N. P. WINS FIGHT
IN RATE DISPUTE
DECISION OF INTERSTATE COM
MISSION REVERSED
Hill Lines viii Not Enter Agreement
with Hartman Roads, Under
Supreme Court
Ruling

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE
Northern Pacific Railway company to-
day won its fight in the so-called Port
land gateway case before the supreme
court of the United States.
This controversy was over the at
tempt of the interstate commerce COM
mission to require the Northern Pacinc
to Join with other railroads in estab-
fishing a through passenger route and
ioint rates from the east to Puget
sound territory via Portlr nd, Ore.
An investigation showed the North
ern Pacific declined to enter into a
ioint rate agreement with the Union
Pacific and other Hartman roads for
passengers from the east to Tacoma
and similar points via Portland, as
serting that it already provided a sat
isfactory and reasonable route from
the east to Tacoma territory via Bill
ings, Mont.
The commission Lnally ordered the
making of Joint rates via Portland,
holding that the northern route might
not always be satisfactory and rea-
sonabie" one.
Chairman Knapp dissented from this
conclusion and the matter was taken
TO the courts and the United States
district court of Minnesota held that
the commission exceeded its authority
in issuing the order. An appeal was
taken to the supreme court.
Justice Holmes, in announcing to-
days decision, supported Chairman
Knapp's contention that the Billings
route was satisfactory and rea-
sonahle"

DOG MUZZLE IS
NEW CANINE FAD
NOT ENOUGH FOR ALL THE
Kl0ODLES IN TOWN
Humane Animal Inspector Says It viii
Be impossible for Every
Owner to Comply
with Law

Dog muzzles of all kinds were in
evidence in Broadway and in the sub
urban thoroughfares yesterday.
1t was barked gently in inner circles
yesterday that there is something be-
hind this muzzle madness. little
fox terrier howled that somebody
started it with a purpose. The con-
duct of the dog family in general has
not been the best for several months,
and some old dog, whose long life has
taught him that things are not what
they seem, aroused the suspicion
among his friends that the muZzle
craze is connected in some way with
the recent misdemeanors Of the canine
clan. Muzzles pinch. Up-to-date dogs
would not mind the pinching If fash
ion demanded 1t, but no dog wants to
be pinched as punishment.
There will be a muzzle meeting some
time this week. All little dogs and
big are expected to be present. The
situation will be analyzed, and If the
muzzle is found to be a device of tor
ture or restraint instead of thing of
beauty a protest will be registered
with the authorities and letters will
be written to the "Voice of the Null
titude'' columns of the daily papers.
A noticeable decrease in the number
was the only effect of the ordinance
requiring CANNES to be muzzled. The
ordinance went into effect yesterday
morning on its publication in the Off
cial paper and f. G.. Haley, humane
animal inspector, went the rounds of
the city to determine what effect the
ordinance was having.
''It will probably be impossible to
provide muzzles for all the dogs in
the city at once," said Mr.. Haley. II
do not suppose there are more than
1900 or 1900 muzzles in the entire city,
while there are $4,000 or $4,000 dogs"
The ordinance gives the humane off,
GERS and the police officers the author
ity to shoot or take to the city pound
any dogs running at large unmuzzled.
Kills Dog
Persons living in the neighborhood of
a corral at 2200 East Seventh street be-
came alarmed at the sight of a dog
frothing at the mouth and wandering
about the streets in an aimless man
ner, and telephoned to the central po-
lice station yesterday that a vicious
mad dog was running amuck. Motor
cycle Patrolman GardLer was sent to
investigate. He found the dog In the
corral. DR.. H. L. Whittlesey, after
examining the animal, pronounced the
case similar to rabies and the officer
killed the dog.
Signs of rabies have been found
among the CANNES at San Gabriel. N.
A. Strain, road foreman of thta place,
reported to the board of supervisors
yesterday that he had killed dog near
his home that had exhibited signs of
the dread disease. He said he had
heard of several cases of the same
kind near San Gabriel.

SOCIETY WOMEN
TURN LOBBYISTS
WILL ARGUE FOR SUFFRAGE
AT ALBANY
Mrs. Belmont and Mrs. Mackay in
interests of Cause Put Aside
Differences Over Status
of w. 3. Hunter

ALBANY, N. Y, March This will
be suffrage week here. Apart from the
Allds-C Conger bribery investigation, the
hearing before the New York legisla-
ture committees of the proposed con-
stitutional amendment giving women
the right to vote, promises to be the
event of the week in legislative circles.
The Equal Franchise society, of
which Mrs. Clarence H. Mackay is
president; the New York State Wom-
an Suffrage association, in which
Mrs. o. H. p. Belmont is an active par
ticipant, and the New York State As
sociation Opposed to Woman Suf-
frage, headed by Mrs. Frances NJ
Scott, are preparing to present to the
committees their most potent and con-
vincing arguments why women should
or should not be permitted to cast
their ballots in New York state.
The hearing Is scheduled to take
place on Wednesday afternoon. A spe-
cial train has been engaged by the
suffragists to bring a large delegation
from New York, and others from va
rious sections of the state will attend.
Apparently the differences which ex-
isted between Mrs. Belmont and Mrs.
Mackay have been amicably settled,
for the leaders of the different factions
will be at Albany to work for the
cause Of suffrage. Neither is favorable
to statement of her position, but
each AYERS that personal matters
should be set aside while the cause"
is an issue.
The breach between Mrs. Belmont
and Mrs. Mackay occurred when the
latter, leading spirit in the Equal
Franchise society, objected to the en-
ployment by Mrs. Belmont of Wallace
b. Hunter to work at Albany in the
interests of woman suffrage. The
Mackay followers called Mr.. Hunter a
lobbyist with emphatic disapproval,
while Mrs. Belmont and the members
of the State Woman's Suffrage associa-
tion members declared he was gen.
tleman of high integrity.
The discussion over Lobbying" was
carried on for some time, but Mr..
Hunter continued his work, called in
fluence and convincing ability by the
Belmont faction. and political jobbery
by the Mackay bunch-and has done
much good among the legislators. The
results of Wednesdays hearing will de-
eide which of the two society suffra-
gettes was right in her contentious.

years old, until recently employed in
a department store OF this CITY, tonight
coyly claimed Philander C. Knox, jr,
the 20-year-old son of the secretary of
state, as her husband.
I'VE were married in Burlington.
VT, Sunday evening at o'clock by a
minister" she confessed tonight.
The first revelation of the romance
proved rather disconcerting to young
Knox. News of his efforts to obtain
a marriage license preceded his return
early today after a three days alb
sence. Refusing to tell Principal
French of the Morris Heights school,
where he was a pupil, whether he
had been married, he was at first con-
fined to his room and later expelled
from the school.
At noon he had luncheon at hotel
here, but later disappeared.

Providence today in company with
young Knox. Gillen and the young
woman went Immediately to the

on which the parsonage was situated.
She refused to recount any details Of
her romance or of the wedding trip.
Young Knox did not appear at the
house of his bride today. When the
young woman made her statement to-
night the only person visible besides
her mother was Gillen, who has been
learning the wooden manufacturing
business at Olneyville. He also re-
fused to tell OF the trip
Secretary Knox Is at Atlanta, Ga.
Thursday communication from his
private secretary was received at the
school requesting that the son be al
lowed to go to Hartford, Conn.,, for a
visit. The request was granted by the
principal. News dispatches received
last night from Montreal and Platts-
vile, N. Y, told of the vain attempts
of Knox and Miss Boiler to get mar
ried. Miss Boiler is described as 21
years of age, a year older than Knox.
The Federal express from Washing
ton tonight carried Principal French
and the bride and bridegroom. Mr..
French. WHO had had a. long distance
telephone talk with Secretary Knox,
thought the young man had gone to
Washington on an earlier train, and
was indignant when he heard the
woman in the case" was aboard. He
said he would have the police at West

At Westerly Chief Cornelius Brans-
field wanted to know the trouble, but
was met by smiling conductor, who
told the officer that young Knox had
boarded the train in Boston and had
assured him that the secretary of state
had expressed approval OF the mar
riage.
The young people we're speeding to
Washington to receive the parental
blessing, he said, so the police chief
swung off the train, expressing the
hope that the couple would "live hap

KILLS EIGHT OR TEN
Seventeen More Injured In a Maize
Products Plant Blaze That
Occurred at Roby,
indiana

CHICAGO, March From eight to
ten persons were reported killed. and
seventeen were injured. many of them
probably fatally, in a terrific explosion
at the works Of the american Maize
Products company at Roby, Ind, to-
night.
The explosion occurred in a detached
building of the plant and was preceded
by a fire that soon enveloped a large
three-story warehouse.
At midnight the fire was so intense
il was impossible to enter the place
to determine the number of dead. 1t
was known twenty-ninc worlSmen were
in the building and seventeen were
rescued injured. OF the twelve unac-
counted for, some may have escaped
unhurt.
Roby is just across the Illinois
boundary line, not far from South Chi
cago. The company's plant covers sew
eral acres and employs 275 men,
The fire broke out suddenly after a
force of men had prepared a kiln filed
with starch. The starch a moment
later blew up like gunpowder. So great
was the force that some of the injured
were hurled through windows and
doors, and in that way escaped death
in the flames.

.PEARYS PROOFS
NOT SUBMITTED
Representatives Hobson and Moore
Favor Rewarding Commander
Without Further lnVestiga-
ton; Meet Opposition
tAssociated Pressl

WASHINGTON, March Com
mander Robert e. Peary declined to
submit to congress the proofs of his
discovery of the north pole. He sent
to the subcommittee of the house COM
mittee on naval affairs the following
statement:
"Commander Peary and his friends
saw contracts signed months ago with
his publishers render it impossible to
make his records and scientific data
public now. 1t would not only subject
Peary to heavy damageS-a loss which
he cannot meet, having just been eX-
tricated from debt incurred in connec-
ton with his various eXpeditions-but
it would be breaking faith with his
publishers which he is unwilling to
do under any circumstances.
After hearing statements by Rep
resentative Hobson of Alabama and
Moore of Pennsylvania, urging con-
gressonal reward to Peary irrespec-
tive of his proofs. the committee ad-
journed until Wednesday without
taking action.
OF the committee of seven members
II is known there are three opposed to
granting recognition to Commander
Peary unless the proofs of his discov-
cry of the pole are submitted to con-
gress and made public. These are
Representatives Butler, Roberts and
Macon. Representatives Bates, Daw-
son and Gregg have not committed
themselves, and Representative Engle-
bright favors granting an award.
Both Mr. Hobson and Mr.. Moore
vigorously urged the committee today
to honor Commander Peary without
further quibbling over the proofs
Hobson declaring that the granting Of
the rank of a retired rear admiral was
none too much honor to bestow.
Mr. Macon told the committee that
since he publicly declared few days
ago he would insist on seeing Mr..
Peary's proofs and was opposed to any
Legislation in the dark" he had re-
ceived letters containing 5000 sigma
lures indorsing the stand taken.
The committee has received a mass
of interesting communications on the
subject.
