Argument I'm Favor of Pooling.
WASHINGTON, March 13-The inter

this morning. heard an argument in behalf
of the repeal of the anti-pooling clause of
the interstate-commerce act by j. X
Cowen, general counsel for the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad. He devoted himself to
an analysis and explanation of the pending
measure. He emphasized the point that
pooling agreements never fixed rates. but
simply distributed traffic. The railroads. he
said, had recognized that the interstate
commerce commission was an established
institution, and they were willing TO have
their agreements subject TO the approval of
that body. But they wanted the right of
appeal to the courts Mr. Cowen argued
that discrimination between shippers would
be done away with by removing the motive
on the part of the railroads by allowing
them to make an agreement as to what
part of the business each should have

THE GILMAN bee" CASE.
Mr.. Bruner Concludes His Argument
for the Defense.
He Claims That Mrs. Truitt 1s s'Un-
tmpeached and Pure''-Two More
Arguments Yet to Come.

A. J. Bruner, counsel for the defend
ants in the Gilman cClatchy libel case,
finished his argument at noon on Satur-
day and the court then adjourned until
this morning.
Mr.. Bruner said the question arises
whether the defendants have proven the
charges against Gilman, as published in
the Bee. While the article did not
charge rape, the reader of the article
would infer that. He then proceeded to
read the dates of certain actions of Mrs.
Truitt's, and enumerated several alleged
established facts.
Referring to Judge Holps questions as
to who Mrs. Truitt is, and where she
come from, counsel declared that "she
stands unimpeached and absolutely
pure.'
He said that Judge Holl in the begin
ming of his argument said the Bee was
not taken in great many respectable
houses in the city, and that it was not
decent paper to be taken in a respectable
mans house. In this, he claimed,
counsel for the plaintiff went outside the
record of the case.
Mr.. Bruner said that he had tried to
keep from going outside of the record.
but as Mr.. Holl did so he would say that
he believed the consenus of opinion in
Gilman's neighborhood is that he is
guilty of the charge.
Judge Catlin Interrupted Mr.. Bruner
and said that it was not necessary to go
outside of the record Of the case.
In conclusion, Mr.. Bruner, after read
ing numerous portions of Mrs. TRUTHS
testimony taken in the Police Court,
asked the court to render decision for
the defendants.
As Mr.. Bruner sat down Judge Catlin
called attention to his statement that the
charge of rape, as published in the Bee.
had been proven.
"Idon't understand" =" said Judge Catlin,
that the article published in the Bee
charged rape. l understand that it
charged an attempt at rape. 1t is doubt
ful if the language of the article charges
anything more than an attempt to COM
nit rape. have not had the opportunity
OF scrutiniZing the article as closely as [
have the complaint. The question may
arise whether 1t will be sufficient justih-
cation if the defendants establish the
truth of the article as published, or
whether, having pleaded something
further than that, they should be required
to establish the truth of the justification.
l suppose Mr.. Hollis idea was that the
alleged libelous publication did not
charge tne coihhllSslon ol rape, puG only
an attempt TO commit rape"
Judge Catlin was about to refer to de-
fendauts' answer to the complaint when
Charles L. Jones said that the answer
charges an assault with intent to commit
rape.
Judge Catlin asked that copy of the
answer be given him for perusal.
At II o'clock a recess was taken until
10 o'clock this morning, when Charles T.
Jones will begin his argument for the de-
tense. After Mr.. Jones concludes, Grove
L. Johnson will make the closing argu-
ment for the plaintiff.
