SLEEPING CAR RATE TOO HIGH
Interstate Commerce Commission cuts
the Price of Berths.

Interstate Commerce Commission cuts
the Price of Berths.
st. Paul, April 12.-As q result of
the complaints filed nearly three years
ago by two Twin City men, George S.
LOTUS and James Manahan, against
the sleeping car charges of the Pull
man company, the interstate com.
MERGE commission, according to a dis
patch received from Washington, has
ruled that berth rates must be low
cred materially and makes specific re.
auctions between St. Paul and the
coast, as we'll as other Northwest
points. The ruling also holds that It
is unjust and unreasonable" for the
company to charge equally for upper
and lower berths.
The commission ruled that the pres.
ent Pullman rate of $12 from st. Paul
to the Pacific coast was too high and
ordered it reduced to $40. The pres
ent rate of $12 for an upper berth is
reduced to $3.50.
A short nights journey. the com.
mission holds, should not carry a rate
Of more than $3.50 for a lower berth
and $1.10 for an upper. The rate Of
81 which the company has maintained
from St. Paul to Fargo, N. d., 242
miles, is ordered reduced accordingly.
The prevailing upper berth rate Of
$3.50 is reduced to $1.10 between st.
Paul and Superior, Wis, and the upper
berth rate between st. Paul and Grand
Forks is reduced from 81 to $1.5O. The
rates prevailing are approved for
lower berths. 95YE.ls2 MS

NOTHING TO GIVE OUT

Ex-President and Deposed Chief For

Refuse to Divulge the Subjects Dis.
eussed During That Time-Chance
Remark Indicates That Roosevelt
Has Not Yet Regulated TAFT. -.
Porto Maurizio, Italy,.-April ~
Clifford Pinchot, former chief forester
OF the United States, arrived unex-
pectedly in Porto Maurizio and after
few hours sleep at the Palace no.
tel went to the villa of Miss Carew,
where he was given an enthusiastic
greeting by Colonel Roosevelt.
Hello, Clifford! Well, this is fine!"
shouted the colonel, who had not ex-
pected to see Pinchot until much
later in the day.
Hello, Teddy!" responded Pinchot,
while the men were still several
PAGES apart.
And then they clasped hands like
long lost brothers.
1t was almost a case of falling into
each others arms.
Pinchot vas hustled inside the
house and the two reappeared in a
few minutes and departed on a walk
ing trip to the mountains.
Their stroll lasted two hours and if
the same eagerness that marked their
conversation at the start of the stroll
was maintained throughout everything
that has taken place during the last
year in America was pretty thorough
ly covered.
"Nothing to Give Out"
To the correspondents inquiries
fired after the pair returned to the
villa there was an announcement of
nothing to give out"
1t is fair to assume, however, that
Pinchot made full report to the ex-
president of what he believes to be
Secretary Ballinger's attempt to re-
verse Roosevelt's conservation policy
and that the insurgent movement that
has developed in the Republican ranks
under President Taft's administration
furnishes fruitful topic of discussion.
Pinchot let fall one remark that in.
dicated that Roosevelt has not yet
repudiated Taft. He said Roosevelt
was surprised he had received no per.
sOnal message from Taft or from any
member Of Taft's official family.@:
Roosevelt expressed to Pinchot his
desire to hear the full text of the va
rious controversies from the admins
tration's point of view. ,.e.'
Pinchot reiterated the statement
that he came here to meet Roosevelt
on his own initiative. He will remain
with the colonel for several days.
The ex-forester seemed in the best of
spirits, particularly after his walk
with the colonel. -
