May Have to Send Supplies for the
Philippines in Foreign Vessels.

Washington. - The quartermaster
general is confronted with a situation
which probably will compel authority

supplies to the Philippines in foreign
bottoms. Every effort has been made
to induce American n to submit
bids, but the only proposal received
was from the steamship China, which
would not, it is said, make more than
a couple of trips a year. If it appears
impossible to conform with the rule
that requires shipment of government
supplies in American bottoms, it will
be necessary to make arrangements

 His answer to the objection that if congress have the power to make rates it cannot delegate the same seems to me mere assertion and speculation, based on false premises"
 The suggestion or objection raised by Foraker was answered by the SUI preme court of the United States. which has never denied the right of state railroad commissions to fix rates after investigation of the facts and merits of each case. The only lmita- ton is that the rates must be such as to yield a reasonable return on the investment In the same way when a board of supervisors fixes rates for water or light it is exercising func- tions which are at the same time exc cutive, legislative and judicial

FORAkER IN THE WRONG BOX.

Senator Foraker gets in the wrong box when he attacks Secretary Taft's position on the regulation of railroad rates. In his speech before a Chautau- qua assembly the other day. the Ohio senator attempted a reply to Tafts Columbus speech on this subject We quote Foraker:
 The objection to conferring the rate making power upon the interstate commerce commission is not. in my opinion, answered by Secretary Taft He makes no answer to the suggestion that the three powers of government, the legislative, the executive and the judicial, are all conferred on the com mission and that this commingling of these powers is unprecedented and in

TO KEEP OFFICIALS HONEST.

 There is much to be said for both po- sitions. This is chiefly question of men. their capacity and their honesty. In Philadelphia - horrible example an ong es!-there was once a board

1t seems that Mr.. Greenfield formerly
lived next to Thomas M Bolden, 2222
Brightwood avenue. and that while re-
siding there he put up a party fence. When

fence which he had put UP and used the
wood for other purposes
Judge Mullowny held with Prosecuting
Attorney Ralph Given that after putting
up the fence Mr.. Greenfield had no right
to take it away. and therefore exceeded his
rights. Mr.. Greenfield thought he had that
right, however. and in view Of his state
ment he was allowed time to replace the
fence.
On the complaint Of Mr.. Bolden Precinct
Detective Greene of the tenth precinct ar
rested Greenfield, and the latter put up SIS
for his appearance in court today.
