Members of Japanese Ministry Marked
for Assassination.

Toxic, June 1.-The government is
using the utmost secrecy in it's inves-
tigation of the reported socialist plot
against Premier Katsura and other
members of the Japanese cabinet.
No one besides the governments trust
ed agents is permitted to see the half
dozen alleged conspirators who have
been arrested.
The extreme caution taken has
given rise to alarming reports of the
extent of the plot and cabinet mem
bers and other government officials

WOULD AMEND RAILROAD BILL
President Taft Sends Special Message
to Congress.


Washington, June 8.-FollOwing a
conference with Senator w. Murray
Crane of Massachusetts and Represen.
tative James R. Mann of Chicago,
President Taft sent to congress a spe-
cial message asking that the railroad
bill be SO amended as to give the inter-
state commerce commission immediate
power to fix upon the reasonableness
of a railroad rate, either upon it's own
initiative or upon complaint.
The pending bill provides that this
particular feature of the bill shall not
go into effect until sixty days after the
bill is signed. The effect of the re-
quest of the president, if carried out,
would be to enable him to expedite,
through the interstate commerce com.
mission, the tentative agreement
reached at the White House with
Western railroad presidents.

CONFER WITH TAFT
Railroad Heads Agree to With
draw Increased Rates.
GOVERNMENT TO DROP SUIT
Injunction Now in Force Will
Be Dismissed.

Washington, June IA completS
agreement between the government
and the recently enjoined railroads OF
the Western Trunk Line association
was reached at White House con-
ference which lasted for more than
-four hours.
The railroads represented agreed to
withdraw all rate increases filed, to
be effective on or after June 1, and
agreed to file no more increases until
the bill in congress, which gives the
interstate commerce commission pow
er to investigate and suspend in
creases that are not justified, becomes
a law and goes into effect.
President Taft thereupon stated the
administration purpose in bringing
the injunction suit had been accom-
pliShed and the suit would be discont
enued. The discontinuance will not
BE entered, however, until after the
new railroad law is signed.

Will Not Increase Rates.
That they will acquiesce in Presk
dent Taft's proposition and hold up
the proposed increases until after thu
new law becomes effective is practical
iy taken for granted here.
Every one connected with the con-
ference seemed gratified over the out
come. All that President Taft has de-
sired is that the interstate commerce
commission should have authority to
Investigate increases in rates to deter.
mine whether or not they are justified
by prevailing conditions and are just
to the shippers. This power is to be
conferred under the new law.
The railroads, on the other hand, 1t
lis pointed out, are to be relieved Of
embarrassing litigation, are assured of
"a square DEAF when their case is pre-
scented to the interstate commerce
commission, and are free to resume

extensions which they threatened to
cancel had the court proceedings con-

The new railroad bill contains o
CLAUSE which gives it effect sixty days
after being signed by the president. It
will be necessary to make the provi-
sion as to the supervision of rates by
the Interstate commerce commission
Immediately effective, and for this rea-
son, as President Taft indicated, it
will be necessary to send the bill to
