RAILROADS. COUNSEL
HOLDS UP RECORDS
Senate Hears Of Refusal Of Louisville
and Nashville Drastic"
: Action Coming.
LEA is PREPARING RESOLUTION

The Senate was confronted yesterday
with the information. transmitted to II
by the Interstate Commerce Commission,
that N. L. Stone, Of Louisville, general
counsel for the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad, had refused to turn over letter
files to agents Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission who were proceeding
with an investigation authorized by the
Senate, in regard to alleged stock con-
troll by the Louisville and Nashville of
certain other Southern railroads. The
resolution also was directed against the
Atlantic Coast Line and called for IN
formation suggestive Of evidence tending
to show a combination of competing lines.
Among the things called for was in
formation as to the number of passes
issued by the railroad and to whom
issued.
z. e. Clark, chairman of the commits
sion, transmitted the correspondence and
all the facts to Vice President Marshall
relating to the refusal of General Coun-
sci Stone to open his letter files The
Vice President laid the communication
before the Senate Senator Lea, author
of the investigation resolution, asked
that it lie on the table temporarily. He
said he was preparing q drastic resoIu-
ton to meet the situation.
In his letter to Commission Clark. the
general counsel of the Louisville and
Nashville said:
'aTo give up this file sets the precedent
under which the most private and con-
hdential communications may be laid
bare to the public. think the Senate
surely intended no such wholesale viola
ton of the sanctity Of the relation be-
tween the attorney and client"
In reply, Commissioner Clark said:
THE commission understands that It,
instead OF the carrier, is by law made
the judge of whether matters contained
in the file are pertinent to the inquiry
ordered by the United States Senate. The
commission is of the opinion that ex-
ceptions like that referred to by you, II
allowed, would render II impossible for
the commission to remove or prevent the
evils the law was intended to remedy"

JUDGE AS ENGLISH TEACHER.
Courts Sentence Loosens Tongues OF
Migrants from Finland.

where did you two come from?"
asked Judge MulIowny, in the District
branch of Police Court, yesterday of
Heina a. Kauppiners and Asser L. zet-
tenberg, Finlanders, charged with being
Migrants. The foreigners stared blankly,
and by gestures indicated they could not
speak English.
Ninety days each-do you understand
that?' asked the judge.
This seemed to have the desired effect,
but then it was too late for the men to
explain in broken English what they
were doing in Washington.

expenditures was mapped out at a con-
ference yesterday in which Speaker

The estimates Of the amount required
for the new fiscal year, submitted by
the Secretary OF the Treasury, call for
an appropriation OF 100000 in excess
of that amount. Chairman Fitzgerald
said it would be difficult to cut down the
estimates.
