MUST ADJUST ITS
RATES TO INSURE JUSTICE.
Continued from Page one.)

The low rate within the state of
Texas was forced upon the railroads
by the Texas Railroad Commission in
furtherance of policy to protect and
promote the jobbing interests of Texas
The Louisiana Commission and that
states commercial interests declared
that Louisiana was being discriminat-
ed against because of the exaction of
higher rates from Shreveport westward
and demanded adjustment of the rates
The contention of Louisiana were sus-
tanned by the commission absolutely.
The conclusion of the majority opin-
ion is vigorous assertion of the
paramount authority of the national
government over all interstate traffic.
An interstate carrier must re.pect the
federal law, and if it Is also subject to
state law 1t must respect that insofar as
II can without doing violence TO it's ohli-
cations under the national authority. Be-
fore US are carriers which undeniably
Disseminated directly against interstate
traffic. To this charge they plead that
all they have done was to obey the or
ders of a state commission as against
which they We're helpless. They appealed
TO no court for relief, nor to this COM
mission. The Interstate car
iier which adopts a policy, even under
state direction, that makes against the
interstate movement of commerce must
do so with its eyes open and fully con-
sctous of its responsibilities to the fed
eral law which guards commences
among the states against discrimination. .
Commissioner Clements maintains in
his dissenting opinion that the commits
sion has transcribed its authority. Com
missioner Harlan dissented from the ma
Jority opinion on substantially the same
grounds
Commissioner McChord dissents radi-
caily from the majority, intimating di-
rectly that. in view of the approaching
determination of the Minnesota, Ken

Bomb Epidemic
In New York.

New York, March 24.-Notwitb-
standing it has become known that
the police are in Possession of sec
ond bomb mailed to Judge Otto A.
Rosalsky of the court of general SEES
sions. the trial judge in the Brandt
cases, detectives would not disclose,
today, what clues they are working
to solve the two mysterious attempts
upon the life of the jurist
The new bomb, which fortunately
was detected in the mails and kept
intact, coupled with threatening let
tiers sent to Delaney Nicholl. attor-
ney Cor Mortimer l.. Schiff in the case
of FoIke E. Brandt, Mr.. Schiffs for
mer valet, are believed to have en-
couraged the police to renewed efforts
in running down the sender. The lat
est bomb is said to be identical with
that which exploded week ago in
Judge Rosalsky's library while be-
ing examined by an officer.
A Jerk in the postal sub station IL
near Judge Rosalsky's home, discov-
cred a suspicious looking package IN
the mail, last Wednesday. The address
was typewriter on a slip of paper
pasted to the package, as in the case
Of the first bomb. The post once mas
been instructed to scan the judges
mail carefully, and when the suspect
ed bomb was found the authorities
were notified.
An inspector from the bureau Of
cGmbustibles took it in charge and
opened it with such precautions that
an explosion was averted. With the
materials INTACT it was hoped that
some clue to the sender might be
found Post office inspectors were
called upon to help but they are as
reticent as the detectives as to what
progress is heing made.
A list of bomb and dynamite out
yages in New York from July, 1908, to
date show a steady increase, each
year. with grand total of no less
than 102 attempts to take life or prop
erty by such means.

Washington, March 24.-Conficting
claims of the results of the Republic

bureau and the Roosevelt executive
committee, here.
Director Mckinley of the Taft bu-
reau. tonight, issued this statement:
THE latest adviees from Indiana in
dicatc beyond a doubt that the Taft
people control the state convention by
majority of at least $50, and will
send four delegates at large instructed
for President Taft, on Tuesday
March 20. 1t is settled beyond any
question that Taft will have % out
of the 30 in the state. The list and
18th districts have already sent in
strueted delegates and it is absolutely
certain that Taft delegates will be
sent from the md, 3rd, 4th, 9Th, 9th,
16tn and 18th districts.
"The 18th district with it's two dele
gates is conceded to Roosevelt. The
9th. sth and 18th districts are so close
that it is doubtful if the result is
