COAL CARRIERS BEFORE
INTERSTATE COMMISSION
Hearst's Complaint Against Railways
Being Given an Airing.

NEW YORK, April 21.-The inter-
state commerce commission sat in this
city today to consider the complaint of
William r. Hearst, that certain coal
carrying roads are violating the inter-
state commerce law. The defendant
roads are the Philadelphia & Reading,
the Lehigh Valley, the Central of New
Jersey, the New York, Susquehanna &
Western, the Erie. the Ontario &
Western, the Delaware & Hudson, the
Pennsylvania and the Baltimore &
Ohio.
The specific complaints of Mr..
Hearst are that the roads charge un-
reasonable rates; that they unjustly
discriminate in favor of the bitumi-
nous and anthracite coal companies,
and that they have contrived, in viola
ton OF the anu-pooling section of the
interstate commerce law, to diScrimi-
nate against the independent coal min
ing companies in favor of the compa-
MES controlled by the railroads.
The Delaware & Hudson. Erie. Del
aware. LaCkawanna & Western Lee
high Valley, Philadelphia & Reading,
Jersey Central and Ontario & Western
companies entered appearances No
answers were received when the COM
mission asked who represented the
Pennsylvania and Baltimore & Ohio.
Counsel for the complainant read a
lOIS lSI Oh the witnesses ne mas SUBJ
poenaed and expects to examine
Most of them are officers of the diff
ferent railroads. and they are called
upon to produce certain contracts be-
tween their roads and the coal COM
panies. The lawyers present replied
for majority of those called that they
were within telephone call and would
attend whenever wanted. They also
promised to produce any books or pa
pers called for.
The morning session was occupied by
summary of the complaint by coun-
sci for the complainant. and the
presentation of an exhibit showing the
tariff on ,bituminous and anthracite
coal and pig iron. Counsel for the
railroads objected to the table of tar
ifs submitted by the complainant, and
alleged that it was full of plumbers,
misleading and ineXpertly drawn.
After much argument, the commission
accepted the table, subject to correc-
ton by auditors of the commission
The complainant also submitted the
original tariff schedules of the rail-
roads on coal and pig iron and statis-
tics taken from the annual report Of
the commission. showing the average
tariff per gross per mile on the differ
ent railroads in the United States.
Most of the afternoon was devoted to
reading figures from those reports. The
commission adjourned until tomorrow.

COLUMBIA FRESHMEN
GUARDED BY POLICE.
HOOdlumism of the SOphOmOres Al
most Prevents n Class Banquet and
Results in a Sharp Clash.

NEW YORK, Nov. 30.-In order to guard
against being kidnapped by the sophomores
on their way to their annual class dinner
tonight the freshmen of Columbia Univer-
sity were compelled to have recourse to the
unprecedented step of calling on the police
for protection. In spite of this, however.
only about 100 of the $50 members of the
class were able to reach the Hotel Ansonia,
where the dinner was held. OF the rest
nearly all, including most of the football
eleven, were captured by the sophOmores,
who tied the men in twos and threes and
confined them in the rooms of the sopho-
mores. In some instances cellars were
hired and turned into prisons for the fresh
men. The football men and about a score
of others were imprisoned in the cellar of
the Phi Delta Kappa Club, from which
they escaped through a coal hole.
Sixty men found concealment in the resi-
dence near the hotel of Samuel A. Veit, of
the Standard Oil Company, whose is a
member of the class, in which they were
besieged until Mr. Veit summoned a strong
force Of police reserves, by whom they were
escorted in small squads to the hotel, the
police being compelled to use their clubs
to keep the crowd of sophomores at bay.

INTERPRETATION OF LAW
WARDEN OF THE STATE PRISON IN
DOUBT ON CERTAIN POINT.
An Opinion from Attorney Generals
Office Says Indeterminate Law
Has Not Been Repealed.

The attorney generals department has
furnished an opinion to the warden of the
State Prison in the case of a man sent up
for a year by the judge Of northern coun-
ty. The Legislature Of 1903 passed an act
making it a felony for a person. with in
tent to defraud, to give a check, draft or
order on bank or any corporation or per-
son when such bank or corporation was
not indebted to the one giving the check
order. In fixing the penalty the Legis-
lature settled on a term of Imprisonment
not to exceed five years for a violation of
this act. The Legislature did not, however,
fix a minimum sentence for this offense.
In the case in which the attorney general
was called on to give an opinion a northern
Indiana judge had fixed a pealty of one
year, on the theory that the act of the Leg
islature had repealed the indeterminate
sentence law. When the accused man ar
rived at prison TO serve a sentence of one
year the warden did not understand how a
sentence for fixed period could be imposed
under the indeterminate law and asked for
an explanation from the attorney general
In replying to the warden's query Assist
ant Attorney General Hadley announces
that the indeterminate law is not repealed
and says the department CONSTITUTES the law
to mean that a man may be imprisoned
not more than five years and may be given
as much lighter sentence as the judge may
deem wise. In fact it would be legal to
impose a sentence of from one minute to
five years If the court was so inclined

THE SUMNER LEAGUE
HAS FORMAL FUNCTION.
Newly Organized ColOred Republican
Club Discusses Subjects of
Deep Interest.

The first formal function of the Sumner
League, the newly-organized colored Re-
publican club, was held last night at the
Parker House on West Michigan street. 1t
was a dinner to which a score of WELL
known colored Republicans. who are father
ing the new organization, sat down. The
purposes and future of the league were
discussed informally during the dinner. and
then number of speeches were made, w.
]. I. Reed presiding as POSTMASTER. DR..
j. H. Ward, who was present as the guest
of the league, spoke on "The Negro Citi-
zenship,' and other toasts We're follows:
1.-The Sumner League" J. HI. Lott; THE
Negro Vote" Joseph H Broyles: 1.-The
Future of the Negro ]. Wesley Bridges;
1.-The Negro Soldier in Politics." c. w.
Brown; THE Negro and the Republican
Party W. w. Walden; 1.-The Minister in
Politics." James Johnson.
The promoters of the league were highly
gratified at the success of the dinner and
at the encouragement they are receiving
from colored Republicans all over the city.
The work of extending the organization and
building up the membership will be taken
up at once and pushed aggressively. The
Sumner League is not a mere campaign
organization-it~ Is expected to bear the
same relation to colored Republicans that
the Columbia and Marion clubs bear to the
white Republicans.

Enormous Rebates on Refrigerating

light on the secret profits amassed by

Is said that railroad representatives are to
be called into court TO give further Informal
ton on the same subject. Testimony given
by George b. Robbins. of Armour q Co.,
showed that more than 100000 had been
paid to Mr.. Watson in the last six years

loans made to Watson personally by the
Armours. 1t developed that documents that

SUCCESSFUL TRIAL OF
THE CRUISER TACOMA.
New Vessel from the San Francisco
Yards Exceeds the Government Re-
qufrement by Sixth of a Knot.

SANTA BARBARA, Cal, Nov. 3O.-The
official trial trip of the protected cruiser Ia
coma, which was built at the Union iron
works, San Francisco, took place in the
Santa Barbara channel to-day under fav-
orable conditions. The average speed made
during the trip was 1850 knots an hour and
1t is believed by the navigation officers
that when tide corrections made a still
better showing will result, as there was
heavy sea during the run up the coast. The
course extended from a point opposite
Moore's landing, about eight miles north of
Santa Barbara, to Point Conception, the
distance being thirty-two knots and re-
turn.
The machinery of the cruiser worked
smoothly and nothing occurred to mar the
trial. At the conclusion of the run of the
course of sixty-four knots 1t was the
unanimous opinion of members of the trial
board and the inspectors that the Tacoma
had proved herself a splendid boat, equal
to the government requirements in every
respect The government contract called
for sustaining average OF sixteen and
one-half knots an hour for four hours.
The Tacoma is the sixth vessel of her
class constructed for the Uaited States
navy and she is the first, it is said, to meet
the contract requirements. The Tacoma
sailed this evening for San Francisco, where
she will be prepared to go into commits
