RATE LEGISLATION BILL
Open Letters of Former Senator
 Chandler Defining His Position.

Concord N. H., Sept. 29.-In a ser ley. of the interstate commerce com mission former Senator Wm. H. Chandler of New Hampshire, defines his attitude toward the Esch- Town send rate legislation bill to come before congress at it's next session and calls to the attention of the commission some of the dangers that beset the at tempt to pass the bill, as they appear to him.
 Mir. Chandler lays great stress on the attitude of the railroad companies and says the methods of defeating the measure to be put forward next win ter will be dangerous amendments or additions to the Esch- Townsend bill under the guise of friendly improve ments. but really as railroad tricks"
 Chandler says further:
 You cannot reasonably expect that a law can be passed through both houses of congress which shall make a reasonable transportation rate fixed by the commission, to take effect inn mediately and be in force unreversed by a court of review when Samuel Spencer in behalf of the railroads has announced that they will not permit of either two things"
 These two things Chandler charges, are giving of power to the commission to substitute in a particular case a rate or price which in their judgement is just or reasonable in the place of one judged by them to be unjust or unreasonable, "and the enactment of statutes which provide that a rate of transportation once fixed by any au- thority shall remain perpetually in force thereafter until changed by the commission or by the court"
 MT. Chandler further charges that 13,O00 millions of capital. representing, 210,OOO miles of railroad. are arraign- ed against the president in his attempt to pass railroad legislation. He also charges that by furnishing free trans portation the railroads will attempt to corrupt legislation. He asserts that lawyers, ministers of the gospel and newspapers are especially cared for by the railroads, notwithstanding that the system is grossly illegal, and closes his last letter with an appeal to the Ameri- can people to help the president.

day, is not considered here as implying that the count will necessarily be in vited to form a cabinet: On the con- trary there is a disposition in many quarters to believe that Baron Fejer- vary may be reappOinted to the pre- miership. The latter is now under stood to support the contention that Hungary has the right to establish in dependent customs in her territory. This has created a favorable impress sion.
 The nationalist students are de- manding the expulsion from universi- ties of all students of socialistic ten dencies. The leaders of the coalition majority and the newspapers are doing their utmost to calm the political pas sions and prevent a clashing of the factions during street demonstrations, warning the population that the reac- tionaries would thereby be given a preteXt for oppressive action.
 Count Apponyi also inclined to view that a solution of the Hungarian crisis will be found, suggests that the former liberal premier Koloman de SZell will be nominated by the bing-emperor to negotiate with the coalition.

Further evidencing his high concep- tion of the beauty and power of the Christian religion General Suzuki cre- dited the missionaries in Japan with becoming broader and broader in their views. "Those who came first" he said, were too deeply concerned about outward appearances. It was a mistake for them to ask at the very outset ''Do you smoke? Do you drink? Do you go to church?" for we know that when one has really entered the church he will naturally give up things that are evil. We want you to send to us good men who will convert our hearts and show us the real meaning of christi anity.
 Japan is supposed to be a non- Christian country, but there are many men, women and children in Nippon trying to be faithful to the right and to God. I myself was baptized twenty years ago. I cannot say that I am a good Christian. but am a Christian

TEXAS RAILROADS RESIST.
Ask for Injunction Against Operation
 os a New Tax Law.

Austin. Texas, Sept. 29.-Fifteen of the trunk lines in Texas appeared be- fore Judge Brooks of the 2Sth district court here today through their attOr- ney and asked for an injunction re- straining the state from enforcing the provisions of a taxation bill passed at the last session of the legislature and which will become operative Oct. l. The law permits the state to collect one per cent tax on the gross receipts of all railroads. in addition to all other taxes levied. The injunction is asked on several grounds. principally that the tax is both cOnfiscatory and uncon- stitutional. Judge Brooks took the mat ter of granting a temporary injunction under advisement and will hand down his decision tomorrow. Should the railroads have to pay this tax it will represent upwards of $15O,OOO for this year alone.

The InexpIiCabIe Suicide of
 Vim. B. TraVerS
HIS FINAL MESSAGES
Pertained Entirely to Business hat- ters With no Hint of Motive for His Startling Deed-PrOminent Club Man and Highly Connected.

New York, Sept. 29.-Wm. B. Ira vers, millionaire man of leisure, son of the celebrated wit and Wall street operator, William Travers, committed suicide today by shooting himself through the head in his apartments in Madison avenue. The suicide is mex plicable, MT. Travers being in the prime of life, fair health and the pos sessor of a large fortune.
 Travers married Miss Lilly Harri- man, sister of Mrs. w. K. Vanderbilt. Jr. The couple separated three years ago, Mrs. Travers going to Paris to live. Travcrs was an uncle of Mrs. Clarence Mackay. He had two sisters, Mrs. James Wadsworth of Genesee. N. r.. and Mrs. Walter Gay now living in Paris. Since his separation from his wife he had lived entirely alone with the care of his valet Martin Moon
 When TraVers arose this morning he appeared to be in excellent spirits and after breakfast told his valet he would not require his services during the day. Shortly after noon a maid found MT Travers lying dead on his bed with a revolver by his side. He had placed the muzzle of the weapon in bis mouth and sent a bullet through his brain. He left several letters. all relating to business affairs and giving no clue to the cause of the suicide. MT Travers never engaged in any business except when, about six months ago, as an experiment, he became a partner in the banking house of Hugh Eddy the affairs of which, however, engaged little Of his time. MT. Travers. who was forty-nine years old. was a mem Der of the KnickerbOcker, New York Athletic, Tennis and Racquet, and many Otke- clubs

PEACE AT PORTSMOUTH
Was After All, Due to Japan's Gloomy
 Financial Outlook.

Tokio, Sept. Notwithstanding the silence of the government the real fact is disclosed that Japan made peace at Portsmouth in fear of Q financial breakdown. The war prov ed more costly than had been calcu- lated and the rice and cereal crops seemed doomed to failure. Instead of sunlight and warthm during the month of August, when crops ripen, there was continued rain and exceed ingly cool weather. While some inn provement may still be in store. it is certain that the rice crop will be from 10 to 20 per cent below the average and far below last years crop when it was marvelOusly large. Six months more of war would have meant very hard times for the masses of the peo- pie who are very poor and rice is bread and meat to them.

King Emperor and Coalition
 Party
ARE EARNESTLY SEEKING
Grown Would not Wound Hungarian
 Feelings and KOssuth Announces That Hungary Desires Peace and Will not be Obstinate in Demands.

Budapest, Sept. 29.-The situation is becoming clearer, and evidence is accommodating that both the coalition leaders and the king emperor are ear nestly endeavoring to find a way out of the difficulty. Statements have been issued, emanating. it is understood, di- rectly from the entOurage of the king emperor, denying any intention on the part of the crown of wounding the Hungarian national susceptibilities. and an article from the pen Of Francis Kossuth will appear tomorrow in which the leader of the coalition will state that he and his associates went to Vienna a week ago with every peaceful intent but that they were not given an opportunity to demon strate to the king-emperor that the coalition does not contemplate any obstinate adherence to it's demands and that the Hungarian nation wishes to live at peace with Austria. These are regarded as indications that the negotiations between the crown and coalition leaders will be renewed with some hope of success.
 It is believed by well informed per sons that General Baron Fejervary will be reappCinted premier with the right 10 carry on the elections on . platform calling for universal suffrage. and that by this means the govern ment majority will be secured in the Hungarian diet Quiet has been com pletely restored in the city. There was no sign of disorder tonight
 The leaders and the king-emperor realize that some way out Of the pres ent situation must be reached at an early date, as otherwise the economic condition of Hungary will become so bad that serious disturbances cannot be avoided, if indeed a real revolution does not break out. The public ex- chequer is almost empty, owing to the impossibility of making any reg ular collection of taxes. and the pay ment of the officials, teachers and railroad employees is becoming more difficult. For these and other reasons thinking people on both sides realize that a compromise must be reached or that one side must give way altogeth- CT. A much m Ve optimistic feeling prevails tonight, especially over the fact that the public excitement has been almost completely abated.

PROMOTION FOR TAWNEY.
WILL BE WATCH DOG"
Succeeds HemensUay as Chairman OF
Committee on appropriations.
[Trom The Tribrne Bureau.l ]


washington Dec. flames A Tawney, repre-
sentative of the 1st District of Minnesota, will
be chairman of the Committee on Appropria-
tions. vice James A. Hemenway, Of Indiana,
who is now e member OF the Senate.
The promotion for Mr. Tawney is q big one,
as hitherto he has had only the chairmanship on
Industrial Arts and Expositions. which had to
do with the St Louis Worlds Fair, and was not
even member of Appropriations. In elevating
Mr. Tawney to this. the most important position
in the gift OF the Speaker, # was necessary to
pass him over the head of his colleague from
Minnesota, James T. McCIeary, but, as com
pensation for this Mr.. Cannon viii give Mr.
McCIeary Mr.. Tawney's place on the ways and

great Importance and as Mr.. McCleary is an
arch stand patter." It strengthens the 'let well

has to do with the tariff.
The Appropriations Committee is to be ma
terially strengthened n several directions 1t is
generally assumed that General Keifer. a former
Speaker of the House who returned by the
7th District, Of Ohio, will receive the place
vacated by Henry c. Van Voorhis of the same

safe that Martin B. Madden. of Chicago, who
will enter on his first term in Congress, will also

strengthen the committee in every way possible,
1t is certain that none but strong man need
apply.
In the selection of Mr.. Madden, the Speaker is
merely filling the vacancy resulting from the
death of Benjamin +. Marsh, the place belonging
properly to Illinois, provided the delegation Of
that State afforded man strong enough to fill
the requirements, and Mr.. Madden is regarded
as a business man of exceptional ability. In

Washington. Dec. 2-The Interstate Commerce
Commission today, in opinion by Commissioner
differ. announced its decision in favor of the COM
plainant, in the case OF the Red Rock Fuel Com
pany against the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company. The railroad company declined to per-
unit side track connection between its lire and
switch side track TO complaInantS coal mine IN
the Fsirmount district Of West Virginia, for the
purpose of receiving interstate shipments of coal
:trom such mine. although It has provided and
maintains side track connectons for other mines
1n that district, from which large quantities OF coal
shipped TO interstate destinations
The decision is that the discrimination is not only
wrongful between complainant and other more
Favored shippers, but amounts TO undue and un-
reasonable preference by the carrier itself, and
that order forbidding further violation Of Sec
zion of the statute should issue accordingly.

ammunition, Abraham Garrabrant, farmer Of

he hastened to the scene. When he ordered the
men to stop work they laughed at him. Richard
Garrabrant, son, who with his father, told
the latter to go back to the house and get his

When the elder Garrabrant returned he ordered
the men away, threatening to shoot. All obeyed.
For an hour Garrabrant held the fort, until
