Reply of Interstate Commerce
Commission Expected.
Is I'M HANDS OF PRESIDENT
No Facts in It's Possession Bearing on
Antitrust Violation.

tary Metcalf-Another House Res
olution May Result.
is IN HANDS OF PRESIDENT
THE SUBJECT PASSED ALONG

1t was expected that President Roosevelt
would send to the House yesterday the re-
ply of the interstate commerce commission
to the resolution of inquiry concerning the
Pennsylvania railroads relation with the
Baltimore and Ohio and other roads. The
commission placed in the hands of the Pres
ident its communication upon the subject
for transmission to the House. The infor-
nation was not forwarded however, al
though it was eagerly expected.
1t is understood that the commission vir-
tually passed along the subject to the At
torney General and Secretary Metcalfs de-
partment. 1t will, therefore, probably be
necessary for the House to take further ac-
ton if it wants to know. more about the
case.
The Commission Explains.
The commission explains, it is understood,
that it has no facts in it's possession bear
ing upon violation by railroads of the anti
trust laws, to which merger, If one ex-
listed, would be amenable. The resolution
did not direct the commission to make an
investigation, but to furnish all the facts
within its knowledge which would show or
tend to show that there exists or has eX
listed an arrangement between the roads
hostile to the Sherman antitrust act"
The commission reports, 1t is said, that It's
work has not been along the lines of de-
yeloping such facts and suggestions that
should be made to the Attorney General
and to the Department Of Commerce and
Labor. as those departments presumably
would be the depository of such knowledge.
The commission forwards the material re-
lating to the ownership by the Pennsyl-
Vania of the stock of the other railroads.
This was published In The Star a few days
ago and Is not an executive matter.
Subject Not to Be Dropped.
1t is not thought that the subject will be
allowed to drop In the House. The resou-
tion of inquiry created such stir it is
likely to be followed by further questioning
directed to the Attorney General and Sec
retary Metcalf. 1t is thought that Mr.. GIL
lespie. the author of the resolution, will
submit another calling upon those officials
for report.
Except for the uneasiness caused In the
stock market by agitation of the subject
the friends of the roads will probably not
oppose the resolution. They are confident
that nothing In the nature of a merger ex-
lists, and official declaration of that would
be welcomed as having the effect of giving
the roads a certificate of good character
and shutting off similar drives in the fu-
tuTe.

Result of Investigation of Office.

Particulars are mentioned of ten separate
times when this is said to have taken place
The embezzlement charges relate to money
which was rightfully in Linn's temporary
possession, and which lie is said to have
retained.
The investigation Of the affairs of the
office of clerk of the superior court has
been in progress for nearly a fortnight
Charges were made at the outset that
Linn had wrongfully taken the funds of the
county, but they lacked specific detail. The
matter was taken up by the grand jury a
week ago, and il was rumored soon after
that the commencement OF the investiga-
tion by that official that indictments would
be forthcoming. They were not returned
until today, however
Linn seemed to take the charges against
him in a cool manner. lie admitted that
he had expected some such action by the
jury, because of all the talk that had been
made regarding his affairs. Concerning the
charges themselves he refused to say any
thing. His lawyers declare that the indict-
ments are too recent for them TO express
an opinion regarding them.

International Police Suggested.

Still another compromise, apparently hav-
ing the approval of Germany, is to institute
an international police for limited and ex-
perimental period, and If the experiment
fails France will then be in position TO
assume the organization of the police.
France, however, shows no disposition to
accept the plan for an international police
system, even for an experimental period.
These and other tentative plans will have
to undergo constant revision owing to the
opposition of the various elements. Moth
ing as yet has been reduced to writing as
neither Germany nor France is prepared 70
definitely disclose just how far they are
willing to go in the way of concessions II
is expected that the discussion of the ques-
ton of a state bank may aid In a. solution
of the troubles, for If Germany is willing to
give France q strong hand over Morocco's
finances France may yield control of the
police for the present, leaving the future
to decide what power must provide the
force to control Morocco.

BY MOROCCAN CONFERENCE
Question of Control of the Police of
Morocco.
FOREIGN DELEGATES ANXIOUS
Matter Which First Caused the Seri-
ous Strain Between France and
Germany-Plans Discussed.

ALGECIRAS, February S.-The confer
ence on Moroccan reforms has now been
freed of most of the minor questions before
1t, and finds itself fast approaching the
graver issue which heretofore caused the
serious strain In the relations between
France and Germany. This issue hinges on
who shall control the policy of Morocco, as
It appears TO be recognized that whoever
controls this semi-mllitary organization will
control Morocco itself.
The delegates to the conference have
shown increasing anxiety at the approach
of this issue, knowing the intense feeling
It has aroused between France and Ger
many, and accordingly the representatives
of the disinterested powers are redoubling
their efforts to secure an accord before the
question reaches the open conference, and
thereby Divert an open controversy and a
possible deadlock. Various compromise
plans are being discussed.
The ambassadors say tonight they are
hopeful that middle ground will be found
that will be acceptable to both countries;
but they admit the extreme difficulty OF
finding such a ground, owing to the firm
ness both France and Germany thus FAR
have shown against making concessions
which each country feels will involve the
sale of Morocco. On the one hand, France
wants control of the semi-military police
and, on the other hand, Germany objects to
French control on the ground that it would
make France the virtual master of Mo-
rocco's political future. These positions
are so radically opposed as to appear to be
almost irreconcilable, yet the neutral dele
gates are strenuously continuing their pa
cific offices toward finding a common
ground acceptable to both countries.
Disclosure of Plans Avoided.
The ambassadors strongly oppose the dis
closure Of the various tentative plans for
compromise saying that publicity tends to
excite the opposition of one side or the
other and wreck the best efforts of diplo-
macy. However, some of the compromise
projects are on the following general lines:
The first is to leave the police to the Sui
tan of Morocco, thus avoiding Germanys
objection to French control and that OF
France to international control. This COM
promise is distasteful to France, but the
neutral delegates are seeking to reconcile
French opposition to it by pointing out that
the sultan would have to rely upon France
to officer, instruct and discipline the police.
Another compromise vaguely put forward
is to give Spain or some other of the powers
a share with France in the organization of
police. This again meets with the opposi-
ton of having France participate in any
control OF the police.

REpUDIATE PLATFORM.

The action of a socalied ''mass''
meeting of republicans held at Rath-
drum for the purpose of defining
county division lines for the party
after their county convention had
voted down such an amendment and
adopted a resolution simply favoring
division, will be looked upon by the
people as an attempt to job them by
double dealing. Finding their first
efforts to cover up the question Of q
division line for the sake Of holding
the voters of Rathdrum to their ticket
failure, few of the politician and
candidates meet in ''mass'' conven-
tion and throw some sop to the divi-
sionists. This double dealing will
not work with the people, and they
are going to stand by the clear cut
democratic declarations for division.
The issue Is not partisan one,
political principles are not at stake
In this campaign and there Is going
to be 3 lot OF independent voting.
Diyisionists will take no chances
with party that is divided on the
question, It's convention declaring
for one thing and It's "mass" conven.
tion declaring for another.
The division resolutions Of both
parties and the action Of the mass
convention are published in a re.
port from Rathdrum in this issue and
we will leave 1t to the good judgment
OF the reader to determine which il
the more clear and reliable.

At Twin Falls the delegates will BE-
taken to all points of scenic interest.
The trains will then go to Idaho Falls
