May Be Clash Over Rule.

According to the rules Of the board. n
committee report must lie over for one
week. without debate, unless major
ity Of those present suspend the rules,
but in previous instances Of a similar
character II has been the custom in the
board to talk on the motion TO suspend
rules in such a way as practically to
discuss the report when 1t is presented,
and it seems likely that the aldermen
who have not been on the committee,
and who are burning to get into the
fray, will declaim their opinions to-
dav unless they are vigorously choked
off by strict application of the rules.
II was rumored last night that Tam
many might attempt to bring the re-
port Up Immediately, in the belief that
their strength is solid and more ready
for quick action than the fusionists.
but Alderman Curran said he would
fight any such rush order considera-
ton.
Even II the report is defeated in the
board the proposition to remove Com
missioner Waldo on the basis Of the
evidence collected by the aldermanic
committee will be put up to Governor
Sulzer. according TO information which
-ame 10 Waldos supporters last night.
The Bureau of Municipal Research,
which has taken an active part In the
Curran committees work and which
furnished group Of investigators who
worked under the committees direc-
ton, proposes TO follow the thing
through 10 such an extent that II the
Waldo removal proposal is throttled in
the Board Of Aldermen and is thereby
blocked from the Mayors office it

tive action

Former Clergyman Spends II
Hours Chasing Judge Who
Has Wife'S Papers.
THEN CLERK BARS WAY
Man Who Would Wed Miss
Whaley Finds officials Office
Closed-Intended Bride
May Join Him.
Try Telegraph to The Tribune :

Hartford. Conn. June 9-Jcre Is.
Cooke. the former Episcopalian clergy
man. spent more than twelve hours
travelling over various counties in this
state to-day IN an effort 10 hurry to
completion tho divorce proceedings
brought by his wife. Mrs. Miranda
Cooke. In the Hartford County .Su-
perior Court last Friday.
Although the ex- clergyman did not
succeed in clearing up all the obstacles
TO his proposed marriage to Miss Flor
eta Whaley, the ceremony now hangs
solely on the formal recording Of the
signature tf the certified copy OF Mrs.
Cookies decree. which doubtless will be
consummated carly tomorrow morn
ing.
Cooke arrived from New York at Q
o'clock this morning and went straight
from the railroad station TO the Coun-
ty Clerks office. There he was told
by Lucius Fuller, the clerks assistant.
that the certified copy of Mrs. Cooke s
divorce had been sent TO Judge Joel II.
Reed for his signature and had not
been returned.
Cooke stopped only long enough TO
get directions for reaching Judge
Reeds home at Stafford Springs. Toll
land County and took the next train.
The trip was fated. however. To end
in disappointment. At the Reed home
Cooke learned that the judge was in
Wilimantic, Windham County. and
would not return for the day. Nothing
daunted, he took the next train, which
left at 12:37. arriving in Willimantic
at . o'clock.
There the search began again. with
the result that an hour later the judge
was found at the old camp meeting
grounds. He hurried away to catch a
4 o'clock train for his home. where the
decree was awaiting him.
Cooke arrived in Stafford Springs an
hour later and the eX-clergyman joy
ously saw the judge afiix his signature
10 Mrs. Cookies divorce papers. De-
spite the dOJuIdtlOlS VI tOOht, IL WdS
finally impressed upon him that no
other steps could be taken to assist him
and that the early completion OF the
formalities now depended solely upon
the speed Of the mails and the expedi-
ton Of the County Clerk.
Cooke returned to this city at 7
o'clock this evening, carefully eluding
the throng Of curious persons who rec
ognized him. and made once more for
the County Clerks office. He found 1t
locked. but continued on To Mr.. Full
ler's home, where all trace Of him be-
came lost.
An obstacle TO the Cooke Whaley
marriage was brought to light early
Yesterday afternoon, when a distin-
e,,isbed looking man called at the mar
riaee license bureau at the City Hall
and requested the privilege Of taking
hlanIks TO Cooke and Miss Whaley to
bc filled ou, by them before going to
the bureau.

Chief Liberal Whip at London
Hearing duplicates Lord
Murray, His Predecessor.
HOME RULE IS IN DANGER
Committee Stunned by Testi-
mony of Percy Illingworth
That Party Took Fling in
the Stock Market.
making half volley return;


London, June 1O-An entirely new
chapter in the Maroon! inquiry opened
AT yesterdays sitting Of the commit
tee, when the evidence given surpassed
in sensation anything previously re-
veaIcd. Percy nlingworth, chief Lib
eral whip gave evidence and stated:
First-That Lord Murray, OF Elbank,
chased out OF the Liberal party funds
$500 American Msrconi shares on April
f9, 1912, and 500 more on May "a. 1912
Second-That tho first lllingworth
had heard Of this was on May 81, this
vsar. when he was told OF il by Captain
Murray, a brother OF Lord Murray.
Third-Thst tho chief whip for tho
time being had absolute control Of tho
party funds and was answerable to no
one for them.
Fourth-That when Lord Murray had
handed over the office Of chief whip to
hin, he had also handed over tho list
OF securities held in behalf OF tho Lib
eral party, but that the American Mar
conis referred TO were not among them.
Fifth-That he believed tho shares in
question had not been sold. but were in
the hands Of Lord Murray's represent
ative in England. Who that represent
ative was he said he did not know.
Mr.. Salaman. trustee of the estate OF
Fenner. the bankrupt stock broker. said
he believed that Lord Murray was a
creditor against the estate for about
c 3O. 900. The effect Of these statements
on the committee was stunning. The
ed air of boredom which some OF
the Liberal members previously eXhib-
tied at the Unionist questions gave
place TO the strictest concern. Petty
chickering's across the table ceased, ana
there WAS a tense silence for the chief
whip. and as he made his admissions,
one by one. depression settled blankly
on the faces even of Messrs. Booth and
Falconer. the Liberal stalWarts. They
sank hack in their chairs and made no
move and no attempt TO shake the force
Oh the evidence.
Moro Revelations Promised.
Additional revelations are promised
for to-day when, evidence will be given
by Captain Murray. What every one is
now asking is Where are the shares?
why were they not handed over TO
Illingworth? Why were they not men
toned in the list of securities?
There never has been such scandal in
the history Of a British political party
One Liberal said yesterday: The
thing is a malignant cancer; you may
attack IL and attack it, and 1t only
spreads more"
Another said: ut is amazing how a
clever man could be so stupid. There
&c no getting out of It. The Liberal
marty as a party had fiutter in Mar
cons."
II is the fear of what is remaining
untold as much as the fear of the ef-
feet of what has been already told
that is causing panic in the Liberal

Rates Even Affecting
Interstate Commerce.
MINNESOTA CASES SETTLED
Appeals from Other State Court
Findings Still To Be Passed Upon,
but Their Fate Regarded ds
Forecast in the Pres
ent Opinion.
From The Tribune Buresu.l

Washington, June 9.-The right of
the states to regulate intras.ate traf-
fic by fixing reasonable rates for rail-
road transportation within their bor-
ders was upheld by the Supreme Court
Of the United States to-day IN unani-
nous decision in the Minnesota rate
cases.
At the same time the court laid
down fsrreachine principles governing
the valuation Of railroad property for
rate making purposes. The court oriti.
cised the apportionment OF value bs.
tween interstate and ntrastste busi.
ness on a gross revenue basis and the
apportionment Of expenses by regard.
ina intrastate freight business as two
and a half times as expensive as in
terstate business.
This was regarded here ds favorabls
to the State of Missouri IN It's fight 10
UPHOLD the validity of its maximum
freight and 2-cent passenger law.
Similar confidence was INSPIRED in ad-
vocates of the Arkansas state rate reg
ulations. but all recognized that the
statement of the court that eucn case
of alleged confisCation lnLst rest on its
own bottom might mean the setting
| aside Of the Missouri and Arkansas
laws.
The states of oregon and Kentucky
were regarded as almost certain 10 win
their rate cases involving the validity
of state freight rates, because in eacn
instance practically the only objection
to the laws was their reputen inter-
ference with interstate commerce. For
a like reason many believed that the
West Virginia 2-cent passenger law
would be upheld.

For Party Reasons Tammany

Sioner, Whose Removal
Is Demanded.
cURRAN REPORT ADOPTED
Vote Is 5 to 4-Goes to Alder
men To day, and Sharp Con-
test Is Expected-To APP
peal to Sulzer if Board
Doesn't Gust Him.

The final report of tho Curran alder
manic committee, adopted yesterday by
vote Of five TO four. will come before
the Board Of Aldermen to-day, and will
bring up for discussion the question Of
the fitness Of Rhineiander Waldo to
continue holding his job of Police Com
missioner.
Tammany accepting the challenge as
4 party issue. will fight the adoption Of
the report. but not from any particular
love Of Waldo. AS one of the Tammany
members Of the committee put it last
night: "Tammany isn't crazy over
Waldo. He was practically wished on
US. but the fusionists have made it a
party issue and we'll stand up and he
counted. But there's no particular rea-
son why we should work to save Waldo;
he never so much as transferred COP
from one corner to another for me, nor
for any one else that l know Of
II this forecast of Tammany apathy
holds good for the entire Tammany
membership. there is a chance that the
report will be adopted. as strict party
vote with no hops either way would
carry the report through by 40 to -.
Those who have followed the develop
ment Of this aldermanic struggle, how
ever. expect TO see other fusionists fol-

who voted with Tammany against the
report in committee yesterday, and
thereby cause the defeat of the report

Orc Railroad Wins.

In the cases of two of the three rail-
roads involved in the dccison-the'
Great Northern and the Northern Pa
citic-the decision Of the United states
Circuit Court for the District of Min
nesota, granting an injunction against
the enforcement Of tho rates prescribed
by the State Railroad Commission. Was
reversed. In the case Of the Mime
apolis * 81. Louis Railroad the rates
prescribed were held 10 be conilScdtory
and the decision Of ;he lower court vas
affirmed 10 that extent, but the state
Commission received permission 10 ap-
ply to the courts tor the enforcement
of the rates prescribed at any time IL
appears that they yield i reasonable
income on the property.
The Supreme Court holds that the
authority of Congress TO regulate ir-
terstate commerce is plenary, thdt us
full control is not 10 be thwarted by
the co-mingling Of Interstate and in
trastate operations, and n At the states
cannot under any guise. impose n oi-
rect burden upon Interstate commerce
Within these limitations, however, the
court declares that there r,n1iLs to
the states. until Congress acts, wide
range for the permissible exercise OK
power appropriate 10 their terrltorial
Jurisdiction. although interstate COM
merce NAV be affected. The fixing *
though they may affect Interstate COM
merce. are held 10 be within these linn
itations. so long as they are in them-
selves reasonable.
In effect, therefore, to days decision
upholds the right Of tho states to reg
uIate intrastate commerce between two
Iimits-so long as they do not impose
a direct burden upon or interrupt tho
FIRE. flow of interstate commerce, or
interfere with the regulations for the
control of interstate commerce pre-
scribed by Congress, and so long as the
rates fixed are not in themselves un.
reasonable.
Riohts Of the States.
Applying these principles 10 the other
rate cases before the Supreme Court
from Missouri. oklahoma, oregon.
West Virginia and Kentucky-it may
be assumed that the right of the states
10 impose the intrastate rates against
which the railroads are protesting VIII
he upheld. if the rates themselves are
found not TO be unreasonable and con-
fiscatory.
In their main contention, that the
rates prescribed by the state commits
sions constituted an interference with
Interstate conmerce, and, to that ss.
tent. were invalid, tho railroads met
with defeat. The Supreme Court up
held the right OF the states in this re-
spect. intmat ating that IL any correction
is TO be made il must be done by Con.
oress and not by the courts.
