BY INTERSTATE COMMISSION
Charge of Favoring Fuel & Iron Conn.,
pany May Be Resifted in
Spite Of Him.

Chicago, JAN I2.-The Santa Fe
railroad. after all, has decided it does
not desire to have its case reopened
for a new hearing by the interstate

ley has so determined. He declares
that Secretary Paul Morton, formerly
vice president of the road, had nothing
TO do with the decision.
Ripley Made Attack.
Ten days ago, after the commission,
in a session in Chicago, had shown that
the Santa Fe was favoring the Colora-
do Fuel & Iron company at the eX-
pense of rival concerns in the south
west. Mr.. Ripley openly attacked Com
missioner Prouty's motives. and de-
a rehearing The commission
ers granted it, andsthe expectation was
that the secretary pf the navy would
be witness. he h$ving been in gen.
eral charge of Santa Fe traffic at the
time the alleged favors and rebates
were granted.
Changes Mind.
But the prospects of sensational
of the case grew dim last
night. when President Ripley decided
ne did not care for it. The question
now is:
VIII the interstate commerce COM
mission reopen the case anyhow in or

hat the Santa Fe road has been break
