NOW, WOULDN'T IT MAKE YOU THINK
FRANCE IS MEDIATOR IN
 BULGARIAN SITUATION

Paris, October 5-France has essayed the role of mediator with the object of preventing war between Turkey and Bull garia, and as a result of Foreign Min ister Pichon's series of conferences to- day with the representatives of the pow CTS, including M. Iswolsl1y, the Russian foreign minister, Naoum Pasha, the Turk ish ambassador to France, the Austria Hungary, the British, the American and the Italian ambassadors, and of active exchanges which have been going on be- tween the various cabinets, it was an- nounced tonight that France, Great Brit ain, Russia and possibly Italy were pre- pared to act in unison to preserve peace and to call a conference of the signato- ries of the Berlin treaty to deal diplo- matically with the situation that has arisen between Turkey and Bulgaria, and to harmonize conflicting interests so that fresh complications may be avoided. The danger of war is believed to lie in pre- ciptate action at Constantinople. Forced by the "Young Turks party, which may fear a blow at it's prestige if it acquiesces in the loss of Bulgaria, and by the mili- tary party which wants to restore the old order of things, it is feared that Fur key. although il-prepared, both from a financial and a military standpoint may proclaim war Should this be the case the efforts of the powers will then be directed to limiting the war to Bulgaria and Turkey
 According to information received here Bulgaria would welcome war as the Bull
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-10-06

garians are convinced that their army could march straight to Constantinople before the Turkish forces could be mo- bnized. The French governments Com Inuniqie issued today says:
 ''It is certain that France Russia, Great Britain and Italy will do their utmost to maintain peace in the east, but 1t seems difficult at the present moment to judge what means will best attain this end. All depends on what will happen at Constan- tinople and events which will now rapid ly ensue might very shortly place the powers in the presence of 'fait accompli' and modify the aspect of affairs.
 ''The idea of an international confer ence charged with the duty of deciding on revision of the treaty of Berlin would seem to be put forward with a certain persistence in certain political circles. However, the disposition of Turkey in that respect must be first ascertained. If Turkey is favorably inclined to this it is believed that the powers can easily reach an agreement on the principle Of a conference the initiative for which France, Great Britain and Russia will take. But these are only hypothesis which for the present must be regarded with reserve
 The view is now held here that there has been a double move on the part Of Bulgaria and Austria Hungary, these two countries acting together, and that Ger many and Italy were advised of 1t in ad- vance. Russia also received an intimation of the plan, but M Iswolslly asserts that he was not let fully into the secret and in some respects was misled.

HEAVY ADVANCE
 IN FREIGHT RATES

Little Rock, Ark, October 5.-An ad- vance in intra-state freight rates rang ing from 20 to 166 per cent. will go into effect throughout Arkansas -Octoper 15 as the result of the recent temporary ~1- junction granted the trunk lines of the state against the enforcement of rates ordered by the Arkansas railroad com mission by Judge Vandeventer at St. Paul Minn.
 Today officials of the five trunk lines notified the Arkansas railroad commission of the new rate schedule. They urged that the raise was not confiscatory, that 1t was merely a return to reasonable rates such as other states had and which ex- isted in Arkansas before the commission made it's sweeping reductions three years ago. The railroads have done away en- tirely with the commodity rates in less than carload lots and have showed them all into classes.

SHARP QUESTIONS
 REGARDING TRUSTS

Chicago, October 5.-Addressing an open letter to Attorney General Bona parte tonight, Josephus Daniels, chair man of the publicity bureau of the democratic national committee. asserts that the attorney general, in his recent reply to the inquiry for statement showing how many trusts doing busi ness in the United States had been prosecuted by the department of justice. did not furnish the information de- sired, but instead confused the prose cutions under the sherman antitrust law with the prosecutions of railroads and individuals under other acts.
 MT. Daniels submits to the attorney general four questions as follows:
 T. How many of the 2S7 trusts, giv ing names. doing business in the United States, have been prosecuted by the present administration?
 "2 How many of these trusts. nam ing them separately, have been fined and the separate amounts?
 B. After trust has been fined, what other steps have been taken to pre- vent it's continuing its illegal prae- tices for which it was forced to pay the penalty?
 a4 How many of the officials of these 2S7 trusts have been criminally prosecuted. and how many have been convicted, and the term of imprison- ment. giving the names of each person who has been imprisoned for violating the laws?"
 hi concluding MT. Daniels declare that even where the administration las successfully consummated prosecution. the gGilty trusts have continued their illegal operations. and that the pen allies imposed are analogous to police fines that is regarded as license to continue,

cult court of appeals and obtained from Judge Don A. Pardee the Louisiana member of that court writ of superce- das, which superseded the order of Judge Speer. In other words, while Judge Speer had enjoined the charging of the com. paned of rates pending the decision of the interstate commerce commission the higher courts action had the effect of rescinding the action of the lower court because under the writ from Judge Par dee, superseding the injunction of Judge Speer, the railroads proceeded to charge the higher rates.
 It is pointed out this evening that prob- ably the most effective way of reaching the railroads would be through federal proceedings under the Sherman antitrust law because it is claimed that the ac- tion of these roads in raising the rates was very much in the nature of the kind of conspiracy of which the Sherman law takes cognzance. The contention of the opponents of the railroads Is that the latter companies have not toted fairly with the state commissions and that in- stead of waiting for the interstate com mcrce commission to act the railroads have uyed every effort at their com mand. through the instrumentality of the courts, to compel the use of the increased rates pending the commissions decision,
