SHIPPERS ANNOY

Object to Permitting Senate Com

Washington,u May t2-The shippers
of the country do not propose to permit
the senate committee on interstate
commerce to- formulate any measure
for presentation to the senate which
shall stultify the wish Of the people
fol-. an equitable adjustment of the
railroad-rate question. "s.a
Senator Elkins, chairman Of the COM
mittee, has determined to bring the
hearings to close with, the termina,,
ton Of the, testimony Of the railroad
country to be SO saturated with their
views, it might forget the injustice
suffered by shippers. He has been
talking informally with members of the |
committee as to the ACCESSIBILITY of
calling an executive meeting Of the
committee to, discuss the question of
stopping the hearings and to fix upon
presented to the senate.
NoW the shippers have stepped in,
and Senator Elkins is fearful that his
well-laid plans are in danger.
Bacon Wants Hearing.
Of the Shippers National organiza-
tions, has written the chairman Of the
committee, asking an opportunity to
| present further testimony on the ques-
| ton Of rate discrimination and rebates.
! He stated he expected to bring a num-
| Der Of prominent shippers from vari-
Gus parts Of the country to furnish evil
dence in addition to that given at the
| hearings last spring.
Without regard, apparently, for the
universal demand that there shall be
effective legislation, some of the COM
mitteemen are impatient over the in
timation that the demands Of the ship
pers may prolong the hearings, and
they are raising all kinds Of objections,
shippers have made out a formidable
case, and that, if more people testify,
it will not be possible to study the
evidence properly because of the guam
tity.
It is expected that, in order to pre-
chance to appear, but this will be only
in case he can show he has additional
evidence of Importance to present.
Peck Before Committee.
| + George R. Peck. general counsel Of
| the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railroad, was again before the senate
the most effective instrument against
rebates was the injunction; that the
latter was better than a criminal pro-
ceeding because it was speedy and
summary.
Private car lines, he said, were not
common carriers, but were necessary
to carry on the commerce in perishable
articles.
Mr.. Peck made several references to
& the Esch-T Townsend act in answering
question of Senator Cullom, and the
latter remarked that he did not think
the committee was disposed to hold to
the Esch-Townsend bill.

A Transfer COMPROMISE.

The arrangement whereby the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company and the
Anacostia line agree to accept transfers
from the City and Suburban line will les
sen by half the public Inconvenience caused
by the recent order of court forbidding the
City and Suburban to engage in transfer
relations with other companies. The court
has jurisdiction only over that system and
cannot hamper the lines with which 1t con-
meets in whatever they may seek to do to
encourage traffic. AS the matter is now
adjusted it will be possible for all patrons
of the City and Suburban to continue their
rides as heretofore, reaching all points pre-
yiously reached by virtue of the transfer
arrangements. But on return trips they
must pay double fares-one to the Wash
ington Railway and Anaeosta divisions
and one TO the City and Suburban Thus
the City and Suburban viii get as many
fares as though the new arrangement had
not been made. and probably more in
view OF the inducement to traffic offered
by the chance TO ride at least one way for
the old fare of one ticket.
The Washington Railway and the Ana
costa companies will lose nothing by this
grant of the transfer privilege as compared

Schwab'S Contract.

Mr. Charles NJ. Schwabs shphuilGing
contract with the Russian government, orig
inally reported to call for an expenditure IN
this country of fully 500 900 900, shrinks on
close inspection to about ne-hundredth of
that sum, and instead of involving the con-
struction of fleet of war ships covers at
present only the furnishing of armor plate.
Says one of the New York news reports of
the matter:
tits not hundred milion-dolar contract
nor one nearly large, as some of the
cable dispatches from Europe have indicat-
ed it to be. Its amount is understood to be
about Sl,00O.GOO. but it is expected that if
things go Russia hopes to have them go
ia the war. the ear will call for more bat
tie ships from the same builders. and this
armOr plate order will be the forerunner
q. more aud larger ones
Just what the people of the United States
are expected to understand from this must
b. left to conjecture. The sentiment here
in the matter of the far eastern war is
undoubtedly strongly in favor of Japan. If
Russia wins, IF things go Russia hopes
to have them 60, more war ships will be
built. it would seem. Is this promise of a
big job of construction then, to be con-
strued a bid for change of sentiment?
1t is hardly likely. for 1t is perfectly clear
that American sentiment will not bear prac-
tcally way the other upon the for
tunes of Rojestvensky or Linevitch
The answer to the conundrum must be
sought further. If Russia wins in this war
she must of course rehabitate her navy.
She will need new ships to replace those
lost. She will be the dominant Asiatic
power. and must have floating force COM
mensurate with her position. That is easily
understood. But does it necessarily follow
that If Japan wins Russia will not need
Eew ships; For if Japan wins the Russian
navy Will he all but wiped out of existence.
There may be a few ships left in Russian
waters not exposed to the enemy and some
lew now thus exposed may escape. But it
d. assured that complete japanese vic
tory. "a turning Of events the way Russia
does not want them to turn, would practi-
cany strip the cars government of it's
naval power. Would it not then be incum-
bent upon il TO build new navy. buying
or constructing more ships than in the case
ot ii Russian victory?

tary Taft was not far from speaking the
literal truth when he opened the railway

feature of this matter is that an organiza-
ton soon acquires the Washington habit.
If it comes once il is likely to come again.
and even those bodies that have adopted
rules requiring circulation from place to
place are sorely tempted to abandon the
custom and make Washington the per-
manent meeting place. Indeed many of
the largest national bodies have perma-
nently chosen the capital their assem-
bling point. their members being familiar
and welcome guests from season to season
until they have been virtually adopted as
intermittent citizens of the capital.

Chicago Music.

And yet some persons talk of the art at
mosphere of Chicago. It's partisans in their
frenzy of pride point to the metropolis of
pork and strikes as Americas musical CEN
teri
1t is a conservative guess that Chicago
does not know a chord from a piece of
string or a scale from fishskin. Here is a
dispatch which tells in unvarnished words
the kind of music and the character of
musicians to be found in Chicago:
With the desire of getting away from
neighbors who annoy with piano playing
and singing. Oskar Eckstein, an instructor
in chemical research at the University of
Chicago. has deserted the neighborhood of
Midway Plaisance, and is now living in a
fisherman's hut on the shore of Lake Michi-
gan. where he prepares his own food,
chooses his companions from the few fish
ermen that live nearby, and wears the
greater part of the time simple bathing
costume.
Here is man. perhaps a friend of that
profound Shakespearean scholar, Prof.
Triggs, who seeks exile and solitude rather
than bear Chicago music.

with past conditions. They will lose tie
chance to get the extra fares from pas
seEgers who are forced to ride continuously
over the lines of both systems. But they
will still collect the fares from them on
their return. whereas if the new arrange
ments were not made they would perhaps
not have the chance to carry these passen-
gers out for double-fare return trip.
Thus both sides will profit through the in
ducement of traffic which otherwise would
probably have been curtailed by reason of
the necessity to pay double fares each way.
This is wise move on the part of the
railway companies. going as far as the
legal limitations permit and undoubtedly
making more certain an increase in the
receipts of the City and Suburban. as con-
templated by the minority stockholders
who petitoned for the abolition of the
transfer privilege. Whether it will satisfy
the protesting patrons of the City and
Suburban. who are holding meetings and
rapidly pressing plans to fight the court
order, remains to be seen.

The Canal Supply Program.

Secretary Taft's exclamation of the pur-
nose of the Administration in the matter of
the purchase of canal supplies tends ma
terially to soften the asperities of the sit
nation In effect he declares that the for
eisn market is to be approached only when
considerations of urgency require, when
time is a vital element and when there are
evidences of combinations to force the price
on American goods to a prohibitive point.
Furthermore. there is no present intention
to purchase ships abroad but vessels Will
b. chartered as required the preference be-
Ing given whenever possible to American
built ships.
This puts the case on simple and easily
understood basis. There is no occasion
whatever for alarm in high-tarif circles

pie not only OF the United States but of

Whatever may be the Russian naval plans
in the far east, it is we'll assured that the
ships under Rojestvensky must either pro-
coed toward Vladvostok. whether they
reach that port or not, or they must remain
virtually as guests of France, however I'M
welcome. That is to say. they must make
way out of the China sea, or remain 50
close to shore that they can seek shelter
in harbor on short notice. For this is the
typhoon season, when the China sea may
be swept from end to end at any hour by
a terrific storm, destroying exposed shipping
and scattering fleets. These waters are
navigable at this season of the year only
with great risk. Ships may steam to and
fro for a week or more and enjoy ideal
conditions. and then for a week or more the
sea will be menace to all occupants. In
such circumstances it Is idle to look for
Rojestvensky to stand out to sea in the
hope of remaining immune from the Japa-
nese or the elements for an indefinite period
He must cut loose from his borrowed base
and head northward in the hope of reach
ing his own port beyond the Japanese lne
or he must hug the shore so that he can
return to the French waters under the lee
of the land when the glass falls sharply.
A succession of anchorages within French
waters for the purpose of seeking shelter
from the storms of the China sea wouln
constitute a fragrant breach of neutrality
which Japan would not long endure, and it
is not to be believed that England. what
ever may be her newly aroused sentiments
toward France, could condone such an
abuse of the neutral waters by beliigerent.
The offense. of course. in such case would
consist not in lowering within easy reach
ing distance of the territorial line, but in
demanded or permitted This would be no
less than using the coast of AMMAN a
base of operations in war, continuing the
offense which is plainly established
as committed through Rojestvenskys per-
sistent use of Kamranh bay and Saigon as
points of resupply, repair and rendezvous
There are evidences that France is not
disposed at present to stretch the Japanese
patience too far or to put the English toll
erance to too severe a test, and thus there
is reason to look for a northward move
ment by the combined Russian sauadrons
rather than a continued occupati ton of the
political. And a continued northward
movement. at speed that permits Storage.
will bring the Russians into Formosan wat
ers within week at the outside And
when once they are in that vicinity there
may be to Togo's plans in the form
of an engagement. either general or pre-
lminary. If Rojestvensky is permitted to
pass unmolested into the Pacific the world
must wait longer for an indication of the
Japanese purpose.
