Bids for the stone base that is to sup

tleship Maine. to be erected in Arlington
| National Cemetery as a memorial 10 the
sailors who lost their lives when The
Maine sank, were opened in the office of
Col. George F. Downey, depot quarter
master, yesterday.
So many proposals were submitted and
they were so complicated that announce
ment of the winner of the contract could
not be made yesterday. The award prob
ably will be made today. Between fifteen
and twenty bids wefe submitted.
The base is to be of granite, to har-
moniZe with the war colors the big shaft
will wear when 1t is erected. It will be
circular in shape to represent a turTet,
and will stand over the bones of the men
lost in the Maine. On the granite will be
inscribed the names of the two officers,
the 232 sailors and twenty-eight marines
who went down. There was considerable
variance of price in the bids, according to
the finish of the base of the memorial
The lowest of the proposals were: l.

CHARGES AS TO RATES
DENIED BY RAILROADS
Answers to Complaints Made to Com
meree Commission Are Being
Received.
NOT UNJUST, THEY DECLARE

Absolute denial Of the charges made In
the complaints filed with the Interstate
Commerce Commission by a number Of
local merchants and the Chamber OF Com
merce and the Board of Trade, alleging
that the freight rates maintained by the
Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio
Railroads and their connections entering
Washington are Unreasonable, unjust,
and discriminatory" as the result Of the
withdrawal of free store-door delivery in
this city, is made in the answers of the
railroads, filed yesterday with the COM
mission. .-
Eighty-eight railroads were named de-
PENDANTS by the local merchants. The
commission set time limit for the rail-
roads to answer the charges, and, as the
limit set is near at hand, the answers
are coming in thick and fast.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, in
answer to complaints of Judd & Det-
weller and others regarding the rates
from Boston, New York, and Philadelphia,
which formerly carried the free-store de-
livery. denies its rates are unreasonable
or discriminatory" The Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western Railroad, a party
to the same complaints, denies that II
was in any way a party to the tariffs
filed with the commission which resulted
in the withdrawal Of free store-door de-
livery.
A joint reply to the Judd & Detweiler
complaint was filed yesterday by the
Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Baltimore
and Washington. the Cumberland Valley,
baltimore, Chesapeake and Atlantic,
Maryland. Delaware and Virginia. the
Monongahela, New York, Philadelphia
and Norfolk, the Union. and the Tucker
ton Railroads
The respondents declare that the tariffs
and schedules attacked in this petition
do not increase previously existing rates
within the meaning OF the interstate COM
merce act. They deny that the act casts
upon them the burden Of proof in the
proceeding initiated in this complaint, or
even that ii purports to confer upon the
Interstate Commerce Commission the
power to suspend the operation of Il
tariff after the same has become ef-
fective.
This probably will furnish one OF the
main points when the case comes up for
argument-that is, whether the commits
sion has the power to suspend rates after
they have gone into effect.
Two more answers were received yes
terday to the complaint OF o. J. De Mol
and others against the Southern Rail-
way and others. One of these, the Bal
timore and Ohio, denies that in any Of
its tariffs to points north Of Washington
named in the complaint it has or is sub
jecting complainants to any unjust or
unreasonable or discriminatory charges.
As to the points south of Washington
named in the petition it says that 1t is
not a party to these rates. 1t concludes
with a general denial of the charges
named in the petition. The other, the
Western Maryland Railway, denies that
il is a party to any rates that are ex-
cessive.
