However. the Baltimore & Ohio does
not purpose to await the result of the

that system is to put the law into effect
immediately in order that both officials

A few weeks ago it was announced in
a tentative way that several important
systems, notably the New York Central
lines, had declined to furnish reports
to the commission in accordance with
the law and in conformity with the
regulations and forms prescribed by the
commission. 1t was held by the coun-
sci for the New York Central lines, for
instance, that that provision of the law
was unconstitutional and it was UNDER

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 16-Baron
Won Arenthals' reiteration of the deter
mination of Austria to build railroad
through Novi Bazar as a connecting
link for the Austrian line through Bos-
mia with the Turkish line to Salonika,
and the announcement by the German
foreign office of it's financial support
to this plan, have left no illusions here
regarding the fate of the agreement.
looking to the joint action in the Bal
kans negotiated by Emperor Nicholas
and Emperor Francis Joseph at Muerz-
steg in the autumn OF 1903, which was
the groundwork of the subsequent
program of reform in Macedonia.
The attitude of the Russian foreign
office, as learned through an inspired
press, is that the agreement, which Is
regarded as already violated in spirit
by the Austrian foreign minister's ef-
forts to extend and consolidate the Aus
trian sphere of influence by private
bargain with the sultan for the con-
struction of the railroad, should be
abrogated Russia is now left free
hand to work out her own policy in the
near east.
Negotiations are still being conduct
ed to the end of inducing Austria to
withdraw her railroad scheme, but no
hope of their success is held out on
either the Austrian or the Russian side.'
The principal efforts at present are
being devoted to arranging a new
grouping Of the powers, 1t being
thought here that Russia and Great
Britain might enter into an agreement
for Joint action in Macedonia and that
these two powers would be supported
by France and perhaps Italy.
Outlook Is Dark
The detection of such an important
power as Austria, which, owing to her
geographical position, shared with
Russia the leading role in the efforts
to settle the Macedonian problem, rem
ders the outlook dark
Since the seriousness of the Russian
opposition to Austria's plans has be-
come evident, hints have been thrown
out from Vienna that Russia and Italy
as the powers most directly interested,
would be allowed in the way of COM
pensation to construct railroad lines.
Italy one through Albania and Russia
a line from the Danube to the Adriatic
sea. Both powers. however, decline 10
accept this proposal.
The Russian ambassador to Turkey,
NJ. Zinovioff, at a lengthy audience
with the sultan on Friday, submitted
Russia's objections to the construction
of the proposed railroad, which, it Is
confidently expected here, will result
in the postponement of the Austrian
project.
The impression that Austria is act
ing with the full cognizance of support
of Germany, which has been con-
firmed by formal statements given out
by German government officials, has
resulted i'm an outburst of anger
against that country affecting all cir
cles of the Russian press and public.
This antagonsm is felt with especial
force in the army. where 1t is felt that
Teutonic influences. are back of Turk
ish activity on the Persian-R Russian
frontier which has assumed menac-
ing phase.

eliminated Between
Shippers

Special to The Herald.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 16.-Assis-
tant Attorney General Raymond Ben
jamin left here tonight for Los Angeles
to conduct the investigation OF the state
board of railroad commissioners in that
city into alleged illegal rebating and
determinations by the Santa Fe and
the Salt Lake railroad companies.
Commissioners Irwin, Summerland
and Loveland left last night The in
vestigation will be purely a probe and
not hearing. The books of the rail-
road corporations Will be subpoenaed
and the commissioners will go over
them for evidence to be used at the
hearing which will be held in this city
beginning March s.
Before leaving Benjamin said that
the investigation would take about a
week and would be along the lines fol-
lowed when he recently uncovered proof
of 1000 cases of rebating from the books
of the Hartman lines.
Peter +. Dunno, general counsel of
the Southern Pacific company, today
outlined to Herald representative the
defense that will be made by the Har-
riman lines. Dunno said that while
the company would admit making re-
fund payments to shippers it would
show that no discrimination had been
practiced.
VIII Prosecute S. p. Officials
Acting on the recommendation of
Interstate Commerce Commissioner
Franklin X. Lane that the Southern
Pacific company be prosecuted for re-
batting by the United States ATTORNEYS
In each district in which the offenses
were committed, proceedings will be
brought within month against the
Hartman line in San Francisco.
Assistant United States District At
torney Alfred Black said today that as
soon as instructions came from Attor-
ney General Bonaparte federal prose-
cution will begin.
THE proceedings will be similar TO
those before Judge Lands in Chicago
when the. Standard Oil company was
found guilty of accepting rebates" said
Black.
The judge will have the power to
set the penalty, which will be a fine.

HOPE OF ELECTING SENATOR
APPEARS SLIGHT
Beckham's Adherents Stand Firm for
Him and There Are No Defec-
tions from Their
Ranks
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
FRANKFORT, KY, Feb. 16.-The
Kentucky general assembly has ball
loted for exactly a month in an effort
to elect a United States senator to
succeed James B. McCreary and today
is apparently no nearer an election
than it was on the day the first ball
lot was taken.
In the first vote former Governor
Beckham. who had been nominated at
the Democratic primaries, received
sixty votes, former Governor Bradley,
Republican caucus nominee, sixty
four votes, while seven Democratic
votes were scattered and one Repub-
lican absent through illness.
The relative standing of the two
candidates is practically the same as
when the voting began.
During the four weeks intervening,
however, the limit of politics has been
played by both Democrats and Repubr
licans in the effort to secure an adj
vantage In the race and break the
deadlock. The principal vehicle for
charges and counter charges has been

county unit lineal option prohibition

Accuse Democrats
The Republicans have charged that
the Beckham Democrats have used
this bill as a legislative football, seek
ing first to deal with the recalcitrant
Democrats by holding up the bill
and. failing in this, to hang it over
their heads as a punishment for their
failure to support the Democratic
nominee On the other hand, the pro-
hibition Democrats assert that the Re-
publicans have violated the emphatic
declarations of their last state plat
form by voting with the so-called
liquor Democrats to delay the bill.
The constant effort of the Democrats
who are opposing Beckham has been
to present the name OF some Demo-
crat who might prove powerful enough
to induce some of the Beckham men to
desert him. Senator McCreary. Henry
Watterson, former Senator Blackburn.
Col j. r. Allen and State Senator
Wheeler Campbell are among those
frequently supported, but the Beck
ham Democrats have remained inn
movable and declare that if Beckham
cannot win. no other Democrat shall.
The Republicans are supporting
Bradley as a unit. hopeful that they
may finally secure enough votes from
anti ABeckham Democrats to elect him.
While the senatorial struggle is at
the boiling point, legislation is at
standstill.
