PROD COMMISSION
TO TAKE AGTlOiN
California Shippers Hire Law
yers for Rebate In
quiry. WILL ALLOW NO FARCE
Railroads Not to Be Permitted to
Head Off Search After Their Mis
deeds Attorney-General Is
"ot I"ulljr . Trusted. .
SAX FRANCISCO. Jan. 18. (Spe
. cial.) When the State Board of Rail
road Commissioners begins its lnves
tigatlons into the illegal methods of
the Southern Pacific, the. Santa Fe and
the Salt Lake & San Pedro Railroads
on February 12, it will be backed and
urged on by a combination of inter
ested shippers. A gathering of law
yers, representing shippers from San
Francisco. Los Angeles. Sacramento,
Stockton, Fresno, Bakersfield, Visalia
and every other important shipping
point, will be ready to back Attorney
Genera) Webb In his efforts to prove
the charges of rebating against ' the
IJarriman and other lines.
Prominent among the organizations
which are to unite are the local Cali
fornia Traffic Association. andJn Los
Angeles a similar organization Tormed
under the leadership of W. A. Joyce.
On the lines of these two associations
shippers in every important center of
the state will organize and a great
central body will be effected to appear
by intervention in the action to be
brought by the Attorney-General
against the . Southern Pacific and
. other roads.
Although these traffic associations
state for publication that they have
every confidence in the State Railroad
Commission and the Attorney-General,
the truth Is that they fear that both
Mr. Webb and the Commission will
turn the investigation into a farce
and for this reason will stand ready to
step in at any minute in case Mr.
Webb and the Commission, always
considered friendly to the Southern Pa
cific, should fall down.

Interstate Board States Important
Exceptions to Rule.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18. One of the
most important' decisions that has been
. Rendered by, the Interstate Commerce
t 'ummlssion for many months was that
handed down today by Mr. Clark in the
case of. the Boviard , Supply Company
ngainst the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe Railroad and other carriers. The de
cision Involves a discussion of the Com
mission's yiews respecting the long and
Hhort haul clause of the interstate com
merce avt; and in the course of the opin
ion the Commission states why it cannot
ul ways approve of a lower rate for a
shorter haul than for a longer one in the
same territory.
In the present case the complainant
ships ropo cable from San Francisco to
Independence. Kan., on which It is
charged 75 cents per 10 pounds, whereas
Ihe rate on suoh rope cables from San
Francisco to Mississippi , River common
points and Chicago common points is only
tut cents a hundred pounds. The Commis
sion decided that in tho circumstances
the rate was not unjust or prejudicial
to the complain a iri. In tho course of the
derision. . the Commission announced the
following Important rinding of interest to
shippers and carriers throughout the
country:
Krroneous application of an unlawful rat
Is not evideiu-e thati a higher lawful rate
therein! Is unreasonable. A rate to one
point that does not permit of disadvant
ageous rompotition isrom a point beyond, en
juvliiK a lower rale, does not create unrea
sonable prejudice .as to the one or give un
df preference to the other.
The I'oniinisslon views with disfavor the
maintenance of a lower rate for a longer
haul than for a Hhorter one included within
the longer, and the circumstances and con
tlitinns obtaining; ut the more distant point
which are relied upon to Justify it must not
only be clearly shown to be substantially
dissimilar from those prevailing at the
nearer point, but also clearly to exercise a
HUent or controlling influence in making
the lower Tate.
If the influence of competition between
rolnts of production in commodities and
between carriers in rates, prevailing at the
farther distant point, but not at the nearer
one. can be established in Justification of a
lower rate to the former, it will constitute
such dissimilarity of circumstances as will
Justify the lower rate for the longer haul.
Competition In commodities alone at the
rearer point, w-ill not make the circum
stances here substantially stmlltar to those
nt the farther point where the other com
petitive Influence and conditions also pre
vail. Dissimilar circumstances which Justify
under section four a greater charge for a
shorter haul than for a longer haul will
nlso prevent such rate from constituting an
Illegal preference or advantage under eeo
tlon three.
ITpon discovery that shlpmonts lijve,
through mistake, beua moved at an unlaw
ful rate, the carrier should forthwith de
niand, and the shipper forthwith pay, the
difference between such unlawful rate and
the legal rate applicable thereto.
I'RKIGTTTCARS STANDING IDLE
Grcnt Contrast Between Conditions
Last "Winter and This..
SALT LAKK CITY, Jan. 18. One year
ago this city was ' threatened with a
coal famine because the railroads
lacked cars to haul the fuel. Today,
according to the Tribune, iOO freight
cars are standing idle in the yards of
the Oregon Short Line. Freight cars to
the number of loOO have been retired
from service on the Harriman lines
within the last 40 days, making a de
crease of 10 per oent in the active car
equipment of the system. Twenty lo
comotives stand, in the roundhouses
cold. v i
Contrasted with an insatiable de
mand for all kinds of labor last Win
ter, the Short Line .has laid off 3000
trainmen and workmen since October
'1. The Rio Grande Western has let out
ITT. won in local shops, but has not vet
called in any of Its rolling stock. The
railroad men say that the merchants
are not buying goods and that this is
the principal cause of the falling off of
traffic and the suspension of trains.
GIVK COAL ROADS A CHANCE
It They Dispose or Lands by May I,
They Will Not Be Prosecuted.
" WASHINGTON. Jan. 18. At the De
partment of Justice today it was an
nounced that if the eoal-oarrylng roads
agree to comply with the decision of
ilio Supreme Court of the United States
on the constitutionality of the provi
sions of the Hepburn law prohibiting
transportation companies from owning
and operating coal properties , after
May 1, !t will not prosecute such com
panles pending adjudication of the case
by the Supreme Court.
SATS HE PREVENTS CIVIL WAR
Federal Judge Defends Injunction
Against Rate Lam -
MONTGOMERY, Ala., Jan. 18. Judge
Jones, in the Circuit Court today, said
that the observance of decrees of his
court by the state judges, in the face
of advice to the contrary, prevented
civil war In the state.
The remark was made' during
argument for dismissal of the Federal
injunction against the railroads by
ex-cnlel Justice WeeKley. He argued
that the Federal Court was exceeding
its autnorlty by enjoining state laws;
mat tne court could not make rates,
nor could it say that a rate of 2
cents a- mile is right or wrong.
SETTLEMENT NOT DISTANT
Kurino Confident of Solution of the
Japanese Immigration Problem. .
PARIS, Jan. 18. Baron Kurino, the
Japan Ambassador to France, who
throughout the American-Japanese nego
tiations has expressed most optimistic
views, said today that a settlement is
now not far distant.
"I share Count Hayashi's view that a
satisfactory solution will soon be
reached, " he said. .,
The Japanese Ambassador pointed out
that sensational reports now , being
printed In some European papers with
regard to the cabinet crisis in Tokio.
representing that this resulted from the
refusal of a certain minister to sanction
the new budget because of the large
amount of revenue the papers alleged was
to be devoted to military purposes, were
due to ignorance of the budget figures,
which have not even reached Paris.
JAPANESE FLEET AT HOME
Naval Minister Denies Stories of
Secret Cruise.
TOKIO Jan. 18. Reports attributing
sinister designs to the Japanese naval
administration in connection with . the
Paciiic squadron are absolutely unfound
ed. Vice Admiral Saito, minister of the
navy, in an interview with the corres
pondent of the Associated Press today
said:
"We have no secrets from America
concerning the distribution of our HeeL
Daily reports are handed the naval at
taches showing the whereabouts of every
vessel which can easily be ascertained.
"In view of the sensational reports
emanating from various quarters, we de
sire emphatically to say that no vessel
of the Japanese fleet is any nearer the
Pacific coast of America than Yokosuka.
Every one of the battleships is now on
the home station, either at Yokosuka.
Kure or Sasebo, and the entire flotillas
of torpedoboats and submarines are at
the same stations.
'The only Japanese war vessels now
outside of home waters, are one cruiser
at each of the following Chinese ports:
Hankow, Fuchow, Amoy and Klnchow;
two at Shanghai and three small ships
at Corea.
A training ship squadron, consisting
of three old cruisers, will sail on Jan
uary 25. One of these vessels is going
in the direction of Colombo, in Ceylon,
via Manila, where she will call on a
friendly, visit; Any statement made dif
fering from this Is absolutely without
foundation."
Vice Admiral Saito was evidently sur
prised that any. idea prevailed abroad,
that Japanese war vessels were cruising
in the direction of America. Commander
John A. Doughtery, the American naval
attache, when he was shown Vice Ad-,
nilral Saito's statement, said:
'I,can positively confirm the statement
of the minister of the navy from my own
knowledge of the Japanese naval situa
tion. 'There is no vessel absent from the
home waters except those on the regular
Chinese- stations and a few old vessels
at Corea."
ASK GOVERNMENT TO EXPLAIN
Progressist Party Accuses Cabinet
of Faulty Administration.
TOKIO, Jan. 19. Members of the
progressist party today at a general
meeting, which is always held on the
eve of the opening of the Diet, for the
purpose of defining a platform, passed
resolutions of which the following was
the preamble:
'Whereas, the cabinet has shown
that it has failed in post-bellum
measures by faulty internal adminis
tration and the national development
has been interrupted, while its weak
diplomacy Is a stain on the national
prestige, thus exposing itself to the
national Indignation, our party rc
mands the government's explanation
on seven points."
Among the seven points. Increase of
taxation, method of compilation of the
budget and weak diplomacy were the
principal features. Count Okuma,
leader of the progressists, did not at
tend the meeting. The progressists
bold 89 seats in the house of represen
tatives. One prominent leader left the
party and joined the constitutionalists
yesterday.
Rain Obscures Sun's Eclipse.
AUCKLAND, N. Z.. Jan. 18. The obser
vation at Flint Island on December 3 of
the eclipse of the sun by a number of
American scientists, headed by W. L.
Campbell, director of Lick Observatory,
was only partially successful, owing to
rain. The American observers report the
rain as .clearing gradually during the Drst
half of the total eclipse and that the
weather was clear during the last half.
The Instruments were wet, but they were
covered perfectly and the results then
attained were a success. The Samonian
observers with a Bolometer measured
the heat of the corona with gratifying
success. The form of corona was about
the same as that observed in India in
1&IS.
No Panic in This Audience.
, DULUTH, Minn., Jan. 18. During a
performance at the Lyceum Theater last
night an electric light bulb on a moss
covered rope, which was & part of the
scenery, burst, and soon the rope was in
flames. Fortunately those in the audi
ence kept their seats and a panic was
avoided. James L. Aundergan, stage
manager, seized the burning rope and
climbed it hand over hand until he
reached the fire, which he quickly ex
tinguished. His hands were burned.

THANKS TO BRAZIL
Evans , Grateful, Though He
Cannot Join in Fun.
WILL PASS STRAITS EASILY
Says Fleet Can Go .Through In Reg-
- ular Column Formation Minne
sota's .12- Oared Cutter
Wins . Exciting Race.
RIO DE JANEIRO. . Jan. 18. Rear-Admiral
Robley D. Evans, commander of
the American fleet, took ocacsion today
to express appreciation "of the magnificent
reception accorded the fleet by the BrazlW
lan government and the people. A seri
ous attack of rheumatism which he suf
fered soon after leaving Port of Spain
and which has persistently troubled him
ever since has prevented his enjoyment of
the many receptions and entertainments
organized in honor of ttV visitors, but
has in no wise lessened his appreciation
of the efforts of the nation to make the
sojourn here pleasant and memorable.
Admiral Evans said otday that he did
not anticipate any difficulty in the pass
age of the Straits of Magellan by the fleet
in regular column formation. The so
called dangers of the Strait he does not
consider serious, and he believes that the
fleet of battleships under his Command,
with the accompanying flotilla of torpedo
boats, will make the tortuous trip without
a jar. -
There was great excitement among the'
jackies over a race between the crews of
ttre-12-oared cutters of the Minnesota and
Louisiana. The course was four miles
straight- away, and the Minnesota crew
won after a lively struggle. The- jackies
Det tnelr money on their choice, and it is
thought that nearly J1200 changed hands
as a result of the victory of the Minne
sota men. The winners will row against
a crew of the Illinois tomorrow.
SUPPLIES FOR . MARE ISLAND
Government Laying In Vast Stores
Against the Fleet's Arrival.
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 18. (Special.)
In a few davs contracts will 'he let for
approximately ,000,000 worth of supplies
to be delivered to the Government for the
use Of the fleet when it reaches the Pa
cific. The supplies- are to be stored at
Mare Island and will come for the most
part from Coast Arms. A number of con
tracts for staples have already been let,
but the majority of the ' contracts will
not be awarded until after January 28,
when bids will be opened at the National
Capitol with the entire matter in charge
of the Navy Department. Paymaster W.
T. Wollace of Mare Island is conducting
the negotiations at this port. He will be
assisted by Inspector Ray, who will act
as general storekeeper.
-An Interesting feature of the contracts
is that they callffor supplies during the
months after the arrival of the fleet in
double the amount of these furnished at
present. - This is regarded as an indica
tion that part of the fleet, at least, will
remain In the Pacific Ocean. On this
point, however, the local officers have
received no special instruction.
Bids have been called for by the Navy
Department for groceries and supplies to
the value of J7SO.OO0. Contracts are to be
placed for flour to the amount of $50,000.
Orders for milk and bread and other
articles of food have already been placed
to the value of $200,000.
In the list of articles which the' Gov
ernment will purchaso for the fleet the
following will give some idea of the ap
petite of the American tar: - 860,000 pounds
of tomatoes,. 750,000 pounds of sucar. 60.-
000 pounds of dried apricots, 70,000 pounds
of dried apples and 3.000.000 pounds of
flour. There will also be vast quantities
of potatoes, beans, meat, canned goods
and fish.
MAY SKIP BUEVOS AYRES TRIP
Probable Torpedo Flotilla Will Go
Direct From Rio.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18. It seems prob
able now that the torpedo-boat flotilla on
its way to the Pacific will not pay a' visit
to Buenos Ayres, as was Intended. Ac
cording to the original plan, the flotilla
was to proceed from Rio Janeiro to Mon
tevideo. Now, however, as the flotilla is
said to be three' days behind its itinerary,
it Is probable that the entire cruise up
the River Plate will be cut out and with
out stopping at either Montevideo or
Buenos Ayres. the little vessels will try
to make the run from Rio Janeiro to
Sandy Point, in the Straits of Magellan.
The torpedo-boats will be thus given a
thorough test of their ability to make a
long-distance run and will also be able to
catch up with their schedule and accom
pany the battleships in the passage of the
Straits of Magellan, as desired by Admiral
Evans.
RIO JANEIRO, Jan. IS. Irving B. Dud
ley, the American Ambassador, has re
ceived a dispatch from tho Argentine
Minister of Foreign Affairs, saying that
the government Is preparing to receive
the American torpedoboat flotilla at Bue
nos Ayres with befitting ceremony of wel
come. The government is gratified that
tlie vessels are coming to an Argentine
port and it will -be glad again to give
evidence of the friendship which united
the two Republics.

ing telegram from Secretary Root:

tion as well as that of the American Gov
ernment for the cordial hospitality with
which the American fleet haB been received
by the President and the government of
Brazil. It is agreeable to note that the

manifested toward me In 1906 continues
unchanged and Is also manifested toward

shown in behalf of the sailors. Present my
personal remembrance tq Baron Rio Branco.

RUSSIAN FOLLOWS FLEET
XAVAL OFFICER WATCHING ITS
EVERY MOVEMENT.
Said to Have Been Refused Admis
sion on Board, but Ambassador
Denies the Story.
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 18. The Im
portance attached by the Russian Admi
ralty to the lessons to be learned from
the voyage of the American . battleship
fleet under Rear-Admiral Evans is shown
by the fact that the naval officer. Com
mander Alexis Diatchkoff, Is following
the fleet around the Horn, traveling from
port to port by. any means he can obtain.
He adopted this course only after his re
peated requests for permission to join the
ships had been refused. "
It is reported here that Diatchkoff suc
ceeded In getting on board one of the
American warships at Rio Janeiro, and
the entire Incident of this officer's activi
ties had been a source of some friction
between the Russian Foreign Minister
here and the Admiralty. When Baron
Rosen, the Russian. Ambassador to the
United States, was Instructed to ask for
a permit for Diatchkoff to join Admiral
Evans, he declined on the grounds that
he knew his request would be unfavor
ably received at Washington.
Thereupon the Kusslan Admiralty, after
further correspondence with the Foreign
Office, instructed Diatchkoff to apply
personally to Secretary Mctcalf. This the
officer did, but in vain. He was there
upon ordered to follow the fleet as closely
as he could, making use of private
steamers.
The Novoe Vremya, which is conduct
ing a campaign against Foreign Minister
llswolsky, declared today that Diatchkoff
was granted permission to accompany
one of the American battleships. This
was obtained after Baron Rosen had re
fused to present his application, accord
ing to this paper, and not the slightest
objection was made. The paper, however,
is in error. . -
NO ATTEMPT TO HIDE FACTS
Rosen Says Pcrmissfon to Accom
pany Fleet Hot Asked.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18. No attempt is
made at the Russian Embassy to conceal
the fact that Commander Diatchkoff Is
following the American battleship fleet
for the purpose of observing its methods
during its long voyage to obtain the many
valuable lessons to be learned from a
close study of all the conditions pertain
ing to It.
Baron Rosen said that he had never
seen the commander, who had not visited
Washington while In the United States.
He was met in New Tork by Colonel
Nebosin, the Russian naval attache, who
took him at once to Norfolk, where he
was Introduced to Rear-Admiral Evans
and various officers of the fleet. He then
hurried back to New Tork, where he
boarded a ship for Rio de Janeiro to be
present when the fleet reached there.
Baron Rosen said , the commander ex
pects to, go from place to place where
the fleet stops, so that he may learn
what there may be of interest from a
strategic standpoint that may be worth
noting.
Baron Rosen said he had not made any
application for Diatchkoff to accompany
the fleet, nor had any one identified with
the embassy, so far as he was aware,
for it was not the practice of govern
ments to permit foreigners to accom
pany the fleets on long cruises. The dls-l
cusslon of the whole matter, he thought,
was found in the statement of the St.
Petersburg dispatch, which said the
Novoe Vremya is conducting a campaign
against the Foreign Minister and is seiz
ing the present opportunity referred to
to make capital out of the incident.

statement tonight indorsing the fol
lowing features of the original Fowler
bill:
Any National bank in business for a
year or more may take out for issue
and circulation "National bank guar
anteed credit notes," provided the in
stitution's surplus fund equals 25 per
cent of its capital.
The amount of these credit notes may
be equal to 40 per cent of the National
bank notes which the bank may have
outstanding, but not more than 25
per cent of its capital.
The Treasurer of the United States
would receive in . January and July
of each year a tax of 1 per cent upon
the average amount of such credit
notes In circulation.
Besides the foregoing amount of
special credit 'notes subject to a tax
of 3 per cent annually, a National bank
may also take for circulation addi
tional credit notes equal to 12 per
cent o; its capital, but it shall pay on
such extra issue a special tax of 5
per cent, payable in two installments
of 214 per cent each, semi-annually.

over half a century.
We have no secrets! We publish
