| CASES AGAINST A. F. OF L.
LEADERS TO BE PASSED ON
Agreement Entered Into Does Not
Bind the Court

WASHINGTON, July 2O.-Until Of
ficials of the department of justice
have communicated with Attorney
General Wickersham, now on his way
to Alaska, no announcement Will be
made here concerning the procedure
which may be had in the pending pros
ecutions Of officials OF the American
Federation of Labor, growing out OF
their troubles with the Buck Stove &
Range company Of st. Louis.
Notwithstanding the agreement
reached in Cincinnati last night by
representatives of the federation and
the Stove Foundries National Defense
association to end the warfare, no
assurances were forthcoming that the
cases against President Gompers, Vice
President John Mitchell and Secretary
Frank Morrison for contempt Of court
would be discontinued
These cases are pending in the United
States supreme court. 1t is pointed
out that. while the contempt proceed
ings were pushed by the attorneys of
the stove company, which has now
withdrawn these legal representatives,
the case has gone beyond them and
the issue is at present one of national
law and the dignity of the courts.
Secretary Morrison of the American
Federation of Labor and one of the
defendants in the contempt cases pend
ing in the supreme court, today said
the peace pact with the stove COM
many would not affect the judicial pro-
ceedings against the labor leaders.
THE supreme court" said Mr. Nor
rison, will pass on the question
whether the labor men or the in
ferior courts were In error as to who
violated the constitutional provision
guaranteeing free speech and free

GASOLINE CARGO BLOWS
UP; VESSEL DESTROYED
Naval Station at San Juan Is
Barely Saved

SAN JUAN. Porto Rico, July 20
The American marines at the naval
station here had a lively time today
with a cargo of gasoline that, in turn,
blew up a coastwise schooner and all
but burned up the naval station.
The vessel, bound for Ponce with
1000 five-gallon cans of oil, was NOV
ing out of the harbor when an explo-
sion in the hold blew most of her load
into the water and setting the craft
afire forced the crew to jump over
board One of the sailors was injured.
The first excitement over the marines
attempted to salvage the gasoline and
by hard work recovered many of the
cans.
These were placed on the national
station wharf, where presently a sec
ond explosion occurred, and the quar-
tersaof the marines were wrapped in
flames. The marines manned the
pumps and finally saved the buildings
from destruction.

SUSPEND FREIGHT
RATE INCREASE
Railroads Voluntarily Hold Up the
Proposed Advance Until
November
tAssociated Pressl

WASHINGTON, July 20.-Important
advances in freight rates recently made
by the railways in eastern classifica-
ton territory will be suspended Volun-
tarily by the railroads until November
1 next. This agreement was made by
a committee representing the carriers
and by Chairman Knapp of the inter-
state commerce commission.
Chairman Knapp authorized the fol-
lowing announcement concerning the
voluntary action taken by the rail-
roads:
"It being understood that the COM
mission would exercise its authority
under the new law and suspend all
general important advances made for
the purpose of increasing of revenue
the principal carriers in official classl-
ication territory, through a committee
appointed for that purpose, proposed
today voluntarily to postpone the Ell
fective date of such advanced rates
until November / next, and an ar
rangement to that effect was made
after a conference with the committee
"This will not delay investigation ana
decision as to the reasonaplenesS Oh
the proposed advances, but Will opVl-
ate the necessity at this time LOT
numerous suspension orders WHICH
otherwise would be made
1t is not unlikely that similar ar
rangement may be made between the
commission and the carriers in the
western trunk line association terri
tory. Such an agreement, it is be-
lieved. will be reached before the and
of the present week. The carriers have
taken this attitude in order to tacllltate
the work of the commission and to
insure speedy consideration of the
tariffs to be suspended. 1t is the pur-
pose of the commission to take up for
hearing the proposed advances as early
as possible in order that the matters
at issue may be determined If circum-
stances permit, prior to the nrst or
NoYember.

Answers Questions Concerning
Earnings, Mileage and Hold
ingS in California
VALUATION METHOD IN DOUBT
Proposal to Separate State and
Local Taxes Touched on
at Meeting
Associated Pressl

SACRAMENTO, July 20.-Santa Fe
tax representatives were before the
state board of equalization today to
answer questions relative to the rail-
roads report on its earnings to aid the
board in arriving at an estimation OF
the company's holdings in California
In its report that railroad stated
that it's earnings in California in 1905
amounted to $13,04S, ,003.54 and that its
mileage in this state is 12S7S9.
At the present time it is up to the
state board of equalization to deter
mine what method of finding the val
uation of the railroads property il
shall use. but two methods are IN
vogue. One, favored by some members
of the board, would give $4,000, O0l
more in the sum of earnings than the
method used by the railroad company
During the meeting the proposed con-
stitutional amendment which would
separate state and local taxes was re
ferred to. State Controller Nye wanted
to know what check the state would
have to guarantee railroads would give
correct reports of their earnings In
case the amendment is adopted. The
amendment provides a specific method
of arriving at the assessment Yalua'
ton of railroads.
Professor Plehn, tax expert, and Tan
Agent A. P. Maglnnis of the Santa Fe
thought any Justification in reports
from the railroad could be detected
by an expert accountant.
The Santa Fe reported that in
freight revenue it took from Califor'
MIA in 1909, $3.50. $685., or $66S5.76 pei
mile, and in passenger revenue $3,4l4,-
1852, or $26511S per mile. But the
revenues for 1909 were not so great
as those of previous years. said AgenI
Maginnis, largely because the orange
crop of the south was 1000 cars short
To show that the Santa Fe has moi
been over-assessed by the state boaro
of equalization, State Controller Nyt
cited the following example:
The California property of the Santa
Fe is bonded at 1000 for each mile
plus $4,000 per mile representing value
of stock issue, totaling valuation oi
$4,000 per mile. If the go per cent
method of assessment were used this
would place an assessed valuation OF
S33, 500 per mile. As matter of fact
the Santa Fe is assessed only $4,000
per mile, or As per cent, Nye declared
The board also heard today the Salt
Lake railroad, which runs between
Salt Lake and Los Angeles. Tomor-
row the Pullman company will be VI
for q hearing.

command of the investigation of his
death from the start. A number OF
detectives from a private agency We're
summoned hurriedly to Winnetka early
today. A number of these were sta

DETECTIVES CLASH
This system was further complicated
when a, squad of employees of a second
private detective agency arrived at
Winnetka. These men stated they had
been ordered to make a full inquiry
into the death.
They visited the village police head
quarters, talked with numerous resi-
dents of Winnetka and for time II

ennDlov of members of the Rawn fam
iIy. But when they went to the RaWn
residence they We're repulsed by de-
tectiyes from the first agency and We're

a brief alteration ensued and mem-
hers of the Rawn family were called
to settled the dispute. Mr. Coburn ahd
Mr.. Brinkley told the second squad
they were not wanted at the residence
and had not been ordered.
1t is not known who is responsible
for engaging the second detective
agency.
For a time it was rumored that in
surance companies carrying risks on
Mr.. Rawn's life for 100000 were the
employers.
This report, however, was denied
It was then stated that the detectives
had been employed by railroad inter
ests.
Several neighbors in the vicinity OF
the Rawn residence state they heard
a single shot close to 10 O'Clock on
Tuesday night No one has been
found who heard a short Wednesday

the alleged murderer of Mr.. RaWn and
that an arrest would be made tomor-

Ting the trouble between the fedora
tion and the Buck Stove and Range
company at Cincinnati, arrived mere
this afternoon.
"The agreement reached in Cincin-
natl" said Mr.. Gompers, "can have
no effect on the case against myself
and other officials of the federation
now pending in court. 1 would not
have the case withdrawn if 1 could.
1t is a principle we are contending
for.
I'VE did not, however, want the at
torneys of the Buck stove and Range
company to appear against US, now
that our disagreement has been settled,
so that paragraph about the dismissal
was inserted"
