AVOID SERIOUS CLASH
Interstate Commerce Commission Set
 ties Coal Shippers Dispute.


 Washington, March 27.-Prompt ao. tion by the Interstate Commerce Com mission has averted. at least for the present. what might have developed into a serious clash between the coal shippers and the railroads of Indiana and Illinois.
 On the 18th instant, Judge Wood. of the Indiana Railroad Commission. John Mitchell. president of the United Mine Workers of America, and repre- sentative coal operators of Indiana and Illinois complained to the Inter- state Commerce Commission that the carriers had given notice of an ad- vance of ten cents a tAn on coal from Indiana and Illinois points to Chicago.
 Such an advance it was pointed out to the commission would affect seri- ously both operators and miners and the question of filing a normal com plaint against the railroads was con- sidered by the delegation with the commission. An intime also was made that the attorney general would be requested to investigate he matter with view to instituting proceedings against the carriers for violation of the antitrust law.
 The commission at once communica- ted with the presidents of the rail- roads interested including the Chicago and Eastern Illinois. the Evansville and Terre Haute. the Indianapolis Southern. the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St, Louis, the Chicago, Indiana and Southern, the Pittsburg. Cincinnati. Chicago and St. Louis, the Chicago. Indianapolis and louisville, the Vandalia lines. the Southern In- diana and the Illinois Central.
 They were informed of the com plaint and which had been received and the commission made in the words of Chairman Knapp, the certain "suggestions" to the railroads. It was announced by the commission to- day that replies to the communication had been received from the lines and that the determination to make the proposed advance in the coal rates had been 'reconsidered and abandoned.

CARNEGIE ENDORSES
 ROOSEvELT'S POLICY
MuitimflliOnaire Says Railroads Had Better stand With The Pres
 fdent.

Washington, March 27.--Andrew Carnegie, who is in Washington on a few days visit, expressed the follow ing opinion today on the railroad asitu- ation.
 T absolutely endorse the Presidents attitude towards the railroads. He Is the best friend they have and they ought to realize 1t. The railroads had better stand with him. If they do not accept his moderate measures, they may be confronted by a man in the White House who will approach the question of the railroads from an en- tirely different standpoint. I regard the Presidents influence as to the railroads as wholesome and conserva- tive"
 MT. Carnegie lunched with the Pres ident this afternoon. Others present were Vice President Fairbanks, Secre- tary Cortelyou, Assistant Secetary of State Bacon and Robert S. Mccormick former ambassador to France.

ADDRESS FROM PRESIDENT.
Asked to Express His Policy fn Regard
 to Business.

Washington, March 27.--A commit tee representing the Illinois Manufac- turing Association, composed of c. H. Smyth of Aurora, president of the or ganization; Levy Mayer of Chicago. general counsel; John E. Wilder of Chicago, W. B. Brinton of Dixon, ILL, Charles A Plamondon of Chicago and John M. Glenn, secretary of the asso- citation, called on the President today by appointment and extended to him an urgent invitation to adress, at Springfield, H.. at the earliest possi- ble date, a convention of representa- tives of the manufacturing and mer- cantile interests of Illinois and the Middle-west.
 during which there was a free discus sion of the railroad situation. At it's conclusion the committee gave out the following statement.
 The committee submitted to the President that the present railroad financial situation was creating a feel ing of timidity and apprehension to such an extent that it threatened an immediate curtailment of banking and business credit, which had heretofore been extended to the business interests of the country at a time when the greatest possible demand for the fur ther extension of credit prevailed for the development of the increasing de- mands of the manufacturing and mer- camille industries of the country
 It was shown to the President that the manufacturers in the enjoyment of their unprecedented credit had largely extended their business in the making of purchases necessary to fill orders which require many months for their compietion; that the manufacturing and mercantile industries were appre- hensive that feeling of distrust was getting foothold which would lead to financial curtaiiment, and such re- strtction of credit as to threaten dan gerous results to the great prosperity that now existed.in all avenues of in- dustry.
 It was urged upon the President that very great good would come to all fn- terests alike if he wou,I signify his willingness to express in a public ad- dress. as soon as possible, the keynote of his creative and constructive policy. The President was informed by the committee that though the country's prosperity was very great, 1t would soon become seriously impaired by the creation of an uneasiness on the part of banks and investors and would lead to such distrust as to prevent the sup- ply of the necessary moneys to satis- fly existing wants, as well as to meet the unparalleled development of the manufacturing and transportation in terests of the country The President inquired carefully into the prevailing mercantile conditions, and expressed himself as most anxious and determined to do all in his power 70 protect, pre- serve and encourage all legitimate bus iness interests of every kind
 At the close of the conference tba President thanked the committee for its frank statement of the existing con ditions as they appeared to them and promised that within a few days he would determine whether his present engagements would permit him to &C., cept the committees invitation. which he expressed himself as anxious to do if he possibly could

ORGANIZATION FILLED.
Reason of Order Disseminating Re-
 cruitment of Negroes.


 cruitment of Negroes.
 Washington. March e7.--It was sta ted at the War Department today that the reason the order was issued dis continuing further recruitment of negroes, is because the existing mili- tary organization authorized by Con- gress has now been filled up to It's maximum strength. including the bat talion of the 25th infantry. the mem bers of which were dismissed without honor as the result of the Brownsville affair.
 The department itself announced several months ago that all the me- gro troops of the United States witt, a small exception affecting some short time men and a few at the West Point military academy had been or dered to the Philippines and this Or der has been modified only so far as it affects the companies of the 25th infantry supposed to have some knowledge of the Brownsville affair who may be wanted as witnesses in this country. Tn the case of that or ganization, the order to go to the Philippines has been rescinded.

CAR TICKET DECISION
Street Railway Must Obey Memphis
 City Ordinance.

Memphis. Tenn, March 27.-sustain- ing the validity of a city ordinance which seeks to compel the Memphis Street Railway Company to sell tickets at the rate of six for twenty-five cents and declaring the extended franchise which the company has been claiming g since November 20, 1905, is of no legal value. Judge Pittman today decided the $2,0O damage cult of William G, Byrne against the Memphis Street Railway in favor of the plaintiff At torneys for the defendant immediately filed notice of appeal.

gave out e statement expressing his sorrow as the Chief Executive of the State upon the Hines of Senator Pettus. It ifs as follows:
 I have received a telegram from J.
 T have received a telegram from J. tus at Hot Springs, N. C.. which states that Senator Pettus is very i'll. The family and the State have my sympa- thy, because his death would be a great loss to both. Scarcely a man in the State stands closer to the hearts of the people.
 Tt Is easily recalled that in the po- litical revolution of 1874, when the white mans party was declared and the people broke loose from the rule of the negro. the carpet-bagger and scallawag. and many of our best citi- zens were indicted before the Federal Court at Montgomery for the most se- rious offenses alleged to have been committed at that election against the Federal law, Senator Pettus volunteer ed his services for the defense and without remuneration, and no doubt helped take care of the causes of many of his fellow citizens in those import ant suits.
 T will state that I. together with two brothers, three of us from one family. were so indicted, and that we appreciate his valuable service along that line. and will ever remember him kindly and most gratefully.
