BATTLE
WITH ARMOURS
INTERSTATE COMMISSION IS
INVESTIGATING
Private Car Lines VIII Be Involved In
LEGAL War-RaIroads Give
Lower Rate for Re-
frIeeration
BY Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S. - What
promises to extend into a legal and
legislative battle against private car
lines was precipitated by the interstate
commerce commission by the course
chosen today at the beginning of the
hearing instituted to show the conneC-
tion between refrigerator lines and
railroads.
Counsel for the commission directed
every effort to bring out the fact that
great railroad systems operating their
own refrigerator lines give to their
shippers a much lower rate for refrig-
Grafton than is obtained on roads that
are compelled to operate in connection
with private car lines. In this the
railroads, notably the Illinois Central
and the Pennsylvania, through their
traffic and freight managers who were
on the stand the greater part of the
day, apparently aided the commission.
AS result there were many sharp
tits between the counsel for the COM
mission and the attorneys for the Ar
mour car lines and other private car
companies.
The action of the commission in init
iating the prosecuting of the complaints
has the double purpose of establishing
it's jurisdiction over private car lines
and correcting the evils complained of.
The chief contest is expected to develop
on the point of jurisdiction.
Armour's Attorney Objects
Chairman Knapp open the hearing by
reviewing the proceedings instituted
and calling up the first case, which
was directed against practically all of
the roads of the southeastern part of
the United States and the Armour
car lines.
Frank Barry, who represented the
interstate commerce commission In
bringing out the evidence and eXamin-
ing witnesses, stated that several roads
had not filed contracts existing with
car lines and list of these were called
for by Chairman Knapp.
Mr.. Urion, for the Armour car lines,
objected to proceeding until the com
mission had announced the general
scope and purposes of the inquiry and
indicated whether this is to be a con-
crete finding on which some subsequent
proceeding could be had.
The commission after consultation
announced that formal complaints had
been filed against specific companies
to ascertain whether their charges are
reasonable or if determinations are
made against any persons, and that
it was not prepared to say what Its
subsequent course would be.
Chairman Knapp said he presumed 1t
would be the duty of the commission
to make a definite order against any
defendants found guilty of violating
the regulations or to dismiss proceed
ings in specific cases where the proofs
sustain the denials of any one or more
railroad or carlines. The hearing will
be continued tomorrow.

OF LITTLE FAITH

o troubled heart of mine! we must
Less anxious be,
And learn our Fathers love to trust
Implicitly
For why should we with doubt and fear
Sit gloomily in shadows here,
And question whether God is near?
We should not doubt our Fathers love,
Nor doubt His care;
He showers blessing from above
Free as the air:
And yet we put His gifts aside,
And fear that evil may betide;
Our sorrows may with us abide.
o let US love Him more. my soul!
Love and adore!
And on Him all our burdens roll
For evermore
Let us look up into His face,
And there His loving kindness trace,
His saving, and His keeping grace.

DEWEY SAYS JAPAN MUST WW
COMING BATTLE OR BE CRUSHED
Long Series OF Victories Count for Naught if
Command of the Sea Be Lost
Special Dispatch to The Call.

The programe which the General
Board worked out contemplates the
construction Of forty-eight battle
ships-not all in a lump, but two or
three a year. The battleship is the
main thing. All the rest are auxiliaries.
1t has been asserted that 1t was
the intention OF. the Navy Department
to keep all these ships in commission
and this would be an expensive opera
ton. Only part of the fleet would be
kept In commission and others would
be held in reserve. To-day we have
no reserve. Every battleship is in SER
vice or undergoing repairs.
1T is a mistake to believe a bat
tleship would be obsolete In a few
years. Ships of this. type should be
good ships for fifty years to come
1T has been estimated that a fleet
of forty-eight battleships would cost
the country annually S200,000,000, but
this estimate was based on the idea
that all the ships would be in commits
sion at the same time. This would not
be the case unless we were engaged in
war. 1 don't believe our expenses
would be more than s100,OoO.e00 per
annum. The country surely ought not
to begrudge that amount for its pro-
lection.
Il don't believe we would have had
the Spanish war If Spain had realized
what good navy we possessed"

In an Ambitious Project

activities of lawyers, doctors. teachers.
engineers and other professional classes
of Russia to bring about the democrat
ization of the Government and the IN
stitution of representative parliament
and responsible ministry is the ambi-
tious project set on foot by the Ma
tional Congress of Lawyers, which fin-
iShed Its work here last night. The
plan proposed is the formation of ma
tional associations of the various pro-
fessional classes, each of which shall
elect delegates to a central bureau,
which is to direct and coordinate the
efforts OF the "intellectuals' in the di-
rection of reforms.
Other classes which have openly man
ifested liberal tendencies on many oc-
casions-notably the doctors at their
recent congress in Moscow-are likely
to accept the invitation, and. unless
interfered with, a powerful reform
force is likely to spring into being
soon.

WASHINGTON, April 12.-Admiral
George Dewey believes the outcome OF
the war between Russia and Japan
will depend largely on the approach
ing battle between the fleets of Rojest-
vensky and Togo. He also thinks the
utility of the battleship has been clear
ly demonstrated. The existing condi-
tions, in his opinion, justify the naval
programme arranged by the General
Naval Board. of which he is the head
Whether Russia or Japan will be
the victor in the Far East war de-
pends, in my opinion, upon the result
of the battle about to occur between
the fleets OF Admiral Rojestvensky and
Admiral Togo" said Admiral Dewey.
IF Togo is beaten, all the money and
lives that have been sacrificed by his
country in Manchuria will go for moth
ing. The Russians, in command of
the sea. would cut off communication
between Japan and the mainland and
the japanese army in Manchuria
would be powerless.
Think what Japan would give for
two or three battleships at this critical
moment, when her national safety
would be secure.
This is q thing we should take to
heart. We have done much in a mill
tary way to protect ourselves. What
we must do now is to complete the
arming of ourselves upon the sea.

MEYER ENTERS
RUSSIAN COURT
Gar Nicholas Receives the
American ambassador .'in
Great and Solemn State"
Washington Governments
Representative Appears in
Simple Evening Dress

ST. PETERSBURG, April 12.-Em-
bassador Meyer this afternoon present
ed his letters of credence to Emperor
Nicholas at Tsarskoe-S In diplo-
matte circles much interest is mani
tested in the first interview between
the Emperor and the new American
ambassador, owing to the widespread
belief that President Roosevelt has al
ready allowed the information to be
conveyed to both belligerents that he
stands ready. upon their mutual re-
quest, to undertake the promotion of
peace It is supposed that Meyer this
afternoon delivered a confidential COM
munication to his Majesty from Pres
ident Roosevelt, but so far as is ascer-
tanned the Emperor did not discuss the
question of peace with the new En-
baSsador.
Meyers reception followed the ira
ditional Old World pomp and ceremony
observed at the court of the Roman
offs. He was received literally in
great and solemn state" Accompanied
by Secretaries Eddy and Bliss and at
tended by four chamberlains of the
court in full uniform, he travelled by
a special imperial train to Tsarskoe-
Selo. At the station the party was
met by Count Hendrickoff, master of
ceremonies and a plumber of court Of
ficials. Four golden state carriages
were in waiting. The coach occupied
by ambassador Meyer and Baron Korff
was drawn by six white stations, with
the groons and footmen in the i'm
perial scarlet livery and with out
riders on either side. Arriving at
Alexandra Palace, Baron Fredericks,
surrounded by court officials, all on
blazing steeds, greeted the party.
ambassador Meyer was first present
ed the Empress mother, to whom, in
turn, he presented the embassy secre-
taries. Then, preceded by Count Hen
! drickoff, bearing his staff of Office, and
a solemn procession of court function
aries, the ambassador passed the sa-
Ions to the Emperor's private apart
nents. Here the imnerial bodyguard
saluted. The procession halted and the
doors of the private reception room
were thrown open by the Emperor S
picturesque turbaned mamelukes, and.
as the personal representative of the
President, as well as of the Govern
ment of the United States, Embassa-
dor Meyer advanced alone to meet the
Emperor and Empress.
Their greeting and reception were
cordial. The letters and credentials
presented by Meyer were in the usual
form and were addressed ITO His I'M
perial Majesty, the Autocrat Of All the
Russias'' The audience lasted ten or
fifteen minutes.
The occasion marked notable de-
parture from the custom of the st.

DUNNE FAILS
TO END STRIKE
New Mayor of Chicago
Offers to Act as Mediator
in Proposed Arbitration

CHICAGO. April 12.-An effort made
to-day by Mayor Edward F. Dunno to
have the controversy between Mont.
gomery Wark & Co. and their striking
employees submitted to arbitration was
unsuccessful and the indications to-
night are that the struggle will be con-
tinued until one or the other submits
to a compromise.
Upon the solicitation of Mayor
Dunno, the executive committee OF the
Chicago Employers Association. the
organization which is taking the lead
ing part in the fight of the striking
teamsters. visited the City Hall this
afternoon and was urged by the Mayor
to agree TO a settlement OF the strike
by arbitration. Mayor Dunno offered
to act as mediator, but the proposition
was declined by the committee. The
committee explained TO the Mayor that
the teamsters had broken their agree
ment with montgomery Ward & Co. BY
ordering the sympathetic strike in Or
der to bring about a settlement Of the
garment workers difficulties and that.
therefore. nothing could be done toward
settlement of the trouble by media
ton.
There were several clashes to-day be-
tween the police and strike sympathiz-
ers, who blocked the streets and har-
assed the non-union teamsters who
have taken the places of the strikers
