PROFESSOR TALKED TO MILLERs.
Delivered Address on Governmental
Regulation Of Railway Rates.

KANSAS CITY. Mo-. June 9.-Prof. Hugo
r. Meyer of the University Of Chicago adj
dressed the national confederation OF mill
ers today on the question of governmental
regulation OF railroad rates. maintaining
that wherever the public regulation or
railway rates has sought to do more than
to eliminate secret rebates and to guaran-
tee that rates shall be reasonable per sc, 1t
has arrested the decline of railway rates
and has led to the adoption OF the distance
tariff
The conflicts of interest between rival
producing regions. milling centers and
trading centers are so fierce he said that
no government that permits itself to be
drawn into them can stand up under the
sectional feeling thus aroused. unless that
government shall settle these conflicts upon
some hard and fast mechanical basis which
permits OF no exercise of judgment or dis
cretion.
The interstate commerce commission de-
veloped certain mechanical hard and fast
rules for settling these conflicts of locali-
ties and interests. the doctrine that rail-
way rates must be based on relative costs
of transportation. and that they may not
be based on commercial considerations. as
we'll as the doctrine that no person may be-
deprived OF the advantages accruing to him
by virtue of his geographical position: or
conversely. that no person may be relieved
of the disabilities under which he labors by
virtue of his geographical position.
These doctrines result In rates made on
the basis of distance. Therefore, the i'm
portant decisions of the commission have
generally been made by means of the applI-
cation or the distance tariff.

Sudden Withdrawal of the
Brown Troops That Have
Been Pursuing His Beaten
Army Toward the North

ST. PETERSBURG, March 2S, 6
a. m.-The Official Gazette announces
that General Kaulbars, commander OF
the Third Army, has been appointed
to the command of the Second Man.
churian Army and that General Bat
Jamoff has been appointed to the COM
mand of the Third Army.
ST. PETERSBURG, March 2S.-The
impression prevalent in some military
circles that the Japanese. having re-
moved the possibility of the main army
in Manchuria assuming the initiative,
will now turn their attention to the
next. objective of the war, Vladivostok,
is strengthened by the press dispatch
from Gunshu Pass announcing the
withdrawal of the Japanese from the
immediate front of the Russian army
for distance of thirty-five miles south.
1t is realized.' of eourse,.that this may
be merely blind to cover f1anking
operations, but 1t is not improbab BILE
that the Japanese having cleared
Southern Manchuria of Russian troops
and secured position whence expul-
sion would be long and difficult pro-
cess, may be satisfied to hold the Tie
Pass line without further extension of
communication.
While the voice of the Emperor's ad-
visers Is for peace, If honorable terms
are obtainable, the Government, as Is
the part of wisdom, is going forward
with all provisions for the continuance
of the war Preparations are reported
to be making for the mobilization of
five corps. 1t had been understood that
the Guards would be retained at ST.
Petersburg, but some of the officers of
this crack organization believe their
services have been requisitioned and
are making preparations to that end.
There has been recrudescence of re-
ports of change in the head of the
War Office. 1t was said last night in a
usually well-informed source that
Lieutenant General Sakharoff would
leave very shortly and be succeeded by
General Ridiger, now chief. of the chan
cellory of the War Office. It also is
reported that General Polivanoff will
be appointed chief of the general staff
Both ,Polivanoff and Ridiger are of the
younger school of generals, but have
high repute as theoreticians and ad-
ministraters. General Ridiger is the
author of "a number, of textbooks on
tactics. trt<
The Government is advised that
Chinese bandits are appearing in great
numbers along the Siberian Railroad
and causing interference with the train
service.

in Sections of the Empire

YALTA, Crimea, March 81. = The
situation here is becoming worse.
Rioters have destroyed nearly all the
warehouses and vodka shops and the
police station, and a number of stores
have been set on fire. Troops are
guarding the Postoffice and Treasury
building. The arrival of reinforce
ments of soldiers is expected moment
arily.
SEBASTOPOL,. Crimea, March 27.-
The news of the disorders at Yalta
greatly excited the local population.
According to the latest advices, the
Chief of Police of Yalta has been seri-
:ously wounded. Warships and three
companies of soldiers are being sent
thither. Passengers bound for Yalta
are remaining here.
ST. PETERSBURG, March 2S.-The
internal situation is causing great anx-
iety, though 1t is said that the intel
lectuals" and the educated classes gen.
orally disapprove of the revolutionary
spirit which is permeating the peas
antry and laborers in Poland. The
Crimea is burning with dissent and
the strong hand of the military has
been invoked to crush the incipient
revolution at Yalta, near the Emperor s
summer residence. The spirit of dis
order has spread to Sebastopol.
Moderate Liberals in ST. Petersburg
are becoming alarmed at the situation,
reports having been received showing
that an actual revolutionary propa-
ganda is being pushed with vigor in
many sections of the empire. The
authorities of the Government of Sara
toff are closing the schools there on ac-
count of the peasant disturbances.

Warsaw's Chief of Police VIII Recover
From His Injuries.

WARSAW, Russian Poland. March
27.-Baron Won NoIken, Chief of Po-
lice of Warsaw. who was injured by
the explosion of a bomb yesterday,
owes his life to the bad aim of his as
sailant, who threw the bomb behind
instead of underneath the carriage.
The body iof. Won Nolken was pierced
by innumerable splinters of the bomb.
His assailant has not yet been found.
The. Baron is, believed to be out of
danger, but is suffering intensely.
The man who had previously thrown
a bomb into the police station at Pra-
ga, suburb of Warsaw, injuring six
policemen, is believed to be dying.
He was injured by a fragment of the
bomb, as well as by bullets fired at
him by the police. He has been iden-
titled as locksmith named Stephen
Okrjeiaja, Is years old, and resident
of the Novominsk district.
Further investigation shows the
care with which the plans of the con-
spirators were laid. A number of per-
sons of the poorer class proceeding on
different streets in the direction of the
place just before the bomb was
thrown were warned, by persons evil
IDENTITY posted for that purpose, to go
in some other direction.

Grand Jury Is After Police

Will Be Made Seeking to
Remove Him From Office
POLITICAL ACTIVITY

Said to Have Done Work at
Primaries When Schmitz's
Administration Gave Aid
to the Horses and Carts

Police Commissioners Thomas Raaza,
is next In line for accusation bv ths
Grand Jury. According TO presant
plans. presentment viii be returned
against him before the week Ia over
charging him with misfeasance. II is
alleged that in the primaries. last An
gust the Commissioner was a leading
political worker, an offense specifically
designated by the charter as cause for
removal Of member OF the Board OF
Police Commissioners
The presentment will mean that the
District Attorney must proceed against
Reagan to remove him from Office. The
evidence against the Commissioner is
said to be clinching. During the pri-
mary campaign he had charge Of the
forces Of the Horses and Carts organ
ization in the districts south of Market
street, and the prominent part he took
in that factional fight in the Demo-
cratic party has been well known.
Reagan participated in this political
warfare because the Schmitz adnfnfs-
tration affiliated with the Horses and
Carts in the effort to wipe out the Nc
Nab faction. The Commissioner owes
his position on the Police Board to his
work among the labor union men south
of Market street. He was at one time
president OF the Street PAYERS Union.
The Grand Jury has been quietly
gathering evidence and the statements
the witnesses have given are regarded
as strong. There can be no more de-
moralizing factor In politics than a Po-
lice Department In the control OF un-
scrupulous politicians, and nothing will
demoralize a police force more rapidly
than allowing 1T to engage In politics.
So say the grand jurors. and they are.
determined that an example shall be
made of Commissioner Reagan.
Investigation Is also being made. Ii is
said. as to Commissioner Drinkhouse's
activities at elections.

ON YENEzU Ella
Castro Threatened by the
Colombians and by His
Enemies in His Own Land
DEFIANT IN ATTITUDE
Danger That He Will Pro-
woke Neighbors Beyond En-
dllrance and Stir Up Strife

TRINIDAD, March 27.-President
Castro has again refused to resume
diplomatic relations with Colombia,
and in so doing has created situa-
ton which many South American dip
iomats fear will lead to war between
Colombia and Venezuela
Last year President Reyes visited
President Castro in Caracas and it was
rumored at that time that their differ
ences were partly settled, but such was
not the case. President Castro has
persistently refused to permit Colom-
ola to carry on trade, except under
conditions which are almost prohibi-
tory, through Maracaibo and other
ports near the eastern boundary of
Colombia.
This discrimination against Colombia
mas almost ruined the trade of one of
the richest sections of the republic and
has also brought great loss to Vene-
zuelans who depended on that trade.
PRESIDENT Castro has disregarded the
requests of both Venezuelans and CO.
lombians, however, his purpose being
TO punish Colombia for it's alleged as
sistance to the Matos revolution.
AT present Colombia is in such an
unsettled condition and its finances are
81 ioW lldt war seems unlikely, Dut
diplomats familiar with South Ameri-
can politics believe the time is not far
distant when Colombia will take arms
against Venezuela If the commercial
restrictions placed upon the eastern
part of Colombia by Castro are not
modified
Curacao has ceased to be the head
quarters for Venezuelan revolutionists
and they seem to have centered their
activity on this island. 1t is rumored
here that financial assistance has come
to the enemies of President Castro and
that General IParades is the leader
chosen to head the movement. ,sf
Although persons familiar with the
situation and the strength of Castro's
resources believe no revolutionary
movement will be effective, still the
activity of the revolutionists is a
source Of constant annoyance to him,
and they seem to be stronger now
than at any time since the close of the
Matos revolution.
Officials In Caracas have been much
disturbed by the rumors of activity in
recently was cut to prevent the reyo-.
lutionists here from communicating
with their party in Venezuela and on
the island Of Curacao.
President Castro has increased his
military forces in Caracas to 1000. The
country districts have been drawn on
for soldiers and within three weeks
the number~of troops in the VeneZue-,
Ian capital has been. raised from 500
to its present strength
