some day a new depot will replace the

away for several years. The hope is
backed up today by word received
from those in a position to know that
a new depot will be recommended IN

DECISION is VIEWED
WITH GRAVE CONCERN

New York, Feb. 23.-President Daniel
Willard, of the Baltimore and Ohio. said
tonight:
The decision of the Interstate Com
merce Commission is to me somewhat
unexpected. l don't know how the other
railroad men felt, but personally l felt
that We would get part, if not all, of the
increase we asked for. l believed we
need the increase. Either l or the com
mission is mistaken, and 1 hope I'm the
one. If 1 was not mistaken, this de-
cision is a very serious thing for the rail-
roads.
IF 1 was not mistaken, we will now
have a chance to try some of the greater
efficiency methods which were suggested
recently. We have been told to save
money. If We haven't money, we can't
spend il. We can't save and spend at
the same time. To the extent we save,
to that extent we must reduce expendi-
lures.
There are only two ways for us to
save-to pay less for material and pay
less for wages. That means the employ
ment of fewer men. That is our prob
lem. Evidently the commission thinks
We can meet it"
Mr. Willard said it was too early to
say what the Baltimore and Ohio would
do regarding the decision.

might lead to different conclusion. The
conclusion reached here extends. there
fore, no further than the facts upon
which It is based"
Outlook for Carriers Bright.
The opinion in the Western trunk lines
case, which was written by Commissioner
Lane, and concurred in by the other six
commissioners, is an elaborate review of
the railway situation in the United States
and more especially of those in the ter
.ritory west of Chicago. The opinion says
that the outlook for the carriers is de-
cidedly bright and that by reason of the
enforcement of the railroad rate act the
railroads in the past few years have
been protected from each other.
"As a result the report adds. 'ths
revenues of the carriers have increased
and their dividends and surplus have in
creased as in no other period of their
history
In regard to the necessity for main
tanning the credit Of the carriers, the
report says:
There is no better way to measure
the faith of the people in an enterprise
than by discovering how large a volume
of their savings they have been willing
to invest in it,
Figures are then given to show that
the railroads of the United States in
ten years floated mortgage bonds upon
their properties to the extent of 81, 500 000,-
CO.,
These figures" adds Commissioner
Lane, ARE incomprehensible. Our rail-
roads borrowed upon mortgage in one
decade more than twice as much as the
national debt at the close of the civil
war"
Southwestern Rates Sustained.
Treating of six typical Western roads.
the report finds that they have borrowed
over $45OOOO,OOO in the last ten years.
The commission finds that the cost of
materials and supplies has not increased,
that fuel has increased somewhat, and
that wages have increased considerably.
In the Southwestern case the commits
sion sustains advances made about two
years ago to Texas points by the Santa
FNe road and about sixty other roads rep
resented by the Southwestern tariff
committee. The commission orders only
few reductions. the statement being
made that the carriers that were made

parts of the country
The decisions by the commission yester-
| day bring to a close, so far as the COM
mission is concerned, cases that have en-
gagged it's attention for more than six
months. One of these cases, the West
| ern trunk line case, is that in which the
! Attorney General secured his midnight

These are the cases also in which Presi-
dent Taft interviewed and persuaded the

said, amid the laughter of the commit

WESTERN TRAFFIC MEN
ARE GREATLY SURPRISED

st. Louis, Feb. 22--News of the freight
rate decision by the Interstate Commerce
Commission adverse to the railroads
caused CONSERVATION in traffic circles
here this afternoon. All the railroad Off
ctaIs expressed much surprise. They
were not prepared to hear that the COM
mission had denied the rate advances
entirely, but had fully expected COM
promise ruling granting an increase of
not less than 80 per cent OF the tariffs
filed.
A conference of the leading executives
with counsel for both the Eastern and
Western lines, will be called as early as
possible to determine what steps shall
be taken.
The opinion was expressed tonight by
supply men that only the bare necessities
in operation and traffic will be ordered.
Drastic orders for Tetrenchment and cur
tailment will probably follow.

100000 PROVIDED
FOR TARIFF BOARD
Continuation of Existence
Considered Likely.

1t is considered that President Taft has
been fortified as regards the continual
ton of the existence of the tariff board
by the proposal in the sundry civil bill
reported yesterday that the present board
be allotted 100000 as expenses for two
years.
In some quarters ii is thought that the
appropriation signifies that the President
has abandoned hope of the passage of the
measure to create a permanent tariff COM
mission. 1t is asserted, however, that the
proposed appropriation is but a safeguard
and that the President would be quite
willing to accept any other legislation that
would keep the tariff board going over the
coming important period of two years.
At any rate, it is conceded that he has
clnched the services of the board, for
the Democrats in the House, having sup
ported the tariff commission bill, will
hardly offer objection to the plan to con-
tinue the board through an appropriation
The chairman of the tariff board, Hen
ry c. Emery, appeared before the APP
propriations Committee while the sundry
civil bill was being framed. He an
nOunced the pay roll of the boards en-
ployes to be $4,000 a month, and stated
that the members are drawing a per diem
expense of SIS in addition to their sal
aries while engaged in travel. Mr. En-
cry cited instances where it was neces-
sary to pay large sums to experts hired
by the commission.

timony that scarcely any progress has
, been made by the tariff board along the
line of investigating the difference in
cost of production between articles man.

Toa nj lpfu abroad Mr. Emery said
