CHICAGO-That railroad executives
generally approve Of the plan for gov.
crnment control and regulation Of
transportation lines Of he nation. as
advocated bv Robert Mather. president
Of the Rock Island. company. in his
speech to the Chicago Association Of
Commerce, was strongly indicated
when various officials went on record
to that effect.
Mr.. Mather's address was called ad.
mirable in every way, and none {: the
railroad officials interviewed disagreed
with him as to the desirability Of cen
tralized authority in preference to
what they called the varied and iacon-
sis.ent system Of laws passed by state
legislatures. It was granted, too, that
Mather had done well to talk openly
of Relating.
After. camplimenting Mr.. Mather on
his speech. E. p. Ripley. PRECEDENT OF
the Santa Fe. said he THOUGHT the
principal points urged by the Rock 81
and oflcial wen taken.
what the railroads are opposed TO-"
he said. "ts this varied assortment Of
rules. regulations and laws unoer
which at present they must operate.
For instance, the Santa Fe runs
through fourteen states and terrific les.
and what is legal in one state may Le
unlawful In another, and vice versa.
In other words, We have too many mas
tiers. Would not 1t be much better for
us II We had single, central source OF
regulation than so many. I believe
that is the position being taken by Mr.
Mather and most railroad officials"
"A great address, a verv sensible and
convincing Speech" said J. T. Hara-
han. president of the Illinois Central
railroad. Taken as q whole and not
Analysing each and every section. Mt.
Mather's position in ny opinion,
pretty well expressed the feeling of
railroad presidents and managers.
The trouble Is and has been that the
states have various laws which con-
fict with the interstate laws. This
leads to embarrassment and needs cor
rection. It also is true ttat the sew
eral states have statutes which do not
agree. This leads to trouble.
What do you think Of his reference
to rebates?" MI. Harahan was asked.
"Oh. !: vas all right guess it was
true, every word Of It. They used to
give and take rebates. I suppose, but
they do not any more No n warts

= II do r1t know what the railroads
intend to do. II they haze agreed upoa

Rules Against Them.
Washington-The Interstate Com
merce commission handed down . de-
cisiop against the Cudahy Packing
company In its suit with the North,
western Railway company. The Gu
daily people. Who " and operate a
warehouse at Deadwood, 8. D.. on the
line Of the Northwestern. to which
their products are brought in refr1gera
tor cars, have been in the habit CT
leaving these cars "a the tracks OIL
the Northwestern line over and above
lie Gxedt lint Of time laid down BY
the, railroad. In consequence, OF this
the railroad company charges cemur
rage aga,cst the packing company.
Notwithstanding it owned its own cars.
This did net suit the packers and they
brought the matter to the attention OF
the Interstate Commerce commission.
which after a ful hearing has decided
against the packing company upon the
theory, possibly, that what is sauce for
the goose is sauce for the gander"
The Interstate Commerce commits
SION in deciding against the Cudahy
company upho:ds the position which is
taken from the very beginning Of the
comm.ission's history. that the purpose
OF a demurrase charge is. to c0mpei
s..n prompt unloading and release OF
cars, ard this IS net only for the pur-
pose OF securing the Use of equipment,
but also Of relieving the tr acks upon
which the equipment must stand. .
At first blrsh it would e as il
the commission had made q foolish
ruling In this case. in view of the Gu.
daily people owning the cars. but. as
the commission says. Gar service
rules of the defendant in this case pro-
vide that no demurrage shall be
charged where the same person owns
both track and cars. It may be doubtful
what rule ought to he applied when
the a is the property Of one person
and the track the property of another.
neither car nor track being owned by
the railway"
The commission, however. found lit
tie difficulty in arriving at its decision
in the ESQ at bar upon the theory that
freight congestion should be relieved

the railway owned the ear or 1t was
owned by q private corporation.

The Awful 0isaSter Said to Have Been
Caused by SPARKS From Some
Defective Shaftina.

Fontanet. Ind.-Thirty-eight lives
snufed out, six hundred injured, Of
which number fifty were seriously
hurt, and a property loss Of approx
mately $4,000 Is the latest estimate
of the destruction wrought by the ex-
Eplosion Of the Dupont powder mills
yesterday morning.
From q workman employed In the
glazing mill it was learned that a hot
box" which was caused by too much
friction on the shafting caused sparks
to be transmitted to some loose pow
der, was in all probability the cause
Of the terrible catastrophe. The en-
plOye, whose name is William Sher-
row, and who Is dangerously hurt as q
result Of the explosion. said:
The explosion " " caused by some
loose boxing ON the shaft. The day
before this terrible explosion happened
we had to throw water on 1t when 1t
became too hot This time it got too
hot and sent OF the sparks that
caused the explosion"
Another company of state militia ar
rived from Indianapolis this evening

Coroner Learitt Of Vigo county spent
the entire day in investigating the
cause of the accident. The coroner de-
clares that it is his opinion that not
more than thirty men were at work ct
the tinfe the explosion occurred. He
said that In an explosion OF the inten-
sity Of this One it is probable that a
