SWITCHMEN KEEP OUT.
Not With Brotherhood Opposing Gov
ernment Regulation of Traffic.

BUFFALO. n. Y, December 2.-The
Switchmen's Union of North America is not
I'm the movement launched by the railroad
brotherhoods in Chicago for the purpose of
opposing government regulation of traffic
rates according to an interview with F. I.
Hawley. grand master of that organization.
Mr.. Hawley says he believes the railroad
employees do not clearly understand Presi-
dent Rooseyelt's attitude on the subject.
THE Switchmen's Union is taking no ac-
tive part In this movement. although we are
naturally Interested" he said. I'VE are not
opposing Mr.. Roosevelt's idea of rate legis-
lation, because We believe that 1t is gener-
ally misunderstood and not aimed to pull
down the rates, but to overcome rebates
and prevent discrimination.
I'VE believe that a way to adjust these
matters will be arranged without neces-
sarily reducing wages.
I'VE do not believe that the government
should control the rates of railroads abso-
utely," he continued because We believe
a man engaged in business should have
something to say of the price of the prod
ucts of that business, and the government
should not have, therefore, absolute power
to regulate rates, unless it assumes control
of the roads"
Grand Master Hawley added that he d d
not think the government should attempt
to reduce the rates without giving the
owners voice In the matter. He suggested
that the Interstate commerce commission
and a committee of the traffic managers
of the various railroads ought to be able to
meet pointly and adjust the rates.

ENTITLED TO PRIZE MONEY.
Ruling Regarding officer Not Present,
but Not Detached.

The controller of the treasury has de-
oided that VIII f. Arnold. surgeon in ;he
navy retired, shall receive $50 in prize
money. earned while attached to the United
States ship Resoute at the time of the
capture of the steamer Adula in Guanta-
namo boy, June 20, 1898.
The auditor for the Navy Department
had disallowed the claim because the name
of the surgeon was not included in the list
submitted by the commander, and the other
officers had received their share. The con-
troller held that the excluding by the com-
mander of the vessel of the name Of tho
surgeon in the list was only prirna facie
and not concluding evidence: that, al
though the surgeon was temporarily absent
or short duty, he was not detached from
the vessel, and therefore should receive the
money.
Assistant Controller Bowers decided in
1885 that II was not within the power or
the auditor to correct error In the prize
money payment after the payment had
been made, because the money belonging
TO one person could not be used TO pay a
debt to another.
This decision Controller Tracewell over
ruled, saying that ION the discovery of the
error those whose names have been omit
ted are entitled TO share In the undis-
turbed portion of the fund. the same in all
respects as those whose names have not
been omitted, but who remain unpaid"
The amount OF the prize money still un-
paid = -. 2267n

certain counts not involving criminal neg
ligence, and were each sentenced to be rep
rimanded.

retary Bonaparte will confer with the Pres
ident before deciding what shall be done In
the matter. 1t Is expected that an official

EX-SPEAKER KEIFER
Finds but Few Who Were in the House

One of the picturesque figures at the
Capitol today was Representative j. War
rem Keifer who was Speaker of the House
in the Forty seventh Congress, nearly a
quarter of a century ago. He is a massive
well-preserved man, with thick, white
beard and full crop of white hair. He
wears the oldfashioned broadcloth, the
coat cut in the fashion of the conventional
evening wear.
Il don't find a man on the democratic
side who was in the House when | served
as Speaker said Gen. Keifer today "On
the republican side are Hit, Hepburn, Cam
non, Bingham, Ketcham and Wadsworth
who were with me in the House.
Il see some familiar faces among the en-
ployes, Clerk Courts of the appropriations
committee and Capt. John Chauncey espe-
ciaily. / also observe Neil, the colored mes
senger at the Speakers door, whom 1 ap-
pointed to that position in the Forty-sev-
enth Congress and who has held it since"
Gen. Keifer is deeply interested In the
subject of the reduction of southern repre-
sentaton and will make q fight at this ses-
sion for action in that direction. According
to old custom Gen. keifer will be given the
privilege of choosing his seat in the House.

Statement From Mr.. Depew.
TARIFF AND RAILROAD RATES.
Views of Representative Mann Of Hi
nois on Those Subjects.

Representative Mann of Illinois, one of
the most aggressive members of the House,
thinks that tariff legislation may be enact
ed by the Fifty-ninth Congress. 1T may
not come at this session. said Mr.. Mann
to Star reporter today. but in my opin-
ion there is good chance of tariff revision
or adjustment before the Fifty ninth Con-
gress adjourns March 4, 1907. Tariff legis-
lation IS a hard thing to get away from,
particularly when there is apparently a
very strong sentiment for revision.
LAS for rate legislation, IT looks to me as
if the Presidents recommendations in his
annual message to Congress next week Will
form the basis for whatever law is passed.
And it seems probable just now that there
will be agreement and that legislation
on this subject will be enacted al this ses-
sion. l think. moreover, 1t will be found
that the Presidents recommendations Will
not be as radical as is feared in some quar-
ters. His message last year was certainly
conservative although not represented as
such at various times. ..
