RATE LAW IN EFFECT.
Railroads, Not Ready For Its Enforce
ment, Liable to Heavy Fines.


ment, Liable to Heavy Fines.
Washington, Aug. 2S.The new rail
way rate law went into effect today
Unless the railroads hurry to comply
with the regulations good many Of
them will be liable to heavy fines.
Express, sleeping car and pipe line
companies are in the same category.
Very few OF them have fled with the
interstate commerce commission the
schedules of charges required by the
new law. On the contrary, they have
been imploring the commission for
grace in filing such schedules, asking
all the way from thirty days to the end
of the year. The commission has given
no sign of what it intends to do in the
matter, and unless it acts every rail-
road or other company concerned that
has not filed its schedule will be liable
to fine of from $1,000 to $4,000.
1t is stated that not single COM
pany has been able to fully comply
with the provisions of the law. The
schedule of switching charges was the
most difficult of completion, and it is
said that no road has been able to fin
ish 1t in time to file as the law directed.
1t is understood that the interstate
commerce commission will give addi-
tional time in every case in which a
road has given evidence of sincere in
tent to comply with the law. To dis
cuss this and other points a committee
representing the big eastern railroads
has come to Washington to meet the
commission. Representative of the
anthracite coal roads are anxious to OBJ
tain ruling from the commission on
that section of the law which prohibits
a railroad from carrying from state to
state any article manufactured mined
or produced by 1t except for its own
use. This includes coal
1t is expected that shippers will find
themselves benefited by the provision
which requires the railroads to include
all charges of whatsoever nature in
their quoted rates. Heretofore ship
per has had to figure for himself on
icing, refrigerator and elevator charges
and the dozen or more other incident
ais, dickering with the separate com
panies which had hands in the trans
portation or care of his shipment Now
the railroad must do that and the ship
per meets but one charge and deals
with but one concern.
The new law also requires the rail-
roads to establish uniform system of
accounting and to keep their books
open for inspection at all times by the
expert accountants of the commission
The feature is expected to go far to-
ward abolishing the rebate evil. The
railroad accountants are now confer
ring in regard to the uniform system of
bookkeeping which, however will not
go into effect until June 1 Of next year.
In the meantime the commission has
put its own experts at work devising
system.

Delegation From Florida, Headed by

In Metropolis.

New York, Aug. 2s.-The Nebraska
delegation of Bryan boomers, known
as Home Folks" held meeting at
the Hotel Victoria, in the course of
which they decided to corral their idol
and see New York; by the most ap-
proved methods. III. S. Daniels, law
yer of Omaha, was elected secretary of
the delegation, and a committee of
three was appointed to negotiate for
steamboat large enough to accommo-
date the entire delegation, consisting of
Ia persons, on trip down the bay to
meet the Princess Irene at Quarantine

day.

is the leading spirit of the delegation,
called the meeting to order and 'ran
things until the adjournment Mr..
Dahlman is former 'scow puncher''
and is proud of it.

rope anything that goes on four legs

have trouble getting Bryan off the boat
at Quarantine. If we do, I'll just show
the tenderfoots how we do things in

and yank him from the steamer to our

an will carry the state by 10000 Bry-
an will make one of the greatest presi-
dents in all history"
Just before the adjournment of the
meeting one of the delegates offered a
resolution that the entire party should
call at the office of Mr.. Hearst, whose
papers had supported Mr.. Bryan
throughout his campaigns"
The resolution did not meet with ap-
proval. One of the delegates opposed
it on the ground that no notice of the
arrival of the Nebraska delegation had
appeared in the newspaper of Mr..
Hearst. Another said he understood
that Mr.. Hearst had instructed his re-
porters to leave out the name of Bryan
wherever possible.
The opposition was effective and the
resolution to call at the offices of the
Hearst papers was withdrawn.
