Arrested Presidents Chauffeur.

Washington, June 21.-It has devel-
oped that President Roosevelt's chat
feur was overhauled for speeding while
carrying the president, his son, Theo-
dore, and two of the latter's friends,
along the conduit road TO Grea Falls.
Two policemen, considering that the
chauffeur was going at speed greater
than that allowed by law, gave chase
and overhauled the automobile. When
they learned who the occupants were
they hastily withdrew after the presi-
dent had cautioned the Chauffeur to slow
up little.
The two policemen had persued the
automobile for half mile and on cat
ching up with the it,charged the chat
feur with running at the rate OF "a
miles an hour when the police regula'
tions allow but 10 miles. The police
men notified the Chauffeur that he would
be required to appear in the police
court, when the president, who was IL
the rear seat, inquired the reason. Th'
latter's identity becoming known, thu
matter was dropped. When the ponce
LINEN started after the automobile tn
Chauffeur, it is thought, probably con
cluded it was part of the program TO
the protection of the president.

Fixing Railroad Rates.
Yokohama.

Making railroad rates is like playing
q game of checkers or chess. Com
munities to be benefited, producers,
manufacturers or shippers to be aided
represent the pieces used. Every poss-
ible move is studied for its effect on
the general result by skilled traffic
managers. A false move in the max
ing of freight rates may mean the ruin
of city, of a great manufacturing in
terest, of an agricultural community.
Railroads strive to build up all these SO
that each may have an equal chance
in the sharp competition of business.
So sensitive to this rivalry are the rail-
roads that in order to build up bust
ness along their lines they frequently
allow the shipper to practically dictate
rates. Rate making has been matter
of development; Of mutual concessions
for mutual benefit. That is why the
railroads of the United States have
Voluntarily made freight rates so much
lower in this country than they are OF
