TRANSPORTATION THE ISSUE

Chicago. Nov. 22---The Supreme Court of the United States is to be asked to pass upon the question whether rail- read company can issue transportation in exchange for advertising in news papers
 shortly after the new rate law went into effect. The auestio arose as to Into effect the question arose as to issue transportation for newspaper ad- vertisinr and the commission decided that under the law only money could be accepted. The justice of this ruling was not seen ny the legal department of the Monon Railroad, and George Kretzinger, general counsel, and E. c. Field. general solicitor. wrote to the Interstate Commerce Commission and gave their construction of the law. based on decisions of the courts.
 They said before the pTomulgation of the rule, and under their construc- tion of the law they had entered inte contracts with publishers for the pup- licatfon of time cards, etc, and for the payment of such services agreed to pay a stated sum in transportation, at the rate which, in every instance was the exact equivalent of the agreed price for publication.
 The law. they said, nowhere in terms provides that payment for transporta- tion shall be in money. and 1t must therefore follow that the freedom Of contract as between railroad and an individual is precisely the same as be- tween other citizens. If this De true' it is dificuIt to understand when one does a service for a railway corpora ton under contract made in good faith and for an agreed consideration, admittedly fair. that the parties may not mutually stipulate for the payment In anything but money.
 To hold. otherwise. they urged. is to deny the freedom of contract to par tieular class which. is everywhere ex- tended as to every other ciass.
 Tine evil which the act was intended to remedy, if was urged, was that a rate published should not mean one thing to one man and another thing to another It would be immaterial in the ae.conplishment of this stEos wilssthrr the rate should be paid In money ur Tn actual services performed. if the ser vices were the equivalent of the money.
 The Interstate Commerce Commits sion did not reply to the letter which was dated October 1. and President McDoel of the Monon road, has issued orders to the passenger department to continue making contracts with pub fishers of newspapers and to Issue transportation in payment for equiva- lent advertising.
 As the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion, having made ruling on the sub feet will be quite likely to adhere to it. the Monon Railroad will sooner or later be notified to appear, and thus will be taken the first step toward construction by the Supreme Court of the United States of the Commissions interpretation of this provision of the new railroad rate bill.

San Juan, P. R., Nov. 22.-President Roosevelt and his party left San Juaa bv special train this morning Tor Arecibo forty miles west of this city where they entered automobiles. drove to Ponce and embarked for home on board the Louisiana.
 Governor and Mrs. winthrop accom- m, panied the President to Arecibo and taaa him farewell at Ponce. he ear in which the Presidential party tray eled was constructed of native wood' for the InGanta Eulalie, when she Vis- tied Porto Rico in 1893.
 Governor and Mrs. Winthrop's re- ception last night in honor of Presi- dent ana Mrs. Roosevelt was the greatest social function in the histo- ry of Porto Rico. The executive man sion was not large enough to accom- modate the guests invited, who includ- ed a large number of members of the Spanish colony.
 The Presidents party return home by way Of Ponce was necessarily ow ing to the fact that it was impossible for him to board the Louisiana out side San Juan harbor.
