Railroad King Not to Continue ContrO-

e. H. Hartman Thursday made the
following statement relative to the re-
cent exchange of correspondence be-
tween himself and President Roose-
velt
Il do not intend to continue this
controversy. You gentlemen (mean-
ing the reporters) must try to help me
and not ask me to answer questions
the answers to which are self-evident
Everybody knows the contest for
the senatorship in 1904 was between
Black and Depew and there could not
possibly have been any other candi-
date. There was no bargain whereby
money was to be raised in considera-
tion Of having Depew appointed as
ambassador to France or made sena-
tor, and my letter to Webster does not
so state. That part of the agreement
was for the purpose of harmonizing
the Black-Depew forces if it became
necessary"

SPOKANE RATE
CASE HEARING

The hearing by the interstate COM
MERGE commission at Portland is await
ed with keen interest. 1t is realized
that this is the first fundamental issue
raised by the new rate law, going to
the real question as TO rates rather than
as to discrimination. 1t is claimed that
decision favorable to Spokane would
compel radical alteration of the sys-
tenn of jobbing and haulage from Chi
cago westward. The decision in the
Denver case that railroads can not le-
gally charge an improbable rate for
transcontinental freight, is taken as
promising a concession to Spok ane, or
at least that the roads must give her
the same rates as charged through to
the coast ports.
Spokane and her jobbing territory
are paying annually to the transconti-
mental railroads serving them over 3d.
900, 900 more than the same service
would cost if these goods were deliver
ed at Portland or Puget Sound points.
This startling evidence is compiled
from the testimony of the railroads fill
ed with the interstate commerce COM
mission at the hearing of the Spokane
rate case before Commissioner @. A.
Prouty, at Portland, Ore.
