second let ter was addressed to the local board of control, replying to an invitation on gold plate recently conveyed to the President. A postscript at the bottom of this letter aroused wild enthusiasm among the delegates and spectators, as it was read by Secretary Fowler. The President wrote: Roosevelt for Statehood. I earnestly hope that this Winter I hall have a chance to sign bills con ferring statehood on both New Mexico and Arizona." The congress unanimously directed Its officers to reply to the message by a telegram with an expression of thanks for the favorable expression toward New Mexico and Arizona. Addresses of welcome were made by Mayor G. H. Lester. Albuquerque, and iJovernor Curry, of New Mexico, and j President F. C. Goudy. of Denver, in response, made the opening address to the congress. The afternoon ses sion was occupied by brief responses to the address of welcome. Some time was devoted to the report of the officers of the congress and to read ing communications, among them being a letter from Chief Forester Gilford Pinchot and a telegram from W. EL Smythe. of California, founder of the congress, who was to have delivered an address at the afternoon session, but who is unable to attend. Ex-Governor L. B.

Addresses were. mj-i by delegates from France, England, Spain, Portugal, Italy. Cape Colony, Canada, Cuba, Porto Rico, Brazil and several of the Mexican states. A demonstration lasting several min utes was made when a military band sent here by the government of Mexico played - "The Star-Spangled Banner" st the opening of the session. The singing of the "Irrigation Ode" by a chorus of 100 voices aroused enthusiasm. A notable feature of the congress is the absence of men prominent or active in political affairs, and the presence of an unusual number of men who are ac tive workers in the practical fields of reclamation, and who make up a list of speakers of exceptional strength. The usual exposition, for which Congress ap propriated J30.000. and which has brought together the finest display of irrigated products ever assembled in the United States, was formally opened this morning by Governor Curry, of New Mexico, fol lowing a parade of the troops of the Department of the Colorado, ordered here for the exposition.

Wasn, for the next session of the congress. Mr. Goudy declared "that the work of this association will not be finished until all the flood waters in the arid and semi-arid sections shall have been Impounded for irrigation, power and other useful purposes. It will not be finished till we have worked out the (Treat problem of saving our forests, especially the forests at the head waters of our irrigation streams." He recommended the creation of irrigation districts, that the people might provide their own irrigation works. TFAST ALASKA STEAMER WRECKED PASSENGERS ALL- SATED.

The 38 passengers were trans ferred to the fishing steamship Edith and returned to Seattle tonight.
