INTERSTATE DECISION.
Commission Holds That 1t Has Jurisdiction
Over Refrigerating Car Rates.

WASHINGTON, July "a decision of some
interest in view Of the alleged private car
abuses on railroads, was handed down
by the Interstate Commerce Commission
to-day. The case was that Of charges for
transportation and refrigeration Of fruit
by the P re- Marquette and Michigan Gen.
trail railroads.
The commission holds that railroad com.
panies are required at common law to fur
nish suitable transportation facilities, and
1t follows that the railroad companies in
this case, holding themselves out as COM
mon carriers Of perishable fruit, must pro-
vide the necessary refrigerator cars for
the traffic; that during the performance
Of the transportation the car is the car of
the railroad company using it, and its
measure of responsibility as to the suf
ficiency of the car is the same, whether
it obtains the car by purchase or lease;
that a railroad company holding itself
out as a carrier of a commodity which
can only move under refrigeration is or
dnarily in duty bound to furnish that
refrigeration. for the icing is not a mere
incident OF the transportation service, but
is part of the service itself; that refrigera
ton, being incumbent upon the carrier as a
part Of the transportation, the charge for
that service st nds like any other charge
for transportation, and it is the duty of the
carrier to publish. file with the commission
and observe its refrigeration charges. over
which the commission has the same juris-
dction as of any other charge for trans
portation; that 1t is not within the province
OF the commission to prescribe the method
or kind Of refrigeration charges which
shall be adopted by the carrier.
In this case the commission finds that the
reasonable refrigeration charge on Michi-
gan fruit shipped to Interstate destinations
from points in Michigan, based upon the
cost OF the ice actually used would be
$3.50 per ton.
For various reasons stated by the COM
mission, including the consideration that
the commission is without authority to
fix rates for the future, no order is issued
at this time.

WEIRD TALE or ROBBERY.
Victim Sure, at Least. That He Drank
Something.

About 2 o'clock yesterday morning a
wild eyed man rushed into the Union Market
police station and told story Of Icing
rolf ed at the rear Of shoe store at 6o7
East Thirteenth street. His story was
so remarkable that detectives were sent
to the place, where they found two men,
who sal d they were Abraham Goldman
and Philip Rothenberg of 10 Orchard
street.
Goldman said he owned the store and
lived in the rear. Both were arrested.
Later in Essex Market court the alleged
victim, who said he was Bernard Deitz of
TO Third street. Jersey City, said he had
gone to Bronx Park on Sunday had met
three men, had taken hoat ride with them
and had drunk something that made him
dizzy. They took him down town to this
shoe store, he said placed him in a led,
tied his hands and legs, gagged him, and
after stealing SIS and gold watch turned
him into the street.
The third man, who was not found, had
robl ed him, declared Deitz.
Dietz could not identify the prisoners
as having had hand in the alleged roll.

"frhe evidence is not sufficient" said

GARLIC MAKES 400 MISERABLE
IMMIGRANTS BAGGAGE HELD
UNDER ODOROUS CARGO.

Belongings Could Not BE Rem owed Until
Hold OF Liner Had Been Aired-Women
and Babies Held at Barge once While
Battle WaEed With OverpOwering Smells
Because their baggage was buried under
cargo Of garlic 400 immigrants on the
White Star liner Romantic, most OF them
Portuguese, were landed at the Barge
CfI1oc last nigh: too late to make connections
by rail or boat for New England, whittier
they are bound.
The garlic smell in the vessels hold, 1t
was said, was so strong that 1t was impos-
sible for the ship hands to get at the bag
gage until several matches had been raised
and there had been general airing. This
occasioned a delay at Ellis Island, and it
was almost o'clock before the first boat
load of immigrants arrived at the Barge
Office. The Fourth being holiday on
the island, 1t would have been impossible
for the newcomers to be released before
Wednesday If they had spent the night
on the island, and they elected the Barge
Office instead
That Office. however, wouldn't begin
to accommodate them. By the time the
second boat had been emptied, the pen in
the Office was jammed and the immigrants
were flowing over into the baggage room.
Finally all efforts were abandoned by the
officials to keep the crowd in order, and each
was allowed to make the best bed he cou Id
for himself
The pity of it was, though that there
were more than $50 women in the crowd,
and very many Of them had babes in their
arms. They stretched out on the floor,
some using their bandana covered bundles
as pillows, but most of them resting their
heads against trunks and rough wooden
boxes. The women wrapped their little
ones in their dresses and hugging ,themclose,
tried to make them conf ortable.
The officers at the Barge Office appre-
ciated that conditions would be almost
unbearable before morning, and. assisted
by the representatives of the immigrant
relief organizations, they began scurryng
around for quarters, 1t was ~ O'Clock
before all the immigrants had been
lodged. The lodging houses near the
Barge Office were filled, and the over
flow was distributed among the Polish
Home, the Hungarian Home and the Portu-
guese Home in Brooklyn.
1t was said that the steamship company
nights lodging An effort was made to
have some OF the railroads run special trains
for the immigrants. but they said that
would be impossible on account OF the
heavy traffic Of the Fourth. Most Of the
new arrivals had expected to 60 out last
night on the Fall River boat. They will
all be rounded up and taken to the Barge
Office again this morning.

COUNTERPEITERS PARDONED,
PRESIDENT RELEASES KINDIG
AND Jacobs FROM PRISON.
They Were Convicted OF COunterfe itins
Revenue Stamps and Sentenced to
IL Years and to Pay y SS 900 Fine,
Which the President Thought Excessive.

WASHINGTON, July 3.-The most notable
exercise OF the pardoning power during the
administration Of President Roosevelt was
made known to-day through the announce
Iuent that the President had committed
to expire Immediately the sentences OF
William Kendig and William Jacobs of
Lancaster, Pa,
In the spring OF 1899 Kendig and Jacobs.
who were prominent and highly respected
citizens Of Lancaster, we're arrested on a
charge OF counterfeiting. The arrests
caused a profound sensation, since they
were made on the day following the arrest
Of Arthur Taylor and Baldwin Bredell in
Philadelphia Taylor and Bredell had
made the cleverest counterfeit bill ever
produced in this country, and it was shown
that Jacobs and kendig were engaged in
the counterfeiting business with them.
In the fall Of 1897 bank officer in Phila-
delphia discovered counterfeit 500 Mon
roe head silver certificate 1t was sent to
the Secret Service division in the Treasury
Department and examined by experts,
but the engraving was 80 fine and all the
workmanship so carefully executed that
the ability OF the experts was taxed to the
utmost to find the one or two slight flaws
which had aroused the suspicious Of the
Philadelphia bank officer.
Within tho next few weeks twenty six
of the spurious notes were discovered in
circulation. and the situation became so
serious that the Secretary Of the Treasury
called in the whole Government issue Of 500
silver certificates and warned the public
against accepting any silver note Of that
denomination. 1t was not until 1899 that
the makers of the bad bills were discovered,
and on April Is Taylor and Bredell were
arrested as the perpetrators. They were
formerly expert engravers employed by
private firms in Philadelphia. They were
tried, found guilty and sentenced to servo
several years in the penitentiary. Their
terms recently expired.
On April 10, 1899, Jacobs and Kendig
were arrested. Both were cigar manu-
facturers, and the trial showed that al
though they had had nothing to do with
the Issuance OF the counterfeit 500 silver
certificates, they had arranged with Taylor
and Bredel to furnish them counterfeit
internal revenue stamps for placing on
boxes Of cigars. The counterfeit stamps
actually used amounted to many thousands
Of dollars. Jacobs and kendig were SEN
fenced in June. 1900, to serve a term of
twelve years each in the penitentiary and
to pay fine of 5000.
The President gives as his reason for
committing the sentence to expire i'm
mediately that 1t was in his opinion ex-
cesSiye.

HOTEL BELMONT DEADLOCK.
Kitchen Outfltters strike to Compel Sub
Contractor to Recognize Their Union.

There is a mix-up over the arbitration
agreement of the Building Trades EN-
ploye rs Association regarding a strike
of the range mounters and kitchen out
filters at the Hotel Belmont in East Forty
fourth street The general contractors
are Marc Eidlitz Son d Co., and the range
mounters who struck were employed by
the Duparquet Huot & Moneuse Company.
as sub-contractors.
The company employed union men at
the hotel, but there was a strike at it's
shops for recognition of the union and the
employees went out at the hotel. All
kitchen work is stopped, as the firm Is
prevented in the meantime from employing
non-union men. There is a difference Of
opinion as to whether. the general con-
tractor being a member of the Building
Trades Employers Association, it would
or would not be a violation of the arbitration
agreement if non-union range mounters
were put to work, though by a non-asso-
citation firm.
