DAY LIMIT
STILL LIVE WIRE
Commerce Commission Has
Reached No Decision
ROADS DO NOT WANT 1T
Indications Are, However, That Re
quirement for Thirty Days Nctlce
VIII Not Be Suspended Until
Law Has Been Tried.

Washington. September e fSpecial)-
Messrs. Knapp, Clements and Lane OF
the Interstate commerce ~ mission We're
back at their offices 10 the commissioner
building today-after their busy week in
Chicago, where they have been looking
into the question of transcontinental inn
port and export rates
While the members would not indicate
what decision they might be expected to
make in the application for the suspen-
sion of the thirty days notice in an
nounclng the rate, 1t is believed they are
unlikely to suspend at this time that fea-
ture of the law. The disposition is to
give the laws requirements literal and
thorough enforcement until 1t shall be
certain that its operations will have bad
effects.
Most of the railroad interests heard OPP
posed the request for suspension of the
thirty days notice. While the Hill and
Hartman roads were not on hand, 1t is
the impression that they were the chief
movers In the matter of the application.
The Illinois Central strongly urged that
the thirty days requirements be suspend
ed on rates for imports and exports via
Gulf points. Beginning about the middle
of October the commission Will take up the
investigation of grain elevator business
under the LaFollette resolution and push
it through as fast as possible.

POLICE RANSACK
NEGRO SALOON S
Partial Explanation Is Found for Nu-
merous Fiendish Attacks Made
Recently BY Negroes.

Atlanta, September 28.-(Special.) 1.-The
plain clothes men in the police depart
ment have been specially cautioned and
instructed by Chief Jennings to investi-
gate the negro saloons, clubs and other
dives on Decatur street with a view to en-
tirely wedding out those which are In
any way violating the law.
An investigation of these places by the
police revealed the fact that in many of
them there were hanging on the walls
rude pictures of white women. chiefly
fancy pictures, and the police have been
directed to bring these pictures into po-
lice court as evidence. 1t is believed the
apeparances of such pictures as these in
negro resorts has had something to do
with the numerous assaults on white
women which have been committed in
Fulton county within the last few months.
As a result of the police investigation
of these places a number OF negroes
charged with violating the laws and city
ordinances have been arrested and will be
tried in police court. Test cases will be
n ade against this character of places, and
the police will have them closed up
wherever 1t IS possible to do SO.

PRIESTS WILL
FRENCH PROPERTY
THEY WILL COMPLY WITH THE
FRENCH LAW I'M ALL THINGS
EXCEPT THE SEPARATION OF
CHURCH AND STATE.

Paris, September 22-The letter to the
Catholics of France which was adopted
by the recent council of bishops, and
after having been signed by all the pre-.
lates was sent to Rome for the approval
of the vatican. will be read tomorrow in
all pulpits in France. 1t Is this action
that has again brought the question of
the separation of church and state to tie
fore.
Cardinal Lecot. archbishop of Bordeaux,
virtual leader of the church party when
questioned as to the attitude of the epis-
copaey would take after the reading of
the letter, said 1t would be one of walt
ing. The priests would not leave churches
until they were requested by the author
tides to do So after which mass would
be said in places which already were
being arranged, and seminaries likewise
will be transferred to other buildings.
81 personally will leave the place for
house rented by me- said Cardinal
Lecot. I'VE have appealed to the gener-
oslty of the faithful and have gathered
together a large amount of money which
l will distribute to the neediest of the
priests and we will live as best we can.
We will be careful to observe all laws
except that of separation of church and
state. That we cannot accept because It
tramples upon the dignity of the pope
and the bishops. not only Of France but
of the whole world. The pope must look
at the question as q whole. He cannot alb
dicate his authority for moment when
the church is the object of attack. 1t
is impossible for Plus X. to countenance
the act which broke off the relations be-
tween France and the vatican, and since
he rejects it no arrangement of the mat
ter is possible, If the government does not
modify its laws
The archbishop of Avignon has decided
to remove from his palace to the small
seminary to which also the students of
the largest seminary will be transferred,
so as to vacate all government prop
erty as soon as possible.

st. Petersburg, September 22.-Activc
work in the autumn electoral campaign
was inaugurated by the Octoberists who
today opened the Kazan congress with
delegates from twelve of the Volga pro-

of discussion was consolidation with the
peaceful rengerionists. and plan to give
the twelve provinces a preponderation
voice in the national convention. Alexan-
der Guchkoff, the Octoberist leader, was
present, laboring tooth and nall
Owing to the failure of the Octoberists
to obtain official sanction the congress
was held behind closed doors, and mem
bers of the press were excluded.
The most remarkable development Of the
week has been the change in sentiment
concerning tire late General Trepon. The
universal chorus # maleoiction ana coz
demnatior has give plac" since his death
to a non-p, A. is;tn appreciation of n.s real
merits, and defects and his career has
been the subject of fair and even lauda-
tory criticisms in nearly all circles.

New York. Captain Bernardo, rode on a
raft on the sea off this coast alternating
between faint hope and deep despair until
the steamer Egda came along and saved
them.
The men were landed he { this morning
by Capt. Thomas Olsen.
Story Is Pathetic.
The story, which they told simply, of
their escape from death and the drowning
of their mates, is particularly pathetic.
They said that the Newbury sailed from
Port Royal, S. c., September S for New
York with cargo and n deck load of iuln-
Der; tnat they were becalmed outside for
eight days, but on last Monday morning
when the cook said they were off Charles
ton, hurricane struck them, which with
in fifteen minutes stripped every sail from
the vessel
Within a few seconds the vessel was
turned over and all hands tried to climb
over the weather side. A big sea came
then and swept four of the six men Off
the wreck, and the survivors, who never
saw them again. are confident they were
drowned.

load was composed, or torn from these
by the waves. Hnally both men, good
swimmers, got atop of a cabin roof, and
although the waves reeled over this for
many hours, they hung to 1t until they
were rescued
The cabin tablecloth, which they found
hanging ON a hook; an oilskin coat and
pair of overalls were hoisted above the
raft and were waved by the men, who
also shouted and screamed when passing
ships were sighted. Fifteen steamers
passed them. some of them so close that
they could see their rigging, before the
Eegda came.
