Washington, ID. c., Jan. 80.
The house committee on territories
has been investigating some of the re-
markable statutes of the territory of
New Mexico and has reached the con-
clusiOn that the railroads have eXer-
cised altogether too much influence in
the making of the territorial laws. As
a result the committee viii recon-
mend for passage a joint resolution dis
approving and multiplying certain en-
actments of the territorial legislature
1t viii be recalled that during the last
session of congress, charges were con-
stantly made that the railroads and
mining corporations were in complete
control of both Arizona and New Mex
leo, and that they were violently op-
posed to statehood, lest under the new
regime, they should lose their COM
plete domination of affairs Sometime
ago Mrs. NADIA b Wagner, a non-resi-
dent of New Mexico attempted to sue
the Denver and Rio Grande railroad
on account of the death of her hus-
band, who was killed in a wreck in
New Mexico. Her counsel. Charles A.
Clerk, of Cedar Rapids. Iowa, went to
New Mexico and disco Vgred that in
A9YS thy tig1S Sfigl oLA atNr ftG
passed law requiring that In such
cases claim for damages must be
brought within the territory OF New
Mexico and within the territorial
courts, the proof of the death must be
filed before an officer Of the territory
together with list of the witnesses
within ninety days after the casualty
in case the person injured does not
bring suit the corporation may itself
bring an action for exemption from
the liability.
Attorney Clark. after his investiga-
ton in New Mexico returned home
convinced that if these laws were per-
mitted to remain in force ii would be
utterly impossible for anybody to Sc
cure judgment against railroad
company in that territory Accordingly
he brought the matter before the ju-
dietary committee through Congress
man Birdsall of Iowa, who introduced
a joint resolution disapproving and
multiplying the particular statutes OF
New Mexico which had been brought
under criticism. and the committee
has recommended the measure for
passage.

RAILROAD COMPANIES CLAIM
THEY NEED THE MONEY.
Appeal TO Interstate Commerce Com
mission to Raise Rates From 2Isc to
zoe per Hundredweieht in all
Freight Tariffs-Effective Jan. l.,
19o9-All Railroads Are Included.

The transcontinental railroads, the
Northern Pacific, the Great Northern
and the Hartman system, covering
the Pacific northwest, with its con-
nectiOns, the Oregon Short Line and
the Oregon Railway d Navigation
company, are preparing, so it is de-
clared, to propose to the interstate
commerce commission a general in
crease ranging from 21z to 20 cents
per hundTedweight in all freight tar
ifs from Chicago to the Coast and
from Puget sound to San Francisco.
This increase is to be effective Jan
uary ], 1903, if approved by the com
mission.
The recent trip of II. M. Adams, a
general agent of the Great Northern,
and r. B. Miller, general freight agent
of the o. r. & N, to Spokane, Taco
ma and other common points on the
systems was made, it is declared, for
the purpose of checking present rates,
with a view to proposing the advance.
One of the most important confer
ences was that in the offices of Gen
eral Freight Agent Henry Blakley of
the Northern Pacific.
At that meeting the question of the
increase was thoroughly discussed
and the general freight tariffs carried
in Mr. Blakeley's Office carefully
checked. Officials of the Northern Pa
cific do not care to discuss the report
ed increase at this time. In some
quarters the report is questioned. The
general impression among railroad
men seems to be, however, that the ad
vance is not improbable, and that, il
proposed, it is justified by conditions
They add that publication is prema
ture, as the plans are not fully worked
out
This proposition will be submitted
TO the interstate commerce commits
sion by the railroads, which will con
tend that the increase is justifable
| by reason of the advanced price OF
coal, labor and material, lower pas
senger rates and the expense which
the roads are put to in defending
themselves from persecution.
Henry Blakely, general western
freight agent of the Northern Pacific
at Tacoma says there is not bit OF
truth in the above report. Hecharact
erized the story as a pipe ream ano
denied it unqualifiedly. Furthermore
the railroads are u' conten palting an
advance in transcontinental treigh'
rates.
