THORNE STARTS
ROW AT MEETING

Chicago, Jan. 30.-A wrangle marked
he meeting of railroad commissioners
Of seven states and Chief Examiner
George N. Brown, Of the suspension
committee Of the Interstate Commerce
commission. here today, when a new
tariff schedule created by railroads In
western states came up for discussion.
The railroad commissioners finally left
the meeting because, according to a
statement they issued later, the chief
examiner had '~prejudiced the case" Of
the shippers.
Trouble started when Commissioner
Clifford Thorne, Of the Iowa board.
asked Brown to recommend a To-day
suspension of the new freight schedule
of the roads, which is to go into effect
February Is, pending the preparation
Of the commissioners attack on the
new rate. insufficient time has been
given the commissioners to protest
against the new rates, it was said.
Request Is Denied.
Brown firmly refused to grant the
request. The following commissioners
are lighting the freight measures:
Clifford Thorne, Iowa; George A. Hen
shaw, Oklahoma; i. c. Robinson, South
Dakota; j. A. Little, North Dakota; ].
Hedlund, Texas; e. E. Smith, Kansas.
and II. N. Bradbury, Missouri.
The statement says:
1.-The chief examiner has prejudiced
our case. We regret to find this Sit
uation and wish he could have awaited
until he had heard our reasons for
asking the suspension of the entire
classification.
This classification the railroads have
proposed raises the freight charges on
$50 subjects between all points in
American west of the Mississippi river.
It has beer estimated that there are
2 5000 towns In this territory. One
half of them probably are of minor
Importance. That means more than
5000, 900 raises affecting Chicago alone.
The same is true of Kansas City, Des
Moines, st. Louis and every other point
west Of Chicago. Think Of the vast
territory affected and the millions OF
rates involved.
Time Is Too Short.
1--WE received notice of this change
December 80. They go into effect
February Is. 1t would be a physical
impossibility for any man or board OF
men to check this thing over to as
certain the actual effect OH traffic.
1.-THE result is a few men will present
a few grievances. The great shipping
public and the consumer Of the coun-
try will not be heard. All we ask is a
suspension of the whole schedule for
120 days as contemplated by the act 10
regulate commerce."
Much objection has been made to the
new schedule because OF the raise on
AGRICULTURAL implements, farm machin-
ery and accessories. The commission
ers planned to hold another meeting
late today to decide on their future
course.

FIGHT With MILITIA
Lawrence Operatives Try to
Prevent Non : Unionists
From Working.

Lawrence, Mass, Jan. 30.-Serious
rioting occurred today when a crowd
OF strikers attempted to prevent oper-
atives from entering the various textile
mills to resume work. In many cases
the strikers were successful and the
mills that ~reopened were able to operate
only on a greatly reduced scale. Sew
eral persons were seriously injured
during the trouble.
The rioters held up some 20 or more
electric cards headed in the direction
of the mills, forced the passengers to
leave the cars and then assaulted them
In the belief that they were strike
breakers. Bottles n lumbs Of ice
were thrown in the car windows.
The rioting began an o u before the
time for the opening of the mill gate.
The mob was composed mostly Of
foreigners and many were women, who
cheered the men on to violence. The
police were powerless to end the dis
orders.
Entrance to the mill district by the
marchers was prevented by the militia
stationed in streets bordering the mills.

tence was recently committed by Pres
ident Taft, left the army hospital at

hospital where he spent so long a time
after his transfer from the federal pris-
on would aid in his improvement.
II was the first time in more than two
years Morse escaped the eye Of govern
ment officials. Most Of that time he
spent in the penitentiary. About two
months ago he was taken to the mill
tary hospital. Since his freedom was
given him two weeks ago he has re-
NAMED in the hospital, too Ill to be
moved, according to his doctors.

NUMBERS FOR WESTERN
LEAGUE BALL PLAYERS

Denver, Jan. 29.-It Is not unlikely
that the Western league at its coming
schedule meeting, February 8, may
adopt the scheme of numbering the
baseball players, each player having a
numeral on his sleeve corresponding to
his number on the score cards.
Opposition to this plan may be en-
cCuntered from some Of the old timers
among the club m~agnates, but this will
probably be overcome when they are
shown that the numbering OF players
will greatly increase the sale Of score
cards.
