ANOTHER WARNING FROM JUDGE COOLEY.
Chicago Dec. 13.-Interstate Commerce Comms-
soners Cooley and Morrison started for the East last
night In an Interview printed In local paper judge
Cooley says that the wlllu violations OF the Law and
the illegal and nlcgitmae means resorted to by rail-
road officials to secure advantages each other
revealed by the Investigation by himself and Commits
sloner Morrison were much worse than any member
Of the Commission had supposed. The reason the
matter had not been taken up before was that the
Commission did not get any knowledge OF their
doincs than furnished them by aggrleved parties
The railroads seemed be governed by tho rule that
prevails among all law brcakersnot 70 tell tales on
each other. The trouble was, he said that the com
mission was located too far away from the base Of
operations Of thcsc railroads. II should be located
where violations Of the law could be promptly brought
to It's notice and where prompt and thorough lnve5u-
cations can be made. Evidence had come into the
possession Of the Commissioners that would warrant
criminal prosecutions against several railroad officials,
and the worst feature was that every Official they
examined admitted the facts but said Ac had TO do it
because others were doing it, Some OF them even
went so far as Justify their Illegal action on the
ground that tho law oppressive ard unjust one
manager, who was reployed for paying q commission
Of sG on a ticket worth $40 80, insisted that there
was nothing I'm tho Law to prevent him from paying
large commission as no pleased, and af'erwad
sent written document to the Commission making
an argument In justification Of such action. il tAc
railroads thought that the Commission would rest with
the admonitiOl given at Tuesday meeting Of general
managers, Nj. Cooley said. G.ey were greatly mis-
taken. That done simply as a warning 10 give
them an opportunity 20 rectiiy The evils complained
Of without further delay ard ID bring them 10 tic
realization Of the fact that tho Law must ic enforced
