LOOK In REPORTS.
Commissioners Have No Other Evidence
of Combination.

Washington, d. c., ain. 30,-In re-
Spouse to the resolution of the House
of Representatives, President Roosevelt
yesterday called upon the interstate
commerce commission for report re-
garding the alleged existence of a COM
bination, or arrangement, between the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, the
Baltimore 4 Ohio, the Chesapeake &
Ohio and other railroads in violation Of
the antitrust law. Chairman Knapp
at once called his colleagues into con
ference, and the reply is in course OF
preparation.
Inquiry at the offices of the interstate
commerce commission disclosed the fact
that the only data upon which the com
mission can base its report, outside OF
matter already of public knowledge, are
contained in the reports OF the railroads
themselves annually supplied to the
commission in accordance with the re-
qiirement Of law. These reports the
commission always has regarded as con-
fidentiaI, but it is understood that de.
tails of management and ownership OF
stocks, bonds, etc, are given in them
which throw considerable light on the
subject at issue.

TO STOP DRAINS.
Car Orders Higher Rates Of Interest
Upon Savings.

St. Petersburg, Jan Sl.-An import
ant financial measure dictated by the
drain on the savings banks in conse-
quence of the revolutionary agitation
and the impossibility OF competing with
the rates OF private banks in announced.
Ii increases by imperial order the rate
Of interest of the government savings
banks from SO 10 per cent. The gov.
ernment hopes it viii hare favorable
effect on t..e redepositing, which has al
ready commenced. According to the
official statement, the increased deposits
in the savings banks for the first half
OF the Russian January we're S2,5o0,00o,
10 times the increase during the similar
period in 1905.
At Moscow, according 10 the Slovo,
the depositors Of gold are demanding
receipts stating explicitly that their de-
posts are retuTnable in the same metal.
The banks refuse to do so. An order
has also been signed by the Emperor,
raising the rate paid TO deposits in per-
petuity in the Imperial Bank from 3Ia
to 41s per cent.
The rates of exchange are soaring
steadily. For drafts on America private
banks are charging as high as POI rou.
bles per 500, whereas during the pre-
ccding summer the rate was 1880 rou.
bles per 500. The official rate OF ex.
change on England now is 95. compared
with the December rate Of OATS; but
this rate Is ohtainable only at the I'M
perial Bank. The unofficial rate on the
Bourse Is 96.375.

PLEA FOR
RATE BILL
------,-----
Townsend, in Opening Debate
in House, Days Nation
DEMANDS NEW LAW
Answers Ali the Opposition-DecIared
the Passage Of the Bill Is Vital
and That Delay Means
Disaster.
DEMANDS NEW LAW

Washington, Jan. 3t-~Opening what
promises to be weeks discussion on
the railroad rate bill, Mr.. Townsend of
Michigan addressed the House for more
than an hour yesterday, touching on and
calculating practically every phase Of
the railroad rate-making problem and
describing in detail the terms Of the
Hepburn bill.
Regarding the question as one Of the
most important ever before Congress,
Mr.. Townsend advocated the bin as the
correct remedy for the evils which ex-
ist, and predicted that notwithstanding
the protests of The roads, greater pros
perity would come to them under its
provisions than otherwise.
To substantiate this, he called atten.
ton to the tremendous strides OF year
in the transportation business, and this
in the face OF the legislation which the
last Congress initiated and which the
present Congress is taking up in some
what more strenuous form.
Like the bill Of last year, which bore
Mr.. Townsend's name, he said the pres
ent one was the very least The people
would accept, yet the present bill con-
fers wider powers and extends over every
facility of transportation. However,
the present bill, be believed, was not
only fully within the constitutional
powers OF Congress, but was simply an
expression of the plain duty of Congress
to the American people.
The main feature of the bill, bearing
on the point about which the greatest
controversy has been had and the one
which Mr.. Townsend believes lies at the
foundation of the whole question is that
which gives the commission power upon
complaint and after full hearing to sub
stitute q reasonable maximum rate in
place of one found TO be unjust or UNI
reasonable.
Mr.. Townsend went at length into
this phase of the proposed legislation.
In the broader view of the question and
in the correct conclusion on any Of these
phases he saw but one answer-that
to require the railroads to be just and
reasonable could not harm anyone, while
it would benefit all.
The wide publicity of railroad affairs
required in the bill was, in his opinion,
potent factor for good. The provis-
ions expediting the business of the COM
mission and tue cases in the courts
growing out Of the operation Of the law
he regarded as vital. He urged the
speedy passage OF the bill, and said that
delay was dangerous, as the people de-
manded some action.

We're preparing the way for the con-
struetion of new line on the Boston

All of the injured received either frac-
lures of the arms OF broken legs. They
were taken to the Lynn and Salem hos

More than a hundred Italians were
at work near where the accident occurred,
but only rs were engaged directly over
the point Of the conclusion Several
sections of the ledge had been blasted
and the men were ut work with teams
carting away the broken pieces OF rock.
While this was in progress q large rock
slipped over the edge OF the ledge and
fell to another level Of the rock is feet
below. Here d charge was all prepared
for lighting and the falling rock caused
it to take fire and explode. A mass Of
blasted rock was thrown upward about
the workmen and about ten Of them
were hurled into the air by the force
of the conclusion. Malini, who stood
nearest the ledge, was thrown high up
and while in the air he was hit by d
log, which killed him instantly. The
four other italians who were seriously
hurt were struck by flying rock. Medi-
cal assistance was summoned and the
four seriously injured were removed to
the hospital Other Italians working on
the ledge received minor bruises, but
were able to resume work.

Az the general stepped into the car
riage the man sprang on the wall, swung
the can by cord, and the bomb as
if thrown from a sling with marvellous
precision, sped straight to Che mark and

LIFE MADE TO ORDER.
Possibility of Science, Says Prof. ost-
wald of Leipsic.

New York, Jan. s1.--That science may
create a living organism through arti-
fetal means was stated Monday by Prof
Wilhelm OSWALD of the University OF
Leipsic, in lecture at Columbia Uni
versity. Prof 0stwald is one Of Flu
ropes famous scientists.
Science is young" he said. "Some
Of the greatest of chemistry's branches
are not moro than 90 years old. We
cannot yet explain fully the fact of life,
but ! should not be surprised if some
kind Of artificial organism could be made
by scientists which could feed itself and
reproduce itself. After all, living
thing is nothing but system OF energy,
and life is but matter Of chemistry
Prof. 0stwald's views are in line with
the experiments made by Prof Jacques
Leob Of the University Of California in
creating a living organism resembling
the sea urehin.
