RATE QUESTION
IS DANGEROUS

BOSTON, March 1o.-"The Presi-
dents railroad policy" was the general
subject of discussion at dinner of the
Economic Club of Boston tonight.
The principal speakers were Judge
Peter Grosscup of Chicago, President
David Wilcox of the Delaware and
Hudson Railroad Company and Inter-
state Commissioner Charles A. Prouty.
Each commented at length upon
President Roosevelt's views regarding
the regulation of interstate commerce
rates. Prouty defended the proposed
national legislation Wilcox vigorous
ly opposed the interference of the Gov
ernment IN the rate question and de-
clared 1t impossible for a small body of
men at Washington to properly dictate
what the railroad rates of the country
should be. In conclusion wilcox said:
The remedy lies in the vigorous enforce
ment Of existing statutes, which will prevent
rebates and Determinations and resort by the
commission directly to the courts without dila-
tory prelinninaries. so as to secure expeditions
legislation by the only branch OF the Govern
and determine rights of property.
Judge Grosscup said that he saw Sc
rious danger in the whole question un-
less it was handled delicately not only
by President Roosevelt, but the rail-
road men.

WOMEN FOUND
IN POOLRO0M

poolroom in the rear of Jacob
Tuch's cigar store at 581 Geary street
was raided yesterday afternoon by Po-
hcemen Harrigan and Hooper Tuch,
the proprietor, and nine women were
arrested and taken to the City Prison.
While they were being booked the wo-
men talked excitedly, making COM
plants against the policemen.
Mrs. Foster of the Hotel Repellier and
her two daughters were among those
arrested. Mrs. Foster complained Wig
orously against what she alleged was
partiality on the part of one of the
policemen. She said that a Mrs. Ber-
lin was in the poolroom when it was
raided and the bluecoat walked out
with her. Mrs. Foster further saws
that Mrs. Berlin was seen to open
her purse and was heard to say, ..I
suppose l can pay my bail now" That
was the last seen of Mrs. Berlin and
her name was not entered on the prison
register.
Another woman said the policeman
took hold Of her roughly and struck
her on the nose, bleeding it. She show
ed a handkerchief with a few blood
stains on 1t in proof of her statement
One of Mrs. Fosters daughters also
complained OF being roughly handled
Most Of the women gave fictitious
names. All, with one exception, ad-
mitted that they played the races and
could not see why they should be ar
rested for doing So The exception was
deaf woman. Mrs. Foster said the
deaf woman was fortune teller and
had nothing to do with pools. The deaf
woman happened to drop in to tell any
OF their fortunes while they waited for
the results Of the races
After they were all bailed out Mrs.
Foster and her daughters complained
to Acting Chief Of Police Spillane
against the arresting patrolmen for
partiality and rough treatment. They
were informed that their complaints
would have due attention.

after the death of the woman known
as Miss Anna Mueller, teacher of
German in the public schools, also a

stantly avoided all reference to her

one occasion that Mueller was not her
correct name and said that for per-
sonal reasons she did not care to give
the name of her parents.
A will is said to have been executed
about three years ago and by its pro-
visions the deceased left her estate to
her parents in Berlin. Another will
was found and by the terms of this
instrument she beQueathed $4,000 to
Math1lda Bressler, a milliner living on

w. j. BRYAN ADDRESSES
WISCONSIN LEGISLATURE

MADISON. Wis, March 10.-On in
vitation Of both houses Colonel w. j.
Bryan to-day addressed the Wisconsin
Legislature. Governor La Toilette was
present Bryan championed the re-
form measures of the State admins
tration. He characterized Governor La
Toilette as the first and foremost cham
pion of reform in the Republican party
of the United States. The speaker op-
posed the influence of corporations
in politics, and he particularly scored
the railroads. He predicted that the
railroads would yet combine with the
Standard Oil Company in Kansas to
put out of business the State oil re-
finery. Bryan, however, believed that
Kansas people would then be aroused
to crush the monopolies in that State.
