SANTA FE NOT JUSTIFIED.
IT'S Los ANGELES ctr MAY LEAD TO
SERIOUS RATE TROUBLES.
Matter Has Bccn Called to the Attention
Of Chairman Caldwell. who Declares
the Action Unwarranted-Obnox-
ious Tickets withdrawn.

Chicago. H., Feb. 26.-The Southern
Pacific has called upon Chairman Cald-
well. OF the Western Passenger Trunk
Line committee, for a ruling regarding
the action OF the Atchison road In re-
ducing the one way rate east from Los
Angeles. From the evidence submitted,
the chairman was compelled to declare
that the action of the Atchlson was not
warranted by the facts as he understood
them. The matter Will be Investigated
further and will come up at the general
meeting of the committee, which Is to be
held tomorrow. when the Atchson
Its intention to reduce the rates out OF
Los Angeles, 1t announced that the cut
was to be made to meet the competition
of outside lines, because" as the notice
read, we assume that all the committee
lines are observing the agreement" The
chairman decided that the Atchison had
submitted no direct evidence that the
rate was being cut by anybody: 1t was
blaming the outside lines without tangi-
BILE proof. and only on the belief that
they were cutting because everybody eN
cept them were assumed 20 be innocent.
The Atchlson and Southern Pacific con-
troll all the business in this part Of the
world. and II both roads are against 1t,
there is no reason why there should be
any cutting of rates at all The South
izer of rates. but complaints that 1t fails
to use It's influence to prevent cutting by
its connections have been very frequent.
The chances are that when the present
trouble is sifted to the bottom. 1t will be
found that 1t is only a phase of the old
trouble between the Southern Pacific
and the Atchison.
Another matter which has given rise
to grave fears of n general demoraliza-
tion in transcontnental rates has been
adjusted to the great relief of the West
ern lines. Tickets issued by the South
ern Pacific reading via Kansas City to
Omaha. thence to Chicago, have been on
the market of late That portion of the
ticket between Kansas City and Omaha
was succulent thing for scalpers and
they We're gathering in large numbers of
the tickets and demoralizing the rates
east and west from Kansas City. The
Union Pacific raised a strong voice in
protest and the Southern Pacific agreed
to take the tickets off the market. The
Union Pacific would have been compelled
to make active reprisals If the matter
had continued for few days longer.

MINORITY REPORT.
Fatal Defects Alleged to Exist In the Plan
Outlined in the Pacific Roads Bill.

Washington. Feb. 26.-The members of
the house Pacific railway committee who
are opposed to the second bill for settling
the debts Of the Union and Central Pacific
companies have presented to the house
minority report discussing the defects of
the bill from their point of view. The re-
port is signed by REPRESENTATIVES Snod-
grass (Tenn.), Harris (Nas) and Cooper
tWis). The report says: we. call atten-
ton to the following fatal defects of the
bill. While ostensibly providing for the
payment OF the principal of of the subsidy
gives to the debtor companies an option
which they may or may not accept and
during which time the burden of providing
upon the government. Should the PROPOSE
tions of the bill be accepted by the debtor
companies it will result in the transfer
of the lien which the government hclds
as to the principal of the debt to parties
whose interest will be entirely antagonistic

Other objections mentioned are that the
sinking fund must be kept intact for
government in the interest and principal
may declare dividends before they have
paid the debt to the United States. a
mention of the terminals IS omitted in pro-
visions for new mortgage, that per-
mission is given for portions Of the
porations. that all the companies are not
required TO, comply with the provisions of
the bill and finally that Il amounts to an
extension TO the companies of one year on
their debts.
A bill designed TO overcome these OBJ
jections accompanies the report.
