NO GOVERNMENT RATE FIXING.
Railroad Men say II would Encourage
Rebates Rather Than Prevent Them.

WASHINGTON. April 2s.-The examina-
ton Of General Freight Agent Lincoln Of
the Missouri Pacific system was continued
by the Senate Committee Of Interstate
Commerce to-day. He was piled with
questions regarding the operation OF re-
frgerator car lines. during which II was
developed that the Missouri Pacific system
owned stock in the American Refrigerator
Transit Company, which operated some
1000 cars on that read and elsewhere. The
Missouri Pacific, he said, fixed the freight
charges on merchandise carried in re-
frigerator cars, while the transit company
fixed the charges for icing.
Mr.. Lincoln said he regarded the present
Interstate Commerce law as ample, beth as
TO rates and rebates. There was prac-
tically no giving Of rebates now. he thought
George u. Peck, general counsel OF the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul road
was the next witness. Referring to the
Esch-T Townsend bill, which conferred the
additional power Of rate making on the
Interstate Commerce Commission, he de-
clared that the failure to carry out the
present laws was due to loading down the
commission with too many duti why,
he asked give il more? In his opinion, no
additional legislation ives needed Inc
principal evil that of rebates or other
discrimination. had practically ceased,
according to the testimony Of the roads
the shippers and Of the commission itself.
He said the railroads would welcome any
legislation. crimil al or remedial, which
would In any degree make tho payment
Of relates more difficult and increase the
certait y Of detection and mishmeLt.
But substituting government made rates
In his CpiT.ion would tend 20 encourage
rebates, rather than to prevent them, He
doubted the constitutonality OF giving
a commission power to fix rates. The rate
making power on any railway was the power
of commercial life and death, Under the
Constitution it was clearly Pre- p ny night,
protected by that instrument, aud TO take
il away from the roads would be illegal.
Mr.. Peck referred 20 the immense powerthe
Esch-Townsend bill would confer on q sma j
body Of men-control Of 2l5OOO miles OF
railwrv. more than the combined mileage
of all Europe and nearly half Of that Of the
world. These five or seven men, too,
would likely be lawyers, not practical
railroad men.

Thought Anybody Cared About Him
-TOOthIess YOUNG woman Took Tooth.
ache Drops, Though Only = Friend.
When Bert Oakley died IN ST. vinoent's
Hospital two weeks ago, Of meningitis,
there was no particular sign that anybody
about the jefferson Market corner Of old
Greenwich Village cared particularly. He
was one of the sort who are apt TO hint
mysteriously that II the bartender only knew
who his people really were-and then with
the appearance Of one smothering fond
recollections in oblivion he would order a
drink for everybody.
Sometimes he rolled in wealth, as wealth
is measured in the back rooms Of Greenwich
avenue saloons, and displayed as much
as six dollars at time. Oftener he counted
out his 10 cents on the bar in pennies.
When he died there seemed TO be no one TO
whom his death brought great grief.
But yesterday 1t became apparent that
there was. girl, who didn't look much
more than 20 years old, walked into the
back room Of the saloon where Oakley had
spent most Of his time and put her head
through the door and asked the bartender
il Oakley was around.
BERT said the bartender, idly. why,
he died two weeks ago
Bert dead1' gasped the girl Not

Sure he is. Meningitis" said the bar
tender. not looking up from his polishing
OF the bar. The girl did not answer. He
looked up and saw that she was leanin &
against the door frame, half fainting. He
started to help her She revived q little
and ran into the back room again. When
he reached her she had a two ounce bottle
at her lips. The bartender snatched il
away from her and roughly pushed her
into q chair.

"Let me alone she walled. let me
die Then she slid from the chair TO the
floor The bartender ran out and called
a policeman, and an ambulance came over
from ST. Vincent's Hospital. II was said
there that she might possibly recover,
though the stun which she had swallowed
was a villainous mixture Of laudanum and
creosote intended for application fer tooth
ache.
Nothing about the girl revealed her
name OF where she lived. She had COM
plete set Of false teeth. She had been
seen with Bert Oakley once in a while
within the last few months. Last night
she revived sufficiently TO say that she was
Helen Lord, rs years old OF III Bank street.
She said Oakley was only a friend OF hers.
She was not In love with him. When asked
why she took the poison, she replied that
she took Il because she had toothache.
She then relapsed into mconsciousness.

WASHINGTON. April 2s.-The clerks in

banks Is a new gold camp on the Tanana
River, near the center OF Alaska, named
in honor Of the vlce-president Of the United
States. The post Office was established
less than a year go and Is necessarily OF
the fourth class, although the business OF
the office Is large enough 10 place It in the
Presidential class. Under the law, however,
no Presidential office can be designated
until it can be shown by full years bust
ness that the receipts have amounted TO
at least 81 900 within the year
There are about 5000 people in Fairbanks,
and the Post Office Depart ment believes
that the number will be increased to 1900
as soon as the summer mining season opens,
The postmaster gets no compens ton,
however. except from the sale Of postage

can be retained by the postmaster. Yet
il is necessary - maintain expensive quar-
tiers and a staff Of clerks, and the citizens
Of the town are paying the hons snare OIL

The clerks in the post Office have refused
TO work any longer at their present wages
for they can make better pay at placer

A similar difficulty was recently encoun-

Special Gable Despatch 10 THE Sun.
HAVANA, April 2s.-President Palma to-
day sent a message TO Congress regarding
the paving and sewering Of Havana. He
said. in substance, that il was the duty Of
the Government TO call the attention Of
Congress to the matter which was Of
serious Importance, it being within Cuba S
obligations to the United States.
He refers TO the plan for paving an d
sewering the city, which. besides being
included in the fifth article OF the Plat
Amendment, was specifically mentioned in
the letter Of Governor General Wood Of
May 20. 1902, when he delivered the Govern
ment to the Cubans. President Palma
added that the Washing ton Government
had reminded the Cuban Government Of
this fact in terms showing that it was the
desire Of the Washington Government that
the work be carried out.
Moreover, the American Government
understood that the ci had awarded the
contract for the work to Mckinney & Roke5y
and that therefore they had an undoubted
right TO carry out the contract
The President quoted from note Of
Minister Sguiers to the effect that the
general agreem contained in the Platt
amendment was made specific in regard to
Havana, but as funds are required it is
for the national Government to obtain the
funds In conclusion, President Palma said
that whatever might be the import OF the
contract to the ayuntamiento and the con-
tracing firm the obligation between Cuba
and the United States remains, and he asked
Congress to decide the matter with the
necessary promptness.
The Senate referred the message TO a com
mittee and decided 20 ask for copies Of all
Of Min ster Squiers's notes on the matter,
