Lumber Company Wants Rates Fixed

Washington, June lin a petition

Missouri Pacific, the Northern Pacific,
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, the

imposed upon the complainant unlaw-
full rates, regulations and practices in
the shipment Of lumber to it from Pa
cifc coast points. The lumber COM

full rates on lumber and lumber prod

termine a proper routing OF such
freight and to issue an order to compel

PROSECUTION OF HARTMAN
Finally Determined Upon in Three
Distinct Deals.

Washington. - Developments since
the conference at the White House, in
which the president and Attorney-Gen-
eral Bonaparte, Secretaries Root, Taft,
Coctelyou and Garfield and Interstate
Commerce Commissioners Knapp and
Lane and United States Attorney Kel-
logg of ST. Paul participated, make it
probable that the government will be-
gin proceedings under the antitrust
act against E. H. Hartman and his as
sociates for violations of the law in con-
nection with the so-called Chicago and
Alton deal, the Union and Southern
Pacific transactions, and perhaps in
connection with the Southern Pacific
and the San Pedro traffic agreement.
The contemplated prosecution of the
bituminous ~coal-carrying roads, how
ever, will likely await the result of the
action by the courts in the cases to be
brought against the Hartman roads.
1t is explained that there are some i'm
portant questions that are common to
both cases, and therefore, it is assert
ed, the suits against the bituminous
coal roads will not be brought until the
courts have rendered judgment in the
Hartman cases.

VETOES TWO-CENT RATE BILL
Gov. Hughes of New York Presents
His Reasons Therefor.

Albany, n. Gov. Hughes today
vetoed the bill recently passed fixing
a fiat 2-cent passenger fare on the rail-
roads of New York. In the course of
his message the governor points out
that the passage of the bill was not
preceded by legislative investigation or
suitable inquiry under the authority of
the State. Nor is the rate predicated
on reports or statistics officially col
lated which would permit a fair conolu-
sion as to the justice of its operation
with reference to the railroads within
its purview. Injustice on the part of
the railroad corporations toward the
public does not justify injustice on the
State toward the railroad corporations.
The fact that those in control of rail
road corporations have been guilty of
grossly improper fnanciering and of
illegal and injurious determinations in
charges points clearly to the necessity
of effective State action. but does not
require arbitrary r~eprisals."

SENATOR MORGAN is DEAD.
Inirmities Of Age Largely RESPONSE
BILE for Demise.

WashingtOn.-United States Senator
John Tyler Morgan of Alabama, for
thirty years a member of the upper
house of congress-, chairman of the sem
ate committee on i~nteroceanic canals
and prominent as a brigadier-general
in the Confederate army, died at his
home tonight. Senator Morgan had
been in bad health for a number Of
years, but had more or less regularly
attended the sessions of congress. He
suffered angina pectoris, Which wasth h
cause of his death.
Mr.. Morgan attended to his congress
sional duties at his home here until
about a week ago.. Since that time he
has been confined to his house and to
his bed. He was able, however, to sit
up for a while today and talk over some
official matters with his secretary. He
began failing in the evening, however,
and the physicians were hurriedly sum-
moned.
Second to William Boyd Allison of
Iowa in continuous service, second to
his colleague, Edmund Winston Pettus,
in years, Gen. John T. Morgan yielded
to o in ability and devotion to duty
as a senator of the United States. AL
though he held a pardon from the presi-
dent of the United States for participa-
tion in the civil war, Gen. Morgan, de-
string. to hold Office under the national
government, had his disabilities re-
moved by congress, under an act which
included, among others, former Sena-
tors Pugh of Alabama Vest of Mis-
souri,, Butler of South Carolina, Gibson
of Louisiana, Faulkner of Virginia and
Ransom of North Carolina. He was
elected to the senate to succeed George
Goldwaithe, and entered upon the per-
Torrance of his duties March 3, 1877.
