N ta Tti taken on the Lorlmer case la the itenate today, nor could a date for ii h a vote be fixed. Beveriilge of In.IUna apoka for four hour, but did not conclude. He announced that he would resume tomorrow. Thl wm lit second Interruption of hie speech, which already has consumed nine hours. Just before the Senate r:nto ex ecutive session. Burrows attempted for the second time today to bare a time for a vote fixed, suggesting that It be before adjournment tomorrow. Stone objected because he desired time In which to be heard on the case. With Congress within eight dars of enforced adjournment and with Its cal endar -crowded with Important meas ures. Including- numerous appropriation bills, the tfenate adjourned in anything; but an agreeable state of mind. Filibuster Is Charged. Ordinarily there would bare been no objection to Beverldo's course In an nouncing; that he would resume his speech tomorrow, but under the cir cumstances there were many manifes tations of Impatience. Some ef the Senators who support Lorlmer went so far as to chsrge filibuster to pre vent a vote on the Lorlmer case, but Jieveridge and bis frlenda resented this charge. -I don't care a bans; when we rote after I get through." be said to Oal Unser on the Ooor Just before adjourn ment. Ho Insisted that he must have oppor tunity to conclude his speech, which he promises be would do tomorrow. In his remarks today the Indiana Senator made somewhat extended ref erence to Lorlmer's speech of yester day, warning fens tore against being carried in; by sympathy. He con tinued his analysis of the testimony In the case, with a view of convincing- the. Senate that the Senator from Illinois had procured his election through bribery. He also charred the committee on privileges and elections had acted with undue haste upon the evidence In reaching; Its verdict. Beveridge He-lies on ltrcords. This allegation was made In connection with a sharp colloquy with IJepew of New York. He taxed the New Tor Sen ator with having- failed to read the tes timony, and la addition Intimated that the report, which originally was agreed to by the committee on privileges and elections, was not the same document tiiat ultimately was presented to the Sen ate In the Lorlmer case. Beveridge began by saying he would quote from the records, and asked that. If he misstated anything, he be cor rected. Referring to Lorimer'e story of his early struggles and his acts of benevolence, he said many Senators bad had such struggles and benevolence was not peculiar to Lorlmer. The question was. however, the validity of Lorlmers election. He proceeded to argue that the votes cf Larimer's friends were caat for Hop kins, that Shurtleff was elected Speaker and that Deneea waa urged to run for nator as pieces of " permissible strat egy In that kind of political manipula tion which appears to be) becoming so usual In the election of Vnlted States Senators." He contended that Lorlmer"s explanation of the casting of many votes for him was not relevant to the question of the corruption of other Totes. Dcpevr Called to Account After a series of exchanges between Peverldxe and Pepew the Utter said he had read merely the attorney's briefs and an abstract of the testimony taken. Throwing op his hands, Beveridge ex claimed: -I ak the !enate and the House what they think of a judge who would reach a nnal conclusion in a great case on the brief of counsel and an abstract of the evidence prepared by counsel." Trie galleries broke Into loud applause. Bringing down his gavel with a bang. Brandegee. In the chair, admonished the audience that the demonstration must not be repeated. Leuler Ms breath, but audible through out the chamber. Beveridge. who had bn speaklrr almost to empty chains on the floor, notwithstanding the galleries were packed, said: -I tclck we shall have an audience soon."" " -I am pleased to know that the Senator from Indiana count upon an audience." retorted Depew. - think I have an audience." returned. lveridge, looking up at the packed gal- 1'in"the galleries."" said the New Tork Senator pointedly. He Intimated that It vi as to the galleries that the Indiana ffcr.to-r addressed most of Ms speeches. "I could each the Senator from New York little about tiiat." snspped Bever- UeclaHng that the -goody' had been found In the possession of Holtelaw and l.lnk. Bfverulire asked what, under similar circumstances, would be the Infer ence In the esse of a thief. Asked by Galllnger whers Stale Legis lator White had procured the money he Is alleged to have shown In Chicago In the Summer of 19U. Beveridge replied that circumstance bad been explained. "How. and whers did It come frotnT aid Oallmger. From Browne Ie CVNelll Brewne." qui.-kly answered Beveridge. "Where did Browne get It!" Oood Lord! I doa know."' said ths A ! ! ' 1 - - ......... "They attempt to clear matters up by saying trial no money Larimer's) bank. Does sny one suppose the money would have been taken from tim bank? That would have been about as stupid a proceeding as aome others that are suggested." RATES AREJ0T TO GO UP Ceaclndd en Page a.) of liie proposed Increases the commis sion holds and Its decision In both the Eastern and Western cases was unani mous that the carriers did not. In the proceedings, sustain what the law Im poses upon them, namely, the burden cf proof that absolute necessity existed for the advances proposed. Discussing the Eastern case. Mr. Frouty denies that the defendant car riers are Justified at this time In de-Tar.dng- additional revenues from the rtibtle for the services lch they are airing- he concedes that the Increase la the labor accounts for ths roads Cur ing the last year has been from five to eight per cent of their payrolls, ag gregating for the 41 lines approxi mately t3S.POO.SOO a year. The opinion holds, however, that "the carriers have not. by showing that the increases in wages more than equal the Increases In rates, made out the reasonableness of the proposed ad vanced rates." because "It appears that during the year ending June 30. 1910. the net earnings of these railroads ag gregated 151. 000.000 more than during the year 1S0J." Ttoads Did Not Trove Case. After considering; the question of Just how far freight rates probably can be increased on account of the "extremely expensive Improvement re quired by the passenger service of the lines." and analysing thoroughly the financial and operating methods of several Important Eastern roads, the opinion concludes: It seems plain that they have not sus tained tire buteo which the statute casts upon them of justifying the propoeea ea vanred rates. l.-iar ss that justification depends upon the necessity for greater net revenue. Before any general advance can be permitted It moot appear a reasonable certainty that carriers have exerted proper ecoaemr la the purchase ef their supplies. In the payment of their erases and In the seoeral rrmliKt of their business. There la bo testimony to show the coet of repro ducing these properties, it Is plara that a payeicej vaieatlon would latroduo. late the calcula.lea a new element which, might lead 1 a different eonclveien. Toe eoacJv sloa reached bare extends, therefore. Be further than the facts upon which It la based. Rrgwlatlou Increases Hevenoe. In his preparation of the opinion In the Western cases. Commissioner franklin K. Lane made an epUmlstlo review of the situation of American railroads. In beginning, he shows that through the regulatory law and Its enactment "the railroads have been protected against each other and as a result the revenues of the carriers have Increased nnder regulation and their dlvidenda and surplus have in creased aa In no other period of our history. ' "In the last ten years the railroads of the United States have borrowed more than f t.SOO.noo.OOO. or twice the amount of the National debt at the close of the Civil War. This is an evt dence of the faith the publlo has In these properties. The rate of divi dends and the total amount of divi dends have Increased mure rapidly than the additional mileage built." Mr. I.ane points out that the West ern rwds have Increased their surplus more than 100 per cent In ten years. The opinion holds that the "carriers do not need larger revenues for pur poses of maintaining; their credit or Insuring them against temporary aa- verslty." In considering; cost of operation, in cluding; wages, materials and all else that properly may be taken Into ac count, the opinion holds that nhe coat of tho.up-keep of the plant and the return on the value amounts to mors than three-fourthg of the rate that la charged lor transportation. The rail way materials are found not to nave ncreased. fuel has increased augntiy and wagee considerably. However, the last six months of the year 110. In which ths new wage schedules were la effect, show for the carriers the largest operating Income they hava ever en joyed In any half year." Justification 3fot Convincing. In concluding his opinion, which wss adopted unanimously as the expression of the Commission. Mr. Lane says: The Constitution of the I'nlted States guarantees the earners against me coniza tion ef their property, or the taking of ths same without due process of law. our laws do not seek to establish domination over private capital for any other uurpuee thaa to make sure against injustice onng the public, and thereby make eucn cap ital Itself more secure. It is not for na to say that we repreaem the Oov.rnm.nt and may have a policy of eur own, which In any degree runs counter to the power granted to us or the duty Im posed upon us. 1 ne nunwuii may look to this tribunal to negative or modtf the expressed will of the Ueglslsture. Tney save laid before as the faote and the law which .would make fur a Justification of their conree In the Increasing of rates. To r minds their Justification has nel seen convincing.
