THE BENEFIT
International News Special


 Washintgon, D. G., Nov. 29.-Dur- ing a discussion of Federal control of Railroad securities today between Chairman Hadley, of the Commission now Investigating the subject, and T.. Hall, member of the Massachusetts Commission, the president of Yale drew attention to the increasing feel ing that the heighth of the dividend is sufficient reason for sweeping reduction in railroad rates.
 MT. Hall expressed the opinion that the electrif fication of railroads and the building of terminals, like the Pennsylvania Lines in New York City which gave the public increased facilities and benefits, justifies an increase in freight rates as necessary to provide the enormous expense in- cured.
 It is apparent that the CommissioR will not submit the recommendations for proposed gslation for some time, probably not during the short session of Congress. x The data gath cred by Professor Hadley in Europe has not yet arrived and the corre- spondence. with railroad M officials throughout the country is now under way.

 k sWhile action in this direction will be stout that there will be urged the sentiment in it's favor are by no means unanimous.

AUGUST BELMONT
 GROWS WRATHY Famous Turfman Denounces Charges of Corruption to
 Protect Race Tracks. INVESTIGATION IS ON Says Reports of Corruption Fund Are
 Mythical and Ridicul-
IS ON
International News Special

International News Special
 New York, Nov. 29.-Resuming it's session today after a weeks recess, the joint legislative Investigating committee sank the probe again into the cess pool of corporations, created at Albany in 1908 by the legislation prohibiting book-making on horse races. August Belmont, banker, fi- nancier and traction magnate. was the most important witness of the day.
 For many years MT. Belmont has been regarded as the most prominent turfman in America. His position as chairman of the Jockey Club, the most influential racing organization of the United States, entailed upon his authority and responsibility which the Investigators seemed to think had equipped him to reveal a vast amount of details concerning the general charges of corruption in con- nection with the anti-betting legisla- tion at Albany, of which they have been seeking.
 MT. Belmont bitterly resented ev- cry imputation either that corruption had been practiced at Albany by he hired representative of the racing interests or that he knew anything at all about the raising of a corrup- ton fund. He characterized as ray thical and ridiculous" the story Of a meeting at Delmonico's at which a fund of a half million dollars had been subscribed by Keene, Whitney Schyler, Parsons and other big racing men, and entrusted to Charles H Hyde and James B. Guffney for d:s- tribution among legislators amen able to that sort of influence.

 South Bend, Ind, Nov. 29.-Dr. G. F. Lydston, of Chicago, in address ing the St. Joseph Medical Associa- tion in annual session today, declar- ed that graft was a genuine disease for the common variety of theft, and the sooner people cease using euphe- ism and call spade spade" the sooner will graft be eliminated from the body, social and polite.
 "A study of graft is study of hu- man nature,'' said Dr. Lydston. "The graft microbe lies in waist deep down in the system of the average citizen. It feeds on opportunity and necessity. The individual who yearns for the railroad pass or looks the other way when the conductor on the street car is collecting his tickets, has the symptoms of graft,
 "The protests of the American people have been most vociferous against three varieties of grafters, the co. aapt politician, the true blood sucker on our body, social and poli- tic; the octopean corporation and the man who fattens on the proyident de- mand of the public and insures pro- tection for the family.'
