the road have stoutly denied that
there existed any trouble OF this
character.
The bill against the four former

Washington, d. C. (Speciai) A
complete agreement between the gov
eminent and the recently-enjoined
railroads of the Western Trunk Line
Association was reached at White
House conference which lasted for
more than four hours.
The railroads represented agreed
to withdraw all rate increases fled
to the effective on or after June IL
and agreed to file no more increases
until Il e bill in Congress, which
gives the Interstate Commerce Com
mission power to investigate and gus
pend increases that are not justified,
becomes law and goes into effect.
President Taft thereupon stated.
that the administration purpose in !
bringing the injunction suit had been
accomplished and the suit would he
discontinued. The discontinuance
will not be entered, however, until
after the new railroad law is signed.
The belief was expressed that all
of the other railroads of the coun-
try which have filed increased rates,
or have had such plan under CON-
sheraton will abide by the agrees
named as defendants in the recent
suit.
\ There will be conference at the
White House in which President
Brown, of the New York Central
Railroad; President McCrea, of the
Pennsylvania, and other officials rep
resenting railroads in the Eastern
and Central territory will participate.
That they will acquiesce in President
Taft's proposition and hold up the
proposed increases until after the
new law becomes effective, is prac-
tically taken for granted here.

Dover. England Especially - The
Hon. Charles Stewart Rolls, captain
in the London section OF the Army
Motor Reserve. driving Wright BIZ
plane, INDICATED Anglo-Saxon aero
nautics by crossing the English Chan
mel twice without alighting. He
made the round trip between Dover
and Calais in so minutes. M
While ITO Franchmen Louis Bier
lot and Count De Lesseps, have
crossed the channel in an aeroplane,
1t remained for an Englishman in
an American machine to perform
the double feat. The distance across
between the two points named is I'll
miles, so that his oyer-water flight
of AZ miles without stop estab-
lished new record.
Captain Rolls loft Dover at $50
O'Clock The atmospheric conditions
were excellent. He lost no time In
maneuvers, but after describing q
circle headed towards the coast Of
France. In anticipation of the fight
torpedo boats steamed at full speed
across the straits, but the pace OF
the aeroplane was swifter.
Captain Rolls sent his machine to.
a height of 500 feet, and ct that alti-
tude he SKINNED through the air
like great bird. The motor worked
perfectly. The crowd that watched
the start confidently awaited the re-
turn. and it was not long before the
speck, which those who had telc-
scopes saw disappear on the French
coast. reappeared, growing larger
with every minute.
Home Again.
When finally the aviator became
visible to the naked eye cheer after
cheer arose from the enthusiastic
spectators, and as he gracefully soar
ed toward the landing place made
famous by Bleriot he was given an
ovation. He alighted at o'clock at
almost the same spot at Bleriot.
showing little signs OF the strain
of his magnificent fight.
AS he was passing over Sangatte
the aviator dropped a paper tied with
tri-coloreG ribbons. containing the
following message:
Greeting to the Aero Club OF
France, dropped from a Wright aero
plane crossing from England to-
France. Vive pEntente!"
Captain Rolls was overwhelmed
with congratulate as he dismount-
ed, but these he received modestly.
He said that much of the credit
was due to the biplane,. which ran
perfectly throughout the whole Tight
not missing sparkling once.

ecuted for counterfeiting.
While serving his sentence James

quantity of lead, some bismuth, block

terfeiters He constructed molds Of

\ The prison authorities got hold OF
q large number Of the spurious coins.
Jaynes passed them OF on other con-
victs on holidays, when the inmates
are given the freedom of the yards.
He also exchanged counterfeit coins
for bills with convicts who were
about to be released.
The coins were considered by Nc
Hugh, Of the Secret Service, as fair
imitation of good money. They are
we'll made, the lettering and figures
are natural in appearance and would
readily pass.
The manner in which Jaynes OBJ
tanned material for making counter
felt money is as mysterious as the
methods which convict in the same
prison employed several years ago to
distill whisky, or a fluid which read
lily performed the function of that
intoxicant. An old prison authority
said that he no longer recalled the
name of this convict, but recollected
perfectly the beautiful "jags'' which
that convict acquired before his
"still'' was discovered.

Washington, y. c. Especially The
Senate passed the Administration
Railroad Bill. 1t had been under
consideration for more than twelve
weeks and practically no other busi-
ness except appropriation bills, we're
considered in that long period. Only
twelve votes were recorded against
the bill.
The practical unanimity with
which the measure was passed was
due to the radical changes made in
the measure from the form in which
1t was drafted by Attorney General
Wickersham, following numerous
conferences at the White House on
Commerce laws, All Of the sinsurg
ents" who opposed many features Of
the original bill voted for it.
Debate ceased at $50 o'clock
when Senator Elkins, chairman of
the Interstate Commerce Committee,
moved to take up the bill which was
passed by the House, and after strik-
ing out the body of that measure,
to substitute the matter agreed upon
by the Senate. In that form the
bill was voted upon with the result
that it was passed by a vote Of so

bill as it passed the Senate may be
described as follows: The bill pro-
vides for the creation of new Court
of Commerce for the consideration
exclusively of appeals from orders
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. The court is to consist Of five
judges, to sit in Washington, their,
powers are to be coordinate with
the judges of the federal Cir
cult Court, to receive the same pay
and emoluments, and are to be APP
pointed in the first instance by the.
President for terms respectively OF
one, two, three, four and five years.

succeeded by a designation from the
circuit bench, these and other va
GAMES to be filled by appointment
by the Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court
While the Offices Of the court are
to be in Washington, the regular
sessions are to be held here, provis-
ion is made for sittings anywhere in
the United States. The government,
rather than the Interstate Commerce
Commission. is made the defendant
in all cases coming before the court,
but the commission is permitted to-
intervene, as are other interested
parties. The defense is placed I'M
der the direction of the Attorney Gem
raj, but the commission and inter-
ested parties are permitted to have
counsel and to carry on the suit in
case of the failure of the Attorney
General to do so. Appeal may be
taken to the Supreme Court.

STRIKE ABOUT TO END.

The most unruly day Of the drivers
and helpers strike against the five
transcontinential express companies IN
New York ended with what seeme1 a
trustworthy promise OF peace. A com
mittee representing the employes-not
the union, which has organized and
conducted the strickland the execu-
tive officers Of the five companies met
in Mayor Gaynor's Office late yester'
day afternoon and signed an agree
ment for presentation at mass meet
ing last night for ratification. With
the agreement accepted by the men the
strike will end today.
The agreement in the form OF a
letter to Henry r. Towne, president OF
the Merchants Association, OF New
York, follows; I'VE are willing to
take back our employees who arc on
strike, whether or not they have Joined
a union, reserving the right, however,
to decline to take back any of them,
whether they be members OF a union or
not, who may have committed or in
cited acts OF violence and hostility
against us. "
Those OF our companies whose en-
pIoyees have raised a question concern
ing their hours of employment or rate
Of wages will agree, after the men re-
sumo work, at once to take up these
questions with their employees or with
committees Of them for the purpose OF
reaching settlement which shall be
lust and satisfactory TO both parties,
with the understanding that the former
hours and rates of wages shall continue
in effect un'il December | next, and
that on that date any changes mu-
tuaIy agreed upon shall then become
effective"
The worst Of the trouble yesterday
came not irc m the express employees,
but from tho striking taxicab chauf-
feurs, who went out with them in sym
pathy. They mohbed taxicabs driven
by non-union men and squabbled with
police until it was necessary to threaten
them with drawn revolvers and with
swinging night sticks. Bottles, stones,
bricks and loose ends OF iron flew thick,
and there we're many broken heads, but
only five arrests.
