HARD BLOW TO
THE GOVERNMENT
Powers Of Commerce Commits
sion Limited.
SUPREME COURT TAKES HAND
In Decision In Rate Case Involving
the Validity OF An Order, Trio
bunaI Defines the Hep
burn Law.

Washington.-The government, On
behalf of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, met defeat at the hands
of the Supreme Court of the United
States in It's attempt to establish in
the commission right to make rates
without substantial evidence being
presented at hearing to show the UNI
reasonableness of rates about to be
replaced.
At the same time railroads Of the
country won an important point when
the court decided that in making rates
the commission could not rely upon
information gathered in Investigations
by the commission, but must base
them upon evidence presented at a
hearing where the railroads would
have an opportunity to present its
side of the controversy.
\ In thus limiting the power OF the
commission the court declared that
the question of whether any sub
stantial evidence had been presented
in a case was one of law for the
courts, such as the Commerce Court,
to review and was not entrusted ex-
clusively to the commission.
Justice Lamar announced the
courts decision in case involving
the validity OF an order reducing class
rates from New Orleans to Alabama
cities.
He quoted the governments posi-
ton that the Hepburn law, in provid-
ing that rates should be set aside il
after hearing the commission should
be of the opinion that the charge was
unreasonable, meant that the com
MISSIONS findings as to unreasonable
ness of rates was not subject to re-
view by the courts.
The Justice in reply pointed to that
clause in the law which required q
"full hearing" to be accorded, and the
universal course of decisions in this
country that an administrative order
by the government was void If issued
without q hearing or II the hearing
was inadequate or unfair.
He stated the governments further
contention that Congress required the
commission to obtain information to
enable it to perform it's duties, ana
that, therefore, when 1t issued an or
der it was presumed to have obtained
information to support its findings
"Such a construction" said ting JUS
tice, would nullify the right to
hearing-for manifestly there lis no
hearing when the party does notNknow
what evidence is offered or considered
or is not given an opportunity to test,
or explain, or repudiate it. The in
formation gathered may be used as
the basis for instituting prosecutions
for violations of the law and for many
other purposes, but is not available as
such in cases where the parties are
Dntitled to a hearing"

MONEY TRUST REAL MENACE.
TWO Leading Bankers Tell Why 1t Ia
Dangerous.

Washington. Liberty Of individuals
to concentrate money and power to
the limit of their ability was advo-
Gated before the House Money Trust
Committee by Jacob H. Schiff, of the
New York banking firm of Kuhn, Loeb
& Co.
Mr.. Schiff declared that individuals
should be allowed to exert their ut
most efforts to concentrate fortunes
and power until the laws Of nature
caused the attempted monopoly to
fall Of its own weight" He was
opposed, however, to concentration
through corporations and holding COM
panies. Mr.. Schiff could not say
whether concentration had as yet
reached point where it was danger.

lowed George M. Reynolds, of Chicago.
on the stand. Mr.. Reynolds told the
committee that he had studied the
concentration Of money and credit and
that he believed, at the point it had
now reached, it was "a menace to the
progress Of the country" He said that
competition in banking should be re-
vived.

.FOLKE {. BRANDT
GETS PARDONED
Sentence Of Schiff's Former
Valet Called Excessive.
SENATORS PLEAD HIS CAUSE
New York Governor Explained That
Brandt Had Promised To
Lead Better
Life.

Albany, N. Y.-Governor Sulzer has
pardoned Folke. E. Brandt, former
valet of Mortimer L. Schiff, the New
York banker. on the ground that
Brandt's sentence Of 80 years for
burglary was excessive.
AT the request OF Governor Sulzer,
Attorney General Carmody made a
statement, in which he said he favored
Brandt's pardon, mot as matter Of
mercy, but as a matter OF justice"
He criticized the procedure through
which Brandt was tried and sentenced.
Mr. Carmody declared that the Gov
ernor's action wiped out a blot on
the judiciary Of the state" and show
ed "that there is nothing that can
defeat the ends of Justice"
United States Senator Knute Mel
son, of Minnesota, also made speech,
in which he characterized Brandt's
sentence as judicial tyranny.
The Governor explained that Brandt
had promised to lead a better life if
released from prison, and added that
Mr.. Schiff had declared he would not
oppose Brandt's application for
clemency unless it was based on
"scandalous and malicious state
ments." Earlier in the day Senator
Nelson had conferred with the Gov
ernor in Brandt's behalf, and Brandt's
counsel had presented petitions from
AZ state and national Swedish so
cieties urging Brandt's release
1t was stipulated by Governor Sulzer
in pardoning Brandt that he is not to
accept theatrical engagements and
must not in the future reflect upon the
character of anyone.
Senator Nelson volunteered to take
Brandt to Minnesota and, at the sug-
gestion Of the, Governor, Brandt ac-
cepted the offer. He plans to accom-
pany, the Senator to Washington be-
fore leaving for the West.

HOME RULE BILL

Fate Seems Sealed In House

Redmond Says Measure Will Become

Present ParIia-
rtfent.

London. After long, stern battle
the Home Rule Bill passed the House
of Commons by majority Of ITO.
Later it was read for the first time in
the House Of Lords.
There were two divisions in the
lower house. Mr.. Balfour's motion for
its rejection was defeated, 25S to 368,
while the third reading was carried by
q vote Of 367 to 257, one member Of
each side having left the House in the
interval.
The result of the division was too
much foregone conclusion for ire
mendous demonstration, but Irishmen
inside and outside Of the House did
their best, and, assisted by the Lib
erals and Laborites, gave the measure
for which they had waited and worked
SO long a good sendoff on it's way to
the House Of Lords, where It's fate is
certainly sealed.
The division was preceded by an
other series Of brilliant speeches by
the political leaders, among whom
were Frederick e. Smith and the soli-
citor general. Sir John A. Simon, two

WILSON CUTS THE
INAUGURAL BALL
President-eIect Considers 1t an
Unnecessary Expense.
ALOSS TO THE GOVERNMENT.
His Letter To Chairman Eustis Asking
That the Ball Be Omitted.
Still No Word About

Princeton, N. jim a letter to Will.
liam Corcoran Eustis, chairman of the
inaugural committee, President-elect
Wilson called of the historic inaugu-
raj ball, which heretofore has been the
important social function in connec-
ton with the Inauguration. It has
been represented to the President
elect that the ball is always a source
of great unnecessary expense to the
government/I 1T has been declared that
the ball has cost the government no
less than $4,000 in loss of services Of
clerks, ETC., In the Pension Building
who have to be laid off while prepare
tions for the ball are being made. The
President-elect cannot see, therefore,
where the ball serves any useful pur-
pose Moreover, it will save S. each
to the persons who would have at
tended. The Presidenr-elect decision
in this matter is in keeping with his
desire to make the inauguration as
simple as possible. Already, at his re-
quest, the inaugural parade has been
greatly contracted in length. It will
be recalled that he has also deter
mined to cut out the daily receptions
at the White House and devote his
time to the business of the govern
ment.
President-EIect Explains.
His letter to Chairman Eustis fol-
lows:
"My Dear Eustis: After taking
counsel with a. great many persons
and learning as well as could gen
eral opinion in the matter. I have
come to the conclusion that it is my
duty to ask you to consider the FEAST
bility Of emitting the inaugural ball
altogether.
Il do this with great deal of hest
tation, because do not wish to inter-
fere with settled practices or with rea-
sonable expectations of those who
usually go to enjoy the inauguration,
but it has come to where the aspect of
sort Of public duty, because Of the
large indirect expense upon the gov
eminent incidental to it, and because
these balls have ceased to be neces-
sary to the enjoyment of the visitors.
Il hope most sincerely that this re-
quest will in no way embarrass you
and that have not too long delayed
in making the suggestion.

OF HIS METHODS
President Elect Gives Glimpse
Of Cabinet Making Plan.
HOLDS BACK FOR WHOLE LIST
Name OF HE Secretary May BE An
nounced Flrst-capacity For
"open Mind" I'm
limited.

Princeton, N. J.Governor Wilson
relaxed his iron silence about his
progress in selecting a Cabinet SO far
as to give hint of his methods and
an intimation that 1t was still long
way from being chosen. He also
intimated strongly that its personnel
would not be made public until just
before the inauguration
"You know, 1t has never been the
custom to make the Cabinet public
until a few days before March A. he
said.
OF all the men who have talked with
him about his Cabinet and he talks
on this subject with three-fourths of
the public men who come to see him
mot one has received so much as the
faintest suggestion that he himself is
In Governor Wilson's mind as pros

Mr. Wilson declared that he should
not invite any men to enter his Off
DIAL family until he had the whole
slate or 'list," as he called 1t, COM
pletely made up
II some of them should decline, it
would be necessary, as he put 1t, ito
make few shifts" But 1t is evident
from his manner that he does not ex-
pect this to become very live ques-
ton.
II may have man." Mr.. Wilson
said. tentatively picked out for Ger
tain place, only to dismiss him from
NV Mind tho uovf dav -
He is obtaining suggestions from
all sources, and on every one which
seems to have merit he seeks informa-
ton from every person who can tell
him anything about that man. This
accounts for the fact that many OF
those who have been brought into con-
sultation with the President-elect have
been questioned about q number of
names instead Of about only one.
Apparently you gentlemen" said
the Governor emphatically, to the re-
porters, "do not yet fully understand
my capacity for keeping my mind
open"
When suggestions are made to him
for important officers outside the
Cabinet he adopts the same policy.
So far as appointments are concerned,
however. he is giving most Of his at
tention to the Cabinet. Asked If he
intended to keep up to the end his
policy of considering few important Of
fees below Cabinet grade, he refused
to make any prediction, saying: my
minds my own, and do what like
x.,.%y, a ! Su1,,~ xInxv - 10
The first appointment which he will
announce, in all probability, will be
that of secretary to the President, but
Mr.. Wilson has not yet determined
upon that appointment either.
It seems hard for the Governor to
understand why people will not take
him at his word when he says he has
determined upon nobody for Office. 1t
was pointed out to him that this sur
prise might be due to the fact that his
method of procedure was little
novel,
In times past" he was reminded,
"a good many Of the appointments
were made in advance in accordance
with prediction promises"
THAT method" said the Governor
with broad smile, certainly had the
merit Of simplifying the work
1T surely simplified 1t for US" said
one Of the interviewers ruefully, and
the Governor laughed heartily"
