RAISE RATES, LOWER WAGES
Railroads in Their Reply Declare One
or the other Must he Done.

| Washington. Aug. 23.-Railroad
companies operating in the southeast
! ern territory yesterday filed their ans
wer before the Interstate Commerce
| Commission to complaints which have
been brought against the advance In
rates on grain and grain products
from Ohio river crossings to the
southeast.
They also filed a motion and de-
murrer to strike out of the complaints
| allegations that tho Southeastern
Freight association and similar assoc
Citations arc combinations in restraint
of trade and in violation of the Sher-
man antitrust law.
! The grounds for this motion are:
First. that the Interstate Commerce
Commission has frequently ruled that
it has no Jurisdiction to administer the
sherman antitrust law. that law be-
inz solely a matter for the action of
! the courts; second. that the Intertate
Commerce Commission has ruled that
a ratio may be reasonably low or In
decd. unrcasonably low. even though
| it be the result of an Illegal comhina-
| ton.
This ruling. It is stated, has been
made in several cases. ana notably in
that of the China and Japan trading
company. involving rates on cotton
niece goods from this country to
| China and Japan. In that case 1t Is
charged that tho ocean steamship
lines opcrating through the Suez ca
nal. and known as the Suez route
combined with western railways to
make a rate from this country to the
| Orient in competition with the steam
shin lines and railways, this rate be
ing so low that 1t was questionable
whether or not ii paid the cost OF
tropsnortation over the 10000 miles
| involved.
ON this ground the railway companies
IN tbofr answer take the position that

trade but in fact promote it and are
essential 10 the orderly conduct of trade
and commerce.

members of the board lauded DR..

SCANDAL USED IN
BISHOPRIC FIGHT
Attacks on Candidates at Meth
odist Episcopal General Con-
ference Prove Vague

BALTIMORE, May 24.-The Methodist
Episcopal general conference now cur
rent will doubtless be long remembered
for the number and peculiar character
of the attacks that have been made
upon candidates for the bishoprics
Thus far four men have suffered more
or less by reason of the circulation
among the delegates of stories, some
OF them very vague and not all of
them told with their proper and just
explanations.
Tne most pronounced sufferer has
been Rev. DR.. Charles L. Goodell of
Calvary church, New York. A picayune
story that falsely represented DR.. Will
liam A. Quayle as having in his youth
acted the part of a jilt apparently hurt
him for 9. time, but the reaction brought
by the statement of the truth has been
markedly TO his advantage. A similar
result is probable in the case of Rev.
DR.. Joseph Hingeley, secretary of the
conference, against whom a resident of
the doctors home city, Minneapolis,
attempted to influence delegates-and
succeeded for a time, by means of tele-
grams declaring that Minneapolis was
astonished at the prominence given DR..
Hin ~eley in the balloting. A fourth
candidate who has been the victim of a
story partly told. which if told in full
could not possibly have Influenced the
vote of any sane man against him, is

one will venture to predict when this
portion of the work of the conference
will be completed.
resolution to adjourn sine die one
week from tomorrow night leaves but
eight working days in which to finish
a vast amount of work. There are
missionary bishops and large number
of general conference officials, editors.
agents, general secretaries, etc. to be
elected. and few of the committees
have been able to obtain attention by
the conference upon reports of work
they have done. More than 1000
memorials and resolutions have been
referred TO these committees.
Bishops and prominent delegates to
the conference today again occupied
the pulpits of nearly all the Protestant
churches in Baltimore and the con-
tiguous country, and each was listened
to by large congregation.
