JEW PRAISES WiTTE.
Says He Is Only Thing Between Rus
 sa and Anarchy.

London. November 7.-Elkin Adler, brother of Chief Rabbi Adler of London who has just returned here from St. Petersburg. said today:
 Count Witte is the only man standing between Russia and anarchy. He is meeting with terrible opposition from the reactonaries who are also directly re- sponsible for the massacres in south Rus sia. Count Witte Is distinctly friendly to the Jews and is in no way responsible for massacres. It is his ambition to be the remaker of Russia. and I believe if, he is left alone, he will succeed. Count Witte's good faith is beyond all doubt"

I am heartily in favor of some measure that will afford relief. The busi- ness of the United States courts in the north Alabama district have increased to such extent as to make the needs for relief almost imperative.
 Just what step should be taken to obtain an additional judge seems to be undetermined, but the bar of the district should unite on a plan and work for 1t until Congress passes a measure provid- Ing for the desired end.
 "It Is my opinion that the coming Con- gress will pass bill giving the interstate committee power to regulate freight rates. I am sure that bill of this kind will pass the House easily, and I think that the Senate will also act favorably upon a measure of this kind. The House of Rep resentatives will certainly pass a bill by an overwhelming majority"

CHARGE DISCRIMINATION

Railroads Make Higher Rate for
ShrIners' Convention Than Was
Made for San Francisco

vi duC IOT 0dH TIaHSioSS
Here is a problem that Postmaster
Flint, chairman of the national trans
portation committee of Shriners for
their Los Angeles convention, has not
been able to solve. "If the Transconti-
mental Passenger association was able
to make a fare of $50 for the Shriners
and knights Templar conventions at
San Francisco, why is 1t that, for the
assembly of the former in Los Angeles
next May, the fare from Chicago has
been placed at $62.50?"
II the railroad companies believe that
there is $3.50 more pleasure in making
the trip to Los Angeles than to San
Francisco, Postmaster Flint is perfectly
willing that they should forget the
compliment, for the time being at least.
Railroad officials say in explanation
that they lost money on the round trip
fare of $50 and that the advance in
rates leaves them but a legitimate
profit.
The committees having this portion
Of the convention in charge, however,
have not been discouraged by the ulti-
matum of the railroads and will en-
deavor to obtain the lower rate.
