RAILROADS WIN.

Richmond, Va, March 16.-An opin-
ion was handed down by the Corpora
ton Commission this morning in
which the Norfolk and Western, Ches-
apeake and Ohio, Atlantic Coast Line,
Southern and Seaboard railroads are
given a maximum passenger rate of
two and q half cents fiat without any
reference to thousand-mile tickets.
The order in the case fixing a time
for the operation of the rates has not
been entered. The opinion was writ
ten by Judge Prentis, the chairman
and is concurred in by Commissioner
Willard.
Judge Rhea, a member of the com
mission, enters vigorous dissent
holding that it has not been shown
that the two-cent rate is unjust ol
unfair and that certainly no increast
should be allowed by the commission
until the loads give some assurance
that mileage books are to be Offered

UNCLE JOE CANNON
HAS PARES|S

Washington, D. c., March 16.-|
Speaker Cannon and Champ Clark, the
minority leader of the House, snapped
tart remarks about each other at the
White House today. The Speaker
called upon the President early in the
morning and when he was leaving the
executive offices made this answer to
question as to the fight in the House
yesterday:
''The amendments to the rules have
greatly improved them. All this stuff
about the Speaker being czar is the
purest tommyrot. There has never
been a time when the majority could
not control the House. What they
wanted to do was to make a committee
of fifteen cEars, dominated by Champ
Clark and LaFollette. That is also
tommyrot. LaFollette is a fake
When Representative Champ Clark
called on President Taft later in the
morning and was told what the Speak
er said, he answered briefly:
"Uncle Joe has paresis." Mr.. Clarl
; would not comment further except t.
say that the amendments to the rule
adopted yesterday afternoon amour
to very little.
AS analyzed by parliamentarians

t four important changes:

TAFT ON THE
TARIFF QUESTION

Washington, D. c., March 16.-Pres- |
ident TAFT sent the following message
to Congress today:
ITO the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives:
81 have convened the Congress In
this extra session in order to enable 1t
to give Immediate consideration to the
revision of the Dingley tariff act. Con-
ditions affecting production, manufac-
ture and business generally have SO
changed in the last twelve years as to
require readjustment and revision OF
the import duties imposed by that act.
More than this, the present tariff act,
with the ether sources of government
revenue, does not furnish income
enough to pay the authorized expendi-
lures. By July 1 next the excess OF
expenses over receipts for the current
| fiscal year will equal $1OO,OO0,OOO.
'"The successful party in the late
election is pledged to a revision OF the
| tariff. Tue country, and the business
community especially, expect it. The
| prospect OF a change in the rates OF
sion or halt in business because of the
uncertainty as to the changes to be
made and their effect. It is, therefore
of the highest Importance that the new
bill should be agreed upon and passed
with as much speed as possible con
sistent with it's due and thorough con
sideration. For these reasons, hav
l deemed the present to be an extraor
5 binary occasion, within the meaning
l of the constitution, justifying and re
J quiring the calling of an extra ses
;. sion.
i I'm my inaugural address, I state
in a summary way the principles upo
= which, in my judgment, the revision {
: the tariff should proceed, and indica1
ed at least one new source of revenu
that might be properly resorted to
order to avoid future deficit. 1t
l. not necessary for me to repeat what
then said.
;e Il venture to suggest that the Wit
t, business interests of the country r
t. quire that the attention Of the Co
IN gress in this session be chiefly d
C. voted to the consideration of the ne
r. tariff bill, and that the less time Civ
to other subjects Of legislation in th
session, the better for the country

of pleasure.

In her voice was a vehement. motherls

For some unknown reason Caleb felt
happier than he had for days. He was
ashamed of the feeling, but strong was
