SAN FRANCISCO, Sept I, The steam

rived to-day with the following Ha-
waiiRn adviccs:
Francis NJ. Hatch, minister to Wash

information which will require the

already been issued 30 the
members Of the latter body calling up
ON them to meet in extra session Sep

INTERSTATE TRAFFIC
An Interesting Opinion Delivered
by Chairman Morrison.
A CASE Of UNJUST DISCRIMINATION,
While Charges Should be Sufficient for
Fair Return on Actual Investment
They Should Not be Grossly
Discriminating.

WAsHGNGroN, Sept THE interstate
commerce commission, in an opinion
by Chairman Morrison, has ''recom.
mended' reductions of freight rates to
Eureka Springs, Mo-, over the Eureka
Springs and st. Louis q San Francisco
railways
The Eureka Springs railway has for
many years carried to its terminus
freight at greatly reduced rates when
intended for points beyond, to be
reached by wagon transporta-
tion. The commission holds this
arrangement does not make the rail-
way company carry beyond Eureka
Springs, and that such lower rates are
discrimination against Eureka
Springs and its business
The opinion continues: That trans
portaton charges should be liberal,
until the earnings are fully sufficient
for fair return on actual. investment
will hardly be questioned, but it does
not follow that rates long main
tanned and grossly discriminative
must be continuous and may
be lawfully eXacted year by year,
though it be assumed that railroad in
vcstment or property is SO much more
inviolable than other property that its
owners must bear none of the losses or
disadvantages incident in industrial or
financial disarrangement, and that
transportation charges are never ex-
cessiye when the annual net earnings
are less than the amount necessary to
the reasonable annual income on such
property and investment
The opinion is, however, particular
ly noticeable in that it calls attention
to and interprets the recent decision Of
the supreme court regarding the power
of the commission to fix rates which
shall control in the future. OF this de-
cision the opinion says
"Under the law as construed by the
court, the commission has power to
say what, in respect to the past,
was reasonable and just but TO
rates complained of as unreason-
able, unjust and unlawful, and SO
found to be by the commission, it can
make no provision or order for their
reduction, which the court is not re-
quired to enforce or the carriers
obliged to obey When the rates are
found to be unreasonable, the commits
sion can declare them unlawful and
recommend their reduction, and
where, after investigation, rates of
carriers complained of, are found to
have been in the past, and still to be
unjust, unreasonable and in violation
of the statute, it is made the duty of the
commission to notify and request car
riers to cease and desist from such vio-
lations"

ALLEGED SWINDLER.
Tho Police Of San Francisco Think
They Have a Good Catch.
"SIR HARRY wESTwO0O COOPER, NJ, o."
That is Who IA, Claims to Be, But
the Authorities Think Otherwise
Wanted for Fraudulent Work
Done in Eastern Cities.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. In the per-
son Of Sir Henry Westwood Cooper, NJ.
D., now conhucd in the city prison,
Chief of Police Lees believes that he
has behind the bars one of the most
notorious bank swindlers who ever op.
Grated in this or any other country,
despite the fact that he is under 3C
years OF age. He was arrested at tho
Langham hotel, and dispatch OF in-
qutry as TO Cooper was sent TO the
Bankers Protective association, and
there came back the reply that he was
noted swindler and was wanted by
the association for fraudulent work
done in the east.
Soon after Cooper's arrest his room
at the Langhom was searched by de.
tectiyes, and in his trunk were found a
lot of certified checks and drafts
which the police believe to be
bogus. Cooper claimed that he
was a nephew to the late SIR Ashley
Cooper. surgeon to Queen Victoria,
who, he said, had died six months be-
fore, and that he had come in to Sir
Astley's title and succeeded 10 his vast
estate in Australia with a present value
of 5000, 600
Having created the desired impress
sion by his talk Of titles, estates and
possessions, the police say that Cooper
began his fraudulent work, and they
claim that before he was caught he
had succeeded in victimizing a number
of people,
1t was but day or two ago that
Cooper for the purpose, as is claimed,
of assuring John p. Gallagher, the
proprietorof Langham, of his unstiuted
financial resources, gave into Gal
lagher's hands a draft on a Chicago
bank for Ss5, OJ0 This draft is now in
the possession of the police, and they
confidently assert that they viii prove
it to be worthless.

crowds on the outside peered at them
through the fence pickets.
The new teachers hired by the Spring
Valley Coal Co, faction of the school
board, many of whom do not live here,
have many things against them iThe old
teachers who were reinstated by the
anti-compahy members seem to have
the sympathy Of the pupils In many
rooms the children refused to recite
their lessons for the new teachers. The
fight between the contesting ianitors
is also warm.
