"PANlC, BAD WORD"
PRESIDENT of Wabash Says Railroad
Men Desire to Obey Law.

Chlcago. June CT. A. Dclano. pres-
ident of the Wabash Railroad. one of
ihe railroad presidents who will call
upon President Haft in regard to the
fedcral court injunction against in
u easeS Oh rates by Western roads.
said Yesterday:
20 not IKE to talk panic; it is a
oao word. All Americans are prone to
go Off the handle and there is con-
llhuously condition in this country
OF everybody against everybody else
railroads are up against it pretty
nara and everybody seems against
them, but those in charge of the trans
poltation interests should be the last
10 get excited for by doing so they add
!" the problem rather than help to
solve 1t. The present injunction sa
case IN mind Of one class jumping at
d conclusion and passing by sane
method at their disposal
ne Commerce Commission was Gre
ated by the government as an impair
tial board Of arbitration to hear all
sldos-shippers consumers and rail-
roads. This board is still in existence
ana was ready to have heard any COM
PAINT against the reasonableness or
unreasonableness of rates.
Railroad men want to obey the law.
There is no feeling among them that

Shippers who ask injunctions would
undoubtedly raise an awful roar il
they We're enjoined when they boost

doing it for several years. which has
resulted in an area of high prices of
everything except railroad rates"

Just as arrangements had been com
pleted, Sandford arrived at Jaffa and
persuaded her to retain the money.
Cabled to her for steamer passage, it is
said, and offered her free quarters on
the Kingdom coming back to this
country. She was reluctant at first to
accept, but was advised to do 50 by
Consul Wallace. They left Jaffa about
Christmas time.
Letters from her in the past five
months indicate that the ordeal she was
going through was severe, that constant
urging was being directed upon her to
accept the teachings of the Sandford
following. Her rebellion, as they termed
it, was firm, however, and despite the
unrcmitting efforts of scores of follow
ers to accomplish her conversion she was
still of the same mind. anxious only to
be free once more, to get ashore and
forever away from all that savors of
Sanford.
Since the arrival .of the Kingdom in
this city May $. and while at South Free
port until Friday noon. it is believed that
Mrs. Whitaker has been detained. one
seems justified in saying. as prisoner
as a discipline for her unbelief.
IN response to her appeals for outside
assistance Mr.. Hartman has come for
ward and he made application for Il writ
of habeas corpus. Rufus Whitaker her
brother-in-law. formerly an inmate of the
Shiloh colony in Durham, in this State
is in poor health. and the result of the
potato business last year and this spring
in Aroostook county has made him short
of funds. Someone had to undertake this
action and Mr.. IIarriman's generosity
has begun it.
All the other cOloniStS, returned from
Jerusalem, went to Shiloh three weeks
ago. The yachts have been at South
Freeport until Thursday. when the Cor
onet moved few miles to Il new an
chorage, and the Kingdom joined her
Friday.
Letters which Mrs. Whitaker wrote to
Rufus indicate that her lot has been al
most unbearabe. nearly two wears one
can hardly believe that a religious order
would have any such tactics as she por-
trays.

tically settled tonight that there will
be a conference between the House
ana Senate on the railroad bill Since
saturday last there has been a move
meht on foot to have the House agree

thus avoid conference.
The "Insurgent" Republicans ana
Democrats have been represented as
being strongly in favor of such a
course. The regulars on the other
mana, nave insisted that the bill need
"d smo"! hing out in several particulars.
Pres ldent Tart will probably ask that
the bill be Scnt to conference So that
me section which gives the Interstate
Commerce Commission power to nves-
tlsate and suspend increases in rates
by the railroads may be made effec
tive Immediately and not be affected bv
lie Oo-day clause governing the rest
OF the Dill. This action is necessary TO
carry out the terms of the agreement
reached at the White House tonight
with the railroads recently enioined
from putting rate increases into effect
me railroads have agreed to with
draw al rates until the new bill is
passed and signed. The President has
agreed To withdraw the injunction
SUITS at the same moment If the pro-
VISION should not become effective for
% days, after the signing, however the
adjustment reached at today's confer
ence would be defeated.
