Greatest Precautions in Ac-

Chicago. June 24.-lt has been
many wears since an Illinois jury has
been called upon to consider verdict
Of greater political importance than
the one which this afternoon retired
to consider the charge of bribery
against Lee O'Neil Browne, leader Of
the democratic minority OF tne IN
ncis house of representatives.
In instructing the jury, Judge Nc
Surely said that the uncorroborated
testimony OF an accomplice might be
considered, but il should he received
with great caution. Should the jury
believe that any of the states Witness
es testified because OF promises Of I'M
munity from prosecution this should
enter into the consideration OF the
case To find Browne guilty the court
said the evidence must establish be-
vond a reasonable doubt that on June
10. 1909, Browne gave Representa-
tive White in the Briggs House At Chi

ton Of having voted for William l.or-

Chicago, June 24.-Attorney Gener-
al Wickersham in an address AT the
banquet of the Illinois Bar associa
ton tonight expressed the opinion
that under the operation of the new
railroad law much Of the antagonism
between shippers and. carriers would
be removed.
THE contest in congress. which re-
suited in the enactment Of the new
law has been between two principles
Of governmental regulation; one prae-
ticable, the other impracticable. he
said.
'.'rhe bin proposed by the govern
mcnt and finally enacted, empowered
the Interstate commerce commission
when in its opinion upon prima
facie consideration, any proposed m
crease the rates or change in classiii-
cations or regulations seemed to be
unfair or unWarIantcd, to postpone
the actual taking effect of such IN
crease or change until it had been
thoroughly Investigated.
The opposing theory proposed to re-
quire the commission to investigate
every proposed change and determine
in advance. whether or not Il should
take effect before it became opera
tive. Considering that upwards of
POO. 900 schedules OF changes In rates,
etc, are filed every wear. 1t readily
will be perceived that this system
would have absolutely broken down
the commission.
Under the new law. the railroad
companies are left to carry on their
business on their own Initiative eau
