HEPBURN LAW OF GREAT
VALUE TO RAILROADS

Chicago. Feb. 1.-"From a helpless
condition of rebates and preferential
rates the Hepburn law has released
the railroads, and its value can hardly
be overestimated, both to the railroads
and to the great majority OF the pub
lie which did not participate in nor
profit by such practises."
This is the keynote TO the new doe
trine of railroad acquiescenoe to gov
ernmental supervision of rates. az adj
vanced yesterday by w. C. Brown,
senior vice president Of the New York
Central lines, when asked to reply to
the philippe launched against the
railroads by Senator Francis G.. New
lands of Nevada, at the annual ban
quet of the Traffic club OF Chicago.
Senator Newlands insisted that the
railroads are in state OF rebellion
against regulation and supervision,
and had refused to recognize that they
are the servants and not the masters OF
the people.
Declaring that this is not the fact,
Mr.. Brown deplored the tendency to
war OF words in high places, insist
Ing that the country at present ~ a
very sick patient and is greatly in need
OF the rest cure.
THE principle OF the control and
regulation of railroads by the natlon
and the several states has been nccept-
ed In good faith by the railroads, y
said Mr.. Brown, land they have emf
cred In good faith upon the task of ad-
justing their operations to the changed
conditions resultant upon laws re-
Gently enacted. The railroads have
felt and still feel that In the cOnGId-
GRAFTON of legislation so vital to IN ;ir
Interests, they should be given faiG
and impartial hearing and should have
the same right to appeal 10 the courts
TO prevent injury or TO secure redress
of injustice as is accorded other citi-
zens and other interests"

A Danish-French leprosy expedition
Is going to the West Indies to study
the causes Of leprosy. Prof. Ehlers
will head tho expedition. This au-
thority believes to have found that
bed parasites, heas and lice, have
great influence upon the disease. The
Paris Pasteur institute is to defray
part of the expenses. The expedition
will start out in February.
The establishment of a line Of rail-
way car ferries between Sweden and
Germany has almost compelled the
Danish government to improve the
travelling facilities thru Denmark. One
improvement will no doubt be a rail-
road bridge from Sjalland to Falster.
The distance is about two and half
English miles, and the bridge will
cost over 100000. Masredsund, the
water which it crosses, is navigable,
and a huge drawbridge must be built
across the greatest depth of the chan
mel.
