Denies Any Such Power.

This power, Mr.. Spencer denied had
ever legally existed and he reviewed

the decision of the courts prOhibitIng
the exercise of the ooWer by the COM
mission in 1897
1T is also claimed" he continued.
chat this power would be a weapon
in the hands of the commission to
prevent rebates. That a rate fixed by
the commission can be rebated or
eVaded just as easily as any other. It
has also been claimed. but not Off
cially / believe. that such a power IN
the hands OF the commission would act
as a deterrent in the matter of secret
rebating and other devices for evad-
ing rate. But the use of that Wea-
non would punish not the evader Of
the rate. but the road which upheld
the rate, as it's exercise would be to
let the rate down to the lower figure
thus working no hardships on the road
making the less rate, bat furnishing
the road maintaining the regular
rate"
The most important claim in the
Whole situation Mr.. SPENCE believed
to be that such power would enable
the commission 70 prevent discrimina-
tlon between localities. This question
of adjusting rates between localities
he said was the most difficult and in
tricate of all. The present adjustment
was the outgrowth of natural comDe-
uton not only between localities.

the first direct ana official represen-
tatiVeS of tie railways to be heard by
the commission and his testimony is
regarded rs the keynote OF the oppo-
siuon to rate fixing by the govern
ment.
Mr.. spencer said the Interstate
Commerce Jaw and the commission
had been in operation for eighteen
years. Before its operation the re-
bate, the secret contract ana diScrim-
inatory devices of various kinds We're
the rue. Now the reverse is the case.
Rates are substantially maintained.
There is no difference of opinion,
continued Mr. Spencer, between the
railroads of the country. Congress and
me President Oh the subjt ct tliat re-
bates are wrong. We agree with the
language OF the President that the
highways Of transportation must be
kept open Ia ali upon equal terms. On
that basis the railway companies are
rea ~ ana anxious to aid and &C oper-
ate. But | don't think any additional
Legislation is necessary in order to
proceed against that particular class
of abuses. II such legislation does
appear TO Congress to be necessary
the railways OF the county viii Ger
tainly stand. and / have no hesitation
in saying 50, in cooperation and alG
to that end.
'That particular phase of regulation
has already been pronounced by the
commission as fully covered by exist
ing statutes. 1t simply becomes a
question of enforcement of the law"

Necessity OF Legislation.

Asking the question as to the neces-
sitY for the proposed legislation. Mr..
Spencer said about ninety per cent
of all the claims or questions of va
rious kinds which have been pre-
scented To the Interstate Commerce
Commission during that time have
been adjusted without formal hearing
and decisions on the part of the COM
mission.
That" he sal ia, docs not indicate
either q fGht or non-oc-o operation On
the part of railroads.
of the remaining ten per cent of
the work of the commission scarcely
two per cent was the subject of liti-
cation. OF 1914 cases decided against
the railroads IS went TO litigation,
showing acQuiesence Of the railroads
in four-ffths of the decisions Of the
commission. Of the 4 3 cases % re-
lated to rates and in p of these the
decisions were reversed by the courts.
Retiring to the personnel Of the
commission Mr.. Spencer expressed the
confidence of the railway word III
it. and said ii was justly worthy OF
the respect Of the country. There was
but one feature of the Quarles-COoper
bill, which he wished to discuss speci-
fcally, that was the portion confer
ring power on the commission to, sub
stitute Il rate for one complained Of
as unreasonable after due hearing.
said rate TO remain in effect subject
to change only by the commission or
by the courts on appeal by the rail-
ways.
The reasons advanced for the neces-
sity oof this power were enumerated
by Mr.. Spencer as. first that it is
merely restoring power which the
commission had for ten years exer-
Cised

ReferVoira Burst.

Loss of life and immense damage to
property followed the bursting of reser-
voirs north of Bridgeport, Conn.,, as a
result of the unprecedented fall OF rain
early yesterday. The precipitation in
Connecticut Saturday night and yester-
day morning reached total OF seven
inches. The dam at Wards Mill and
Eastou went out at o'clock this morn
ing, sending a great body Of water down
through the town of Trumbull. In a
short time the dam at the paper mill
reservoir broke. There was no warning
to the people who lived on the banks of
what is usually a small watercourse.
The house occupied by John Lesco, his
wife and several children was picked up
by the food and carried a mile below.
The LescO family were asleep at the
lime. and were rescued after a perilous
Journey. A house occupied by Michael
Moran was hurled against the Berkshire
hridoe and smashed to kindling wood,
and il is believed that Moran was
drowned. Police and fremen went to
the rescue and saved several lives.

A Long Walk.

A dispatch from York, Pa, says Mr..
and Mrs. Samuel MacShifflet, who but a
few weeks ago were well-tO-do farm ten
ants iu Rockingham county, Va, are
now walking from York, Pa, to their
former Virginia home, distance of sew
eral hundred miles.
MacSchifiet, misled by newspaper
account of the great prosperity prevailing
10 York and scarcity of labor there, came
to York recently.
On the train to York MacShiffiet lost
his pocketbook containing all the money
he had, $40. The pair arrived there
stranded, and spent the night at police
headquarters.
Just before starting, MacShifiiet said
"We are now going back to our home in
Rockingham county, and we expect to
make every mile of the trip on foot, be-
cause we will not beg or call upon chari-
ties to help us. Virginia people are too
proud to beg, generally.
al think we can get enough to eat by
working for the farmers along the way.
I only hope my wife can stand the trip.
She is not strong, and the fatigue may
be too much for her"

'lTrETHlNG PoWDERSl
Beaten by Preachers.

Rev. A. w. Genres and Rev. w. X.
Richardson, well-known ministers OF
Voedersburg, Ind, started out Saturday
night to see if the law is being obeyed
by the saloons. In order to get good
point of observation they hid themselves
in an empty box car. They were seen in
the car and recognized by friends Of sa-
loon men.
When they started home, after having
taken observations for a couple of hour,
they were followed along the railroad.
Near the Wabash Clay Works the two
ministers were accosted by the men fol-
lowing them and questioned regarding
their presence in the car. The men,
wholn the ministers recognized as saloon
keepers, became abusive and the minis
ters we're drawn into an alteration
which they tried to avoid.
Emboldened, the two men attacked
the ministers. The Rev. Mr.. Gehres
waded into the man who attacked him
and whipped him. Rev. Mr.. Richard
son, who is much smaller, managed to
hold his assailant till Rev. Mr.. Gehres'
antagonist had fed. Both Of the minis
then turned on the second man, and
we're giving him drubbing when he
pleaded for mercy aud was released.
