President Of Pennsylvania Tells What
Was Done in Conference.
SOME CLASS RATES TOO Low

Traffic Officials on Them.
WEST WAS NOT REPRESENTED

Lines East of MississIppI River
and North of the
Ohio.

PHILADELPHIA, July i7-fn a state
ment issued today with reference TO tho
meeting of railroad presidents in New
York yesterday at which was discussed
the question of raising freight rates, Presi-
dent McCrea Of the Pennsylvania railroad.
who was present. said that the conclusion
reached was that the time is not oppor-
tune for an advance in rates in the terri
tory represented at the meeting.
Mr.. McCreas statement is in part as
follows:
1T appears that there is some misun-
derstAnding in the public mind as TO the
exact question under discussion. A general
advance in all rates has at no time been
contemplated, but there has been a general
feeling among railroad officers that class
rates, upon which the high class and mis-
cellaneous traffic is carried were. all
things considered. upon too low a basis.
In order to secure all the facts bearing
upon the question, traffic officers were
instructed some time ago TO give the mat
ter most careful study.
'The purpose of the meeting yesterday
was to receive the report of progress made
and to pass upon certain points, the de-
cision upon which was necessary to enable
the traffic officers to proceed with their
work. After full consideration and ex-
change Of views the conclusion was unani-
nous that the time was not opportune for
an advance in all class rates applicable to
the entire territory represented at the meet
ing which embraced lines east OF the Mis-
sissppi and north OF the Ohio rivers. The
traffic officers, however were requested to
further consider the advisability of an in
crease in rates in specific cases when the
present rates are particularly low in COM
parison with other rates and in view OF the
service performed"
INDIANAPOLIS, July 17.-It was stated
here today by prominent shippers that tho

FALLEN PRINCE HALF DYING
Judge Suspends Trial Of zu Eulen-
burg indefinitely.
TOO WEAK TO STAY IN coUBr
In Spite of This He BeG
Trial Continue Either 20
clare Him Innocent or
Guilty.

BERLIN. July IL The trial Of Prince
Zu Gutenberg on charges Of perjury in
connection with the court scandals Of last
year was indefinitely suspended today be-
cause the prince is in a half diving condl-
tion. He has been growing steadily weaker
during the eighteen days Of the trial. The
hearing began first with four-hour sessions
in the criminal court buildings. These
later were shortened TO three and then to
two hours a day, and the court wos trans
ferred to a room in the Charity hospital,
where the prince is confined.
The court probably would have post
poned the trial before today had It not been
for the fact that the German newspapers
insisted that no consideration be shown TO
the fallen favorite of the emperor. that an
aristocrat should not be permitted to de-
fer the verdict Of the court by what they
intimated was a pretense at illness.
The princes short experience in court
yesterday. according TO DR.. Hoffman, the
physician appointed by the court to ex-
anime him today, was followed by great
exhaustion and there was imminent danger
of thrombosis. The prosecuting attorney,
DR.. Isenbeil, thereupon moved that the
trial be indefinitely suspended.
Prince Anxious for Judgment.
The prince objected to a postponement
He raised himself with difficulty on one
elbow and said In a shaky voice: Il am
both mentally and physically quite we'll
enough to go on with this trial The sword
has swung for so long over my neck that
l wish it would either fall or be taken
away"
Princess Zu Eulenburg, in the mean
time, had privately represented TO the pre-
siding Judge that her husband was IN no
condition to undergo a further strain.
The prince broke down and sobbed on his
cot when the judges refused to continue
the TRIAL. In a weak voice he urged them to
go and put an end to his long agony
1T is true enough that l am ILL.," he
exclaimed, but what matters that when a
man contends for his innocence and his
honor?' Then raising himself up he struck
the table at the side of his cot with his
fist and exclaimed violently: "I object to
the uncertainty. The trial is now post
poned, leaving the public in doubt as to
whether l am guilty or innocent. l beg
you to be merciful. l may never live for
the continuation of the trial"

ADVANCE IN SOUTHERN RATES
Conference Now On at Louisville May
Have This Result.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, July l7.-An advnce in
freight rates into the territory OF the South
ern Freight association and OF commodity
rates into the territory of the southeastern
Mississippi Valley association will probably
be the outcome of the conference OF execu-
tive officers OF southern roads, now being
held in Louisville. Although the chief execu-
tives and their subordinates were still un-
willing today TO discuss the object of the
conferences and have given out that they
came to discuss the common use of the
New Orleans terminals, this latter has been
an insignificant feature OF the discussions.
The officials met to determine, first,
whether tho roads operating in the south
eastern Mississippi valley and the South
eastern Freight association territories
should advance rates and agree upon the
basis Of the advances.
The Southeastern Freight association gov
erns all the roads east OF the line from
Cincinnati through Chattanooga and Biz
mingham. The territory OF the South
eastern Mississippi Valley association is in
cluded between that line and the Missis-
sippi river.
When the conference was resumed today
1t was reported that an advance had been
decided upon.
