In an address before the Finance Forum
of the West Side Young Mems Christian
Association last night William c. Cornwell.
of J. s Bache & Co, said the action of
the President and the Attorney General in
seeking to enjoin the Western railroads
from increasing rates was an attempt to
draw attention from the administrations

He condemned the Sherman antitrust
law and declared that what was needed
was a business mems party, which. car

ciples. would hold the balance of power
against politicians bent only on building
up their own selfish interests and blindly
sweeping the country toward destruction.
IF attacks on railroad and industrial
interests continue he said, we must be
prepared for a renewed setback In bust

out Of this. hut with the Sherman law
hanging over US, the deadly hostility of the
administration against business progress

Mr.. Cornwell said that If the government
were a business institution. controlled by

would have been applied to devising a

MAY ASK A REHEARING
Railroads and Shippers Want 1t in
Missouri Rate Gases.

Washington. June with the probabil-
ity Of two more members being on the
bench next October. the railroads between
the Mississippi and Missouri rivers and
shippers in the central freight territory
are said to be preparing to ask for a re-
hearing of the Missouri River rate cases.
decided yesterday by the Supreme Court
Of the United States in favor of the In
terstate Commerce Commission. The de-
cison supported by only four mem
bers Of the court. and If a rehearing could
be had that number would not be suffi-
cient TO Oyerrule the district court. which
held the rates invalid
The order OF the court putting the re-
duced rates into effect will be held thirty
days to allow the roads TO file an applica-
tioA for a rehearing If this is done. the
application cannot be passed on until next
October. BY that time Governor Hughes
Of New York will have taken his place on
the bench and Justice Moody may have re-
sumed work. In these two members the
roads see some hope OF a rehearing.

MUST PRODUCE LADY COOK
Tennessee Clafiin's Sister Makes
Charges Against Her Friends.

Declaring that Lady Cook. pioneer in the

Tennessee c. Clafiin. was being deprived
of her liberty by John Floyd Hume and
his wife Mrs. Mabel Hume. at their home.
No. 10 West 61st street, Miss Mary Spar.
a sister of Lady Cook obtained a writ of
habeas corpus from Justice Mccall yester-
day. directing that the Humes produce
Lady Cook in court forthwith.
Mrs. Sparr says in her petition that her
sister who has had an exciting and spec
tacular career. is an old woman and feeble
She states on information and belief that
Mr.. and Mrs. Hume intended TO separate
Lady Cook from her family and friends
and that they intended to obtain possession
of the old woman's large estate. Mrs
Sparr alleges that Lady Cook, not realizing
the consequence, of her acts and not being
of sufficiently strong mind TO Withstand
the influence and power of Mr.. and Mrs.
HUME, had already given them money and
documents of hich she does not know the
contents Mrs. Sparr also alleges in her
petition that the persons TO whom the writ
was directed intended to spirit Lady Cook
out of the jurisdiction of the court.
John Floyd Hume who is a copy reader
on a local newspaper. said last night that
N1illard +. Sparr, the petitioners son, who
is Lady Cooks business manager, had
pointed out to his mother that she was in
error, and that Mrs. Sparr had consented
to withdraw her action when it comes up
in the Supreme Court to-day. Hume said
that papers to that effect had been signed
Hume added that Mrs. Sparr and Lady
Cook have not been on good terms and that
Lady Cook has refused 10 SEE her sister.
He ridiculed the charges made by Mrs.
Sparr.
1t was also explained that Lady Cook
had made her home with the Hume family
when in New York for several years. Mrs
Hume has accompanied her on several trips
to Europe Lady Cooks estate is said to
be entailed under the laws of England, so
only these persons entitled to inherit 1t can
receive any part of it.

bash and a close associate OF Edwin Haw
ley and X T. Yoakum. said:
1T would have been better-decidedly
better-if the administration had not taken
sides in the matter of increased freight
rates. This matter should have been left
TO the determination of the Interstate COM
merce Commission on application OF ship
pers. That is all I care to say on the sub
ject although 1 may add that there is no
doubt railroad rates throughout the coun-
try are low-entirely too iow-in many
cases"
Many railroad men took the view
that shippers generally did no. object to
an increase in freight rates. though ii is
understood that the governments action
was taken at the request of the Western
shippers associations. The Wow of rail
road men here was supported by John g
Eames. vice president Of the II. b. Clafiin
Company. one OF the largest clippers of
drygoods in this country. Mr.. Eames saia;
There is no reason why shippers should
offer any great objection 10 the railroads
increasing their freight rates as long as no
discrimination is practised. Both passen-
ger and freight rates are lower in this
country than in Europe. and the advance
which was contemplated was not an ex-
orbitant one. AS long as the increase is
an equitable one. there is no cause for the
present violent agitation. which is likely to

REVISED BOOK OF PSALMS
Adopted by Presbyterians After Bitter
Opposition.

Philadelphia, June IA revised book OF
Psalms was adopted at to-day's session Of
the General Assembly of the United Pres
byterian Church. after a spirited discus
sion.
The Rev. w. A. Campbell, of Mercer.
Penn. led the opposition 10 the revised
book. He said he had expected the re-
vision committee to give the Church the
best version of the Psalms the world has
ever seen in point of faithfulness and lit
erary merit but, he added. they have
given us the worst version that has ever
been seen.
The book shows" he said, that il con-
tains limitations that our fathers condemned
for nearly two hundred years as human
hymns, and 1t also contains free render
inEs that are nothing but human hymns >"
The question" said thu Rev. Mr.. Camp
bell is shall we reject these new psalms
and live as a psalm-singing church. or
shall we adopt them and become a hvmn-
singing church, and thus one of the
noblest psalm-singiHg churches pass out of
existence"
In conclusion. he said that If the new
version was adopted no good reason could
be given for remaining separate from the
PRESBYTERIAN Church.

RAIL ROAD STOCKS HARD HIT
Severe Break on N. Y. Exchange
Following Federal Injunction.

During the greater part OF yesterday s
session the stock market was In a state
of dernoralization more serious than had
been experienced for several months, with
the railroad issues the chief sufferers The
break which followed the overnight news
that the government had secured tenn
porarv order restraining the proposed ad-
vance of freight rates by twenty-five roads
of the Middle West was a continuation OF
the decline of Tuesday. resulting from the
announcement of the intention OF the ad-
ministration to take legal steps against
the plan of the roads, but was much more
severe.
Declines of 8 to points were suffered by
many railway stocks. an extreme loss OF
~ points being recorded for st. Paul; and
a number of issues. among them Union Pa
cific Southern Pacific. Atchison, Great
Northern and Northern Pacific, touched
new low levels for the year. Total sales
were 1906. 800 shares or nearly double the
transactions of Tuesday.
Short selling of the railroad list was
conducted on a heavy scale during the
early trading. and there was also apparent
extensive liquidation that in st. Paul being
said to be partly for account of interests
which had acquired large amounts of the
stock in connection with recently closed
for placing $1,000. 900 debentures
in France. On the way down many in
sufficiently margined commission house ac-
counts were closed out, their aggregate be-
ing large enough to figure as a factor in the
decline.
London was a purchaser on balance TO
the amount of $1,000 or 6O0O0 shares, princi-
rally of Steel common, and this buying
was during the morning hours almost the
only steadying influence. the only other
buying demand being represented in the
covering of shorts in various stocks Steel
common. in which the sales were nearly
100000 shares. was the only important issue
in which support was evident during the
day. 1t opened at 1885, and reached its low
of 7S1s little before noon.
In the late trading good buying orders
were put in by banking interests, and this
movement, supplemented by covering of
short contracts, caused substantial rally.
final prices of active issues being from
to points above the lowest. although
showing net losses for the day of from 1
to points Two notable exceptions were
St. Paul, which closed Ga points lower than
on Tuesday, and Steel common. in which
the net decline was only a point.
The severity of the decline induced by the
