night on a charge of melting to riot
Yesterday afternoon a riot occurred in
front of the hall in which he was adj
dressing the strikers. Detectives in the
crowd Immediately reported to Direc-
tor Clay of the department of public
safety with tie result that a warrant
vas sworn out for his arrest.
Pratt was not given a hearing but
was Immediately placed in a cell and
an all-night effort of his friends to
secure his release was unsuccessful.
There is every evidence that the po-
lice deliberately lodged u.s." said one
of his friends. in order to keep Pratt

Friends of the prisoner who were I'M
able to obtain copy of the charge.
and John j. Murphy, president of the
Central Labor Union, went before a
police magistrate and swore to the
contents of the warrant upon which
Pratt was arrested. and on this afii-
davit obtained a release for Pratt I'M
der $500 bail City hall officials, how
over, refused to recognize it on the
ground that the release was not based
was nothing to do but wait for Pratt's
hearing today.
Mr., Murphy today said:

things practiced by the police here
since the strike began. | hate been
told that men were kept in cells at the
City hall without food for two days
Even water was refused them in some
instances. Such conditions have no
right to exist in an enlightened COM
munity."
The Philadelphia Rapid Transit Co at
A. NJ. began the operation of limited
number of cars on the principal lines.
AS was the case yesterday, most of the
efforts of the officials of the company
were concentrated on the heavily Travelled
streets leading to the business centers of
the city. The day opened foggy. with a
heavy rain falling and despite these dis
agreeable conditions the cars carried only
small percentage of their usual num-
Der OF passengers. Every car operated
carried at least two policemen.
1t was the intention of the traction
company to increase the number of cars
and to open lines in outlying sections as
the day progressed, provided there were
no unusual disturbances. Owing to the
fact that today was legal holiday, with
many industrial and other establishments
closed, the police expected busy day,
on the theory that idle ness breeds mis-
ct $50 a.,.

COMING TO GARDINER.
kniekerbocker Steam Towage Co. Of
ficers to Leave Bath.

The following dispatch sent out from
Bath Tuesday will be of interest to Ken
nebec river people:
Bath, Me-, Feb. 22.-George w. Thistle,
who has had charge of the local office of
the knickerbocker Steam Towage Co.,
has completed his services with the COM
pany and the office in this city will be
closed on March ! and moved to Gar
diner, where it will be in charge of Lor-
ing C. Ballard
Rumors of such a change We're current
last year. There was a strong sentiment
against such move and Mr.. Ballard
said he knew nothing of the rumor. At
that time, however, Capt. Charles w.
Dingley, who had for some years been in
charge of the local Office severed his
connection with the company and it was
believed there was something in the
wind. Mr.. Ballard. who was in the city
Monday, announced the change.
1t is understood that Bath will still re-
main a station for the towboats of the
companys fleet of which but one now
tied up here is in active service, that be-
ing the Segun, but that all orders will
originate in Gardiner and all of the Ken
nebec river bookings of the company will
be transacted in the Gardiner office.
The Knickerbocker has been long es-
tablshed company in this city, having
previously been in the hands of the
Morses of Bath. Seafaring men, builders
and owners, dislike to see the local office
pass to Gardiner. but it seems to be in

WHAT THE TARIFF
WILL BEAR
(By Samuel o. Dunn, in Chicago
Daily News.)

(By Samuel o. Dunn, in Chicago
Daily News.)
In the very interesting editorial of
August 30, entitled Government
Matchmaking, . the Daily News criti-
cized the contention of President
Ripley of the Santa Fe that railway
rates should be based on what the
traffic will bear" and said that the
government in regulating the rates
could not act on this principle, but
must determine the value of the
property used; then 1t must allow the
owners a reasonable return upon the
value of that property over and
above all proper charges and operat-
ing expenses"
The method of rate-making which
the Daily News advocates has proved
practicable as applied to many pub
lie service corporations. ! thing it is
largely because of this that its adcp-
ton by the government in the regula-
ton OF railway rates is so widely adj
vocated. But this overlooks the fact
that the business of the railway is
carried on under different conditions
from that of almost any other public
utility.
The other important public utili-
ties. such as street railways and
thing. The street railways, for ex-
ample, sell only passenger transport
tation; waterworks, only water. The
fixing of the charges of such utilities.
is, therefore, comparatively simple
matter.
The railway. on the other hand,
sells many kinds of service which are
of varying values to those to whom
they are sold, from the transporta'
ton of sand and coal. which are
worth very little a ton, up to the
transportation of wearing apparel
which is worth many dollars ton.
Now, the valuation of railways
oroperty would be of very little help
in determining what the relative rates
on these commodities of widely vary
ing values ought to be. II the aver
age cost per ton per mile of hauilng
all commodities including operating
EXPENSES, fixed charges and DIVIDENDS,
were applied on everything from SAND
to drv goods, the movement OF the
less valuable commodities would be
stopped; the traffic would not pear
it,"
In order that these less valuable
commodities may be hauled at all
the railway must charge less on them
than the average cost OF transporta-
ton. and charge more than the aver
age for hauling the more valuable
It must charge what
the traffic will bear" This does not
hurt those shipping the more valu-
able commodities. because IL the ran
way did not make low rates on the
cheaper commodities they would not
be shipped, and then the more vaiu-
ohle commodities would have to pay
ali the running expenses Of the rail-
xrav in which case the rates on them
uonld he higher than they are now.
Again a public utility such as
waterwcrks company usually has no

meets competition from other rail-
ways at all important points on It's

by a series of benches, and by this
method one shovel can work above
another. Two benches have been com

started on the third. The fine shov-
els are cutting away the Gaping that
covers the ore body. There are six
engines at work hauling ore
and waste to the dumping grounds.
The shoveis will fill from 200 TO $50.

tween Laredo and Eagle Pass. Dur
ing the past week corps of survey
ors OF the Santa Fe have been sur

wads Cotuila and San Antonio. 1t is
thought that the plan of the Santa
re IS 70 buiid a cutoff from Merid-
ian 70 Lampasas and thence to san

would be built via Coctulla to the

The property to be decided by the

Ellis and his home as New York.
They were riding in a Cole thirty
horsepower car and had been over
the country between here and the
Texas and Pacific on the south, ap-
parently looking up pointers on rail-
road building. They traversed the
Rock Island Texico-F Farwell and
Southern grade up to Texico. and left
Saturday for Tucumcari without di-
yulging their business. What infor-
nation they left. though meager. was
TO the effect that they were Rock
Island officials, and that that com
pany was making arrangements to
push the road rapidly through from
Tucumcari to the Texas and Pacific.
