Chicago, December Hit being the intention of the complainant to sum mon officials of the Pullman company to testify as to the cost of operation of sleeping cars, the hearing begun by Interstate Commerce Commissioner Lane in St. Paul was resumed in Chi cago today The original complaint that sleeping car berths were disposed of at too high rate and requesting that the Pullman company be compelled to sell upper berths at a smaller price than the lowers was made by George s. Loftus of St. Paul. MT. Loftus was represented today by Attorney Ma hanan and the Pullman company by Attorney G. R. Fernald. William Huff, second assistant auditor of the Pull man company, gave statistics showing the number of cars owned and oper- ated by the company and the cost of administration, operation and mainten- ance. He testified that of 4550 avail able cars in the United States Canada and Mexico the company during the last fiscal year had in actual service

Hartman Wins M Suit
 Before Supreme Court
Justice Holmes Announces the Decision in Which Hartman Wins Contention That the Interstate Commerce Commis sion Has No Right to Probe Into the Private Affairs
 of a Railroad an Official of the Road

Washington, December 14.-In decid- ing today the case of Edward H. Harri- man and Otto H. Kahn vs. the interstate commerce commission, the supreme court of the United States held that the com mission is not entitled, under the in terstate commerce law to press questions relative to private transactions, even though they involve dealings in the se- curities of interstate railroads when the investigation of such questions are a part of an action that has begun upon the commissions initiative.
 The opinion of the court was announced by Justice Holmes and dealt with the refusal of Messrs. Hartman and Kahn to make reply to questions put by the commission in the course of an inquiry concerning the dealings of Mr. Harrimans as president of the Union Pacific rail- way in the stocks of other railroad com panies, many of which are competing lines.
 In the course of his opinion Justice Holmes said that the commissions in- quiries should be confined to cases in which complaint had been made. He said that privacy should be properly re- garded in proceedings begun by the com mission for its own purposes. He also said that the powers conferred in the interstate commerce laws exceed any which have ever been delegated by constitutional body of lawmakers.
 Justice Holmes words on the limita- tions on the commission's power of in- quiry were in part as follows:
 We are of the opinion that the pur- poses of the act for which the commits sion may exact evidence embrace only complaints for violation of the act, and Investigations by the commission on mat ters that might have been the subject of complaint. The main purposes of the act was to regulate the interstate bus mess of carriers and the secondary pur- pose that for which the commission was

 To President Castro

hymn as President Castro, with his wife on his arm, entered.
 The President declined to be inter viewed. saying that he was fatigued and hungry.
 Members of Castro's suit stated that the President had sent dispatch to Emperor William from Herbesthal, on the German frontier, stating that he had come to Germany fo- medical treatment and ex- pressing profound homage to his majesty. According 10 the same authority, when he learned the news of the capture of the Alx by the cruiser Gelderland he~was not greatly affected, merely remarking that there was no such vessel in the Ven ezuelan service.
 While at Cologne, the President and his party visited the cathedral and other places of inteiest, and enjoyed an auto rlobile trip along the shore of the Rhine. He displayed the greatest interest in the industrial region of Westphalia, which he traversel by train, continually asking questions. He expressed pleasure at the arrangemonis made by the railroad of- ficials at Cologne, where the station plat form was shut off so as to prevent crush and the imperial waiting rooms we're placed at his disposal.
 Dinner was served in private dining room of the hotel, where the entire first floor, known as the princess apart- ments, is occupied by President Castro and his party. The menu cards were dec orated with the German and Venezuelan flags and on the table were great quanti- ties of flowers. Castro was in capital spirits and chatted gaily with his suite during the dinner, repeatedly declaring that he was exceedingly well impressed with Germany.
 A photographer who came to take hashlight picture, attempted to interview the President, but Castro had very little to say beyond: T am not tired at all l made very pleasant trip and am greatly leased to be in Germany"
 Castro will visit pr. Israel tomorrow, when the question of an operation VIII be decided upon.

PULLMAN COMPANY IS NOT
 MAKING VERY MUCH MONEY

he said, was s1906. Maintenance and repairs cost s2426 per car. MT. Hough asserted that during the last fiscal year the Pullman company suffered a loss of S332,000 from the disuse of sleep ing cars whose condition was beyond repairs To meet future losses and be prepared for emergencies, the company, he said made an appropriation of SS,- o00 900, which will be provided annual ly. Our company is dependent for it's existence on the railroads" said MT. Hough, "and any road may at any time withdraw and leave us with cars no longer needed on our hands"
 Do you mean to tell us,' asked At torney Mahanan, that your company is precarious and fears the withdrawal of the railroads?'
 q certainly do,' declared the wit ness, who added that while the com pany had contracts with the railroads covering periods of at least 20 years, most of the contracts had clause granting the railroads privilege to withdraw on a six months notice. The Pennsylvania company's contract had such a clause he said. Mir. Hough in- formed the court that the average life of a car is 20 years and the company introduced 300 cars into service as new every year.

PLANS TO IMPROVE
 MUSCLE SHOALS

Washington. December 14.-(special)- The rivers and harbors board of review heard Representative Richardson, Senator Bankhead and Messrs. Baker and Wash burn for several hours today on the prac- ticability of the improvement of the Tennessee river at Muscle Shoals, includ- ing the development of water power and the amount the government should pay.
 In Representative Richardsons opinion the plan submitted by the Rossell board, which attracts most attention and which is most likely to receive favorable con- sideration is that the government shall build the three dams at its own expense, as well as the locks and the Muscle com pany construct it's electric plant at its own expense with it's wires and trans- mitters and for the government to lease or rent the privileges of water power to the company for a given number of years at a rate of interest that would annually grow as the utilization of power increased.

established was to enforce the regula- tions enacted. In other words, the power to require testimony is limited as it usually is in English-speaking countries, at least to the only cases where the sacrifice of privacy is ecessary-those where the investigations concern a specific breach of the law"
 In a dissenting opinion eoncurred in by Justices Harlan and McKenna, Jus tice Day declared the effect of the opin- ion of the majority of the court would be to materially narrow the scope of the interstate commerce law. These three jus- tices took the position that the ques- tions of the commission, so far as they were sustained by the United States cir cult court for the southern district of New York, were entirely proper under the law, and should have. been answered by Hartman and Kahn.
 Justice Harlan went even further and held that all of the commissions ques- tions should have received responses.
 Justice Moody did not participate in the case

Commission Not Surprised.

Washington. December 14-No surprise was expressed by the interstate com nerce commission at the decision. It is not felt by the commission that the de- cision will affect seriously its powers of railroad regulation. The question passed upon by the supreme court is considered by the commission to be large 1y academic, inasmuch as the questions propounded to MT. Hartman. and to MT. Kahn did not affect materially the de- termination of the so-called Hartman cases'
 Chairman Knapp, of the commission. said he did not care to be quoted con- corning the decision handed down by the supreme court, as he had not examined it. but he was inclined to the opinion that it would not detract in any material way from the powers of tb>~-vommission in the making of future Investigations regarding railway transactions. This opin- ion was concurred in by other members of the commission, some of whom had anticipated the decision of the supreme court.

Berlin, December 14.-President Cas- tro of Venezuela and the members of his party arrived here this evening. The train reached the geological gar den station on the edge of the city somewhat later than expected but was awaited by a dense crowd of people who had gathered. Precautions had been taken to prevent the public from crowding the platforms and as the train steamed into the depot the Pres ident was greeted with shouts, Long live Castror
 There was general lifting of hats and much cheering. The Venezuelan charge q affaires at Berlin. Senor Ve- lozgoiticca, Senor Nachod, the consul at Berlin and other prominent Vene- zuelans had the greatest difficulty in making their way to the entrance of the car where Castro was standing.
 The President, although having the appearance of sick man, was full of energy. He wore a gray soft hat and black overcoat. As soon as the train came to standstill he stepped out and cordially embraced Senors Ve- log and Nachod. The consul read a short address of welcome and the Pres ident apparently was about to reply when another train dashed in at the opposite platform with such deaf ening noise that his effort to speak was in vain. Further cheering broke out as the Presidents wife and the 15 other members of his party descended the salon steps.
 They then left the station and found drawn up outside several motor cars which were elaborately decorated with Venezuelan flags.
 In these they drove to the Hotel Esplanade about 15 minutes distant, followed by a number of private motor cars and cabs containing newspaper men and others. The corridor of the hotel was crowded when they arrived and a band struck up the Venezuelan

Washington, December H.-(Special.)- With only one dissenting vote, that of Senator Bacon of Georgia, the Senate iudiciary committee today reported fav- orably the nomination of Oscar K. Huno- ley for the northern Alabama federal judgeship. After the committee meeting Senator Foraker of Ohio, stated that he would use no efforts to oppose the confirmation of Hundley.
