The Santa Fe's action Is understood to

Rates Between St. Paul, Chicago

CHICAGO, Jan. ga conference of
the st. Louis, Chicago and ST. Paul
lines was called here in hot haste today,
for tomorrow. The cause was the dis
o0very that passenger rates between
these points are likely to go to pieces.
The decentralization is caused by the sale
of secoGd-class tickets from st. Louis to
st. Paul through Chicago for $3.50, or
$3.50 below the combination of the au-
thorized rates. This allows scalp of
Sl.30 in the st. Louis Chicago ia te, and
$3.50 in the Chicago-St. Paul rate, and
still leaves $3.50 for the manlpuators of
the deal. A reduction of the authorized
first-class rate is threatened unless the
sale of these second-claSs tickets is
instantly stopped. 1t is expected tomor-
rows meeting will adopt measures to
stop it.

Mr.. CARLISLE EXPLAINS.
STATEMENT OF HIS POSITION ON The
B0HD ISSUE
TO THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE
The Bailey Resolution, Denying
the Secretary Authority to APP
ply the Proceeds Of Bonds to
Any Purpose But Assumptions.
Was Considered - No Action
Taken by the Committee.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-For the first
time iii this congress, every member OF
the judiciary committee of the house
attended its meeting today, the mag
net b. ny Secretary Carlisle'S statement
of his position OH the bond Issue.
The resolution of Representative
Bailey. of Texas, declaring it to be the
sense OF the house that the secretary has
no authority to apply the proceeds OF
bonds to any purpose but resumption,
was before the committee. Mr.. Carlisle
spoke in an informal manner for al
hour and half and was questioned by
several members of the committee. 1t
was held by the secretary that the law
conferred upon hlm the authority TO is
sue bonds, although he stated frankly
That until recently he had not enter
tanned that opinion of the question.
Great pressure has been brought to bear
upon HIM. he said, for the bond issue,
and although he regretted the necessity
for il, as the step did not seem to meet
the unanimous approval of the party,
yet 1t was PLAIN to him that the neceS
sity was imperative at this time. A de-
hcit of 1000, O0U would exist at the
end of the fiscal year, lie estimated, un
der existing conditions, or as result of
proposed tariff legislation, unless con-
gress gave relief to the treasury, which
