 Though Samuel Spencer, when seen, said that no conference on the rate question was necessary. the president of one of the largest and most powerful rail- road systems in the country admitted that several conferences of railroad offi- cials had been held, at which the gov ernments attitude on the rate question was discussed. Other conferences of t-e same kind he said, are to take place in the near future.

Cleveland, O., January 17.-Attorney Dawley appeared before United States Circuit Judge Wing today and asked that the amount of bail for the release of Mrs. Cassie l.. Chadwick be fixed at $15000. Judge Wing, however, placed the amount at s2O.O00, and Attorney Daw- ley said this would be furnished.
 This would release Mrs. Chadwick on the federal charges. There are, however, three other indictments against her in the Cuyahoga county courts.
 As soon as bail had been named ia the federal court, Prosecutor Keeler was asked what would be the effect on the states case.
 'If Mrs. Chadwick gives bail in the United States court" he said, she will be arrested on eapias to answer to in- dictments returned by the county grand jury. The capias is now in the sheriff s office, where 1t has been ready for some time for such a contingency.
