Chicago Board Of Trade VIII
Amend Its Rules.

Chicago, June 9-To put the Chi
cago board of trade in line with the
laws of Illinois the directors adopted
resolutions amending its rules elm
mating trading in indemnities.
An indemnity is what the general

and calls and the recent decision of
Judge Mack of the appellate court
gave the board a black eye because of
trades originating on privileges, in
the suit of Nash, Wright G. Co. against
Daniel w. Wright to recover $4,000
losses made by the latter In his spec

ago.
President A. s. White said that the

In privileges.
Members of the board will continue
to trade in privileges, the same as the
last forty years, until the vote Is

Criticise Party Members Who Fail to
Support Policies.

Milwaukee, June 9.-With praise for
the Republican party, and especially
the national administrations of Theo-
dore Roosevelt and William Howard
Taft. and a ~ebuke to men elected
upon party tickets who use their office
and ability to hinder, impede, delay
and defeat party legislation to make
political capital for themselves, Mich
ael e. Dillon of Ashland sounded the
keynote of the Republican state con-
vention as temporary chairman.
Political parties, he said, must out
line their policies and when a major
ity of delegated individuals agree upon
those principles it is the duty of men
elected TO Office by that party to aid
in carrying out those policies.
Emanuel L. Philip, chairman of the
executive committee, in opening the
convention also criticised party mem
bers who failed to work in accordance
with party policies.

RAILROAD HEADS
APPEAR HAPPY
Pleased Over Outcome of
Conference With Taft.
CAUSE OF CHEERFULNESS

Suit Instituted by Government, Later
Dropped as Result of White House
Meeting, Alleged Conspiracy in Re-
stralnt of Interstate Commerce and
Caused All the Excitement In the
Railway World.
Washington, June 9-Among sena-
tors much curiosity was expressed as
to the basis of the cheerful satisfac-
ton displayed by railroad presidents
over their agreement with President
Taft regarding increased freight rates.
"The railroad presidents are happy"
said one senator who has studied the
railroad bill closely, because they
have in all probability obtained what
amounts to an amendment to the
Sherman antitrust law They tried
hard to get such provision into the
bill, in the section legalizing rate
agreements, but the fire was so hot
that the sponsors for the bill were
obliged to eliminate 1t. Neither the
senate or the house would stand for
such encroachment on the Sherman
law. Now the railroads seem to have
won their greatest desire by negotia-
ton.
The government did not sue the
railroads on the charge that they had
raised rates. The charge was that
they had violated the Sherman law by
combining to raise rates and thus
forming conspiracy in restraint of
interstate commerce. That was the
cause of all the excitement In the
railway world, not the prospect that
their new rates would be held up for
a while.
Under the arrangement entered
into, as it is generally understood, the
increases will be subject to the ap-
proval of the interstate commerce
commission. but no question will be
raised as to the legality of the action
of the railroads In having a common
agent file rates uniformly increased by
many lines with the interstate com.
merce commission. II was in the
matter of acting together, rather than
the question of rates that the rail.
