voted against Sunday baseball two
years ago and ministers and others
who have been lobbying against the

flop, the majority committee report
will be for the passage Of the Sunday

Danger for Measure.
Majority reports are not always
concurred in by the senate. but in most
instances on important measures they
are, and it is expected that a majority

in either killing or passing it.

in the spoils system in any measure

from being placed at the disposal OF
Senators and Representatives. He
wasn't able to prevent original pass.

the two-thirds majority necessary to
pass it over the Presidents veto can,
not be secured.
House Expected Veto.
1t was known for some time before
the President sent in his message
that the census bill would be vetoed.
but advocates Of the measure felt
very confident of being able to make
the measure law without the Presi-

President to secure a twO-thirds vote
in that body. In the House it was ex

idly to override the. President and
that there were enough Republicans
who needed the patronage to make ur
the two-thirds. But now it develops
that the Democrats are not a unit in
demanding non-competitive census ap

IMPORTANT WAS
DECISION MADE
Today the Indiana Railroad
Commission Rules Against
Big Railroads.
IT FINDS DISCRIMINATION.
REDUCTION IN FREIGHT RATES
BY AFFECTED ROADS is THE
ORDER PROMULGATED BY THE
BODY.

indianapolis. Feb. s.-The Indiana
railroad commission handed down. to-
day, one of the most important decis-
ions it has yet made. 1t decides that
the Lake Shore. the Vandalia and the
Southern Indiana railroads are dis
eliminating against South Bend in the
matter of freight rates on coal from
the Indiana fields. The same ruling
applies also to Mishawaka, which filed
a similar petition with the commits
sion for relief from the coal rates of
the roads, The commission orders
the freight rate to South Bend reduced
from 80 and IS cents to 80 and IS
cents. and the rate to MishaWaka re-
duced from $1.15 and $3.50 to IS and
95 cents.
No Local Application.
But the decision applies to practical
ly of northern and central Indiana. 1t
was shown that in 1900 board of ar
bitration composed of traffic man.
ayers of disinterested railroads met at
Danville, ILL.,. and fixed a rate of 81
cents ton from Danvi!le to Chicago.
and all relative rates since then have
had this Danville-Chicago rate as a
basis. On this basis these roads fix
ed their rate for hauling coal from the
Greene county field to South Bend.
The commission found that the Van
dalia, after reaching Logansport, car
ries coal to Chicago, distance of 1872
Lmiles, for a lower rate than it charges
for carrying it to South Bend. dis
Itance of Sc miles. The railroads said
| they were obliged to do this in order
to not disturb the coal rate to other
points as far east as Buffalo for ship
ments from the Indiana field over the
same roads that carry coal to South
Bend.
Not Good Reason.
The commission says this is not a
good reason for discrimination against
South Bend and Mishawaka.
| The question involved in this case
| applies 4 to every point in northern
and central Indiana to which coal is
| shipped from the Indiana fields on a
rate based on the Danville- Chicago
rate. 1t would be especially appli-
cable to the manufacturing cities of
the northwestern part of the state in
case they should find they were being
