WITNESSES MUST
ANSWER R. QUERIES 'R
Federal Court Upholds Power of
the Interstate Commerce
Commission. 49,.

Chicago, Feb. 27.-Judge K. NJ. Ian
dis, in the United States circuit court,
today made a decision in avor of the
interstate commerce commission, in
which he declares that the commission
has the power to compel witnesses to
answer questions. -
The decision was in the case OF
Frank. u. Reichman, vice president of
Streets Western Stable Car line, who
refused at recent hearing before the
commission to answer certain questions.
In the decision Judge Lands said: :
s. 1t was maintained by the respon-
dent that the witness should be ex-
cused from answering the question on
the theory that, the existing statutes
Of the United States are operative on
common carriers and not on private
car companies and that congress is
without power to prohibit the payment
OF money by private car companies to
shippers OF freight, or, in other words
that the commission is without authori
ty to inquire into such a corporation s
affairs.
"The purpose Of the enactment OF
MERGE was to- give all shippers of prop
erty uniform treatment in the matter
OF transportation, and the interstate
commerce commission was created tt
secure to enforcement of the statutes
In the discarge of this duty the
commission is authorized to procure in.
formation from any person whatsoeve,
tending to show whether these laws
are being obeyed.'
The question which the witness re
fused to answer was: "What part Of
the mileage from whatever source have
you given up to shippers during tn,
last six months?''
On the advice Of counsel Mr. Reich
man declined to answer on the ground
that the commission was without pow
er to compel reply. It was announced
by counsel for Mr.. eRichman, after the
decision had been handed down, thai
an appeal will be taken to the United
States supreme court.

WOULD SHED LIGHT
ON THIEYES'' MECCA

Alderman Perry Starkweather an
nounces that he will make strong eff
fort to secure an electric-arc lamp for
the Western avenue bridge. Altho one
OF the most travelled bridges in. the
city, it is not lit at all, and in conse-
quence has been the scene of numer-
Gus ,holdups and other disorders. The
residents in that part of the CITY and
beyond are much aroused over the. state
of affairs and insist on something be-
ing done as soon as possible. A good
light over the center Of the bridge will
do as much for that part of the city
as an additional policeman.

State Commissioners Let More
Light Into New York Life
| Deals.

New York, Feb. 27.-Astounding dis
closures are contained in the report of
the Joint examination of the New ork
iIlfe insurance company made by the
insurance commissioners Of Minnesota,
Tennessee, Kentucky, Wisconsin and
Nebraska: The examination disclosed
many evils in the management of the
New York Life which were not uncov-
cred by the Armstrong committee.
An affidavit, made by Edmund D.
Life, Monaay Of last week. contains an
amazing admission. The following
question was put to Mr.. Randolph:
Has the company at any time in the
past loaned any Of it's .non-taxable Sc
son for the purpose of enabling the Dor
rover to avoid taxation or for any other
purposeqo
Bait for Federal Deposit.
Mr.. Randolph made this answer:
The First National bank Of New York
from Oct. 10, 1902, to June 2, 1904,
city bonds and bonds of the state Of
Massachusetts, aggregating 100000,
and as security for their return, deposit
ed with the company satisfactory col
lateral which it at all times kept good.
These bonds, under a special ruling
made by the secretary of the treasury
of the United States, were lodged with
the treasurer of the United States in
trust for the First National bank of
New York to enable the bank to re-
celve additional government deposits.
The transaction was finally closed June
2, 1904, all of said bonds having been
returned to the company. AS considera-
tion for the loan of said bonds, the
bank paid the company $70,742.26. The
company also, itself, meantime collect
ed, directly, and retained as its own,
all the interest the bonds by their terms
| bore, as the interest accrued; the bonds
! having continued meanwhile to stand
registered in the name of this com
pany.' ..,.

In other words, to get deposits of
the United States government money,
! the First National bank borrowed prop
| erty belonging to the New York Life
and put it into pawn with the treasurer
of the United States to secure the
| money advanced.
Nhe First National bank Is known in
| Wall street as j. Pierpont Morgan IS
bank. George W. Perkins, the partner
! of Mr.. Morgan, was, at the time Of this
transaction, first vice president Of the

VAUDEVILLE.

54t e
 The local patrons of vaudeville have never seen here a musical nov city of the proportions of The Mill tary Octette and the Girl With the Baton," which will be the headline feature of the bill at the Jacques next week. There are three scenes, complete in every detail and accu- rate as to costumes, music and stage properties, representing the life of soldiers in the Russian, English and American armies. Music of a high grade is introduced in each scene, and the band is under the leadership of John s. Leick, the celebrated English cornetist. The girl with the baton is director of more than or dianry attractiveness of face and figure and her work is characterized by thoroughly adequate knowledge of what she is doing. An extraor- dinary special feature will be of fered in the engagement of James H.. Jee, the worlds champion jumper and equilibrist on the single strand wire, who has absolutely no rivals in his line of work MT Jee came to America a few months ago unherald- ed and practically unknown except to those who keep close watch on the European successes, and he made his initial appearance without any pre- liminary press agents bosh. His amazing feats made the vaudeville managers sit up and rub their eyes in bewilderment and within few days he was acknowledged to be the most wonderful wire performer of the last twenty-five years. The other acts on the bill will be Dean Edsall and Arthur Forbes, Smirl and Kess- ner, Gus Leonard, Milt Wood, Bet tina Bruce and company, and the electrograph. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents, afternoons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.
