New Rates Announced by
Pullman Company.
RESULT OF LOTUS SUIT
Complaint Of st. Paul Man to the In
terstate Commerce Commission Ter
inmates in Announcement That
Hereafter the Upper Section Of
Sleeping Cars Will Cost Eighty Per
Cent That of the Lower.

Cent That of the Lower.
Chicago, Dec. 2.-General reduction
of the rates for upper Pullman berths
and in certain instances for lower
berths were announced before Com
missioners Franklin K. Lane and E. b.
Clark of the interstate commerce com
mission by G. S. Fernald of the Pull
man company. No testimony in the
cases before the commission was
taken. :: -.
The reduction in upper berth rates
offered is 20 per cent where the lower
berth rate exceeds $3.50. Various re-
auctions are announced for the rates
on lower berths in specific instances.
The hearing, at which the promise
of reduction was made, was a rehear-
ing of the petition of George S. LOT
tus of St. Paul against the Pullman
company, the point at issue being the
upper berth rates between Chicago
and the Pacific coast. Last March the
CO111C1Cc COu1lllSSlOu VI
dered reduction in the rates for both
upper and lower berths and the Unit
ed States circuit court enjoined the
enforcement of this order. Instead, it
directed that a rehearing be held.
The offer of the Pullman company
proving satisfactory to the 'plaintiff''
before the commission no testimony
in the rehearing was heard.
Minimum Rate Is $1.25.
Thereafter the minimum rate for up
per berths will be $125, instead of
$780," said Mr.. Fernald, who is assist.
ant general solicitor of the Pullman
company.
Eve have not prepared all our ia
bles establishing the new rates." ex-
planned Mr.. Fernald, ''but we are work
ing on them as fast as possible.
I'VE decided that although the up.
per berths cost more to build, furnish
and maintain than the lower public
discrimination against the uppers re-
quired reduction in their price.
Where the lower berth is rated at
$3.50 the upper berth will be $1.25,
and in all instances other than this
the upper berths will cost 80 per cent
of the lower.
''Not a rate has been raised by this
new schedule, but we are endeavoring
to adjust all charges to correspond
with the Eastern standard of 6 mills
a mile.
Lower berths from St. Paul and
Minneapolis to Seattle and intermedi-
ate Pacific coast points are reduced
from $12 to $11. The rate on upper
berths was made $780," ,%+' J

invitation extended him by the Ar.
kansas Valley commercial association
to attend the famous Watermelon
day at the Arkansas valley fair at
Rocky Ford, Colorado. September !.
when more than 10000 people will be
in attendance, an effort will be made
to get him to reconsider his detcrmi-
nation.
/ In reply to his letter OF thanks but
of dcclination, written to r. II. Faxon,
president OF the Arkansas Valley
Commercial association, Colonel
Roosevelt says:
Il wish l could accept but it is a
simple impossibility.
"fOu have no conception OF the re.
quests to speak, and Invitations to
attend banquets and reunions which
| have received.
"It Is physically impossible for me
to accept even one in a hundred. l
am deeply touched by the courtesy
shown to me in asking me to attend
these banquets and reunions and
make these speeches, but could not
possibly accept more than relative
ly small proportion unless absolutely
abandoned all thought OF doing any
thing else Of any kind or sort-and
