against himself In a court OF law In

previously appeared In the senate
since the indictment was returned
and he was received by his fellow
senators with many evidences OF
good will. He was much affected,
his emotion at times being such that
he read his statement with great
difficulty. He declared, unqualifedly,
that every charge against him, In

any evidence against him, other than
that of condemned thieves. forgers

Several men prominent in railway
management have been in Washing
ton this past week. The railroads will
oppose to the limit any prop
osition to give the interstate
commerce commission power to
fix freight rates. They will
support however, measures looking to
abolition of rebates and discrimina-
tons, and to extension of the inter-
state commerce laws over private
lines, over transportation of freight by
water and over fast freight lines.
They will advocate legislation that
will enable railways to enter into
traffic agreements subject to approval
of the interstate commerce commits
sion. No railroad legislation is ex-
pected at this session of congress.
Paul Morton, secretary of the navy,
and formerly vice. president of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Rail-
road company, has expressed his
views on the railway rate question in
an article in the outlook. He thinks
federal supervision of railroads neces-
sary, but it should protect as well as
regulate. He is not in favor of gov
eminent ownership. but believes that
to be one of three things, one of which
is sure to take place. The other two
are legalization of pools which he
favors and the further unification of
ownership. He favors the continu-
ance of the interstate commerce COM
mission in substantially its present
'orm. Secretary Morton was in charge
IF the traffic department of the Atchi- |
son railroad in 1902, when according |
o recent testimony before the inter.
'tate commission. not denied by Mr..
Norton. the road entered into a Sc |
ret rebate agreement with the Colo
ADO Fuel and Iron company. Mr..
Norton has since admitted that the
was Illegal and that the COM
ANY knew it. II was illegal. because
ne tariff was not published. Mr..
dorton has also admitted to the in
erstate commerce commission that
Millions of dollars were paid to the
interests, Including
arties to the beef trust, yearly NV
at the expense of legitimate
evenues. When these disclosures
ere made, President Ripley of the
Tension requested a rehearing that I
ecretary Morton might answer the
narge of lawlessness, but the re- {
uest has since been withdrawn. II
