LAIRD DEFENDS PENSION
Carnegie Tells Why He Would
Provide for Ex-Presidents.

The smile which wreaths the face OF
Andrew Carnegie. the happiest man on
earth" was absent for a while yester-
day, when the Laird OF skibo learned
that there had been adverse criticism OF
his proposal TO award a pension OF So,"o
a year 10 all future ex-Presidents Of the
United States who would avail them
selves of the opportunity.
II was Mr.. Carnegie's idea that some
thing should be done FOR the men who
had held the highest position In the gift
OF the people, and as Congress had never
made provision for Presidents who had
seen service, he thought that some one
should take the initiative.
The following statement was given out
yesterday at Mr.. Carnegie's house:
The special provision for ex-Presidents'
pensions was created by deed Of gift,
January 10, l9i2-nearly year ago.
No body of men VIII he 50 happy as
my trustees and myself IL tho founding
Of the pension for future ex.Presldents
and their widows. until the nation makes
suitable provision for them. induces Con-
gress TO do so. That this might be tho
effect OF the provision was not absent
from their minds.
We are the greatest OF all pension-pay-
ing nations, and yet We exclude the holder
Of the highest position on earth. exer-
cisIng the greatest powers. and one sell
dom, II ever, occupied by men OF inde-
pendent means. We should do 80 no
longer
Further than this Mr. Carnegie would
not be quoted.

COAL TO CANADA STOPPED
Railroad Refuses to Let It's Cars
Cross Northern Border.
rBy Telegraph to The Tribune. ]

Ottawa, Nov. pa car embargo by
the Delaware & Hudson Railway Com
pany, notice of which was received here
to-day, puts Eastern Canada face to face
with a serious situation in regard to
coal supply.
The Delaware & Hudson, over whose
lines most Of the coal consumed in this
part OF Canada reaches the border, an
nounces that the Canadian railway lines
TO which the coal cars are transferred
on reaching this country are not prompt
~ returning the empties and therefore
no more cars will be released for trans
port from United States points. This
embargo. the Delaware & Hudson says.
will continue until The missing cars are
sent back.
The Railway Commission has not yet
received notice Of the embargo, but ac-
cording to one Of the officials, as soon
as formal complaint is made steps will
be taken to compel the Canadian lines to
show cause why the cars should not be
Immediately returned. The commission
apparently has no power to prevent the
application OF an embargo by an Ameri-
can line, but may remove the cause IL a

COAL RATES UNDER FIRE
Reading Attorney Tries to Mix
Mr.. Bells on Figures.
[By Telegraph to The TrIbune

Philadelphia, Nov. 22-The Tong and
short haul custom of freight charges
was discussed to-day at the hearing on
coal rates before the State Railroad Com
mission. Harry E. Bells, the ststisticIan
who figured out for the commission yes
terday the exact cost OF carrying coal.
was on the stand for cross-examination
by Charles II. Heebner. attorney for the
Philadelphia & Reading Railroad Com
pany.
Mr.. Heebner asked many questions de-
signed TO show that the Reading was
justified In charging a smaller freight
rate on anthracite coal to other cities
by water than 1t charged to the citizens
OF Philadelphia, because the business at
the Readings Port Richmond piers helped
TO build up the city. Mr.. Bells finally
said he thought Philadelphia, because of
It's proximity TO the coal fields. should
take advantage OF II to get all the bust
ness II could.
Mr. Heebner tried to make the witness
say that last years earnings on general
merchandise, ss-lo mills, ought to be
taken into consideration. Mr.. Bells said
OH DdslS the IcNcuuc
rate on anthracite coal would be reduced
from TO mills, and. finally, after con-
sidering a back haul to about 4. He
said, In answer 10 Commissioner Penny
packer, that the rate per ton per mile"
on general merchandise was greater than
that on anthracite coal-about mills a
mile.
Mr. Bells estimated yesterday the prot.
on a specified train OF coal at sl.67l. He
had based the cost on the railroads re-
ports statement that operation cost GA per
cent OF the gross revenue. To-day. Mr.
Heebner. reviewing that statement said:
Are we 10 understand that that Ssh
which you give as net profit is what you
are 70 allow 10 stand against the other
IS per cent?"
What other IS per cent?" asked Mr..
Bells.
why, the other IS per cent Of the cost
OF bringing such train here"
WELL" said Mr.. Bells slowly III you
want the people OF Philadelphia to be-
lisve that II cost 100 per cent OF the gross
revenue TO bring train of coal down
herein other words, that you bring
train OF coal here for nothing, so long rs
II meets the expense OF transportation
then I should say yes TO that"

President who would accept such pen

PLAN DENOUNCED
Pittsburgh Newspapers Bitter
Against Carnegie Proposal.
(By Telegraph 20 The Tribune.1

tBy Telegraph TO The Tribune.1
Pittsburgh. Nov. 22.-"The Leader" says
editorially to-day:
Andrew Carnegies proposition to pen
sion eX-Presidents OF the United States u
the worst insult that could be offered 10
the American people. II the WORKING
men OF Homestead and Braddock VINO
| suffered privaton while Carnegie was be-
ing enriched had received their just dues
Carnegie could not now be Haunting his
exaggerated fortune and his abnormal
ideas in their faces. The insulting inso-
lence OF wealth and the depths of de-
graded servitude can go no further than
this Carnegie pension"
On the same subject THE Chronicle
Telegraph" says:
Mr.. Carnegie's offer is evidently not
meant to be accepted II goes without
saying that Colonel Roosevelt, now the
only ex- President living. and Mr.. Tart
who will be on the retired list after
March 4 next, will not submit TO be en-
rolled az Carnegie pensioners. Protes'
sor Wilson may be otherwise disposed
II may even be taken for granted that,
since at the outset of his campaign for
President he made application for car
negie pension as a superannuated peda-
gogue, he will not when he becomes a
Buperannuated President be averse TO
the receipt OF q much larger stipend
from the same source.
AS TO the actual necessity and propriety
OF pensioning exPresidents, that Is a
matter on which there will be wide
difference Of opinion.
THE Press" has this TO say:
II our ex-Presidents are .pensioned az
all Il should be by the people and not by
any great corporation mulu-mlllonaiIt'
s,Ich as Mr.. Carnegie. The people are
rot always convinced that Mr., Carnegie,s
