will be confined necessarily to the
increased rates. The Interstate Com
merce Commission, of course, has no
authority to deal with changes in IN
trastate passenger rates, and tTese
will be taken up wit hthe Virginia
State Corporation Commission.
When the hearing is held the matter
of the merger undoubtedly will be
prominently brought forward. for, &C
cording to the conviction of all, 1t
will be alleged that the increase in
rates between WashinFton and Alex
antria is due to the formation OF 6
monopolistic combine. The commits
sion can then probe as deep as 1t
cares to in the circumstances attend
ing the merger, although it can take
no action respecting the merger but
only as respects rates charged by the
combine or it's constituent companies.
As reported yesterday the Cham
ber of Commerce is also deeply inter
ested in fighting the new rates and at
Monday nights meeting appointed its
board of directors to act with their
transportation committee in handling
the matter, A meeting of this commit
tee will be held act an early date.

THEIR SECRET PLANS.
Attacks on Letter Boxes in London
and Edinburgh-Sufra&ette Charg-
cd With Arson.

London, Dec. 1S.-London today
was holding its breath, waiting and
wondering what the sutfragettes
would do next. Something more vio-
lent than the letter box mutilations
and false fire alarms was expected
following the declaration Of Mrs. Pc
thick Lawrence that the women must
prepare for destruction. AT meet
ing Mrs. Lawrence said:
"The women must prepare to smash
and be smashed even if their bodies
do suffer. in the cause of votes for
women"
With three suffragettes appearing
before magistrates for trial, the mill
tants t..lay continued their letter.

men say will happen along about
Christmas.
After a few days lull, in which the
police and the firemen had rest, the
letter-box attack was resumed lnky
fluid being poured into pillar boxes
at the stock exchange. Similar Incl
dents were reported from Edinburgh.
A case pending before a magistrate
today was that of male suffragette,
who was accused of setting fire to a
railway carriage.

Richmond, Dec. 1S.-Joseph ID. Eg-
gleston, State superintendent of puo-
lie instruction for Virginia, has been
offered and will accept the position IF
chief or rural division of the United
States department of education.
Mr.. Eggleston, who has been away
from Richmond for nearly a week,
was in New York when news Of the
appointment reached him, but in |
telegram to Secretary Stearnes yes
terday afternoon he stated that he eX-
pected to reach Washington at &
o'clock. Last night in telegram =
q friend in Richmond Mr.. Eggleston
made it plain that he would accept
the position as soon as his successor
could be selected. The later telegram
was sent probably after Mr.. Egg!eS-
ton had conferred with DR.. z. r
Claxton, commissioner of education
who made the appointment.
1t is presumed that the board vii
be called together at once to sug-
eest to Governor Mann Mr.. Eggles-

be little doubt but that r. c. StearneS

board for a number Of years have
been invaluable, will be recommend

pointive power in this instance, and

FAVOR LIQUOR BILL.
National Anti Saloon League Leaders
are Jubilant.

National Anti-Saloon League lead
ers in Washington, in connection with
the debate in Congress over the Ken,

of liquor from "wet" into "dry' terri
tory, last night were in high hopes
that the measure will pass the Senate
when it is put to vote. This conf
dence was based upon assurances, es-
pecially those of Senator Thomas S
Martin, Democratic leader Of the Ser.
ate, made to the different State anti.
saloon leaders.
Senator Martin also expressed the
opinion that the Supreme Court woul;
pass upon the constitutionality of thu
bill. He frankly told the Virgins
prohibitionists that the bill is being
endangered by it's friends in the Sen
ate who are wasting time in splitting
hairs over some of it's technical fea.
lures.
The ti-saloon leaders said if the!
got favorable action in the Senate they
believed the pressure would be to-
great for THE House to resist, and thu
committee would report out the bill
and the House would pass it.
The Kenyon bill was placed on th'
calendar in the Senate. A vote is eX
pected on it before this session O.
Congress adjourns.

usual last night according to the
keeper in charge of the prison sec
ton where ne is located. At 7:30 this
morning the roll call showed that he
was not in the ranks. The night

Governor is Expected to Meet Will
liam Jennings Bryan in New York
Next Week.

New York, Dec. 18.-Probably nc
public utterance since the administra-
tion of President Abraham Lincoln
has stirred business and political cir
cles as has the simple declaration OF
President elect Woodrow Wilson to
the diners at the Southern Society
dinner late last night that he will pill
lory through public opinion creators
of financial panics. 1t was'accepted
everywhere as the last word of the
soon-to- be head of the nation to the
big financiers who have been manipu-
lating the securities and money mar
kets ever since election and who, ii
is alleged, forced the price of cali
money up in an effort to force the Sec
retary of the treasury to deposit mil
lions with the banks for crop moving.
There was no doubt that Governor
Wilson meant what he said. He had
put public opinion as a weapon to the
test as governor Of New Jersey and in
his opinion the results had been benfic-
ial in that it had enabled him to Sc
lect popular choice United States
Senator and put through the legisla-
ture many progressiv laws. And he
has told personal friends that he in
tended continuing this plan in New
Jersey. Following are some epigrams
from the speech:
"The time has come when men must
stand up and be counted"
1--WE must forget everything except
THE work for the prosperity and integ-
rity of the nation"
"Some men have had the idea that
they have been appointed trustees to
do the thinking of mankind and the
building-up of wealth in conformity
with their own plans and purposes" ."
,"God knows the poor suffer enough
now but their emancipation will come" ."
prosperity cannot be consumed
privately by the few"
al have been told the machinery was
in existence by which panic can be
brought about. Personally don't
believe the man lives now who dares to
use that machinery. If he does. l
promise him, not on my own behalf,
but upon the behalf of my country, Il
gibbet as high as Haman's.'
It was. accepted that these states
ments outlined the new policy of the
incoming administration. And while
opinions differed as to the measure OF
success that the wilson administration
will have it was considered certain
that he intended if possible to steer
clear of the professional political ele-
ment during his four years in office.
The governors will meet William
Jennings Bryan in this city within the
next few days.
