.Hannibal. Mo-. May 31.-Twenty-
FIVE western railroads were temporar-
;1v restrained tonight by the United
states district Judge, David r. Dyer,
from enforcing or making a general
advance of interstate freight rates.
The Injunction was granted on a Pc
tion filed by the government on a.
legations that advances in rates were
arrived by the defendants by an agree
ment without competition and in v1o'
lation of the Sherman antl-trusta CT:
The petition was filed in the Uniteo
States circuit court at St. Louis tnls
afternoon, and was brought here Dy
Messrs Judson and Grosvenor to pre-
sent to Judge Dyer, who is holding a
session of United States circuit court
here.
Il states that unless such restrain
ing order be issued the said advances
will become effective at midnight to-
night, to the grave harm and INJURY
Of the people of the United States.

Washington, May 31.-On the eve
of leaving for his home in Iowa, for
the purpose of participating in the
campaign in that state, Senator Cum
Minis informed the senate today that
as amended, the railroad bill would
receive his vote, as it would also the
votes of progressive republicans who
have stood with him in opposition to
the bill as it was prepared by the at
torney general, and introduced by
Senator Elkins, in behalf OF the ad-
ministration.
The statement was made in the
shape of a brief speech delivered by
himself in support of an amendment
placing upon railroad companies the
burden of proof in hearings on rate.
increases. This amendment was ac-
cepted by Senator Elkins and became
part of the bill by general consent.
In his speech Mr.. Cummins said
that while the bill left much to be
desired, he considered it step for
ward in railroad legislation. He enum-
Grated the various provisions and
measures and said that with the ex-

mier. He said that it was neither
desirous nor capable of getting JUS
tice, nor had England shown enough
of her strength.
"You have tried to do too much,' -
he said, 'in the interests of the
Egyptians themselves. Those who
have to do with uncivilized people,
especially fanatical people, must re-
member that in such situation as
that which faces you in Egypt, weak
ness, timidity and sentimentality may
cause infinitely more harm than vio-
lence and injustice. Sentimentality
is the most broken reed on which
can leAn."
He prefaced his remarks on Egypt
with the statement that he spoke as
an unprejudiced outsider, as an Am
erican and a real democrat, whose
first duty was to war against vio-
lence, injustice and wrongdoing wher-
ever found. He proffered his advice
only in accordance with the princi-
pies on which he had acted as presi-
dent in dealing with the Philippines
and declared that the present condi-
tion of affairs in Egypt was a grave
menace to the British empire and to
civilization.

Washington, May 31.-Just before
adiourning today until next October,
the supreme court of the United
States restored the Is corporation
tax cases heard last spring to the
docket for re-argument before full
bench. No specific date was set 1or
the re-argunent, as two cases toucn-
ing the constitutionality of the law
and it's applicability to certain or
ganizations have been set already Tor
the first Tuesday of the October
term.
After a long list of cases previously
assigned for hearing on that date, II
is believed the court will advance the
fifteen cases in question for a near
ing in the same month.
Chief Justice Fuller made the an
nouncement of the restoration.
"For argument before full bench
was the only reason assigned for the
unexpected action of court.
The cases were argued on Marcn
II and 18 before a bench consisting
of eight members. When justice
Brewer died shortly afterwards II
was thought that the cases might be
restored to the docket. The STANDARD

tions he considered it in every way
desirable legislation. He facilitated
himself and his associates especially
upon the expurgation of sections Z
and 12, dealing with traffic agreements
and mergers. The first of these he
characterized as a reproach and the
second as curiosity. He closed with
the following statemen:
"We have been as free to commend
what we thought to be right as we
have been to denounce. what we be-
Ileved to be wrong"
Aside from the adoption OF the
Cummins provisions the action Of to-
day consisted in the rejection of Sen
ator Browns amendment prohibiting
the consolidation of competitive rail-
roads. This amendment went out in
an adverse vote of 20 ia Al.
The principal discussion of the day
was over the Brown amendment and
Senator LaFollette's amendment re-
uuiring the interstate commerce COM
missions to make a physical valuation
of the railroads. The latter was not
voted on.

TAFT REFUSES TO
AID Combination

Washington, May 31.-President
Taft announced today that during his
administration he should not lend
his approval to legislation designed
to give government aid of specific
railroad interests in Alaska. Instead
he favors a general law which will
apply to all who comply with it's
provisions, law modelled after the
policy which for years has been in
effect in the Philippine islands.
The announcement came in the
shape of executive approval of an ad-
verse report made to congress by
Secretary Ballinger on bill which
proposed specific aid to the Alaska
Great Northern railroad. The back
ers of the bill in this connection have
charged that those who opposed their
measure are "controlled" by the Nor
gan-Guggenheim syndicate. Govern
or Clark, former Governor Hoggatt
and Lewis P. Shackleford, republican
national committeeman from Alaska,
have all been included in these omi-
nous statements.
In this connection Mr.. Shackleford
made public a statement tonight in
which he declares that 'lobby" is
being maintained in Washington in
behalf of these special privilege
bills," and in which he attacks Dele
gate Wickersham of Alaska in Wig
orous fashion. Mr. Shackleford be-
lieves the announcement of President
Taft's policy will do much to "clear
the air. in Alaska.

Springfield, ILL.,, May 31.-The legls-
lative investigation in which he San
canon grand jury is engaged took on
a broader aspect today and several
new angles were opened. The start
of the days work was the issuing OF
subpoenaes for three men, two repre-
sentatives and a state official, who
have not yet figured in the investlga-
ton and the official close of the daily
grind of jurors was with the testimony
of Representative H. D. McCullom OF
Louisville. The new summonses were
for Representative A. M. Foster OF
Rushville, chairman Of the fish and

state fish commissioner, and Repre-
sentative B. F. Staymates of Clinton,

London, May 31:-Quite unexpect-
edly today Theodore Roosevelt deliv'
cred what is considered by English
men as a severe arraignment OF the
nation in it's attitude toward Egypt
Something picturesque was looked
for from the former president OF the
United States, but in view of his ut
terances in Egypt in which he gave
praise in full measure to the British
Government for the development that
followed British rule there, it was
not expected he would revert to that
subject, especially for the purpose
of taking England to task.
But with frankness that caused
stir among those who had gathered
in the ancient Guild hall to witness
the ceremony of comforting upon him
the freedom of the city of London,
Mr.. Roosevelt declared that while
England had given Egypt the gest
government in 1000 years, yet recent
events following the assassination OF
Premier Boutros Pasha had shown
that in certain vital points the Brit
ish government had erred, and that
England must repair this error if she
wished to do her full duty.
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1910-06-01

He called attention to the fact that
England's primary object in taking
hold of Egypt was the establishment
of order.
Either you have or you have not
the right to remain in Egypt and
establish and keep order. If you
have not the right and have not the
desire okeep order, then by all
means get out. But if, as hope you
feel that your duty to civilized man
kind and your fealty to your own
great traditions alike bid you stay,
then make the fact and the name
agree and show that you are ready
to meet in very deed the RESPONSE
biIity which is yours.
when people treats assassina-
ton as the corner stone of self-gov.
ernment, it forfeits all the rights to
be treated as worthy of self-govern-
ment. Some nation must govern
Egypt, and hope and pray that the
English nation will decide that that
duty is theirs"
Mr.. Roosevelt dwelt upon the bale
full influence of the nationalist party
in Egypt which had shown in con-
nection with the murder of the pre-

MISSOURI RIVER AND DENVER
RATE CASES WERE Affirmed
YESTERDAY.
Court Believed Very Existence Ct
Through Rates Was at Stake-Case
Has Been in Court for Past TWO
Years - Decision Was Written BY
Justice Mckenna.

Washington, May 31.-By decls-
ion of four to three, the supreme
court of the United States today de-
cided that interstate commerce COM
mission had not exceeded it's power
in ordering the reduction of freight
rates in the so-called Missouri river
rate cases and the Denver rate cases.
These orders we're held to be valid.
The Missouri rate cases were based
on an order of the commission re-
ducing the freight rate between the
Mississippi river and the Missouri
river as a part of the through rates
on through shipments originating IN
the seaboard territory.
The Denver rate cases were based
on an order reducing the rates on
through freight from Chicago and
from St. Louis to Denver.
In both cases the railroads and the
shippers concerned claimed that COM
mission was endeavoring to divite the
country into rate zones.
The circuit court for the northern
district of Illinois decided this con-
