WlCkERSHAM TELLS HOW HE PREPARED SUITS
 AGAINST RAILROADS
AoTney General Today Sangne Over Success of His Suit
 to Prevent Freight Rate Increases

ce1ved a number of telegrams and Congressman D. H. Hubbard of Sioux City, Ia., called upon me and gave me my first comprehensive view of the situation.
 T at once perceived that the pro- posed action of the railroads was sub versive of the interests of the public ana l immediately took steps to bring an injunction suit.
 T engaged MT. Judson of St. Louis as special counsel by wire. He is well qualified as an exeprt in interstate commerce law and has written books upon the subject. I spent Friday even Ing, Saturday and part of Sunday in preparing bill of particulars asking for the injunction and procuring form the interstate commerce commission aff1davits to show that the proposed tariffs had been filed and. that each of the railroads had designated MT. Hosmer as their agent to file then, with the commission.
 With these documents in hand I found that the government had good foundation upon which to build it's suit. I dispatched Assistant Attorney General Grosvenor on the midnight train on Sunday to St. Louis with in- structions to bring suit Immediately.
 When I received the delegation from Omaha on Monday I would not tell them what I already kenw was dlfdlu lHdI representatives or one of the railroads involved would ap- proach the judge and argue with him to the effect that this was a novel proceeding and that a hearing should be held before the injunction was granted.
 Secrecy was absolutely essential in my opinion for the success of my campaign. That the news leaked out as early as it did yesterday was due to the fact that MT. Grosvenor and MT. Judson filed the suit in St. Louis about noon and then withdrew it on finding that the judge was in Hannibal hO1dino oO11rt

New York, June 1.-The action Of the government in applying to the courts to prevent the proposed raising land manipulating of freight rates Icaused a near panic today. The stock market opened with most pronounced ,pressure Prices sold off during the tnrst hour from to 6 points with no evidences of support from the big bull Headers.
 One of the features of the demOral1- ration on the exchange was the trans fer of certain bull leaders to the bear side. These men were those who for the most part have been consistent bulls ever since the spring of 1908 but who were inclined to believe that rail- road earnings would suffer through the governments action.
 The belief has been general that the increase in freight rates would not be linterferred- with. Prospective earn tings had been figured on the basis of Ithe advance and the fact that the increases must be held up struck the market leaders in very tender spot The entire railroad list was under pressure St. Paul was offered in such quantities that it dropped 6 and 1-4 points within 50 minutes after the market had opened and the usual SUD- port was absent.
 An element of pronounced weakness in the situation was the presence of steep selling orders in profusion in the market and commission houses were selling from the opening. The lonly important buying in the market came from short covering and there Twas not enough of this to influence rprices greatly.

 Washington, June 1.-Attorney Gen. eral W1ckersham Is sanguine today over the success of his suit to pre- vent the railroads from putting into erect rate increases which they had announced to become effective. today. but which were blocked by the Fed era1 action at Hannibal Mo.
 Attorney Wickersham, today, issued statement in which .he said that he was convinced, last Friday, the pro- posed increases were stsubversiye of the interests of the public" He said he began work on the suit Friday but that he considered the utmost secrecy necessary for the success of the un- dertaking. He sent Assistant Attorney General Grosvenor west at midnight. Sunday.
 From the statement of the Attorney General it appears that he had already started the machinery of the depart- ment when he heard the arguments afternoon. At that time he said. "It seems to me you gentlemen have waited until the last minute to de- mand that I take action. You can not expect me to bring a suit in Chi cago or some other city in the west upon such short notice, can you?'
 It was observed at the time that Wickersham was in a peculiarly .iovial frame of mind. He smiled and talked about the tasks being imposed upon him, that they were much at sea and left the department in grave doubt as to whether they had not arrived on the scene too late.
 '"The first intimation that I received upon the subject said Wickersham today, was a single telegram last Thursday evening just before I was leaving the department I paid but little attention to it because it was unsupported. But on Friday I re-

Jovia as Ever Today, Despite Unusually Severe Criticism of English Press on His Speech Telling John Bull to get
 Out of Egypt
London Papers Devote Columns of Editorial and News Matter to Roosevelt Some Using His Own Big Stick on the For eT President, and All Calling Into Question the Proprety of His Bold Ueances On the Street Within "A Hours the Colonel is Shattered as the American Idol of the English P0puace

Edward have the London papers played Up a story both editorially and in news way, as they have RooSe- velt's speech. Naturally the con- the Liberal and Radical, inasmuch as Roosevelt's views are paraphrase of their own. The Express, Telegraph Mai, Fest, Standard and Times are almost forced to approve of the speech.
 agreeing with his views, doubt the prcpriety of his utterances.
 Roosevelt must not be surprised says the Times, should unpleasant manifestations occur due to the sensi- tiveness to his criticism regarding which 1t is probable the Colonel had not reckoned."
 The News concluded contemptuous- ly by denying the validity of Roose- velt's claim to first hand information after such hurried tour of Egypt
 Roosevelt's plea against sentimen- tality furnishes the Leader with a good laugh and it refers to the Col onel as "the greatests modern senti- mentalist." ~
 The Chronicle considers Roosevelt's s outspokenness a compliment to Ang- lo-American solidarity and advises England to take no offense, ''even though the speech did outrage every conventional canon or official and in ternational propriety.
 If the street opinions are a criterion Roosevelt is far less "a popular idol today than he was 24 hours ago. Whether England liked the speech apparently made no difference to Roosevelt today for he. was hustling about in his usual jovial mood. He was the guest of honor at g. luncheon by the Irish Nationalist members of parliament. Luncheon was given at the Carleton House and presided over by John Redmond, the Nationalist leader. s
 Colonel Roosevelt did not accept any of the numerous invitations to attend the Derby, at Epson Downs, preferring to spend his entire time in the halls of the National Gallery. He was ac- companied by Cecil Spring Rice, British minister to Sweden and formerly Brit ish Military Attache at Washington.
 Roosevelt goes this evening to Wor- pledon to visit F. c. Selous. the noted hunter who was with his party in Africa.

BURGLARS THUNDER
 MILLINERY STORE
 OF COSTLY GOODS

Burglars thoroughly familiar with the millinery business made a clean up of nearly $1, 900 worth of the choic- est of the merchandise in the store o1 c. I. Cziller, a milliner. at 7O5 East Main street, during the night, leaving the store upside down in confusion and discarding all stock that was not es- pecially valuable.
 The police went to work on the, case early this morning, promptly upon MT. Cziller's discovery of the wholesale footing of his establishment but the burglars had vanished leaving no clue behind. The only hope the police have now is the appearance of some of the stolen stuff for sale, but they believe the thieves are not so clumsy as to offer their wares in this vicinity, and they depend upon the authorities of other cities to help ferret out the criminals.

 The store is situated on the west side of East Main street, between Sterling and Clarence streets. and it occupies a considerable floor space, with big display windows on East Main street. The burglars must have spent hours in their task, for the shelves, closets, work rooms and even the display windows. were thoroughly overhauled.

 London, June 1.-Members of the that Colonel Roosevelt's speech at Guildhau in which he rebuked Eng lands administration of affairs in Egypt will greatly increase the diffi- lculty of dealing with the delicate poli- stical situation that confronts England lin Egypt
 of Roosevelt's visit, by reason of his Impeachment by President Taft to rep iresent the United States at the fu- neral of the late King Edward, Eng nish off1cialdom will make no com tment for publication regarding the bspeech. But nothing could be palmer fthan that the leading politicians fear that Roosevelt's bold utterances will lact as a fuse that will retouch off an lexplodon in Anglo-Egyptfan rela- .tions. There are constant compari- sons today between Roosevelt's speech and the Lord Sackville-West incident when the British representative to the United States was dismissed. It lis not ccntended that the cases are ,parallel but it Is insisted that Roose welt has been as guilty of breach of official propriety.
 Today criticisms of Roosevelt in- tcrease in severity. The Daily Graphic lreminds the Colonel that "even Socrates was poisoned for giving too smuch advice"
 The Manchester Guardian voices @ scummon criticism when it says that !~Eoosevelt's statements are based on misleading evidence. It terms his tviews 'muddled and boyish." ''The speech was we'll meant but it twas wholly unnecessary and is cal kculated to complicate further the diff Efcult problem in Egypt" says the Westminster Gazette.
 Ever. the Evening Standard con- sservative paper, after referring in lfriendiy tone to Roosevelt, declares his laying of hands on England's Eprivate political subjects seems at First glance a social crime little short sOf sacrilege."
 The Pail Mall Gazette says that f"Roosevelt prefers the realities to the lproprieties."
 The Globe treats the speech in a ,jocular vein and agrees with Roose- welt. Not since the death of King

the torn frames were strewn about the floor and trampled under foot.
 From the shelves box after box o1 trimming was hauled down, the con- tents dumped out, and the choicest taken off, while that which was not considered so valuable was left about the counters and shelves. Yard after yard of silk. boxes filled with valuable lace. expensive beads and dozens ot fine plumes were taken.
 It was noticeable that the burglars discarded all materials that would prove bulky and the police believe that with several suit cases they could have carried away all they took. for the plumes. lace silks and ornaments, closely packed, will easily crowd into a. small space.
 When MT. Cziller unlocked the front door this morning he was thunder struck to find the place appearing as if a cyclone had swept through it. It took but moment to discover that many valuable hats had been disman- tied and quantities of the more valu- able trimmings had disappeared. He promptly called up police headquarters by telephone. and the detectives at once went to work
 The police say that the only similar case on record in this vicinity occur red in Waterbury. several years ago, where another big millinery establish ment was footed in about the same manner. The robbers covered their tracks so we'll that they were not cap tured.
 MT. Cziller set to work this morn Ing to inventory his stock that he might have a list of the lost articles for the police to spread broadcast about the country. In this way it is hoped to obtain some trace of the missing goods. MT. CziIler could not accurately estimate his loss but thought it would be little short of s1,- 900. The Cziller store is one of the leading millinery establishments of East Bridgeport.

 Today

Passengers who use the New York boats had a double complaint to make today. The first objection generally heard was to the increase in rates. The single fare has been raised 20 per cent, from 50 to 60 cents. Large signs at the dock announced the un- welcome news.
 Passengers also complain because they are being landed near South ave- nue, instead of at Fairfield avenue as formerly.
 The boats between Bridgeport and New York are operated by the New England Navigation Co. a company subsidiary to the New York, New Ha- ven & Hartford Railroad Co.,
