Washington. April l0-A practical agree
ment has been reached by the two fac
tions among the Republican senators upon
the court review provision of the railway
rate bill. Under its terms the courts will
have authority not only To determine
whether a rate fixed by the Interstate
commerce commission is in violation OF
the constitution. but whether It is a law
full rate.
In return for this concession OF the rad-
calls, the conservative Republican SEN
ators have agreed 10 a provision that ju-
dicial proceedings TO determine the consti-
tutionality or the legality OF a fixed rate
shall be instituted only In the judicial
circuit through which the lines o. the
carrier pass.
The compromise thus virtually effected
IS a victory for the conserva tives, led by
Senators Aldrich. Crane Foraker and
Knox. They have insisted that the courts
should be empowered not only 20 pass
upon the constitutionality OF orders issued
by the interstate commerce commission
and upon the question whether the com
mission exceeded its legal authority in
fixing rate. both OF which the radicals

SUIT TO RECOVER
SUM OF s1,282,84f
FROM NJ 'CURDYS

New York April 10.-Charges OF con-
spiracy IN the appointment OF Robert H.
McCurdy as superintendent OF the for
e!gn department OF the Mutual Life In
eurance company were made In n new
action brought by that company yester-
day against Richard A. McCurdy. former
~ president Of the company. and his son
Robert. The complaint alleges that the
two McCurdys conspired TO enrich Robert
II. McCurdy by maintaing his compensa-
tion on a commission basis at an exorbi-
tant rate.
In the suit the Mutual seeks 20 recover
from the defendants 81 ,o02s41. II is AL
legged In the complaint that Robert H.
McCurdy's profits derived from his inter-
ests in the firm OF G. H. Raymond e.
Co. metropolitan agents for the Mutual
Life Insurance company, amounted 20
$3.50 600 In ten years prior 10 1903.
After he was made superintendent OF
the foreign department to the Mutual Life
in 1886. Il is asserted that he continued
his connection with Raymond e. Co. but
that IL was his duty 10 devote his entire
time and energy 10 his new office II is
charged that Richard A. McCurdy con-
spired with his son 10 place commissions
derived by Robert on such basis. as 10
prevent their reduction when the business
increased. and the allegation is made that
the defendants knew that the commits
sions were exorbitant, but concealed the
information from the board OF trustees.
According 10 the complaint. Robert II.
McCurdy received in commissions between
1885 and 1905 the sum OF s1,2S2,S4i. A just
compensation for his services while super
intendent OF the foreign department is de-
clared in the complaint TO be $4,000 year
prior 10 1889. $4,000 n year up 10 1895 and
$4,000 year thereafter until he re-
signed.
President Peabody OF the Mutual Life
Insurance company said:
II have read the proclamation issued
last night by the counsel for Messrs.
Lawson and Fish do not think II
needs any extended answer from me.
Some OF the statements contained In it
are true, but the substance I have al
ready contradicted."

had previously conceded. but upon the
lawfulness OF the rate itself
Under the authority thus conferred. the
courts will be able To review the facts
upon which the commission acted. IL Is
now regarded as certain that a rate law
will be enacted at an early date.
Within the past day or two a iisposi-
tion has been shown by "A considerable
number OF Democrats 20 oppose the move
ment in their ranks TO form a coalition
with the minority Republicans. They be-
lieve that such a course would be poor
politics. and while the contention that
the rate bill is not partisan measure
Is held by many senator's OH both sides
OF the chamber. there are plenty who hold
that this very fact precludes entering into
combinations tsat disregard political lines.
FOR the reasoH that these combinations
would be for the purpose OF securing
political capital at the expense of those
who would decline 20 enter.
IL seems 20 be assured that a dozen
Democrats AZ least would decline TO be
bound by any caucus action looking to
an alliance with part of the Republicans.
and there are Indications OF a growing
sympathy IN the Democratic ranks with
the liberal court review Idea.
