Washington, April 18.-Edward j..
Davis of Greenfield, Mass, who was a

He swore that Captain Glenn had
given the orders for this treatment of

ness said that when the victim Of the
cure was filled with water the men,
bers of the detail would force it out of
him by rolling their fists over his stom-
ach and that the process was kept up
for about ten minutes.
He described the second application

Tells of Torture of Others.
The witness also repeated the state.
ment that two police officers of the
town of Igbaras had been subjected to
the water cure. "There was" he add
ed, "also native schoolteacher there
who was maltreated at the same time,
but the water cure was not admins
tered to him. He was taken into one of
the back rooms of the convent by Dr.
Lyons, who secured the information he
wanted from him by placing two Colts
revolvers to his head, thus rendering 1t
unnecessary to administer the cure"
Mr.. Davis also gave the details of the
burning of the town of Igbaras, which,
he said, contained about 10000 people,
but no business places. All except
about fifteen houses were destroyed,
and men, women and children were
forced out Unfortunately. He said
that Captain Glenn gave the order for
this.
The witness stated in reply to ques-
tons that the torture in all the in
stances mentioned had been conducted
by the regular soldiers and that they
had not been participated in by the
members of his regiment, the Twenty
sixth volunteers.
"My orders were," he said, ito treat

He added that he had talked with
the regular soldiers about the water

that it's administration was not of rare

Interstate Commerce Commissioner Takes as His Subject "The Cause of the Steady Advance
 in Freight Rates"

Chicago, April 1.-Two hundred men, Association, and their invited guests were present at the banquet of the organiza- ton which was held this afternoon. The program called for but one set speech, which was delivered by Interstate Com merce Commissioner Charles A. Prouty of Vermont
 Mir. Prouty's subject was, 'u'he Cause of the Steady Advance in Freight Rates" He said in part:
 l Was little astCnished and a good deal pleased to know that you were be- ginning to realize here. at the center Of railway operations. that such a thing as an advance in rates was possible. The general inlpre ssi0n Is the other way. The statement that rates in the United States are the lowest in the world, that they are too low, that they are continually becoming lower, has been so consistently circulated tn 1t t has come to be almost an axiom that discri mi la ton Is the only real evil and that there is no possible larger to be apprehended from unrca- sonably high rates.
 My own opinion Is. and always has been. exactly the other way. While 1t Is perhaps true that the crying evil of to- day is the railway preference, and while the magnitude of that wrong can scarce. ly be over stated. the ultimate dange: which confronts us is the excessive trans portation charge; that this species of property, largely owned and entirely con trolled by the very wealthy will impose upon every other species of property, and therefore mainly in the end upon the poorer classes. an unjust tax. Monopoly has been odious in all ages not because 1t discriminates. but because 1t extorts. We are face to face with railroad mo-
