RAILROADS OPEN THEIR
WAR OF RETALIATION
Freight Rates on Grain, Coal
and Iron to Be Raised
on April l
COMMISSION TO ACT
Constitutionality of the New
Law Will Be Brought
to Issue

WASHINGTON. March 2o--In re-
taliation for the action Of State Legis-
latures in establishing two-cent fares
and for the public agitation against
them, the railroads of the West have
served notice on the Interstate Com
merce Commission of an increase of
freight rates on grain. coal and iron
This will result in test of the con-
stitutionality of the rate regulation.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
is obliged to keep the rates as low
as possible and the roads will en-
deavor to show that they are now
unable to carry the commodities named
at a profit under the rate which has
been effective for the past two years
Formal notice was served on the
Interstate Commerce Commission to-
day by all the trunk lines out of Chi
cago that the rate on grain from
Chicago to New York would be in
creased on April l from II cents per
hundred pounds to 1914 cents per hum
dred pounds. Coal mine operators and
shippers in Illinois have been before
the commission for two days protest.
ing against a proposed increase in the
rate on coal and the same is true of
iron.
One of the causes alleged by the
railroads for another increase Of rates
Is that they find it difficult on account
of the public agitation against them
to borrow money with which to make
betterments. The added cost of money
together with the increased cost of
labor and material and general in
crease of operating expenses leave
nothing to be done but to increase
the freight rates, 1t is claimed. In
the representations SO far made to- the
commission not single road has taken
into consideration the increase in Its
revenues because OF the cutting OF of
rebates and free transportation-a
most important item, according to the
railroad presidents who appeared be-
fore the Interstate Commerce commit
tees of the Senate and the House.
When the rates are increased by the
roads the test of the validity Of the
new rate regulation law will come.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion will then be compelled to decide
what "a just and reasonable" rate is
Members of the commission believe
that any decision looking to lowering
the rates fixed by the railroads will
be Immediately taken into the courts
to test the constitutionality of the act
Already the commission Is planning to
get quick action by the United States
Supreme Court, should the roads de-
sire to test the law. The Department
of Justice will ask that the hearings
be advanced so that a decision can
be had at the very earliest moment.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

NEW YORK. March 20-It is be-
lieved that the fixed determination of

PLAN TO KILL GEAR
TERRORIST PLOT WAS BOILED BY
 POLICE.
ConspiratOrs Were To Have Committed Deed on Easter--They Included Men Whose Loyalty Was
 Not Questioned.

London. May 12--The Daily Tele- graphs St. Petersburg correspondent repofts the accidental discovery and foiling of the greatest terrorist plot since the great December conspiracy eighty-two years ago.
 The correspondent says he has the sensational story from two reliable sources. According u these versions. no fewer than eighty conspirators re- solved a couple of months ago to as- sassinate Emperor Nicholas and plans were finally fixed for carrying out the deed during Easter. The plotters in- cluded reserve officers and other offi- cials and civilians whose loyalty hither- to had been undoubted. A large num- Der of plotters, the correspondent says, was necessitated by the elaborate pre- cautions adopted nowadays to protect imperial personages.
 The plan was to approach Tsarskoe- Selo in distinct groups and then execute a sudden and daring attack on the pal- ace The first group, consisting of thirty-four men, arrived on the scene Good Friday. when. from some means unknown, suspicious against them were aroused, the whole thirty-four of them were arrested at Tsarskoe-Selo and doc- uments found in their possession led to the apprehension of the other members of the band in St. Petersburg.

Madrid. May 12-At Il o'clock this morning the ceremony of inscribing the name of the newly born Prince of the Asturias on the city birth registry took place before the minister of justice, the first notary of the kingdom. The prince received the names Alfonso Pic Cristino Edurado.
 The christening which was originally fixed for next Tuesday, has been post poned to a date not yet fixed, the king wishing to make the ceremony as im- posing as possible.
 des the leading Monarchial democrat King Edward telegraphed asking to be Godfather of the infant, but a reply was sent regretting that this was inn possible. inasmuch as Pope Plus already had been named.
 The Duke of Soto Mayer chief of the royal palace, has received and sent replies to eight thousand telegrams of congratulation up to the present time
 This evenings bulletin reports both the queen and the infant prince to be in excellent condition.
 The political situation in Spain has visibly improved partly as the result of the prince, which has placed the dynasty on a more solid basis. The Liberal party is showing disposition to abandon it's intransigeant attitude and probably will abstain for short time from its methods of opposition and then resume active participation in politics. On the other hand the birth of the heir is a distinct setback to the growing influence of the republicans.
