COMMISSION DECIDES
AGAINST RAILROADS

WASHINGTON, D. c.. SPECIAL
The Interstate Commerce Commission
has decided against the railroads in
the imp,rttnt increased freight-rate
cases that have been pending for sew
er5tl months. The decision of the com
mission is sweeping beyond ali an
uclpation. even by the shippers.
1t declines TO allow q single increase
by the 500 railroads in the East and
the Middle West. 1t throws aside as
unsubstantiated the contention OF the
railroads that they must have in
creased revenues to meet the increased
cost OF equipment and operation. and
10y Its orders cuts Off between $4,000. .
600 and $60.OOO.00O in income which
the railroads had expected to realize
from the proposed increases.
The commission orders the carriers
TO cancel the proposed increases by
March 10th. and notifies them that in
the event of failure an order will be
Issued continuing the present rates
for two years. thus preventing the
carriers from making any changes in
that period.

She DOESN'T FAVOR
BACHELOR TAX

BOST TON. MASS. Special.-Miss
Florence Tuscomb. civil engineer
graduate of Massachusetts Institute OF
Technology. 'Os. one OF the best
known sufIragists OF Boston believes
that women snouid have the same
right TO propose that man has. and
that If IL were always leap year there
would be no necessity for tax on
bachelors.
She thinks. however, that If a bach
elor tax Is 10 be enforced. 1t might
better be $500 a year than IS.
Discussing the bachelor tax and
leap year question. Miss Tuscomb b.
who is a spinster OF twenty-four
says:
Five dollars a year? How utterly
ridiculous. 1t wouldn't keep me in
false teeth. II il were $500 now that
would be something like 1t. That
would be an inducement to stay sin
gle. And really. II would be no more
than fair. as $500 is about what il
costs to keep the average wife. but
can see drawback 10 even that
we'd have TO tell our ages.
Seriously speaking. though, the
real objection to the proposed legiS
lation that II would make Ii harder
for us TO get the equal wage, IL W.
are to be partially supported. Wha'
/ should like to see in place OF pro
posed taxation is woman's wage fcy
bachelors, since they have no family
to support. and by the same token =
mans wage for those women WI,
support their husbands. There cousS
be a sliding scale OF wages accordsps
to the number OF children in the fam
ilY."

TREATY LIKELY
TO MEET DEFEAT
Has Small Chances Of Being Rati-
fied-Objections From
Coast

WASHINGTON. D. c., SPECIAL
The new japanese treaty has small
chance OF being ratified at this ses-
sion.
Western Senators, who were report
ed to have agreed to II, have received
such a volume OF vigorous protests
from the Pacific Coast that they can
not agree to its ratification, without
drawing down on their heads a storm
or disapproval which will endanger
their political futures. Other Sena-
tors are just waking up to the fact
that President Taft and Secretary
Knox, with Senator Lodge as the
pilot, attempted to jam the treaty
through the Senate with such speed
that neither the Senate nor the coun-
Try would have had time to thor
oughly understand it's provisions.
There is considera BILE criticism Of
Knox and the President on this score
LQdBe Is also coming in for a scOr-
ing. Many Senators are not In favor
OF accepting any "gentleman's agree
Hent with Japan in respect to the
restrictions of Japanese Immigration
on the Pacific Coast. They want IL in
the treaty in black and white and
some have already limited at the pos-
sibility OF war with Japan later on
over this one unsettled question.
Others are not willing 10 accept Pres
Ioent Iatts mere word that United
states immigration regulations will be
suIlclent TO keep out a yellow herd
from the Pacific Coast. For these
reasons the treaty will have hard
shedding In the Senate late this ar
ternoon when II will again be consId-
ereo IN executive session.

TWENTY SIX FIND WATERY
 GRAVES IN PACIFIC
SMALL STEAMER SINKS
 ALL ON BOARD PERISH
Unfortunate Passengers Shut in Cabins, Carried Down to Death When FraiI Vessel Founders Off Vancouver.

Victoria. B. C., March 9. = Every person on board the small wooden steamer Sechelt when she capsized off Beachey Head, Vancouver island, during a gale yesterday, perished and ep- parently the sea gulped down every morsel of the vessel.
 1t is not known positively how many persons were on the Sechelt when she left Victoria for Sooke. The prevailing report is that she departed with thirty nine. that that thirteen Of the passengers landed at Williams Head and that twenty-two passengers and the crew of four went down with the boat.
 Of the thirteen passengers who landed at Willaas, Head ten were Greeks and Italians, bound for railroad construc tion camp Paddar Bay. Frank McKennel, aged 21, formerly in the United States navy. also landed at Williams Head.
 The Sechelt after leaving Williams Head was making direct for Sooke. The seas were rnnning high. The wind was biting, hail and rain falling and and a heavy mist prevailed, Con, census of reports it that the vessel W as making good speed when she suddenly swung around into the trough of the sea with her head pointed in the direction of Port Crescent. She hung this way for about SIX minutes, in- clining to her port side, when tie wind appeared to strike her a full broadside. She keeled over and disadpeared almost instant ly Owing to weather conditions. all the passengers were shut up in the cabin and must have been carried below when the vessel foundered. The ship foundered a mile from shore and the intense cold and rough water would have prevented anyone from swimm- ing ashore, even if he had reach ed the surface,
 The vessel, built for fresh water, rolled and was top heavy in the wind. Large gangway ports opened on her cargo deck and it is likely that she lurched over so as to place these ports under water.
 J. 1. Henderson of Cody, Wyo., a railroad lineman, was among those drowned.
