FERN, UNTITLED,

Vessel to Be Made Seaworthy, but

From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington.
Washington, April 24:--Congressman
Bede has had several interviews with
Assistant Secretary Darling of the navy
department, relative to repairs to the
tender Fern, in order that she may be
turned over to the Minnesota naval
brigade, Mr.. Bede has been unable to
change the ruling Of the department
that no. part Of the navy department. 3
appropriation shall be expended on that
vessel. ~ t@>t>st --- ...y. .s
On the other hand, the department is
figuring how far the state appropriation
Of $68,5OO will 60 toward putting the
vessel in shape for sailing around to
Duluth. Darling said, today he believed
this amount will be sufficient to make
the vessel seaworthy, but if it is not
enough the state $ allotment from the
naval militia appropriation, about
81 200, cam be used for that purpose.
The assistant secretary said also that
II the naval=bTigade wants the Fern as
badly as it = seems to, the members
should be willing to go without few
things this year in order to get her, and
next year, wheht saAot thsr ;$8, 500 comes
from the state, the vessel can be put in
shape for cruising on the lakes, where
he believes. she will be good for many
years service. =. -;sr7>TE :.
L The, reason given for not spending
any. of the department 8 funds on the
Fern, is that If this is done with one
state, it will have to be done with an.
other, which would cause serious drain
on the department g repair funds.

URGE TWO STATES
!. OF PENNSYLVANIA
Residents of Western Portion of
State Would Create the
State Of Allegheny.
New York Sun Special Service.

Pittsburg, April 24.-The western
part of Pennsylvania is now ripe for a
revolt, and there is serious talk of ask
ing that the great keystone state be, di.
vided, the twentythree counties west Of
the crest Of the Allegheny mountains to
be known as the state Of Allegheny.
For some years there have been MUIR
murings against the way in which the
Philadelphia region has used the legis-
lature and congress to further only the
ends Of that part Of the state, and the
fuss grew warmer at the meeting Of the
Legislature just ended. ,.., i. .-.....-
Yesterday the Pittsburg. Leader, very
close to the western Pennsylvania
bosses, came out in a warm, three-col-
umn article, calling for division Of
the state, the dividing line to be the
watershed of the Allegheny noun ntains,
and the state to be named Allegheny.
Attention is called to the prophetic
words Of Abraham Lincoln, who once
referred to this section as "the state
of Allegheny meaning at that time
perhaps Allegheny county, in which
Pittsburg and Allegheny are situated.
Greensburg, Pa, is Suggested as the site
of the new state capital.
The state of Allegheny, according to
those who are. figuring on the move,
cording to the census Of 1900, and with
its rate of increase for the last twenty
years maintained would in the census Of
1910 take seventh place in the union.

Senator Dolliver inquired how the

HINES DEFENDS THE LAW
Railroad Man Says Commission Has
Brought It Into Disrepute.

Washington, April 24.-Before the
senate committee on interstate COM
merce today, Walker D. Hines, former
ly Of the Louisville & Nashville rail
road, declared there is in the present
interstate commerce act, definite pro-
visions for the correction by the courts
Of every unreasonable or unjustly dis
criminatory rate, with special pro-
visions for the speedy disposition of all
such cases and to prevent any delay on
account Of appeals by the carriers, and
he continued:
Therefore, the widely prevailing i'm
preston that under the present law car
rfers may at their pleasure and without
control charge unreascnably high and un-
Justly discriminating rates, is thoroly er-
roneous. On the other hand every rate
charged by a carrier is subject to the
direct and effective control Of the courts
8 Of the United States to prevent such rate
from violating the interstate commerce
law in any respect. 1t is the courts and
bot. as frequently claimed the carriers,
who are the judges Of what is reasonable
and Just under the law.
This preventive method of dealing has
never been found insufficient in a single
case; and it Is therefOeS q unwarranted
attack upon the lag to aouume without
any facts to s0ppdse the argument that
this remedy is worthless; especially when
]. the nature of the remedy and the expert
ence under it go to show that it is sub
stantial and effective
The numerous failures of the committee
in litigation have not been due to any de-
fest in the law, but have been due invari-
db1y either to the commissions adoption
of illegal methods, or to the commission's
mistaken condemnation Of practices moi
prohibited by law.
Erroneous Impression.
Notwithstanding the interstate com.
merce act provides a definite and practi-
cal method Of correcting all unlawful
rates, there is undoubtedly somewhat
general impression that the act is abso-
lutely worthless. This opinion is un-
doubtedly due to repeated public declara-
tions by the interstate commerce commits
3 sion and its members that under the pres
ent law the carriers are utterly beyond
any control as to Interstate commerce.
AS these declarations proceed from the
very public officials who, by law are the
direct representatives Of the government
81 in interstate commerce matters, and whose
# express duty it is to execute and enforce
the interstate commerce act, the very
natural consequence is that large pro-
portion Of the public accepts these state
ments as correct, and therefore believes
that the law now provides for unjust and
unlawful tariff rates: whereas, the law
does provide perfectly correct methods
which have never been inadequate in a
single instance.
