Before Committee.
SOME ABUSES OF THE SYSTEM

House Bill.
soMEAgUsEs OF THE SYSTEM

I'm Willing to go as far as you
will go TO stop all tfieks-whether II
Is in the form of rebates or calling q
line Of three-quafters OF mile

of the charges on route OF seVeial
hundred miles. / think majority
OF the people and of the men VINO

and the President in this mater.
don't deny the right. but d0 deflS
the wisdom OF the Government fxins
railroad rates.
This was one of the plain, blunt state
Inents made before the Senate Interstase
Commerce Committee today by Stuy-
yesant Fish. president Of the Illinois
Central railroad. He talked to the com
niittee for more than two hours, and
gave them much information from the
railroad point of view.
Mr. Newlands gave at length re-
view of economic conditions. quoting
figures md asking Mr.. Fish,s view of
the Townsend bill.
Desires to Co-ere-ate.
Il should be very glad to cooperate
with the committee in any way" re-
piled Mr. Fish. But this Is a sufnptu-
airy law-that's where all these extreme
suggestions always wind up. Just so the
limiting of dividends, as is done on New
England raods. cannot be approved In

10 get rid OF the private cars in ship
ping. I think they are an abuse, pure
and simple, and 1t ought TO be stopped.
with q few exceptions The Use we
make Of them is as little as we can
We use them only when the packing
firms insist upon 1t.
Some Exceptions
There are exceptions. but say it's
an abuse. IN the private car lines
there are men who are thereby swim
ding their own employers. Having the
power To fix his own rates for the cars
and making the railroads handle them
he can rebate the charges to shippers.
there Is not dangerous and growing g
tendency on the part OF railroads 10
increase rates arbitrarily, without re-
gard to public interest, and whether
the Government should not take steps
IL time TO check this tendency. MT.
Fisk replied:
Theoretically I should say yes 0o
the latter part OF the question:, but
practically, not. They are not going TO
egg. The railroads have developed the
country and it Is TO their own self-in-
terest to see that the country is pros
porous It is enlightened seff-expef-
ience which governs them, and acts as

A Jolly Affair.
From start to finish the banquet was
noteworthy affair, and everyone present
felt convinced that the University Club
had come to stay and that it fills
long-feit want in bringing together col
Iege men of all ages from all sections OF
the country under the common banner
of the university degree.
With almost contfnI Gus strains of nu-
sic from an orchestra in the gallery the
three hundred banqleters made merry
with viands and aiquids for two hours.
The only interruption occurred when
shout was raised for Rear Admiral
SehIey. the guest of honor, and the col
lege men rose en- masse and gave him a
round OF cheers.
Enthused by Taft.
Shortly after 10 o'clock President Taft
rapred for order and caught the fancy
and good hunor of his feIiow-collegians
by taking for his gavel a healthy-look-
ing champagne bottle which had been
tried and not found wanting. AS soon
as he rose at the head table he was
greeted with saIvos of applause Every
college man was on his feet cheering for
minutes Finally the club president
Quilted them by declaring:
