Divided on Rate Fixing.
On a question involving the right Of
the interstate commerce commission to
determine railroad rates the supreme
court was evenly divided, four to four,
Justice Holmes not voting because
he was interested in one of the rail-
roads concerned The case grew out of
the action of the general freight agents
Of thirty railroads in advancing the
classification of various commodities,
which the commission held to be I'M
reasonable as to hay. The roads re-
fused to change the rate, and Judge
Wing of the circuit court for northern
Ohio decided that the commission was
without power to issue such an order.
The effect of the supreme courts divi-
sion is to affirm the Wing opinion.

| pressed great surprise at the diSclO-
sures Of official grating and promised
an inyestiga ton, when summoned as

| of any Of the coal stock. He said it had
been the policy of the company to en-
courage the officials to invest in prop
critics along the line of the road.
Sensational chapters were added to
this story, ranging from the acceptance
of small cash brides by an assistant
trapmaster to the acquiring of SCI 900
of coal stock free by J. Howard Pat
ton, brother of William A. Patton.
Other manifestations were the pay
! ment of 500 apiece for the assignment

Secretary Taft has made it known that
he would feel justified, under the exist

Quelling any attempted revolution as
being detrimental to the progress of
the canal work. In other words, order

Chief Engineer Stevens on arriving

that dredges could be got cheaper in
Europe, but were hard to get any
where, and cost S35OOOO each. 1t
would take fifteen TO twenty years to
complete the work Of a sea level canal
and from eight to nine years for lock

and 10000 men at work

Sinclair Challenges Armour.
In a letter to the newspaper editors
of America Upton Sinclair, author OF
THE Jungle" makes public chal-
lenge to ]. Ogden Armour to bring a
criminal prosecution by charging that
Armour is personally responsible for
the death Of thousands Of people who
consume the products of his condemn
ed meat industry" Sinclair says in
so many words that it means murder.
All that he wants is a chance to prove
his charges in court, and he asks If
Armour is afraid to give him a chance.
All that Armour has answered to the
published evidence so far, says Sin
clair, is to send out more advertise
ments to the newspapers and maya
zines with the object Of heading off
criticism.
