BARBER BEGINS SUITS
Paving Company Files Two Actions
For March Term Of the District
court-caIhoun and Brown Gases
InvoIved-city, Mayor and Council
men Also Made Defendants.

The Barber Asphalt Paving Company
today filed in the district court two
petitions for the March term, in which
1T seeks to recover the certificates and
assessments held up by the city in
the Calhoun and Brown paving cases.
George W. Calhoun and wife. are
named as defendants In one, and Tim
othy Brown in the other. In each case
the city, mayor and all members of
the council are also made defendants.
The Calhoun case is based on the
West Church street paving. The pc
tition recites the, manner of paving
and the time the work was done; the
assessment by the city; the appeal of
the defendants Calhoun; and the set
ting aside the assessment by the dis
trict court on the ground that the paw
ing was not constructed In strict ac-
cordance with the contract. The plain
tiff claims, however, that the work was
done under the supervision and direc-
tion Of the city, was accepted by the
city, and approved by the inspectors in
charge. The plaintiff also claims that
tho Improvement was made strictly in
accordance with the contract.
AS the city refuses to reassess the
cost against the abutting property,
and to issue certificates to the PLAIN
tiff, the plaintiff prays that the court
shall ascertain and determine the bet
.terments added to the property: fair
and reasonable cost of the whole OF
the Church street Improvement, and
the proportion thereof that benefits
the property Of the defendants Cal
houn. The plaintiff also asks that the
court order the certificates issued, and
declare and establish lien against the
property. The amount involved in the
Calhoun case, for the improvement Of
the property, is $655.41.
In the Brown case, which is on the
South Fourth avenue work the petit
ton is the same. The amount involv-
ed here is $660.20.

COLD WAVE is GENERAL.

bureau sent out the following special
cold wave forecast: The severe cold
wave that covers the western states

and eastward over the Atlantic coast

The weather bureau announced that
the cold wave was felt from Texas

though the Indications are that the
freezing weather will extend to the
northern half Of Florida, the weather
bureau officials say that from present
indications they do not look for cold
enough weather in that section to dam
age the orange crop.
The coldest point reported by the
weather bureau last night was at

curry stood at "a below zero. At Du-

changes applies to assessment of du-
ties upon goods at the port Of depar-

alton OF goods at the place of manu-
facture and while treasury officials
have consented to this, they propose to
add freight charges In calculating du-
ties. Such changes were greatly de-
sired by German traders, but beyond
showing the disposition Of the execu-

OPPOSES RATE BILL
Congressman LittIefeId Thinks Pend
ing Measure Goes Too Far and Gives
Interstate Commerce Commission
judicial, Legislative and Executive
Power,

Washington Feb. 5.-The debate on
the railroad rate bill was resumed in
the house today, Littlefield. of Maine,
opening with an hours speech in OPP
position to the BILL
Littlefield believed the pictures Of
distress on the. rate question were en-
tirely too lurid. The railroads. un-
doubtedly, had made mistakes, but
conditions were not intolerable. On
the other hand, he said, the interstate
commerce commission had made many
blunders. The proposed legislation, he
believed, went too far, and he should
vote against it. He had been willing to
go as far as the president had rec
commended in 1904 4-05. Not a member
of the house, he maintained, could say
what is reasonable rate. There is
not single case in any court of rec
ord or any rule on which a reasonable
rate could be defined. This was one
of the great and tremendous difficul-
ties the bill presented and indicated
the vast arbitrary power that was to
be vested in political tribunal. In
the zeal with which both political par
ties were running legislative race,
they had gone far beyond the presi-
dents desires.
First the bill, in his opinion. con-
fers upon the commission power to
originate rates. Second, the bill pro-
vides no court of review, a pres
idential recommendation twice
made. as necessary, as conservative
and a wise restriction. Third, and
the most important Of all, the bill puts
into the hands Of the commission pow
er to say whether or not it shall elm
mate a preferential rate that exists
from one end of the land to the other
and is intermingled with all business
The remedy for the nine-tenths of the
rate evils, he said now exists lin all
courts, both under the present law and
common law. Under the proposed bill
a curious and incongruous condition
was proposed When the commission
determined whether a rate was rea-
sonable, it was acting in a judicial
capacity; when 1t prescribed rate for
the future it would be legislating and
when it administered this finding ii
acted in executive capacity. This was
a combination ofathree functions OF
overnment-Executive legislative and
judicial, in one single body. Littlefield
said he would demonstrate the inca
pacity of the interstate commerce COM
mission and from their own records
"and," he added, II will give them

of so much and see so little prac-

Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Makes Report on the
Pennsylvania System
INDICATIONS OF A COMPACT
Senate Given What Information the
President Could Secure, But Not
Much Light Is Shed on Workings Of
the Alleged combine-No Opinion as
to Law Violation.

Washington, Feb. 5.-President
Roosevelt today transmitted to the
house the report submitted to him by
interstate commerce commission. in re-
sponse to resolution regarding alleg-
ed combination OF the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company and certain other
roads named therein, In violation of
the anti-trus laws. The report after
quoting the resolution, says In part:
"The only definite facts known to
the commission, believed to have any
bearing on the subject matter Of this
resolution are those appearing in the
annual reports filed by the companies
named, in compliance with the act to
regulate commerce, except as the same
facts, or some of them, have been dis
closed from time to time in proceed
ings before the commission. From the
latest Of these reports covering the
year ending June 30, 1905, the follow
ing figures and other data has been
compiled: The Pennsylvania Railroad
Company has an authorized capital
stock Of 100000, 900. of which $3o2,513,-
300 has been issued and Is now out
standing. This company appears to
control, and is understood to control
all the lines embraced in the Pennsyl-
vania system, so-called, having an ag-
gregate mileage of 10,999, and gross
earnings for the year named Of $685.
10000. The term Pennsylvania sys-
tenn, as here used, includes the lines
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
Pennsylvania Company, Philadelphia,
Baltimore, and Washington and Nor
thern Central, but does not include
the Baltimore & Ohio, Norfolk & Wes-
tern, or Chesapeake & Ohio railroad
companies.
1T Is shown, however, that the COM
panies constituting the Pennsylvania
system controls considerable stock in
the three last named companies, but in
no instance do they control or own
majority of the outstanding stock"
In conclusion the report says:
From general knowledge and infor-
nation of the commission, the further
statement is warranted that, since the
acquisition by the Pennsylvania rail-
road and the companies controlled by
it, Of the stock of the Baltimore 4
Ohio, Norfolk & Western, and Chesa-
peake & Ohio and the published rates
of the several railroads named hava
been better maintained and in some
instances advanced; that there appears
to be less competition in the rates be-
tween these lines than was formerly
the case, but this is also true Of COM
petitive rates generally in other parts
Of the country. "As to whether the
facts herein before stated show or
tend to show violation of the act Of
congress referred to in the resolution,
the commission expresses no opinion,
as it is charged with no duty in con-
nection with that enactment and has
no authority to determine a question
arising there under"
