NEW YORK FORT
 IS FALLING AWAY
Interstate Commerce Bill May Change Course Of Trade
Proposes to Remedy Many Evils Which Give Railroads the E--us to Avoid Restrictions Imposed Law Limits the Rights Of Appeal to Courts

New York. April 20.-The discrimi- naticn in freight rates against New York is probably Of tremendous inn portance in determining the movements of grain and may largely account for the decay of the port of New York.
 The committee Cn discriminati0ns in freight rates and terminal charges of the produce exchange has forwarded to Washington q memorial signed by the full committee. advocating the enact mant of the NelsCn-Co14iss bills now be- fore the house and senate. which pro pose to restore to the interstate com merce commission the power in these particular premises intended to be con- ferred upon that body by the framers Of the original act, of which the com mission has been deprived by success i've decisions Of the courts.
 The committee unqualifediy endors- ed the provisions Of the two bills which are identical in terms and which give the commission power to revise rates, | although giving 1t nc power originally to fix them. This power of revision is to be conferred practically, by giving the orders Of the commission effect be- fore they have been passed upon by the courts.
 As the matter now stands the orders Of the commission must first be passed and approved by the courts before the railroads are obliged to obey them. i Should the bills pass the raih pads will i have the privilege of obeying the com mission first and appealing afterward. ] instead of appealing first and obeying only when the decision on the appeal l is adverse.
 The proposed measures are intended ] to correct another difficulty. Hitherto l the evidence upon which the comms- ] sion has acted has been considered pri- ma facie merely. Appellants from it's
 decisions have the right to introduce ! additional evidence when the issues ara brought before the court.
 The new bills provide that the deci- sions cf the commission shall be re-
 viewed with the evidence upon which
 the commission has seen fit to act, re-
 serving to the ~ailrol ds the right to iiitrod,.ce new evidence before rEe
 coul Is only under such careful safe guards as would surely prevent its ! abuse.

ON FRENCH WORD
 MAY HANG S75, 600
Exact Translation Of "Regler' Is a
 Vital Point in Brewster Case.

Philadelphia. Apr. 2O-Upon the meaning Of the French word 'regler' may depend the result of the suit of the Commonwealth Trust company, ex- ecutor of F. Carroll Bruster. deceased, against Mrs I4ouisia Parant Colama n to recover q balance of $T500O alleged to be due fer professional services ren- dcred by the deceased husband. The trial of the suit was resumed yester- day before Judge Beitler and q jury in Common Pleas coIrt No. 1.
 Almost the entire session was deVot- ed to the reading Of the correspond ence between eX-Judge Brewster and Mrs. Coleman .or her attorneys in New to the jury that Judge Brewster nev- CT considered himself the chief counsel in the Coleman will case. and that he had accepted the payment of $25.O00 by Mrs. Coleman as q settlement in full for his services.
 As some of the letters were written in French by Judge Brewster. an instruc- ter in that language at the University of Pennsylvania was called as a wit ness to interpret some of the words used by him.
 Counsel for the defense attach spe- cial significance to the use of the word ''regler'' in a letter by Judge Brewster acknowledging the receipt Of $20OO0.
 They contend that it meant a settle ment in full, but the witnesses tasti- fled that different constructions could be taken from the word in the letter.
