JUDGE CoOLEY's RESIGNATION.

Chicago Sept. o0.-Commlssioner William r. Morr
son arrived here to-day in advance of the remaining
members of the Interstate Commerce Commission,
Messrs Knapp and Veazey. Reports claiming tIat
Judge Cooeys resignation was caused by politics
having Influenced appointments on the Commission
are absolutely false" said Mr. Morrison emphatcay
when asked as to such reports. Judge Cooley was
absolutely incapable OF further work. He was per
soverng and in love with the work. He insisted on
working long after he should have stopped, and when
in good health insisted doing almost all the work
himself
"The Interstate Commerce Commission Is yet an
experiment, and, there being many who think 1t has
not accomplished all IL should, the presence Of man
holding the complete confidence Of the people as did
judge Cooley was Of strength. He had every
confidence in the possibilities of the act creating the
Commission. None Of the has as yet been taken
to the highest authority in the land. When any 40
90 there presume that II will be found that we have
made few mistakes. So new thing could scarcely
be infallble"
Mr. Morrison stated that the most important case 10
be heard at the Chicago meeting would be the appeal
of the numbering men OF Eau Claire, who claim that
the railroads give better rates through Chicago and
from points back Of it than from Eau Claire. Ihe
complaint IS more Of unequal rather than OF eAOrDtant
