by Rector and Assisting
Clergymen.

Huntington Close. by the side Of Grace

eoodv number of the church's parishiopers
They stood on the lawn where the Fletsch-
mann bakery stood Of yoTe. and were gaped
at through the iron pslings OF the fence
by a luncheon hour crowd Of office boys
stepoeraphers and clerks which clogged the
10Th street corner. although the gate TO the
close was open and all we're welcome
within.
Altogether II was a very different sight
from that which the famous bread line
afforded on this very corner on both baimy
and bitter nights of former years. There
was no shyness about entering In those old
days. But the bread line. which still holds
its nightly ministrations a block further up
across the street. is an old established IN
stitution. while the pretty open air services
I'm Huntington Close began only yesterday.
So the Rev Dr. Charles Lewis Slattery,
rector Of Grace Church, is confident that
before long the shyness will wear off.
DR.. Slattery conducted services from the
little pulpit opening off the chantry. built
bv Mrs. John f.. Parsons in memory Of her
first husband, David Wolff Bishop. for
mer vestryman of Grace Church. The

rection Of Section Is of tire Railroad bill
passed by the United States Senate.
The section provides. in treating of COM
plants to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission against rate increases. that. pend
ing the determination of their reasonable
ness, the carrier shall give 20 each ship
per. when he prepays freight, a bill
Of lading. receipt. or expense BILL which
shall SHOW what the charges would have
been II the increased rate had not been
charged. Such way bills shall be preserve ed
Until final determination OF the question as
above provided. If the increased rate rs
found unreasonable. then the carrier shall
refund 10 the party paying it the differ
ence between that and the rate as it exist
ed before the increase"
AS the provision would work out, the
lawyer SAID, IL the commission should de-
eide that an increase Of 10 cents on
some commodity was unreasonable, but
should allow nine cents. the railroad would
nevertheless have 20 refund the fun ten
cents TO the shippers on way bills covering
the entire period intervening before the
decision was reached. probably several
months.

TAFT COMMUTERS HOPE
Relief from Increased Fares
Expected from President.
REPLY OF RAILROAD HEADS
Nothing Said at White House
Conference, They Declare,
About Passenger Rates.

Commuters were all ears yesterday when
II was suggested in a Washington dispatch
that the new commutation rates. which
will be effective July / on all New York
railroads, would be revoked as result of
President Taft's arrangement with railroad
managers that no rates would be increased
until the Interstate Commerce Commission
had investigated the reasonableness Of any
proposed advance
Railroad officials stated last evening that,
to the best of their belief, the new COM
mutation rates would go into effect on the
date previously announced, which. in most
cases, was July I. William G. Brown,
president of the New York Central Lines.
one OF the three railroad men TO confer
with President Taft on Tuesday, said that
the subject of passenger rates was not
mentioned at the conference in Washing
von, and later made this statement:
There was no signed agreement as TO
the result Of that conference. but a state
ment was dictated by President Taft and
given to the public.
"If President Taft understood that pas
senger rates were affected 1 would agree
TO his Interpretation. but 1 am not making
any proposition to the President. II he
speaks to me about It = will reply to him.
1.-The New York Central has raised no
passenger rates over which the Interstate
Commerce Commission has Jurisdiction ex-
cept few on the West Shore. The rates
on the Central and the Harlem diviGon
come under the Jurisdiction Of the Public
Service Commission
When asked if any agreement had been
made to withdraw the new passenger rates.
which are effective on July 1, Mr.. Browns
reply was NO"
A representative Of the PENNSYLVANIA
Railroad, after communicating with the ex-
ecutive offices Of the road IN Philadelphia,
said:
THE conference in Washington concerned
communication rates"
James McCrea. president of the Pennsyl-
vania, was one OF the three railroad presi-
dents at the conference in the White
House
William H. Truesdale. president Of the
Lackawanna road, said that he had not
heard of any agreement that would af-
feet the roads plan to raise Communication
rates on June g. and remarked: LAS far as
I know the new Communication rates will go
into effect
An official of the Jersey Central said he
did not understand that President Taft took
up the subject of Communication rates at the
conference. William G. Besler, vice-presi-
dent and general manager Of the road
stated that to the best of his knowledge
and belief the new commute ton rates
would go into effect as planned.
Representatives of the Erie and the Le-
high Valley roads stated that there was
no change in the situation and that the
new rates would go into effect.

FILIBUSTER IN SENATE
Bristow Blocks Progress of Sun
dry Civil Bill.
.rFrom The Tribune Bureau.


Washington, June s-Senator Hale made
an effort to expedite the consideration of
the sundry civil bill In the Senate to-day.
but with comparatively little success be
cause of the flibustering tactics of Senator
Bristow
Mr. Hale, having heard numerous rumors
Of the purpose Of the insurgents to discuss
certain features of the bill at great length.
insisted that the conservation bill be laid
aside and the sundry civil bill taken up.
but Senator Bristow, who had promised
Senator La Toilette that the measure
should make no progress in the absence
of the Wisconsin Senator, insisted that
every word of the measure be read instead
Of the captions, as is the usual procedure,
and the careful reading of the 1876 pages
Of the measure emptied the Senate and
occupied a seemingly interminable time.
Mr.. Hale then permitted it to be laid
aside, and the conference report on the
river and harbor bill was taken up. Sena-
tor Burton defended the report in vigor-
Gus speech. in the course of which he de-
clared that its only opponents could be
divided into two classes, those who were
disappointed In securing appropriations In
which they were especially interested and
those who think any such measure in
trinsically bad.
The discussion of the river and harbor
bill occupied the remainder of the session.
Just before adjournment an attempt was
made to fix time for vote, but without
success, and Senator Hale gave notice that
unless agreement was reached promptly
tomorrow whereby the report could be dis
posed of in the morning hour, he would in
sist on its being laid aside and considera-
ton of the sundry civil bill resumed.
The laying aside of the conservation bill
has no special significance. Only one speech
remains to be made on that measure, that
of Senator Hughes, so far as known, and
as it is a simple bill II is not assumed
that II will encounter difficulties in con-
ference. The sundry civil bill being
most complex measure it IS desired to get
e into conference at the earliest possible
moment.
Senators Aldrich and Elkins and Rep
resentatfve Mann held two informal meet
ings on the railroad bill to-day, and as q
result of their discussion il was asserted
that the essential differences between the
bills were not numerous and an early
agreement was predicted.
Early in the day Senator Money intro
duced resolution providing for a special
committee OF five Senators to investigate
the forest reserves, with a view 10 ascer-
tanning how much agricultural land Is
contained therein, and with the further
purpose of throwing such land open to en-
try. Inasn1uch as the Secretary Of Agrt-
culture is eliminating such land from the
reserves as rapidly as is practicable, there
seems to be little occasion for the pro-
posed committee.
