RAILROADS ARE FIGHT
ING COMMISSION
WILL APPEAL TO COURTS
FROM SPOKANE RATE DE
cISIoN IF NOT JUST.

CHICAGO, April 6.-The brush
between the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the railroads over
the western rate situation was widen
ed by two actions according to infor-
nation received here today. The Har-
riman lines petitioned the commission
to be relieved from the operation Of
the order in the Spokane rate case
and the executive officials Of western
lines decided to contest the commits
sions order in the Denver rate case.
1t is expected by the railroads that
the petition in the Spokane rate case
will be denied by the commission. In
that event an appeal will be taken to
the courts. Officials of the Hartman
lines refused to explain the real cause
of the petition, but it is understood
that the railroads are but little inter-
ested in the Chicago-Spokane busi-
ness.

RATE CLASSIFICATION

NEW YORK. April 6.-The most
radical revolution in rate making
methods in the history of American
railroads may result from the
meeting Of the classification committe
which assembled in this city today to
consider the advisability Of classify
ing commodities for shipment accord
ing to their value, Consideration oi
the subject by the committee is due 20
a suggestion Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission in decision given
last December by Commissioner
Prouty,
Regarding the proposed change, the
decision Of the committee said;
while we decline to establish rat
ing upon the basis Of value, it must
not be understood that we have reach
ed final decision that such a princi.
pie might not with propiety be intro
duced into the classification. There
is much to commend the idea. If the
carriers could suggest workable
plan it would meet with the approval
of the commission"
The classification committee at is
meeting today took up for considera-
tion the proposed change. The sub
ject will also be taken up by the uni
form classification committee which
was appointed by the railroads more
than year ago.

New York. March 26-Fiction Is stranger than truth in "An English mans Home' and "The Return Of Eve" Two more singular plays can never have been introduced to New York in a single week. The one with an Eve figuring in an Eden with brother for an Adam Is surprise; but the other. with an English home- stead overrun by German invading soldiers. does not astonish us as 1t did Londoners, because we have read des- criptions of its purport. and accounts of its tremendous effect on military politics in Great Britain.
 Yet I may be permitted to tell you although you may know 1t already. that "An Englishman's Home" was written by British army officer to Rlorify his country's professional sol diery and to ridicule Its amateur mill itia. As the author is Guy Du Mau- rier. heir to the caustic and satiric humor of George Du Maurier, the pro- fessionai army gets such a fond pat ting on its back as has made it throw out its chest and strut, while the anna teur militia is spanked so very hard as to leave 1t limp, yet unable to sit down without pain.
