PROBABLE EFFECT
In FREIGHT RATE CASE
Spectators Have Assumed a
Waiting Attitude Until Re-
suit Is More Clear.

NEW YORK. June 1.-The speculation
in securities today showed Il disposition

created by the injunction against raising
western trunk line freight rates. Tho
new measure inaugurated by the depart
ment of justice remained the central topic
OF discussion. but that discussion showed
a cropping lack OF clear conception of the
proper significance to attach to the mat
ter
On the part of the stock market oper-
atoIS and TO some extent of railroad Of
1cials. there is heard some criticism OF
the western trunk line committee for the
methods they pursued in seeking the rate
advances which have been enjoined. The
TACT that one agent was used by all the
railroads in filing notices Of the advance
Is cited almost a challenge TO the gov
ernment authorities TO test the prohibi-
tion OF rate agreements in the antitrust
law
IL is supposed that the advocacy of an
amendment TO authorize agreements by
the administration emboldcned the rail-
roads to attempt this test of the ques-
ton. Meantime the rejection In congress
OF the proposed authorization OF railroad
agreements on rates left ii practically
mandatory on the law officers TO take up
tho challenge There is a conviction
among railroad men that the law requir
ing the filing of rates which il is held
must be uniform, in the nature Of the
case ana the law against agreement on
rates are conflicting and irreconcilable.
II the present action shall result in re-
solving the anomaly it VIII be welcomed

also Of proposed heavy reduction of work

supposltion was that he had money.
He would make occasional visits to
Salt Lake and his acquaintanccs be-
lievcd those trips were made to deposit
money. as there was no reason to be-
llevc they were madc to take part in
the excitement of city life. Whether
he ever told anyone that he deposited
money in Salt Lake. seems to be un-
certain.
Mr. G-out was found dead In the
fall of 1901. in his wagon at Lake
Shore where he had cainped on a re-
turn trip from Eureka No papers
cvidencing possession of money were
found so far as known. His remains
were brought to Provo by p II. Bees
ley, and he was buried as an honor
ably discharged soldier under the pro-
visions OF the state law. Thomas John
was appointed administrator OK his cs-
tate. which consisted. so fur as found,
of his team and wagon and q few other
personal effects all OF little value.
They were disposed OF ana the pro-
cecds applied TO the payment OF some
small! dcots.
The theory of Mr. Smith is that there
WIS money deposited somewhere In
Salt Lake and thnt 1t is there yet or
has been drawn out by some unau-
thor.zcd person who had knowledge of
its existence and devised a means OF
getting possession OF 1t.
