CHICAGO. May 3.-Every demo
cratic member OF the State Legisia-

terrogated by the grana lary regard
ing the narrative of Charles A. White.
VINO alleged that he was given $l,0uU
to vote for Lorimer.
A desire TO get full control of the
spot light has resulted in differ
ences between states Attorney Way
man. of Chicago. and States Attorney
Burke. of Springfield, that may ham
per the Investigation. MIR. Burke to-
day iourly accused Attorney Wayman
of trying to hog all OF the graft
busting" glory and declared that II
Wayman tried to keep White in Chi
cago he would issue a writ OF attach
ment and take the accusing iegtsla-
tor to Springfield to tell his story.
White went before the Cook county
grand jury to complete the story he
began yesterday. He was subjected
to a severe cross questioning by the
members of panel who compelled him
to tell all of the details over and
over again. Following White, the
grand jury expects 10 cali the demo-
Gratis who made Lorimer's election
possible.
The grand jury has decided. TO
widen the scope Of its investigator

WASHINGTON, d. c.. May a.
Driven to the wall and forced to sue

their time dominating tactics. en-
tered the fight for the Taft Elkins

heavy sacrifices In an effort to save
at least a. shattered remnant OF the
measure.
Senator Aldrich and his cabinet of
about ten leading Republican Sena-
tors are busy devising means Of re-
treat The section of the bill designed
to give railroads authority to enter
into agreements AZ to rates and clas-
sifYcatf0ns was abandoned.

sue OF railroad stocks and bonds by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
to initiate Investigations on its own
complaints; making II obligatory upon
railroads 70 quote rates correctly to
shippers and providing for sixty day

FOREsTALL BILL
BY RAISING RATES
Railroads Taking Advantage of
Supposed Present hamper on
Interstate Commission.
MAY BE BADLY FOOLED
Pending Law Says Increase May
Be Suspended Until lnvesti-
CATION is Made.

WASHINGTON, May with the
news tina, passenger rates. as well as
freight tariffs, are to be increased by
the railroads. the suggestion came
from official sources to-day that per-
haps an effort is being made to fore
stall the bill pending In Congress.
At present the Interstate Commerce
Commission cannot protest against
increased rates until they go into ef-
feet. Then only. upon the complaint
Of shipper or passenger can an in
yestigation as to their reasona uleness
be made. Under the pending law, as
proposed, the commission may sus-
pend increases until an investigation
is made As none of the increases
now on file Is effective before June /,
Il Is possible that the commission may
yet have authority to act in advance,
II II desires.
Following the recent example of the
Boston and Maine railroad. the New
York, New Haven and Hartford road
has notified the Interstate Commerce
Commission of it's intention to exact
larger returns from its passenger traf-
fic. Prices of through tickets between
New York, Boston and Providence are
not changed by the new tariffs nied,
but the rates to practically evry point
to New England will be increased.
ticket now costing rs cents after June
| will cost so cents over the lines OF
this road and those for longer dis
fances will be raised proportionaliy.
Although none of the Eastern roads
have yet filed with the commission
increased freight tariffs, rates in East
ern territory will be affected by the
action Of the roads Of the Western
Traffic Association operating between
Chicago and st. Paul In advancing
commodity charges. Many of the
rates through to the Atlantic seaboard
are based upon those fixed by the
Western roads. and the whole coun-
try will soon feel the effect of the
new adjustments.
