depreciation of a recent ruling by the in
terstate commerce commission has lust
been made by that body to the effect that
the burden is ON the shipper to establish
the legality OF the shipping rates quoted
10 him by railroad official, and that If
either the shipper knowingly accepts or a
railroad knowingly grants a rate lower
than the published one. the action is a
violation of the law and subject to PEN
atty.
This Interpretation has been made plain
by d letter of f. a. Moseley secretary of
the commission, to L. H. Walcott. secre-
tary of the Boston Merchants Associa-
tiOn
A short time ago Mr.. WalCott on behalf
or the association wrote the interstate
commerce commission asking an explana-
uon OF their ruling. as il had occasioned
much Misunderstanding among Boston
shippers as to whether they could rely
upon the rates quoted them by freight
agents or billing clerks.
The answer puts il up to the shippers
10 see tHat they are paying the right
rates The decision is regarded as yery
Important in the movement to put n stop
TO railroad rehating, as it makes the

control by the federal government in his
speech at the Berrien County Republican

Referring to what had been done to-
ward restraining the big railroads and
other corporations, Mr.. Fairbanks said:
1--WE have been concerned in the consid-
Grafton of the control of the agencies
engaged in the conduct of interstate COM
merce. We have dealt with them SO as
to destroy the evil and preserve that
which is good In them. and which Is es-
sentially the wholesome development Of
our interstate commerce. We have dem

have been disputed, that those agencies
which minister unto the public must be
the servants and not the masters of
the public"

STRONGER FORT WANTED.
Weakness Of the Defenses of Chesa-
peake Bay Pointed Out.

Interest in the building of an island be-
tween Cape Charles and Cape Henry at
the mouth of the Chesa peake bay, will be
revived at the coming session of Congress-
when an estimate approximating $2,5O0 900
for the erection of batteries upon it will
be submitted to that body. The proposed
fortification Of this approach to the bay
formed one of the recommendations of what
is known as the Taft board. and at the
latest session of Congress an effort was
made to secure an appropriation for the
construction Of the proposed fortifcation
and the building of the island There were
legal complications in the way, however
which operated to prevent the necessary
been obviated. and the shoals upon which
it is proposed to build the island are now
in complete possession of the United States
government. They originally belonged to
Virginia, but as a result of the necessary
negotiations have been transferred to the
War Department. 1t Is suggested that the
dispatch to the Pacific coast of Admiral
Evans battleship fleet will have a bene-
fetal effect In having the Congress realize
that the protection Of Washington and Bal
timore makes 1t most imperative that some
attention be given to this important point
The War Department frankly admits that
the short batteries that could be utilized
at present at the capes would be of ques-
gaining entrance to the Chesapeake
The construction Of the island would go
far toward eliminating the danger there;
but until Congress acts this must be con-
sidered one of the weakest points on the
eastern SeabOard.

Gently will be wiped out of existence on a
technicality If the schemes of the Standard

day. are carried to fruition
The line of action which may result in
the big fine becoming nothing but a name
revolves around the decision of Judge Lam
dis in the Alton immunity case, which is
set for hearing September "a
In the event that the Alton is granted
the immunity which. it has been fully es-
tablshed, was promised to the railroad
through agreement with former Attorney
General Moody. the Standard Oil attor-
neys will demand that Judge Lands fine
be set aside. The grounds for this plea will
be that the Standard Oil lawyers should
have been aDDrised OF this immunity
agreement In order that they might ques-
tion the Alton railroad witnesses properly.
Question the Procedure.
The Standard Oil will contend that they
should have been allowed to ask these
railroad clerks who gave such full evidence
In regard to rates and shipments and tariffs
whether their testimony had been infiu-
enced in any way by the knowledge that
the road which employed them would not
suffer prosecution.
The lawyers claim that the procedure In
the case was illegal and that 1t furnishes
sufi1cfent ground for setting aside the fine.
