Telephone Linemen NAV strike.

CHEYENNE, May 1.-(special "A strike
Is threatened among the inemen OF the
Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone company
in wyoming. The linemen are out in Utah
and It is feared here that orders will be
received for the local men to go out unless
the company accedes to the demands OF the
Utah strikers, A strike at this time would
badly cripple the telephone company, for
it has not yet recovered from the effects
of the recent severe snowstorm, which
prostrated its poles and wires in and about
the city. over 15O city telephones were
rendered useless by the storm and many
Of these have not yet been repaired.

No Intention of Suicide.
Mr.. Rand then reviewed the evidence in
the case. He declared that It had been
proved by the prosecution that Young
never owned a revolver and that even IL he
had one 1t would have been n physical
impossibility for him TO have inflicted
upon himself such a wound as caused his
death. He called the attention of the jury
to the preparations made by Young for
his European trip, and told them that 1t
alone proved beyond question that the
bookmaker had no intention of taking his
life. The contention of the defense that
1t was Young who opposed breaking the
relations between him and Miss Patterson.
he claimed, was proven untenable by the
evidence which, he said, showed that
Young had kept away from her during the
whole month just preceding his death.
OF the souvenir postal card bearing Miss
Pattersons name and an address in
Youngs handwriting which was found In
the young womans handbag at the time
of her arrest, Mr.. Rand said he had a
different theory than the one advanced by
the defense They had suggested that IT
was put there by Young for the purpose
of Identification in event Of a murder and
suicide. He believed, however, that it was
Young's intention to send the card back
from the steamer by the pilot to show that

Another point which must be conadered
he said, was that the proposed legislation
sets precedent for the regulation by con-
gress of all transactions in interstate COM
merce, including all contracts for the pur-
chase and sale of commodities moving from
state to state.
He declared it is impossible to say when
public demand would raise for regulation Of
the prices of the commodities that form
the great bulk of the commerce of the
country, but II the present demand was
yielded to there would be an unanswerable
precedent for the others when it came.

to the assertion that If the government did

MAKING OF RAILWAY RATES
Senate Committee Hears Opinion Of Robert
Mather Of Rock Island System.
SAYS THERE'S S NO REASON FOR MORE LAWS
Rates, lie Says, Are Not Too High
and that There IL No
Longer Any Discrim-
ination.

WASHINGTON, May 2-Robert Mather,
chairman of the executive committee OF
the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Rail-
road company, who testified before the
senate committee on interstate commerce
today, declared government regulation OF
common carriers sought to accomplish two
purposes-first, the establishment and main
tenance Of reasonable rates, and, second,
the prohibition Of discrimination In the
present discussion he maintained that two
propositions might be considered as set
tled-hrst, that the railway rates in the
United States are not in themselves unrea-
sonable, and, second, that determinations
which result from secret rate making and
rebate giving and other like devices have
been done away with under the existing
law.
The evils of secret rebates were ended by
the passage of the Elkins act in 1903
Little Legislation Needed.
The only evil demanding additional legis-
lation was preference between localities,
and the question under consideration then
resolves itself into this: Is 1t necessary or
desirable that the Interstate Commerce
con mission should be given the rate making
power in order that preferences between
localities shall cease. That there was a
public clamor for giving the rate making
power to the commission, he averred, could
not be denied, but that It was misled
clamor was plainly apparent.
If the Townsend bill or anything
like it, becomes law the entire power to
make all rates is confded to the commission
and withdrawn from the railroads. This is
a result which there is no evidence that the
people desire and which the president him
self does not want.
The making of rates is a matter no one
traffic manager can determine to the issue
for himself. 1t is not only the rate that he
can afford to give'to the shipper on his own
rails that he must consider, but the rates
that other railways can and do give to the
competitors of his shipper. 1t is result
which no one mind and no one set of cir
cumstances does or can control.
A commission OF limited number would
be unable intelligently to make rates which
the railways make.
