RAILROAD MEN HOLD
BUSINESS MEETING
PROBLEMS CREATED BY NEW
RATE BILL ARE DISCUSSED BY
REPRESENTATIVES, OF SOUTH
ERN LINES AT NEW ORLEANS.

New Orleans, August 7.-Probems
created here by the new railroad rate law
were discussed today at meeting OF
representatives of several railroads. Tho
conference was not completed today and
1t was announced that no statement was
ready regarding progress made. 1t was
made known, however, that one of the
questions at issue is a situation in the
switching of freight cars from the tracks
of one railroad to those of another. The
statement has been made that under tho
new law railroads should make equal
rates for drayage or switching in receiv-
ing shipments from warehouses whether
such warehouses are situated on any rail-
road line or not. 1t has been practice
for railroads to charge more in some
instances for hauling freight by wagon
to their rails than for switching 1t there
by sending their engines onto the tracks
of another railroad line where the ship
ment was already In cars.
Todays meeting was presided over by
President c. c. Harvey of the New Or
leans and Northwestern railroad. The
other roads represented were the Illinois
Central by f. C. Bowes, freight tranic
manager; Louisville and Nashville by A.
F. Smith, third vice president, In charge
of traffic; Texas and Pacific by W. f.
Braggins. division freight agent: Frisco

of property transported, or for any in
strumentalty furnished by the owners
and used in the transportation. This pro-
vision, railroad attorneys say, interferes
with private contracts and will be at
tackled on that ground.
The court review provision, these rail-
road attorneys say, will be the object
of the third line of attacks. This pro-
vision Is objected to on the ground that
it precludes the introduction of testi-
mony at the final hearing which had not
been submitted at the first hearing OF
the complaint
Within the last few days attorneys for
several of the southern roads have been
comforting here. And while 1t is evident
that they have not mapped out definite
course of action, it is clear that they are
laying the ground work for legal opposi-
ton to some of the provisions of the law.
Other similar conferences have been held
in New York and Atlantic City. 1t Is un-
derstood that definite line of action in
which nearly all the large systems Will
concur, will be agreed upon before the
law goes into effect the 2Sth of this month.

st Petersburg, August 7.-Dispatches
received here from Yelizavetphol an
nounce that another perpetual peace has
heen arranged between Tartars and Ar

London, August Tin the Brighton
stakes today Hornhead, ridden by Danny
Maher. the American jockey, fell. Maher
was badly shaken but was able to walk.
The pressure of the crowd was SO great
that it took seveb mounted and about
fifty policemen to make a way for him to
the paddock about half mile distant.
Curiously Maher now remembers nothing
of this walk or of what happened after
his horse fell. The Jockeys shoulder is
badly bruised but so far as is known at
present he suffered no serious injury.

TALKS TO PAY OFFICERS.
sec'y Bonaparte Says They Give More
Trouble Than Any Other Branch.

Washington. August 7-Secretary Bona
pate visited the navy pay officers school
today and addressed the sixteen young
officers who are being initiated there for
service in the naval pay corps. Mr. Bona
parte gave the young officers very plain
talk about the pay corps, saying 1t had
caused him far more trouble and had
brought more discredit on the department
than any other branch of the service. He
emphasized the Importance of radical i'm
provement in the corps and showed what
an important part Its officers play in the
navy.
II was urged by Mr. Bonaparte that the
pay officers should not array themselves
as non-com batants but should prepare for
naval responsibility as the .exigencies of
war may at any time demand that Ahey
become active fighters and turn from
their accounts to the direction of fighting.
