A POOLING.I.AW
NOW PROBABLE.
Interstate Commerce Com
mission Is Favorable.
RAILWAYS TO CONCEDE IT'S DEMANDS.
VIII Agree to a Compromise Civ
ing It the Right to Fix Maximum
Rates - The President Favors
Amendment of Present Law.

II is learned at the Interstate Com
merce Commission that in all probable
itv a law will be passed by the present
session Of Congress to allow the railways
Of the country to enter into pooling ar
rangements. There has been some differ
ence of opinion in the commission regard
ing the desirability OF such law, but
IL is understood that IS a body it is now
in favor OF allowing pooling agreements
urovided the commission Is given super
vision over them, and also given control
over freight rates. The railway interests
generally. it is said, are willing TO con-
cede TO the commission the right TO fix
maximum rates and TO enforce its de-
cisions for the sake of obtaining in return
the right TO make pooling agreements.
President RooseveIps Views.
The Presidents message takes up the
long-debated question OF the relation be
tween the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion and the railways very much along
these lines. The paragraphs on the sub
fect are explicitly in favor OF amendments
TO the present law giving the commits
sion greater power as to the supervision
Of rates on interstate commerce. and max
ing It possible 10 enforce its rulings in
the courts II necessary.
There is no direct recommendation In
favor of allowing the railways 10 enter
pools for the fixing and maintenance OF uni
form rates. but authorities on the subject
state that the intimation OF favor toward
the plan is so sufficiently clear as not
10 be capable OF any other lnterpreta-
ton. President Roosevelt ssys:
Those who complain Of the manage
ment Of the railways allege that estab-
iished rates are not maintained; that re-
bates and similar devices are habitually
resorted TO: that these preferences are
usually in favor Of the large shipper: that
they drive out OF business the smaller
competitor; that while many rates are
toe low, many others are excessive; and
that gross preferences are made. affect
fng both localities and commodities.
Upoa the other hand. the railways assert
that the Interstate commerce law. by its
very terms. tends TO produce many of
these Illegal practices by depriying car
riers Of that right OF concerted action
which they claim is necessary TO estab-
lish and maintain on-clscriminating
rates.
A Change i'm the Layy Favored
.'The act should be amended. The rail-
way is a public servant. It's rates should
he just 10 and open 10 all shippers alike.
The Government SHOULD see to it that
within its Jurisdiction this is so and

CORONER SAYS ALCOHOLISM.
But Physicians Said Laudanum
Caused w. w. Brooks Death.


Despite the fact that the physicians at
the Casualty Hospital announced that
William W. Brooks died of laudanum
poisoning. the Coroner yesterday gave
certificate of death from alcoholism.
No autopsy was performed
Brooks wasfound in an unconscious con-
dition about midnight Sunday in little
shanty at II D Street northwest, where
he had lived for the past eight years. He
was hurried to the Casualty Hospital.
where the physicians declared they de-
tected unmistakable symptoms of lsu-
dauum poisoning. Brooks was uncon-
scious and remained so until he died,
about 1880 o'clock Monday night.
No trace of laudanum bottle was
found in the shanty. but there was
partly emptied whisky flask. Of which
Brooks had been a frequent user. The
absence OF a laudanum vial, the positive
diagnosis of the physicians in attendance,
and the condition of the premises lent
color to suspicious OF foul play.
telegram was received by Captain
Boardman from Robert E. Brooks,
brother. at Nashville. Tenn, asking as to
his condition No reply has come to a
message announcing the death.
The body is at the morgue.

Unjust discrimination" IS the com
plant of fifty or more policemen who
guard the National Capital street cross
ings in regard to the recent action of the
police powers In refusing to allow the
crossing men to pay for their recently
adopted brown helmets on TIE installment
plan.
New Helmets Ordered.
Not long ago Chief Sylvester decided TO
change the headgear OF the crossing men
in order that they might be distinguished
from members Of the regular force Dark
brown helmets were determined upon.
At this action the crossing men took
no offen,e Harmony prevailed until yes
terday afternoon. when the men repaired
to a local hatters establishment TO be
provided with their new headgear. To
their surprise and Indignation they were
informed that the powers who be- had
ordered that the crossing men must pay
for their new helmets before receiving
them, instead of allowing the bluecoats to
pay for them by January l, as has been
the custom in the past.
Did Not Have the Tricc.
Nearly all of the men had spent the S75
Of wages drawn last Monday, and conse-
ouentIy did not have the necessary $40
to give up. The proprietor OF the store
where they went to secure their hats
would have been willing to let the auxii-
iary policemen pay for their headgear at
the first of next month, but was unable
TO do so because OF the positive in,er-
diction made by the police officials.

time nothing could be more foolish than
the enactment of legislation which would
unnecessarily interfere with the develop
ment and operation of these commercial
agencies"
The Commissions Hands Tied.
The statement may be made on very
good authority that this view is the one
entertained by the commission as a body.
The commission is now framing its an
nual report. and one of the chief sub
jects treated is this question. As in for
mer years, the report Will make a siren
uous plea for more power, asserting that
under the present law its bands are tied
and its ability to stop abuses and remedy
evils almost nil The commission Will be
more explicit in its favorable attitude
toward pooling agreements than the
President is, and Will virtually agree that
they are necessary for the maintenance
OF non n-discriminating rates.
The railway presidents Of the country
will meet in New York tomorrow for the
discussion OF the entire broad question,
and IL is known that they too, or a. least
the majority OF them. will be in favor OF
the compromise of Government control
and the right to maintain pools. The
meeting Will be a secret one. and it is
not likely that any definite information
regarding the action will find its way TO
the public Immediately, but the views OF
individual men are known and from them
II is asserted that there can be no ques-
tion as TO the general line Of the discus
sion that viii take place and its re-
suits.
To Frame Bill.
Later in the year. or perhaps not until
! the frs, month OF next year. there will
be conferences between railway men and
I the Interstate Commerce Commission. and
a bill acceptable to both parties will then
/ be framed.
! There has been some suggestion that
/ the railways viii propose bill TO give
| the commission supervision over rates
only where pooling arrangements re en-
/ tered into. Such a bill would allow any
! railroad averse to supervision to remain
/ ont Of the pools. 1t Is known that the
| commission viii not favor such law, and
/ it is thought to be hardly probable that
I the proposition viii be taken up seriously.
/ II is pointed out that such a law would
! be little. If any. better than the present
one, as the railways remaining out af the
] pool would be able practically TO nullify
! It's effect by cutting rates on long hauls
| and advancing rates On competitive
| business.
The struggle on the part Of the coiamis-
! sion for more power and on the part OF
the railways for pooling rights has been
/ going on for a number Of years. Each
party has been unwilling to concede the
| rights Of the other, and together, work
! ing against each other they have been
I able to bring enough influence TO bear in
! Congress to prevent the passage of any
! law whatever up TO the present time.
