IL is Up TO Congress.

"Most of iaymen and many lawyers
believe that the question is Whether
the railway company as a system Is
earning sufficient revenue upon the
value of the property OF the system
They believe that If the Burlington
Santa Fe, Wabash or any other ran
read system is earning such money
as will pay all charges and expenses
including taxes and interest, with fea-
sonable dividends to the stockholders
that state rates for state business
must stand. OF course no one believes
this who has given the slightest atIeh-
lion to the question. That precise
question was before and was declueu
by Justice Brewer, and affirmed pS
the supreme court in the Nebraska
case of Smyth W. Ames. The only
nuestion is as to Missouri rates, less
expenses properly charged against the
same And if this balance does not
leave sufficient to pay a reasonable re-
turn the law is invalid. And if the
railroad system Of any company IS
earning more than q reasonable re-
turn by reason of interstate rates,
which affect the people many times
more than local rates, and If such in
terstate rates are too high, Congress
either acting alone or through COM
mission must make the corrections.

THE supreme court during the
present year in the case of City of
New York vs.. Consolidated Gas Com
oany of New York decided that six
per cent was fair and right to be
given to the owners upon the true
valuation. MY opinion is that while a
gas plant is in some respects different
from a railroad, that a railroad prop
erty, properly built and properly man
aged should over and above expenses
make return Of six per cent per an
mum. And considering all the eyi-

RATE IN MISSOURI
CALLED CONFISCAIORy
Revenues of the Roads Fell on
SO That TO Obey the Law Is
too. Great a Hardship
t,r Them to
Bear.

Kansas city. Mo-, March S.--A no.
table decision in favor of the railroads
was handed down today by Judge NC
Pherson, of the United states district
court, in the two-cent fare and maxi
mum freight rate cases, involving
eighteen Missouri lines. The railroads
contended that the rates fixed by the
statutes of the state were not remun-
erative but confiscatory, and that the
enforcement of the statutes be en-
ioined. The state brought proceedings
to have them enforced.
THE question" said Judge Nc
Pherson IN his decision, lis whether
the traffic wholly within the state oil
Missouri generally referred to in the
evidence as local traffic, can be car
ried under the freight rate statute OF
1907 and the passenger fare statute OF
1907 at much profit as Will give rea-
sonable return after paying expenses
upon the investment, or whether such
traffic is carried at loss or less than
such reasonable profit. The
court has reached the conclusion that
upon this question the statutory rates
fixed by either and Doth statutes are
not remuncrative.'
In giving the reasons for such con-
clusions the decision says; THE un@
questioned and undoubted rule is thai
there is presumption both OF fact
and of law in favor of the validity OF
every legislative enactment. The rail
way companies have the burden u
removing this presumption, and show
ing that the statute clearly, as some
courts say, palpably and others say,
beyond a reasonable doubt that the
statute is invalid. In these cases the
court has recognized this rule. Tne
authorities upon this question form a
long and unbroken line, with the SIN
gle exception of the majority opinion
in the Pennsylvania case decided a
year ago. COS Att. Rep. 676) Ana
that one authority is not persuasive
"All testimony and argument bear
ing upon the question as to what con-
sideration the Legislature OF missouri
gave to these enactments, is utterly
immaterial. Much was said in argu-
ment as t. the message of Governor
Hughes, of New York two years ago
in declining to approve the tWo-cent
fare statute of that state. Governor
Hughes had the moral courage TO veto
a measure of popular favor because
as he believed the question had not
been fully considered. But the-reia-
tions of a governor to proposed legis-
lation and those of court to leglsla-
tion consummated, are entirely diff

NAVAL EXPERTS IN QUARREL
GERMAN OFFICERS DISAGREE
IN MATTERS OF POLICY.
Rumors Regarding Change of Posi-
tons by Count Bandissin. and
Admiral Fischet.
IN Correspondence Of The Star.

LONDON. September Is. 1909.
Germany. it appears, has its pendant
to the English va'quarrel which ended
in the retirement Of Lord Charles Beres-
ford. The Berliner Tageblatt publishes a
story regarding the interchange Of posi-
lions of Count Baudissin, formerly chief
Of the admiralty staff, and Admiral
Fischel. chief of the North Sea station.
The journal learns that the exchange is
due to a disagreement between the count
and Admiral Won T1rpitz, the kaiser's
chief naval adviser. That this Is so is
shown by the fact that during the last
twelve months these two men have pre-
sented reports to the kaiser independent
ly instead OF together, as was formerly
the case.
Count Baudissin is said 20 have con-
sidered that his chief naval policy-namc-
ly. the continuous maintenance of the
fee. on war fOOting-has been neglected
owing to the fact that money has been
required for the construction of Dread
noughts Against this the count Is said
to have protested frequently, but without
avail.
1t is supposed that he is disposed to
adopt the naval policy of Vice Admiral
Galster, who for some years has main
tdllcO t1dI COuISe was
to strengthen her harbor coast defenses
and construct a powerful fleet of torpedo
boats and submarines rather than to COM
pete with Great Britain in the construc
ton Of Dreadnoughts.
The exchange of the two men Is said to
show that Admiral Won Tirpitz disa greed
with Baudissn and that he succeeded in
preventing any slackening in the pace Of
Dreadnought construction. That there is
no doubt of such disagreement is said

BY RAILWAY COMMISSION.
Overcrowding Cases Are to Be Dis
cussed Wednesday.

Commissioner West, chairman OF the
District electric railway commission, said
today that Judge Mullowny's recent dis
missal of the case against street rail-
way company for overerowding would
doubtless be discussed by the commits
sion, which meets in the Westory building
Wednesday, Whether the District COM
mission will suggest to the interstate
commerce commission such regulations
as Judge Mullowny maintains are neces-
sary as a basis to future prosecutions In
such cases, or the entire matter will be
referred to the interstate commerce COM
mission, which alone can make such reg
ulations, is yet to be determined.
Commissioner West thought 1t probable
the matter will be referred to the inter-
state commerce commission for it's infor-
nation and such directions as IT might
care to give. The latter commission Is
now on it's way. to the Pacific coast.
where it will hold hearings In various
places, which may keep 1T away from
Washington until November 10. SO that
action prior to that date Ia unlikely.

REPORT PROVES FALSE.
Former Principal Simpson Not at
Selins Grove. Pa.

The report that Horton Simpson, the
former school principal, wanted in this
city in connection with the death of Miss
Abbie Coultry, was in Selins Grove, Pa,
proved to be false clue, as Maj. Syl-
vester yesterday received telegram
from w. II. Wolfe, chief of police Of
that place, that the man referred to was
not the missing principal.
Chief Wolfe, however, advised the local
authorities to communicate with the po-
lice at Northumberland, Pa, where the
man might be located The local police
are awaiting a reply from that ploce.

correspondence or Inc star.
PARIS, September 16, 1909.
AS result of exhaustive inquiries,
which have been conducted by the mill
tary authorities in conjunction with de-
tectives belonging to the criminal investi
CATION department, it is assumed that the
corporal Of the 1C6th Line Regiment who
deserted recently and carried off with him
machine gun from the Chanzy barracks
at Chalons, is now at Strassburg. Little
hope of recovering the gun is entertained.
The loss Is deplored all the more because,
although the sighting apparatus appears
| TO have been overlooked and left behind
by the thief, the theft of the breech and
barrel involves the disclosure of the Sc
cret of the improved mechanism for cool
ing the barrel According to te'egrams
/ from Chalons, the authorities are actively
engaged in tracing the traitors accom-
plices. The corporals mistress has been
arrested.
In some quarters the reported theft of
documents relating to mobilization from
the headquarters at Chafons is denied. On
the other hand, 1t is stated that the safe

are quartered in the citadel of Amiens.
mas been rlt1ed and that the latest mo-
blilzation plans. together with sum of
$500, which it contained, are missing. To
add to this extraordinary series of dis
quoting incidents news has been received
from Versailles that an electric detOnator
(exploseur) has disappeared from the
general staff officers at the Fort of Saint
Cyr. in which it was kept under lock and
key. At first it was believed that the Eek
plOseur' had. been mislaid or passed on
to some other fort, but although every
foot in the vicinity Of Paris Is being ram
sacked. no trace of it has yet been dis
covered.
In view of these thef.s. which involve
the disclosure Of important secrets o. ma
tional defense, the French press points
out to its German contemporaries that 1t
is idle to describe opinion in France as
suffering merely from a dad attack OF
spy mania AS matter of fact. although
French public opinion is profoundly ex-
ercised, the prevailing note in the COM
termination to prevent their recurrence. A
favorable impression in this sense has
been created by the comparative equa-
nimity with which officers of experience
and high standing like Gen. Leon Durand
commander-in-chief of the Chalons Army
Corps. view the unconcealed activity OF
The German spies who swarm In the cast
ern frontier districts. Frehchmen are con-
WINGED that familiarity with an ever pres
ent danger has not brought any loss of
vigilance in its train, but are strongly OF
opinion that the cooperation between the

be more effectively organized. Cases of
espionage are now being Investigated at
Chalons, Toul, Verdun, Sedan, Rheims
and Versailles.
