The Taft Method Gets There.

President Taft is being praised on I
every hand for the quiet, prompt, ef- |
fectual manner in which he prevented !
an icrease in freight rates being car
ried into effect by twenty-four western
railroads. And he accomplished more !
than that, for the eastern lines which
were contemplating an advance in
freight schedules, have since given as
surance that there will be no changes
made until after the railroad bill now
in conference has become law, and
the authority to approve rate changes
has been vested in the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
But of the Taft metho d,the Cleve-
land Leader has this to say:
"The manner in which the attempt
of the railroads to increase freight
rates has been met is a good illustra-
tion Of the Taft method-the process
es which won him such solid success
as a special representative of the Gov
ernment in Cuba, in Panama and in
the Philippines, and as member of
the Cabinet.
"When the western roads gave no.
tice of their intention to raise rates,
he had the Department of Justice en-
ioin them. Then the other railroads
Of the country lined up with those'
first involved, and it appeared that one
of the greatest battles ever fought by
the great common carriers and federal
authority was on.
"But the railroad presidents knew
one thing with certainty; they were
sure they could get a square deal in
1.-The White House. They knew that
President Taft, if he were shown that
the proposed increase was. just, would
stand by them, even if he invited pop
ular censure thereby. So they went
to the White House and talked the
matter over with him.
Zone Of the most important ends
sought by the President in the rail-
road bill which has just passed the
Senate is the empowering of the In
terstate Commerce Commission to in
vestigate proposed increases in rates,
to determine whether they are justi-
fled and will not impose a hardship
on shippers Mr. Taft asked the rail
road men to await the enactment OF
the bill. so that the question now up
could go before the commission for
} determination. So strong is their con-
fdence in his justice and so we'll salts,
| fed are they that the Interstate Com
, Imerce Commission will treat them
fairly, that they accepted. No at
. tempt will be made to put the rates
up until permission is given by the
commission. The Governments in
junction suits will be withdrawn as
soon as the Railroad bill becomes a
: law. Both sides are satisfied, and as
J far as human institutions can be re
} lied upon, exact justice will be done
: both shippers and railroads.
i .'This is the Taft method. It il
= somewhat different from the Roose
7 Lvelt way. But, given time enough, j
may disarm the Presidents most ex
|treme critics.

CHARLTON CASE CONTINUED
Confessed Murderer Stands Good
Chance of Being Released

Jersey City, July 10.-A further ad-
jOurnment of the hearing of Porter
Charlton in the court of oyer and
terminer to Aug. II forecasts an early
ending of the case.
The papers demanding Charlton's
extradition to Italy to stand trial for
killing his wife at Lake Como have
not been received, and unless the state
department at Washington takes some
action within the next few weeks
Charlton will be discharged from the
custody of the Jersey court. Charl-
ton is held on a sixty day warrant and
the time will expire on Aug. %.
Should italy demand Charlton's ex-
tradition the state department will re-
ject the demand unless Italy agrees in
the future to urn over to us all Ital-
ians who have committed crimes in
this country and then fed to Italy.
+ This Italy, 1t is understood, will de-
cline to do.

NOT A SUICIDE
Lawyer Says Lyman School Boy Met
Death at Hands of Others

Boston, July 11.-Declaring that
John Newman, whose body was found
in the detention pen of the Lyman
school on June 6, was not a suicide,
but had come to his death at the hands
of others, Jeremiah S. Sullivan, coun-
sci for the Newmans before the legis-
lative committee inquiring into the
case, issued a statement wherein he
sums up the case.
He declares hat the blow that
caused the d~iscoloration on the jaw
was sufficient to cause unconscious
ness, therein contradicting the opinion
of Medical Examiner Magrath. He
expresses the opinion that the blows
upon the body had been administered
to the lad while in the detention pen,
and the assailant, believing he had
killed the lad, tied the sheet about the
boys neck in order to give the i'm
preston that a suicide had taken
place.

BROOKINS' THRILLING TRIP
Breaks Worlds Record In Flight Elk
ceeding Mile In Height

Atlantic City, n. j., July IL
Walter Brookins in a Wright biplane
broke the worlds record here when he
attained a height of 6175 feet. He used
his last drop of gasolene at his highest
altitude and was still climbing when
his engine missed explosions. The
aviator brought his machine back to
level to get the last drop of fuel out
Of the storage tank to reach the line
of vision of engineers on the beach.
Reaching the imaginary line, Brook
ms started to glide to earth, and his
engine stopped entirely when he was
at 5000 feet and still over the ocean.
His circling glide to the beach, which
the crowd believed to be a bit of fancy
flying, was done to save himself from
diving into the sea.
officials gave 6175 feet as the exact
height of the flight. By his feat
Brookins wins the $4,000 prize offered
by the Atlantic City Aero club for
breaking the worlds record, unless a
higher altitude is reached here before
the end of the present meet.

FAMOUS AS AVIATOR
Baroness de la Roche Meets With
Serious Accident at Rheims

Rheims, July 10.-Baroness de la
Roche was badly injured here by fall
ing from a height of 100 feet. The
baroness had flown around the field
once at a height of 260 feet, when
suddenly in front of the applauding
tribunes she appeared to become
frightened and confused at the ap-
proach of two other aerOplanes.
She started to descend, but while
still 160 feet from the ground lost con-
troll of the machine. The aeroplane
turned over and fell like a log. The
baroness legs and arms were broken.
While ~momentarily conscious the
baroness explained that the rush of air
from a motor passing over her head
had frightened her. She cut the igni-
ton and lost control of her machine.
The baroness was one of the pio-
neers of aviation. She had also
driven mOtOrboats in races and auto
mobiles at exhibitions and as soon as
flying became practical she learned
how to manage the biplane.

The Salmon Proves That she
Is a SedWOrthy Craft

Hamilton, Bermuda, July 1.-THE
United States submarine boat Salmon ,
which sailed from, Quincy, Mass, on
July 5, arrived here Sunday.
The Salmon encountered a rough
sea on Thursday and Friday, but suf-

marine for long ocean voyages.
The distance between Quincy and
Hamilton is about 800 miles and the

tween six and ten knots an hour. The
seaworthiness of the little craft was
proved to the entire satisfaction of
the representatives of the navy aboard

SHILOH FLAGSHIP AT SEA
"Elijah" Sanford Evidently Trying to

Portland, Me-, July 11.-From this

suits against him, he will be a man
without a country. His yacht, the
Kingdom, is outside and is beyond the
three-mile limit, but in the event of
a great storm he must put to sea or
come in, accept service and give
bonds. 1t is believed that he is get
ting ready to transfer the %headquar-
ters of his movement from Maine to
some foreign possession.
II has been some time since he held
personal sway at Shiloh and it is be-
lieved here that if he is kept from re-
turning to the place where he claimed
to have received many revelations, his
movement will rapidly come to an
end.
Attorneys for Mrs. Whitaker are
watching for Sanford to land to make
personal services on him in suits.

SAYS JEFFRIES
Concludes That He Is Too Old
to Fight Any More
He AT LAST BREAKS SILENCE

Says He Could Not "come Back" and
Has No Excuse to Overwhelming to
Story That He Was Doped-Did Not
Want johnson to Throw Fight-ln
Bad Shape Mentally as Well as
Physically
Los Angeles, July thames J..
Jeffries submitted to his first inter-
view here since the fight at Reno on
the Fourth.
So persistent were the demands for
an expression of opinion from the
beaten pugilist that his friends let
down the bars and let the
men see the ex-champion. The first
question asked was whether it was
true that he wanted another fight with
Jack Johnson.
No, Pm through fighting, ;" he said =,
mumbling. Il fought once too often
as it was, and 1 guess they'll let me
alone after this. l might have beaten
Johnson six years ago, but l don't be-
lieve l ever could again.
Il have no to make. l
couldn't come back, that's all there is
to it. 1 don't want to fight johnson
or anyone else again."
The interviewers were warned by
Jack Ripper, his partner, to expect
q much br,icod n though KiDDor
said that he was now greatly improved.
This is the first day since the fight
that Jim would speak to any of us,
even his wife, +" said Ripper.
But Jeffries is in bad condition
mentally as we'll as physically. He
hesitated in his speech and stopped in
the middle of sentences, as if hunting
for his thoughts. His face is still
puffed up abnormally and he hears
with difficulty. He has great trouble
with his speech also, and at times
gave up entirely without trying to
finish his sentence.
How about that story that you
were doped, Jeff" he was asked.
Nothing to it.; I was not doped. No
one could have doped me. Someone
said that the dope vas rubbed into
me, but that is not so. Not a nan in
my camp would do anything to injure
my chances under any conditions.
THE trouble with me was that !
was almost broken down %nervOusly
and didn't know it. | guess it had
been coming on for a week, but !
didn't know it; 1 thought I could fight.
| thought l could beat Johnson when
I stepped into the ring, but couldn't
get into action at all. | guess I'm too
old to fight any more"
Jeffries said all this hesitatingly,
shaking his head at times like an old
man. His hands trembled all the time
as if he had the palsy. When he was
asked about Tex Richards statement
that he had the fight in his pocket
with signed contracts two days before
the bids were opened in New York, he
1ared up and answered shortly:
What has that got to do with it!
You had your fight, didn't you?"
Then he was asked about Johnson's
statement that he was offered huge
sums of nancy to throw the fight.
why should l ask Johnson to throw
the fight? I felt sure 1 could lick him
until after we had fought two or three
rounds. l don't believe there is any
thing in it,"
Jim was on the verge of a nervous
breakdown" said Ripper, when he
entered the ring. He may have beer
doped, but he thought that all his
friends had bet their money on him
and the fear that he had not come
back, as he thought he had, had more
to do with his losing that fight thar
anything else, in my opinion"

46 DEAD IN
IOWA WRECK
END NOT YET
(By United Press Leased Wire)

(By United Press Leased Wire)
DES MONIES, March 22.-Bessie
Servis of Washington, Iowa, died in
Ia hospital at Marshalltown today.
She was injured in the Rock Island
wreck near Reinbeck, Iowa, yester-
day, and her death brings the total
list of dead up to 46.
Many of the injured in the hos
pitfalls are declared ,oday by attend
ing physicians to be in critical con-
ditions.
1t is blieved that some OF them
cannot survive.
An investigation of the Rock ISL
and wreck will be undertaken by
the state railroad commission. The
railroad officials, who have car
ried on an investigation of their
own, have not announced the cause
of the accident.
MarshalltOwn, where the dead and
injured were taken, are crowded
with wreck victims. All of the dead
and injured were residents of the
middle west, and every train is car
rying anxious people there in an
effort to identify the victims. Most
of the dead have been identified.
The wreck occurred when a
double header Rock Island passen-
ger was derailed on the Chicago
Great Western tracks, which were
being used on account of a block
ade on the Rock Island tracks.

STEPHENS WORKED FOR
PEOPLE AND RAILROADS
Attorney in Famous Rate Case Drew
Up First Franchise for the
North Coast.

the position of Mr. Stephens is that
he held it was futile for individuals
to try to protect their rights under
the common law, as he suggests
should be done in the franchise en-
forcement of terminal rates. The
following is from Stephens brief
filed before the interstate COM
merce commission:
THE passage of the amended in
terstate commerce act is a finding
and determination by congress that
necessity existed and now exists
therefor; that great abuses of COM
mon law rights have been indulged
in by common carriers. and that the
only way to protect the people, the
public. and their rights, is by regu-
lation of rates through the inter-
state commerce commission.
Congress, after almost unsuffer-
able delay. finally crystalized its
concurrence in the idea of the fulfil
ity of individuals attempting to pro-
tect their rights. under the common
law"
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1910-03-22

For four years n. M. Stephens,
the attorney, has been in the en-
pIoy of the taxpayers and CONNER
ciaI bodies of Spokane as attorney
in the Spokane rate case before the
the interstate commerce commits
sion. For this service in the four
years he has drawn something like
$4,000.
Today it was learned that while
Stephens was at work for the peo-
pie he also took employment with
a rairoad-the North Coast-and
that he drafted the original fran
chise of the road that was submit
ted to the Spokane city council,
which he is now seeking to have
amended by the insertion of the ter
minal rate clause.
In the franchise drawn by Ste
phens for the North Coast at the
time he was in the employ of the
people there was nothing said about
terminal rates.
Another fact has developed about
