newspaper. says:
The Foraker bill. introduced in the seaaSs on De-
cember g. seems to contain effective provisions IoC
protecting railroad extortion # any ,I railroad
trial discovers the fact, lowers the rate and the the
railroad must submit, unless court decides that
it is unlawful; that is that the rate Is so low as
lead to the coniscation OF the railroad property
Senator Foraker says that Congress cannot give
the above power to the commission. The united
States Supreme Court says II can SO the FORAKER
bill is deceptive and worthless pretending to give
q remedy and giving none. This the railroads KNOW
and therefore adopt this Foraker plan
All the railroads of the United States are author-
ICED and invited to form huge trust and naonop-
oily and to fx the rates for the whole country
THIS gives away all that has been gained by the
Supreme Court decisions In the Of the trans
Missouri Freight Association. the Joint Traffic As
ISOLATION and the Northern Securities Company. In
the Joint Traffic Association case the nine railroad
organization Of 5000 100000 of capital. made all the
rates and prohibited OF the roads from low
ering any rate without the consent OF the nine
managers of the trust. The court destroyed Inls
S. 600 10000 monster The Foraker bill creates a
$4,000 oc0000 monster, which will prevent any rail-
road anywhere in the country from lowering any
rates without the consent Of the traffic managers or

ARCANUM RAISE TOID.
Justice Gaynor Says Order Cannot
Increase assessments.

Justice Gaynor in the Supreme Court. Brooklyn.
yesterday handed down decision declaring the IN
creased assessments in the Royal Arcanun. which
have caused so much controversy since they were
adopted by the Supreme Council Of that body last
spring void so far as they refer to the ola mem
bers. The constitution and bylaws were amended
by the Supreme Council to cover the increase IN
rates The memorandum handed down with the de-
cison is follows:

Judgment for plaintiff. with costs
The plaintiff was James L. Mock, of Berkeley
Council who applied for order restraining his
council and the order from dropping him because
of his refusal TO pay the increased assessments
which went into effect on October !. The case was
tried November 20.
The decision Of Justice Gaynor is contrary to one
rendered by Equity Judge c. D. Clark in the United
States Court of the Middle District Of Tennessee on
November 2 the latter held that the only courts
which had jurisdiction in the case were those OF
Massachusetts. where the organization was incor-
porated The Brooklyn justice holds that in essence
the increased rates are a violation Of a contract
which gives him jurisdiction.
Theodore Thonet, vice-regent Of the order in this
State, said last night that the would be sent
to the Appellate Division and taken to the highest
court. if necessary. He said he was much dis
pleased at the action Of Justice Gaynor. as It
stirred up the trouble all again. after.the first
protest had subsided. Under that decision he
said, whatever increase there may be must be
borne by the new members. The decision viii be

In the decision in the case of Langan agt. the
American Legion of Honor to which Justice Gay
