THE RIVER.

How far soer thy restless waters roll
Thou hast attained the sea,
So, haply, the current of the soul
Hath touched eternity
For backward to the fountain head there flows
A breath of tides to be
Of life beyond, wherein the present knows
En- now it's destiny.

Comstock, secretary of the Society for the
Suppression of Vice. the students of the
Art Students League, one of the most
noted art schools in America, were searched
at New York yesterday and the bookkeeper
Miss Anna Robinson. was placed under ar

contained in the fall catalogue which the
league was about TO issue. were OF an i'm
moral character.
A patrol wagon load of the catalogues
was seized and taken to the police court

charges against Miss Robinson, the only
person placed under arrest.
Miss Robinson was arraigned as Jane

for the suppression of traffic in obscene
literature, Illustrations, pictures, etc.
The pamphlet seized by the societys
agents is the one issued regularly each

dents of the school The issue is STYLED

linens pictured are such as are seen in any
art studio or museum. In the book there
are but two pages devoted TO the nude.

PINE FOR SAGE MILLIONS.
Heirs Pin Hope in Altered Date in
Will

The discovery of q change in the date
IN the will of Russell Sage, whereby the
year of it's execution was made 1901 in
stead of 1900 was not marked by any
stir among the attorneys in New York yes
terday. A. Welles Stump, attorney for Mrs.
M. E. Gear, with Senator Edgar t. Brack-
EFT of Saratoga for James II. Sage of Troy,
said the striking out with pen marks of
1890" and the substitution of 1901 had
been made known to him Wednesday night
through the production of a Photographic
copy of the instrument
''rhat was the first l knew about it, he
said IT intend TO look at the original
copy very soon in view of that discovery.
AS to what effect it will have l cannot
pretend to say. With the new point raised
a new situation will have to be met"
Patrick A. McManus, lawyer of 346
Broadway, came out with a statement
about transaction he witnessed ,fOetween
Russell Sage and some of his relatives
some time ago. He declared he went to
Mr.. Sage's Office with a relative of Mr..
Sage and that Mr.. Sage gave the relative
check for large amount, at the same
time thanking him for having taken care
of his father. Thomas Sage.
1.-The two spoke of the great wealth pos
sessed by the elder man." said McManus
land Mr.. Sage said his wealth amounted
to $T0,0odO00. He intimated in the plainest
language that he would leave half his for
tune to his wife and the balance to his
other relatives.
An evening paper publishes the following
regarding the value of the Sage estate:
1.-THE inventory of the estate of Russell
Sage, begun three days ago, by repre-
sentativeE of the executors, had estab-
iished by today to the satisfaction of the
executors and their lawyers that the value
of the estate was not below $3.50 00000o.
In the Sage strong boxes have been
found millions of dollars worth of securi-
interest qfia faa
as to principal and Income, which have
been for years unknown to the manipula-
tors Of Wall street.
THAT Mr.. Sage sought investment IN
what are called underlying securities was
well known to Wall street, but the extent
Of his holdings of such issues will surprise
the street when the inventory is filed with

Hour DaV

A national strike for the eight-hour day,
ordered by the photographers International
Protective and Beneficial Association of the
United States and Canada, began yesterday
and has thrown $4,000 photographic work
men out of work throughout the United
States.
General President John W. Hamilton of
the association yesterday issued the fol-
lowing official statement:
1.-The strike was the result of our refusal
to arbitrate with the employers. We would
not accept the offer to arbitrate our griev-
ances since they refused our demand that
they discipline the employers who have
been violating their agreements with US. We
could not afford to treat with the employ
ers when many of them do not observe the
agreements.
ut cost US $4,000 to call a convention in
order that we might arrange with the en-
ployers for new agreement but the money
has been spent for nothing. The employers
would not come to an understanding with
us concerning the new demand. they sent
out report that there would be strike.
1--WE refused to arbitrate after the en-
Movers had refused TO furnish us with a
list of the members of their association.
Continual open shop threats were made
and we were finally forced to order ma
ffonal strike Out of $50 firms 165 have
granted the eight-hour demand throughout

MATTERS IN DISPUTE

ESTABLISHING THROUGH RATES

The operation of the railroad rate bill
passed at the recent session OF Congress
cannot be put into full effect until the in
terstate commerce commission has rem
dered opinions on many provisions OF that
act At the present time the only manner
of judging as to the real effect of the law Is
through a study of the intention of Con-
gress as demonstrated by the speeches or
senators and representatives who COM
mented upon it while 1t was under consid-
Grafton. The views of the friends of the
bill in the form in which 1t was passed are
quite generally accepted, by the laymen at
least as the best indication of what the
law really provides.
But at the same time there are quite a
large number of disputed questions on
which there were different opinions among
the best constitutional lawyers of the Sen
ate and House of Representatives, and
these questions can be decided only by opin-
ions rendered by the commission. OF course,
after the opinion of the commission is
handed down 1t will still remain a question
whether the railroad attorneys will accept
II as final or will advise further testing
the law by an appeal to the courts, for
which the bill provides in broad court re-
view.
For these reasons probably not for sew
eral months will there be anything like
clear understanding as to the real scope OF
the law as it is to be enforced. 1t is gen.
orally understood that the railroads are in
clined to abide by the opinions of the com
mission so long as those opinions practi-
cally concur with their generally accepted
view as to what the law was intended to
provide. Should they differ widely from
these views 1t is likely it is said that the
railroads will be inclined to further test the
law in the courts
Some of the opinions of prominent sena-
tors and representatives are referred to at
this time as OF special interest in this con-
nection. For instance, Senator Foraker
virtually staked his reputation on the con-
tention that the basic provision of this law
giving the interstate commerce commission
authority to fix rates was unconstitutional,
and he voted against the bill on that
ground. Others of great eminence opposed
that view and upheld the constitutiopality

Awaiting a Decision.

These are the chief questions that the
railroads are now DESTROYS of having set
tied in order that they can know what the
exact scope of the law will be, and any pos
sible testing OF the law will relate chiefly
to these questions. 1t is therefore looked
upon Of immense Importance to have the
commission decide these matters as soon
as possible. Not until they are decided will
it be possible for any one to draw conciu-
sion as to just what the effect OF the law
Will be In actual practice and II they are
not determined in way that the railroads
regard as within the purpose of Congress
IN enactlng the law there may be some In
teresting Developments In testing the law.
