Rev. II. M. Baum Charged With Libel
by F. B. Wright.

Rev. Henry Mason Baum, formerly presi-
dent of the Records of the Past Explora-
ton Society, which publishes a magazine
and has an Office at 210 Sd street southeast,
was arrested yesterday afternoon by De-
tective Muller and brought to police head
quarters upon warrant charging him with
libel. The warrant had been sworn out
earlier in the day by Frederick B. Wright.
who, together with his father, George Fred
erick Wright, are the publishers of the
magazine. Baum was later released on $500
bond. which was furnished by the Aetna
Indemnity Insurance Company of Hartford.
Conn.
1t is alleged by the detectives that Baum
transferred his interests in the business to
the Wrights some time ago and came back
later from trip to the south and claimed
certain rights in the property and that
when same were refused him he immediate
ly published certain statements in pamph-
let which was circulated broadcast to the
subscribers of the magazine, and which
were, it is alleged, calculated to injure the
reputation of Frederick B. Wright and de-
stroy the circulation of the magazine
One of these circulars was sent to J. E.
Herrell, president of the Capitol National
Bank, who appears one of the witnesses.
Baum will probably be arraigned before
Judge Kimball in the Police Court tomor-
row morning.

Hearing on Private Car Line
Cases Next Week.
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion viii Delve Deeply.
MUCH GOOD EXPECTED
Sessions May Be Held in West
and South.
Gossip and Matters of Interest
in Railroad Circles.
GOOD EXPECTED

Washington, D. c., Oct. 11.-Hear-
ings will commence in this city he
fore the interstate commerce COM
mission on October Is in the private
car line cases, and although the COM
mittees of both houses of congress
have gone into this Identical question
at considerable length, the greatest
interest is manifested in the reopening
Of the matter next week.
st is believed by those who have
given the private car line controversy
their most serious consideration, that
the hearings before the commission
may be productive Of much good in
throwing additional light upon the
general merits of the whole vexed
question of railroad rates and their
regulation under government control.
The scope OF the inquiry to be con-
Quoted by the commission. for one
thing, will not be nearly so broad as
that INDUCED in by the committees Of
the senate and house, where. it may
be said without exaggeration, the meat
OF the cocoanut was often ignored for
days at a. time, in order that a minute
examination might be made of the
husk. This was in a measure newt
able, owing TO the appearance before
the two committees of theorists and
dreamers, as wen as railroad men,
business men and practical men of
affairs Furthermore, the interstate
commerce commission is composed Of
men who have made practically life
study of railroad conditions. and their
questions viii be framed with a view
OF securing Information, unincumbered
with data and not entirely gernaane.
They will proceed along specific lines
of inquiry and will endeavor to learn,
in the shortest possible time, all the
additional facts they can about pri-
vate car lines and their relation to
general freight transportation condi-
tions.
It is more than probable that after
the Washington series OF hearings,
which win probably cover a consider
able period, the commission will jour
ney to several private car line centers.
several in the west, and possibly one
or two in the south, and continue
their Investigations on the SPOT
