SHIPPERS WILL
FIGHT INCREASE
Proposed Rate Advance by the
Railroads Is Not Necessary
. From Profit Point

Omaha, Neb., May 25.-Prompt and
vigorous action to prevent the putting
into effect of the increased freight
rates proposed by western railroads
as scheduled to the interstate COM
merce commission, was decided upon
BY . meeting of the representatives
Of the shippers interests in. the trade

Prominent business men of the cities
of the territory named. we're present,
as we'll az some from eastern trade
centers.
w. P. Trickett of the Minneapolis
Traffic association, declared the pro-
posed raise in freight rates is not
necessitated by the increased ex-
penses Of the railroads, but by the
desire Of their owners for excessive
profits. He asserted the traffic Of
ficials Of the different roads had no
knowledge of the proposed changes
until notified from New York that
they had been made.
Chas. Elgotter, attorney for the
Omaha traffic bureau, outlined the two
methods which he said were open to
the shippers in their efforts to prevent
the proposed rate increase, both of
which, he declared. should be adopted.
The attorney general of the United
States should be asked to proceed
against the roads which Joined in the
new schedule under the antitrust law,
he said.
At the Same time, application for re-
lief should be made to the interstate
commerce commission. and pending its
investigation Of the reasonableness of
the rates. an injunction should be Sc
cured from the district court to pre-
vent the rates being put into effect
June 1, as scheduled.
E. j. Mcvann, head of the Omaha
traffic bureau, suggested that many
of the roads who were defendants in
the action started in 1907, by the
creamery men, are parties to the pres
ent agreement to raise rates, and pos
sibly might be proceeded against as
violators of the permanent injunc-
tion obtained at that time.
A committee of one from each or
ganization of shippers In the cities
represented was instructed to carry
out the plan outlined by Mr.. Elgotter.

BEATS CHOLOROFORM
With Strange Gas Fatal
to One Spectator.

New York, May 25.-Charles Coulter
Dickinson, organizer and former
president of the Carnegie Trust COM
pany, died in St. Luke's hospital last
night from congestion of the lungs,
caused by the inhalation Of a mysteri-
Gus noxious gas in the laboratory Of
DR.. F. n. Lange at Scranton, Pa, on
May 16. v. v. B. Hedgepeth Of Scran-
ton, vice president of the Tippicanoe
Insurance company, at whose in
stance Mr.. Dickinson went to witness
an experiment in the laboratory, was
also seriously affected by the gas as
we'll as the experimentor, DR.. Lange.
Both are reported i'll, but will prob
able recover. S. C. Dickinson, q
brother OF Charles c. Dickinson, gave
out the first news of the mysterious
tragedy today. He was in an adjoin-
ing room when the others were
stricken and was unaffected.
At first he declined to give the
name of the chemist or the friend
who invited his brother to witness
the experiment, but. fearful lest a
rumor of suicide be givencredence,
he made a full statement. He does
not know the nature of the expert
ment or exactly why his brother went
to witness it, an dthe character of the
ingredients is so baffling that two of
New York's most eminent physicians
Drs. Janway and Delafeld. could not
account for the effect on Mr.. Dickin-
sons lung.

UNITED STATES At BIG EXPENSE
One Side Now Rests on the Bottom

Rapidly Sinking-Experts Believe It

Manila, May 25.-It is the general
opinion that the sinking yesterday Of
the dry dock Dewey, was due to care
lessness rather than to a deliberate
purpose upon the part of the station
employees. who are Japanese, to cause
the damage. The experts declare that
the great floating dry dock, which was
towed here from the United States at
much expense, will be saved, despite
the likelihood that it will be sub
merged before tomorrow morning.
The port side, including the pumps,
were submerged today and Is partly
resting on the bottom. The star
board is still exposed but is settling
slowly. 1t is doubtful whether the
starboard pumps alone could avail
much. The tug Hiscataqua is waiting
to assist when the sea becomes
calmer. The electrical machinery op-
Grating the valves is badly damaged.

COMPROMISE MAY

Amendment to the Cummins
Amendment Of Railroad
Bill May be Adopted

Washington. May 25.-Whether the
railroad bill shall prohibit fatty in
creases in railroad rates without the
approval of the interstate commerce
commission, or shall extend to six
months the time during which the
commission may suspend increased
rates, was the question before the sem
ate when 1t convened today.
Yesterdays session was devoted to
arguments in favor of the Cummin's
provision by the author and by Sen
ators Borah and Dolliver. The gen.
eral contention was that such a re-
,quirement was necessary for the pro-
lection of the shippers. This argu-
3ment was challenged by other SEN
Sators and there was a general debate,
in which Senators Cummins. Dolli-
jver and Borah, Aldrich. Flint, Rayner,
Hepburn, William Alden Smith, Mar
Tin, Clark of Arkansas, Clay and Jones
participated.
\ The suggestion for the extension of
the time during which the commission
may suspend rates for investigation
was made by Senator Martin in the

SHAM PATRIOTISM
Watr0us is Called Blabmouth by Re
tired Army Officer.

Milwaukee, May 25.-Col. James A.
Watrous, paymaster =. of the United
States army, retired. criticises Past
Commander in Chief James Darling as
a "blabmouth," for his fiery protest
against the installation of statue of
the confederate general, Robert E..
Lee, in the hall of fame and says
Darling's style of patriotism is the
veriest sham. Col. Watrous' state
ment in part :is as follows:
"Darling's latest advance on the
dead enemy and his dead flag, uniform
and confederacy recalls Senator Jas.
Gordon's recent remark about class
dispute in still carrying on the war
of the rebellion. The old senator,
himself gallant confederate soldier,
called the rampant fighting class that
hops into the Iimeltght ON the slight
est. provocation, to keep up the bitter
feeling between the sections. 'blab-
mouths adding that they had a small
part in the war and now have little
influence. Darling's fresh outbreak is
proof that we have at least one of
Senator Gordon's class of 'blabmouths'
at the north. Darling's style of pa
triOtism is the veriest sham."

Chicago, May 25.-Wm. Forrest,
counsel for Lee O'Neale Browne, who

State Representative A. G. White to
vote for VIM. Lorimer for United

ment in favor of quashing the indict-

Illinois statute regulating the election
of United States senator's and argu-
ing, therefore, that there was no law
violation if Lee O'Neil Browne, as is
charged, paid Representative White to
vote for Lorimer.
States Attorney Wayman says he
will consume but one hour in replying
to Mr.. Forest. Judge Mcsurely, it is
said, will then give his decision with
out delay. If the indictment is sus-
tanned, there is every indication that
the selection of jury will begin late

ON
JUVENILE COURT
Present Methods Are More
Criminal Than Benevolent
in Their Application

st. Louis, May 25.-Juvenile court
legislation in the United States must
be redrafted and the machinery of
juvenile courts must be revamped, ac-
cording to the dictum of Bernard
Flexner of Louisville. KY, in an ad-
dress before the National Conference
of Charities and Correction here this
morning. While the juvenile court
laws Of many states infer that the
child is the ward, to be protected and
cared for by the state and not a GRIM
inal, to be punished by it, the termin-
ology of the law and the practice of
the courts still bear too much resem-
blance to the criminal code and crimi-
nal practice.
1T is generally conceded" said Mr..
Flexner. that the proceeding involv.
ing the child is equitable in its nature,
in which the state, as the ultimate par
ent OF all children within its borders
stands in loco PARENTS. | believe that
every part of the law that involves a
criminal conception of it should be

inal procedure. would therefore
write more clearly into these laws
than has been done. the benevolent
principle that the proceeding involv-
ing the child is not criminal and that
the child furthermore. is not to be
treated as q criminal"
THE Juvenile court movement has
been powerful agent in uncovering
hideous social wrongs that but for it
might have gone untouched. 1t has
done what it could to right these
wrongs and in so doing 1t has realized
its own limitations. The measures
that the court itself applies, are not,
alas. cure-all: they are at best but
a poor palliative. The remedy for all
wretched mal-adjustments that con-
front us in court lies beyond the court
room. beyond the Judge. 1t is to be
found in the schoolroom, in curricu-
