TO PAY COTTON'S CL4IM.
Gov. Douglas Thinks He Is Entitled 10
500 900 From the state Of Massa chusetts

BosToN, Jan. % There has been specu-
latlon relative to the attitude which Gov
Douglas is likely TO take on the claim Of
John B. Cotton. the legislative counsel
who was authorized several years ago to
represent the Commonwealth at Wash
ington in the collection of Massachusetts,
civil war claims
Under the contract which Mr. Cotton
made with Gov. Wolcott and the e1ecu-
tive council he was to receive 10 per cent.
of all the money collected from the United
States Government on this claim, it then
being assumed that the reimbursement
to the State would be a comparatively
small amount Mr.. Cotton succeeded In
securing 81 900, coo from the United States
Government. his commission under the
contract amounting to 100000.
warrant for the amount was given TO
Mr.. Cotton about a year ago. but having
been led TO believe that the Commonwealth
through the executive and law department
objected to paying him the full commission,
refused to turn it over The matter
has been hung up now for months. Mr..
Cotton holding on 20 the warrant for the
claim and having declined to give it up
until he is assured that he will get his full
commission.
Gov Douglas believes the Common wealth
should keep its agreement. The Governor
intends to take up the matter with Attorney
General Parker very soon. He wants it
settled and settled very speedily.

LOOKING INTO MOCK MARRIAGE.
Cops Say II Didn't Happen In station House
-Charges Against Sergeant.

Deputy Police Commissioner Lindsey
investigated yesterday the story of Will
helm Bay that a policeman Of the East
Fifty-frst street station performed a moo x
marriage ceremony in the station house
on Dec 10 and that he didn't know he was
not legally married to Marie Lehr until
Christmas. whereupon he was really welded
TO her by the Rev DR. Moldenke OF St
Peters German Lutheran Church on Lex
ington avenue. As result. charges were
prepared against Sergt James Mcdonald.
Bay and his wife and Mary Jones. who
saws she was a witness at the mock cere-
mony, have had enough notoriety and
didn't want TO testify Il was only by
subpDnas that Lindsey got them to Head
quarters yesterday.
Lindsey took all three Witnesses to the
station house. where ne had the platoon
which had been in the house at the time OF
the alleged mock ceremony called out.
-Four men Of the platoon we're not present,
however. The three witnesses failed to
Identify the man who performed the cere-
mony. The Rev DR.. Modenke said he
had seen the fake marriage certificate
Sergt. Mcdonald. who was on the desk
al the time the alleged ceremony took
minutes TO IL p NJ, Dec. o. Bay wanted
to get married and Mcdonald sent PATROL
man Tobin out to get an Alderman. send
ing the three into the room reserved for
sergeants in the meantime Tobin said
the Alderman refused 20 go to the station
house and he told the couple so.
The sergeant corroborated this and said
that at 12;+0 A NJ the three had left. All
the police declared no fake marriage was
performed.
Mcdonald is charged with violating the
rule which Gays poioc station shall be
used only for police business and that
nobody is TO remain there except by special
PERM ssion Of the officer in charge and on
business in connection with the department
rule, which makes sergeant responsible
for discipline and good order among rounds

TIE RATE MAKING PROBLEM.
Judge CoNGn OF Texas and Mr. Davenport
Discuss II In the Senate Committee.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 49, In the Senate
Committee on Interstate Commerce to-day
Daniel Davenport OF Bridgeport Conn.
undertook to question Judge S. H. Cowan
Of Texas on certain phases OF the railroad
rate making problem. Judge Cowan rep
resents the Texas Cattle Raisers' Associa
ton and had been giving tho committee
his views on the ACCESSIBILITY of giving the
Interstate Commerce Commission power
TO establish reasonable rates.
Mr.. Davenport represents the Assooia-
ton for Maintaining the Rights Of Property.
which is largely composed Of the owners
OF railroad stocks and bonds, and others
indirectly interested in the ownership Of
such securities through deposits in savings
banks. DC
Judge Cowan referred to the fact that
while the Texas railroads within the last
five years had greatly increased the rates
on Interstate freight, the rates for freight
within the State OF Texas itself had not
been advanced By permission Of the
committee, Mr. Davenport asked Mr. Cowan
questions tending TO show that the Texas
Railroad Commission. exercising ito power
to regulate the rates OH traffic originating
and ending within the borders of the State.
Ndl prevented tne TOaus from raising the
rates on such traffic.
Mr. Davenport sought to show that while
the cost Of materials used in the construc-
ton and operation of railroads such as
ties, locomotives, fuel and the wages Of the
emplo yees, had all admittedly increased
within the last five years that tho Texas
commission, by preventing the railroads
from raising the rates Of freight on State
traffic. had compelled them to get even.
by rot only raising the rate Of freight on
interstate traffic originating within the State
% cover the natural increase in the cost of
handling such traffic, but also to bear the
additional burden which should properly
have been placed upon the purely State
traffic
In reply TO Mr. Davenport's questions
Mr. Cowan said that no rates on State traffic
had been raised within the past few yeals
Then the owners OF the II. 900 miles OF
railroads in Texas" said Mr. Davenport
did not have confidence enough in the
commission to apply for the piivile ge of

for the right, but they did not get il

THE LEWIS ADMIRATION .BILL
Its Author SaysIt Contains Nothing Making
Arbitration Compulsory.

ALBANY. Jan. Ex-senator Merton f.
Lewis Rep. Monroe said to-day that the
public service arbitration bill introduced
by him has been improperly called com
pulsory" arbitration bill.
The bill contains nothing compulsory
concerning such arbitration said the
Senator. 1T provides simply that the
employees of public service corporations
shall. as a condition precedent TO their
employment by such corporations, sign
written contracts which shall provide that
they shal not leave the service Of such
corporation without a reasonable notice
to such corporation. in order that 1t may
have an opportunity to fill the vacancies
caused by their designations
The bill proceeds on the theory that
there are three parties to every contro-
versy between public service corporations
and their employees. The first and most
important party ia the public, for the con-
We nience Of which the corporation was
created The whole theory Of the bill is
that when the public, through its duly
authorized agents and officers, has created
a corporation for the purpose Of serving
the public. such serv ce should continue
without interruption. regardless of the
fact that difficulties may arise between
such corporations and the men employed
by them
Il fatter myself that the bill which
have prepared provides reasonable,
just and workable method of settling con-
troversies between the class of corporations
To which the bill applies and the men en-
ployed by such corporations and that once
the bill il on the statute books. steam rail-
road, street railroad and other strikes

LONDON, Jan. 2s.--The Japanese naval
programme which was lately cabed to The
Sun, has been attracting the attention Of
European naval officers. The mammoth
vessels which Japan contemplAtes building
will necessitate such dock accommodations
n Japan before the war, was not known 10
possess and If she. as is reported. proposes
to turn out these vessels herself Japan
must have secretly prepared or IS preparing
the biggest docks in the world.
The experience Of the present war has
convinced Japanese naval officers that the
American and British theory that huge
battleshpH will be the main factors in sea
fighting in the future is the correct one.
and they have resolved not TO he behind
the worlds best vessels Ten inch guns
will be the smallest calibre. and twelve Of
these monsters will be carried by each
vessel, besides four IL inch guns They are
satisfied that 9 inch guns are useless for
attack. as inch armor is for defence. The
enormous conclusion Of such battery
will necessitate special construction. which.
it is recognized, may limit the speed of the
vessel. II is estimated that nothing less
than tonnage of 1880 will be useful for
these vessels
The battleships hashima and HatOri OF
1900 tons. are now heinE built for Japan's
order at Elswiok and Barrow They will
carry four T. inch guns and four 10 inchers,
and each will throw 500 pounds of metal.
The vessels Of the proposed new type,
however. will throw o.4Oo pounds
The British battleship Lord Nelson, now
building, will throw 200 pounds of metal.
The vessels OF this class we're originally
desi gned to be of a tonnage Of 1900. but
lack of dock accommodations prevented
this idea from being carried out
