the existing Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
The controversy hinges on the aues-
ton of whether the United States, in
its pledge to treat the ships of "all ma :

Senator Root former secretary of

Hague court would be called upon to
settle the issue finally. if the United

"unjustifiable discrimination" against

les on the Amount of Business
Done.

New York, July 16.-The express
rates prescribed in the report Of the
interstate commerce commission on
express companies will not produce
enough revenue to cover the cost Of
business. according to a statement is
sued today after meeting of express
company officials in this city. In sup
port of this contention it was announc-
ed that the companies would prepare
statements showing what income the
proposed rates would produce on
business actually done. 1t also was
announced that the companies would
adopt the suggestions and directions
OF the commission in regard to "regu-
lation and practice"
The statement, which was given out
as coming from "all the express COM
panies," follows:
The report of the commission re-
lates to rates and practices of the ex-
press companies. The vital thing to
The report recommends basis Of ex-
press rates on zone system which is

present basis Of rates and tariffs.
According to the commissions re-
port it is conceded that the average
net earnings Of the large express COM
panies from present rates is not in
excess of six per cent on the business
done-in some cases even less. The
proposed rates would drastically re-
duce the companies revenue. 1t is.
therefore, obvious that the proposed
rates would not produce enough reve-
nue. to cover the cost of doing busi-
ness, especially as the change in
methods of business to be adopted will
increase the cost.
Fortunately the commission has
given the express companies until Oc-
tober to show whether the proposed
rates should be adopted. The COM
panies will meanwhile prepare state
rates would produce on business ac-
tua'ls done, which information could
no: have been known heretofore by
either the commission or the compan-
les.
THE question of reasona bleness of
the rates is one that will be decided
judiciously by the commission in Oc-
tober. The companies are not antici-
pating any final action by the commits
sion that will be destructive.
UNFORTUNATELY the question of rates
has been up to this time complicated
in the investigation with that of reg
ulations and practices, which the
managers of the companies have been
as desirous of changing as the COM
mission itself. The report contains
suggestions and directions as to these
practices which have been made by
the commission with the full co-opera-
ton of the companies. 1t is the pur-
pose of the companies to adopt these
suggestions and directions and put
them in force with due appreciation

At the outset of the debate in the

declared his opposition not only to the
house provision for free passage of
American coastwise craft but the SEN
ate committees proposed exemption
of vessels of American registry from
tolls where the owners agree to dis
pose of them to the government in
emergencies. He said the United
States had demanded equality of ac-
cess to water ways in other countries
and that there had been an under
standing that the isthmian canal
should be opened free and equal to
all.
He said a clear enunciation Of
American policy was laid down after
a controversy in 1883 when the United
States after threatening retaliation by

THE MORROW CASE
TAKES NEW TURN
Husband Threatened With
Death if He Refused to
Supply Money.

Chicago, July l6.-Mrs. Rene B
Morrow, who is charged with her
husbands murder. listened to testi-
mony today that her husband was
threatened with death by a man who
visited him and demanded money a
week before Morrow's body was found
bullet-riddled and cold on the porch
of their home Dec. rs. 1911. Engi.
neer Henry j. Clark gave the testi-
mony. stating he was present at the
time Of the strangers visit and heard
the threat.
The state rested yesterday. Some
surprise was caused when the state
failed to call as witness Harry Gill
more. former roomer at the Nor
row home, who gave testimony against
Mrs. Morrow at the preliminary hear
ing.
1t was explained that Gilmore was
not called because Judge Kersten had
ruled that the alleged unfriendly re-
lattons existing between Mrs. Morrow
and her husband could not be put in
evidence at the trial.
r. Barrios, gun expert, was the
first witness called by the defense He
expressed the opinion that the revoi-
yer was not more than four inches
from the man when the shot was fired
and his conclusion. based on this opin-
ion. was that Morrow committed sui
eide.
Mrs. Ida Lamson, wife of a wealthy
manufacturer. was called as char
acter witness for Mrs. Morrow.
Several other neighbors also testi-
fled to the defendants good reputa-
ton. Mrs. Morrow expects to take
the stand in her own defense before
the close Of the trial.
