President Taft Back

Cheerful and apparently none the worse for his 2000 mile trip to Ohio and back, President Taft arrived in Washington late today Secretary Hilles met the Pres ident at Baltimore. They went imme- distely from the union station here to the White House, where much important business awaited the President. He has the vacancy or the supreme court bench, one on the circuit bench at Chicago, a few other judgeships, the ambassador shin to France and many other matters to decide probably within the week.
 The President came by special train from Pittsburg to Harrisburg and slept fo. several hours after leaving the west ern Pennsylvania city. His cold is much improved. It was said that MT Taft probably would be as fit as ever in a few days more.

Prosecution Indicated

Prosecution of express companies for over charging shippers was indicated by Commissioner Lane at the express rate hearing today to be the intention of the interstate commerce commission. W. A Ryan, one of the investigators for the commission, presented the examina- tion of one months business of the Adams Express company, showing that S67oo0 in overcharges had been turned into the oompany's treasury.
 T. B. Harrison, counsel for the company, explained what are known as lover pay ments,e and asserted that he would be able to show that not more than 20 per cent of the S67,O00 actually remained in the company's treasury. He added that positive instructions were given by tne company to all it's representatives to make refunds on all discoverable over charges.
 well" said Commissioner Lane, it is concusively established that the agents of the companies themselves do not un- derstand the tariffs and regulations of the company. By an examination of the business of the company for one day, we find more than 5000 over-charges. Now, then, we propose to prosecute the companies for making these over charges. They are clearly violations of the law
 Comparative Tables Mir. Ryan presented comparative tables Of the operations of express companies in Great Britain, France and Germany. and those of the United States They showed, generally, that for similar serv- ice, weights and distances the foreign rates were considerably lower than those in this country.
 Representatives of the companies point ed out that the express business of the United States was carried either on fast passenger trains or on special express trains the matter of speed and expedi- ton being given greater consideration In America than in Europe.
 The testimony and figures thus far pre- sented by the commissions investigators tend to indicate a belief on their part that the companies should adopt a flat rate applicable to various zones, to be established either voluntarily by the eom- panes or by order of the interstate com- merce commission.

Republicans Confer

As a result of a conference of re- publican senators at the capitol imme- diately after the adjournment of the Senate today the republican view of the tariff situation will be presented 10 the Senate and to the country at large in connection with the House bill reVis- ing the metal schedule. The meeting was attended by most of the fepub- lcan members of the finance committee and also by other republican leaders. No insurgents were present.
 The first move in carrying out the programme will be meeting of the finance committee tomorrow. The full committee will be advised of the de- sire of the republicans for the general hearing on the bill and it is believed democratic members of the committee will offer no objections. While no ef- fort is made to name time, il Is gen- erally believed the hearings would begin next week.

No Decision on Steel

No effort was made to decide whether the republicans would present substi- stute for the Underwood steel bill or content themselves with a direct effort to defeat that measure, but il is believed that there will be substitute, as tie ad valorem system which eharaeterlzes it is not acceptable 10 republican sen- ators generally. With the bill once in the Senate, whether on favorable or an adverse report, the purpose is to dis cuss it at length so as to present all phases of the republican side of the tariff question.
 Senator LaFollette was among the re- publican member of the finance eommt- tee absent from today's meeting. He was not in his seat in the Senate and as the meeting was a purely informal one. and not confined to the committee, no surprise was manifested at hls ab- sence. Much interest Is felt in his attl- t,1de on the tariff, but the republicans have a majority of the committee with out him.
