Be Behind Belgian Loan.
In Connection with This Matter Tang
Shao vi Is Becoming Unpopu-
lar in North China.

London, April 2.-Dispatches from
Pekin state that Russia is attempting
to make loans to China and that it Is
believed that she is behind the Bel

In connection with this the opposi

increasing in the north of China, the
belief there being that the alleged Bel,

her in making individual loans to the
Chinese authorities.

trary, they were given in an earnest,
and natural manner worthy of all

First Case Sent up Is Decided
against 1t.
KNOWLEDGE NOT REGULATION
Supreme Bench Gives Signal Victory
to Interstate Commission In
Decision Involving Rail
Reports.

Washington, April 2.-The supreme
court has reversed the first decision
OF the court of commerce to be pre-.
scented to it for review.
The highest court gave a signal vic.
tory to the interstate commerce com.
mission by deciding that it has the
power to compel water lines to report
to it regarding intrastate as well as in.
terstate business.
The court of commerce has been
subjected to sharp attack in congress
because of series of decisions over,
tn ming work of the interstate com.
ncrcc commission and a bill for the
adjustment of the tribunal is now
pending in the house on a favorable
report from committee.
While the case before the court con
cerned Immediately only water lines,
the government attorneys declared, in
their argument, that the defeat of the
commission in this case would mean
that railroads also need not report re-
garding eintrastate business and the
commissions whole system of gather
ing reports relative to commerce
would be worthless.
The orders in question required re.
ports regarding operating expenses
and operating revenues of water lines,
and affected principally lines on the
great lakes. The Goodrich Transporta.
ton company is one of the concerns
involved
The commerce court held that the
commission had power to require re.
ports only regarding traffic carried un.
der Joint arrangement with railroad
carriers, but not as to purely intra.
state and port-to-port business.
Justice Day said a mistake had been
made by the commerce court in con.
fusing knowledge of intrastate com
merce with regulation of it. He said
It was within the power of the com
mission to require a Showdown OF
the whole business" intrastate as
well as Interstate. Justices Lurton
and Lamar dissented.
