to answer the question but feared it
would tend TO degrade and incriminate
her. as she was under Indictment for
conspiracy. The prosecutor then
promised if she would answer he
would move next Monday TO quash the

ATTORNEY GENERAL DECIDES
Senator Elkins Using Efforts to Keep

Washington. April 2S.-Attorney
General Moody has given an opinion
that congress has power under the
constitution to authorize the interstate
commerce commission or any other tri-
bunal TO fix railroad rates. BY this
opinion. which will be transmitted to
the interstate commerce commission

Communicated Orally.
The character of the opinion reach
ed by Mr.. Moody has been orally com
municated to the members of the com
mittee, but Senator Elkins has sought
to discount its effect by piling in all
the testimony favorable to the rail
roads he could. The main strategy
of his campaign has been simply to
flood the country with statements of
men either in the employ of railroads
or who could be depended upon to
give testimony in the interest of these
properties There has been no dispo
sition to give undue publicity in the
opinion of the interstate commerce
commission, holding that there was no
constitutional objection to the imposi |
