statement:
THE Associated Press is authorized to
say regarding the alarming rumors eDa-

measures have been taken or are even con-
templated by the Swedish government. The
Swedish squadron is only holding the usual
summer maneuvers this year near Gothen-

FAIR AND PRACTICABLE.
Commissions View Of Record Herald's
Rate Proposition.

While the members of the interstate COM
merce commission who are preparing sug-
gestions and recommendations concerning
rate legislation for presentation to the SEN
ate commerce committee in the fall would
make no comment for publication today AS
to the advantages of the plan outlined In
the Chicago Record Herald editorial in an
other column, it Is understood that they
consider 1t both fair and practicable.
But 1t is probable, however. that the
members of the commission are not yet
convinced that the plan which has been
suggested OF placing the railroads under
bond to secure differences in imposed
charges pending final adjustment would
result in wilful and unnecessary delay.
1t was learned here today on excellent
authority that number OF the leading rail-
road systems Of the country are willing to
money which is In dispute as the result Of
differences between rates fixed by the rail-
roads and those named by the commission.
This Is the more surprising inasmuch as the
plan of bonding the roads to refund such
flnally established overcharges would. 1t is
generally admitted give the railroads all
the best OF the deal.
II the plan to place such portion OF a
roads receipts as were In dispute In es-
crow were adopted. II would only be neces-
sary. In the event Of the commissions rate
being upheld by the courts, for a shipper
or passenger to produce a receipt for that
portion Of his entire payment which was
held to be excessive and receive the refund.
Under the proposed bonding system civil
suit on the bond. with all the usual vexa-
tious attendant delays. would be necessary
Where the amount was large this might
not be so bad, 1t was pointed out today.
but in the case of small sums 1t would be
entirely impracticable.

CHARGES DISMISSED.
Decisions Handed Down by Interstate
Commission

The interstate commerce commission to-
day handed down its decision In the two
cases covering .he complaint of the Char
lotte On. CO Shippers Association against
various southern railroads. involving the
question of unjust freight rates to Char
lotte from New York and other northern
and eastern ports, and from Louisville.
Chicago and other western points. and also
rates from the west as being greater for
the shorter distance to Charlotte than for
the longer distance from Charlotte TO more
distant localities
The commission dismissed both petitions
on the ground that the facts presented did
not constitute the basis for an order of re-
lief which could be enforced
AS the result of the investigation. into
the matter of charges for the transporta-
ton and refrigeration OF fruit shipped from
point on the Pere Marquette and Michigan
Central Railroads, the interstate commerce
commission today dismissed the case against
the latter road, and In the case of the for
mer declined to pass order affecting
rates for the future.

Investigating the Lanston
Machine Contracts.
THREE HEARD TODAY
ADJOURNMENT OF THE COM
MITTEE UNTIL THURSDAY.
Examination of Witnesses Will Then
Be Taken Up Again at Govern
ment Printing Office.


Three witnesses were heard this morning
In s. the investigation at the government
printing Office Of the purchase of Lanston
typesetting machines. The witnesses were
all called by the Mergenthaler interests.
First Mr. Tapley was recalled. He testi-
fed Saturday and gave his view of the rela-
tive merits of the two machines as far as
his experience went It was developed In
the hearing that B. w. Bonney, chief of the
Dup" or duplicating. division. made BIZ
monthly reports OF the relative work done
by the Mergenthaler and Lanston machines
These reports, 1t appears, formed the
basis of the recommendations of the COM
u,ittees and resulted in the purchase of the
Lanston machines.
1t was also developed during the hearing
that the work of the Lanston machine was
work of the Mergenthaler in some in
stances and the records presented as ex-
hibits showed the superiority of the Lans-
ton in nearly every test.
Reports as to the Machines.
Then B. w. Bonney chief measurer, or.
as he is technically known at the printing
office, chief of the "dupe" division, was
called His testimony related to the work
of the office and the submission of reports
from the different foremen of work done
during the day. These reports were all
tab,ilated and twice each month submitted
to the public printer. 1t Is understood that
when the committee was appointed to
make an investigation of the relative mer-
it's of the two machines these reports were
turned over to 1t and carefully considered.
Favorable to the Lanstons.
The next witness wah AL Cottle, fore
man of the fifth division, where ten Lam
stons machines are Installed. He was
questioned upon the work turned out by his
division. The committee. 1t Is understood
verified his statements by the reports OF
Mr. Bonney He is credited with having
made favorable impression for the Ian
Ston machine.
Theodore Hodes, foreman Of the Gazette
division, was also a witness and was ques-
toned as to the merits Of the two ma
chimes. In his division the Patent Office
position is done by machines. His testi-
chine.
In fact. even though the witnesses today
were called by the Mergenthaler interests.
their testimony was all favorable to the
Lanston machine.
Mr.. J. Maury Dove was among those
present today. He was not examined. al
though 1t is reported he will be called later
to testify concerning his interview with
the public printer.
There was another meeting at go this
afternoon, at which several of the wit
nesses who testified this morning were re-
called and eross-examined. When the
committee adjourned 1t was to meet Thurs
day next at $50 am.

Cards at Court.
From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
1t Is difficult to say why card playing.
though always popular at court, has al
ways been denounced officially. Even the
fact that Anne OF Austria played like a
queen. without passion of greed or gain"
did not save it from disrepute. As early as
1865 law was passed in England to forbid
card playing. except at certain times and
seasons; but Elizabeth who lost her tenn

Declined to Make Report Now.
w. H. Rossington. vice president of the

animation to be made by the representatives
of the controller of the currency.
After the examination by the govern
ment officials statement will be made
by the controller which will be definite
and comprehensive. Any statement at
this time would not be complete and
might be misleading. :
There have been no speculations? Mr..
Rossington added. The trouble has been
brought about principally through loan
ing too largely to one borrower.

ALLEGED WALKING SPEAKEAsIEs
Judge Kimball Imposes Heavy Penalty
in Liquor Case.

Officers Farquhar and Fletcher of the
fourth precinct station were doing duty on
the wharf yesterday afternoon. Fer some
time past they have suspected that some
one was selling liquor there to the passen-
gers going on and off the excursion boats.
and they were on the lookout yesterday for
the guilty parties. About the middle of the
afternoon they saw that an old shed near
the wharf was becoming very popular The
officers took up positions where a crack
n the boards fitted their eyes and they
rocked for the cause of the popularity.
While they looked they saw that there
were In operation In the place two walking
speak-easies The men had several bottles
in their pockets. and they were pouring
out glasSfuls of whisky TO purchasers. The
officers saw money pass In return for the
drinks.
After looking for fifteen minutes the Of
ficers quietly went around and into the
shed and asked the men to take a walk
with them When they were gotten outside
the crowd. they found on one Of the men
four half pints of whisky. On the other
they found pint bottle, empty, and three
half pints- Both men had little glasses In
which they sold the liquor. They gave
their names as William and Charles Cole
man.
They were arraigned in the Police Court
this morning before Judge KimbalI on a
charge of keeping Sunday bar. Charles
demanded a jury trial and the case was
therefore continued. William was tried. He
denied that ne received any money or sold
any liquor. One of the witnesses sta led that
he saw money pass.
How do you know 1t was money? Per-
haps II was tin tags or buttons" was sug-
gested by Attorney Pcyton for the de-
Tense.

From the Electrical Review.
The art of electrical heating q well de-

for heating rooms and cooking Is not ~

lies not in the heaters themselves. but In
