DECISION FAVORs DANVILLE.
Hates to That City Are Declared to
BE Unreasonable.


Washington, March 14-Commissioner
Prouty of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to-day rendered a decision in the
case of the city of Danvine and others.
against the Southern Railway. holding
that the system of rate-making into
Southern territory under which on traf-
fic from ST. Louis, Chicago and other
points the rates 10 Danville are the sums
of locals to and from the Ohio river and
the rates to Lynehburg are made on a
much lower joint rate basis, is utterly
unreasona Die.
After saying whatever has honestly and
in good faith gone into the railroad enter
prise should be protected, the decision
holds:
But the people living in such territory
are also entitled to protection, and the
Southern Railway, by virtue of the fact
that ii has obtained possession of and now
controls the avenues of communication by
rail between the city of Danvine and the
outside world, has no right to deprive that
community of the competitive advantages
which the enterprise of its citizens in one
way or another has secured, and upon the
strength of which business conditions
have grown up; it must recognize the geo
graphical position and the commercial i'm
portance of the city of Danvile.
I'm determining the Danville rate from
New Orleans and Western points of ship
ment, the Southern Railway, which domi-
mates the situation, should instead of add
ing to the rate to Lynchburg the local
back from Lynchburg, recognize that the
business is through business upon which
Lynchburg, a competitor of Danville, en-
joys a low through rate and upon which
Danville itself is entitled to a through
rate.
IF the carriers desire to make rates in
that manner, the commission decides they
must 50 adjust their charges as not to an
initiate the city of Danville 1t is held
that rates to Danville must he adjusted
with relation to rates to competitive To-
calities like Lynchburg and the carriers
from the point of origin to destination
should prorate in these rates if they pay
tioipate in either Lynchburg or Danvilie
business
Under all the circumstances and condi-
tons freight rates from Northern ana
Eastern cities, from Western points of
shipment, and from New Orleans 10
Lynchburg may properly be somewhat
lower than those to Danville, but the pres
ent rates to Danvlle, as compared with
those to Lynchburg are declared ex-
cessive. The rates from Nothern
and Eastern cities to Danville and
those from New Orleans to Danville On
sugar molasses. rice and coffee. should
than 10 per cent. The rates between Dan
vile and the West, including the rate on
tobacco to Louisville, Ky, the opinion
SAYS should not exceed those between
Lynchburg and the West by more than 10
per cent.
The case is held open to await readjust-
ment of rates by the companies interested

CHA AND SELF GOVERNMENT.
srcRETARY ROOT INTERVIEWER
by GUALBERTO GOMEZ.

Told Him the Period of Intervention
would BE Brief-Municipal Elec-
.tons VIII Be IA Sort of Index as to
tho Fitness of Cuba for Autonomy.
cubans Must First Have Proper
rxuerience in the Management of
Governments.
Havana, March 14.-In La Discussion to-
7av Gualberto Gomez published an inter
,,ov he has had with Secretary Root.
In The course of the conversation he as
snred Mr.. Root that there was no necessi-
r., for law reform.
Mr. Root replied: How about the many
,nfried and innocent prisoners detained
in your jails?"
To this Senior Gomez answered. THAT
was not due to the law, but to bad adj
ministration and to the bad arrangements
for working the courts when the Cubans
goj into control.
Replying to another question, Secretary
Root said that the period of Intervention
would ,be brief and that everything done
In the way of changing law would be
carefully weighed.
Senior Gomez, referring to the elections,
told Mr.. Root that the interval from April
j 10 May l, was very short for making
the necessary arrangements.
With regard to municipalities, Secretary
Root agreed with Senior Gomez to the
principle of autonomy.
senior Gomez then asked when the Ma
tonal Convention would meet. Mr. Root
replied:
1T is impossible for me to say as to
that. 1t is not known yet how the munic-
ipal elections will turn out, and these
will be a sort of index as to the state of
preparedness of the country self-govern-
ment.'
Senior Gomez: 1.-THE country, considering
previous conditions, is as well prepared
as could be expected, but the Cubans have
not been allowed to make the attempt"
Secretary Root: The administration is
virtually in the hands of the Cubans Out
of 400 employees in the customs service
only four are Americans. The people Of
the United States desire that the Cubans
should learn all they can about self7gov-
eminent in order to take over the coun-
try"
Senior Gomez: although the Cubans
are filing public offices, they do not have
any ultimate authority. All this really
resides In the military representatives of
the intervening government"
Secretary Root: The new municipalf-
ties will have powers of their own"
Continuing Mr.. Root said:
MANY mistakes have been made and no
government is perfect The Cubans will
be fit to govern themselves after proper
experience"
