AGREEMENT OF RAILWAYS
Hearing Begun Of the Joint Traffic Asso-
citation Case.
A Formidable Array of Distinxuished ID
Counsel Before the United States
Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court of the United States
today began the hearing in the Joint Traf-
fic Association case, in which the United
States seeks to have the agreement on the
part of the thirty-one leading roads of the
country constituting the traffic association
as formed in 1885, set aside and declared
null and void, and to have the association
enjoined from operating under this agree
nent.
The case has proved to be the means of
collecting the most formidable array of
counsel on the side 'of the defense that has
been seen in the court room for many a
day. The list included ex-senator George
F. Edmunds of Vermont, j. E. Phelps. ex-
minister to England. and James c. Carter
o1 new YORK, each OF whom, it was an
nounced, would speak Solicitor General
Richards appeared for the government. The
time for the presentation of the case was
extended SO as to give the counsel for the
railroads four hours, making six hours for
the entire hearing.
Mr.. Richards Argument.
Mr.. Richards opened the case. He cited
the agreement between the railroads, and
asserted hat it was in contravention of
'he interstate commerce law, in that it
sought to restrain trade ana commerce
among the several states and to prevent
Ap>.ieioi iAS oSSidiSu also tndt 1t viO-
lated the antitrust law. Mr.. Richards de-
pended largely upon the decision of the
Supreme Court in the Trans Missouri
freight Association case as precedent in
this case, arguing that there. was practi-
oaliy no difference between the agreement
In that case and the agreement of the
roads which were parties to the Joint Traf-
fic Association.
he said there were nine trunk lines em-
Traced in the association, and that the OBJ
Ject was to cover all competitive traffic
Passing through to from the western
terlnini of these lines and thus to practi-
cally control The transportation business of
the country. He said the board of man
ayers had not only full control of the COM
petitive business OF the various lines, bu.
that they were authorized to distribute the
traffic among the parties to the agreement.
He argued that in this case, as in the
trans-Missouri case the court was not call
ed upon TO deal with the professions of the
members of the association, but with the
question as to the violation of the law,
which was evident. The point was whether
the agreement restraints trade and COM
merce, and that 1t did the government had
no doubt. Indeed, such an admission was
practically made by the agreement itself.
The antitrust law which the court had de-
ctied In the freight case applied to rail-
roads was the law of the land. Compared
to the agreement iE this case, he said the
agreement in the trans Missouri case was
crude and inefficient as an instrument for
sitting trade. He then read and compared
the articles of agreement in the two cases
to sustain this point.

DEFENSES OF WASHINGTON.
The City Regarded as Safe From A
tack by Water.

The City Regarded as Safe From At
tack by Water.
Thanks to the promptness and efficiency
OF the chief Of engineers and the chief of
ordnance of the army, the city of Washing
ton is now regarded as being well nigh
safe and secure from attack by water The
fortiicauons at Fort Washington and
Sheridan Point, on the opposite side of the
Potomac, are sufficiently advanced to be
able to repel an ordinary fleet of invaders
and in case of necessity they could be
vastly strengthened in comparatively
short time. These defenses are considered
Suff1cient to keep all hostile vessels beyond
the range Of gunshot of the national cap
ltai. Chief reliance is placed on three
S-lnch and two 10-inch guns of approved
modern type, mounted on disappearing car
r1ages, fully protected from the fire of a
foe. In addition to these there are the old
batteries, including three 5-inch smooth
bore guns and mortars.
Moreover, the river has been blocked off
and prepared for mines and torpedoes AT a
point below the fortifica tions already mem
TONED, so that 1t is probable some OF the
ships Of an enemy would be blown out of
the water before it would be necessary to
use the guns at the forts. The batteries are
most eligibly located and command a view
OF the river for miles below. Owing to the
comparative shallowness of the channels
1t is hardly probable any big battle ships
or heavy cruisers could proceed very far
up the river, so that the only danger to be
feared would be from visits of light
draught cruisers and small gunboats of the
type of the Helena. which recently made a
visit to the Washington navy yard. Invad-

Assay Office at juneau.

Senator Shoup of Idaho had a conference
today with Director Roberts of the mint
bureau about establishing an assay office
for the United States at Juneau, Alaska
The American miners in Alaska think they
ought to have such an office for the assay
and purchase of their gold. As the matter
will rest entirely with Congress in estab-
fishing such an office, Mr.. Roberts decline /.
to make a recommendation in the matter.
The stumbling block in the way of such a
recommendation by the government would
be the risk to the government of the trans
fer of the gold to this country. At present
this transportation is at the risk of the
owners. Senator Shoup has received a
large petition from American miners favor
ing the office, and will introduce in Con-
gress bill to provide one.
