which officials believe a suit under the
Sherman act may result
The suit against the Philadelphia cor
pora ton. II brought. will involve an i'm
portant new Interpretation of the Sher-
man law in that the monopoly which
the government will seek to show
exists is of lighting facilities. 1t has
been decided there may be such a
monopoly and an early decision is eN-
pected as to whether such a restraint
of commerce now exists.
According to the charges which have
been investigated by the government,
the corporation controls the light sup
plies of about 500 of the chief Ameri-
can cities. and, If the government seeks
to establish these charges. the case
probably will be regarded as one of
the most important antitrust cases in
the history of the Sherman law.

MAY DESIRE To KILL
GARDNER Resolution
Wilson Talks with House Leaders Re
garding Bill to Ask About
U. S. Defenses.

President Wilson had two important
conferences yesterday at which the ad-
ministration's plans for dealing with the
Gardner resolution to investigate the war
preparedness of the United States were
developed. He saw Representative Sher-
ley. the chairman Of the fortihcations
subcommittee OF the House Committee on
Appropriations, and Chairman Fitzgerald,
Of the Committee on Appropriations.
The strength OF the administration in
the House may be eXerted to kill the
measure at the outset. This is the first
authoritative disclosure Of the President 5
Intentions. inasmuch as he has steadily
refused to express himself in advance Of
the conference, to which he has invited
Representative Gardner, for next Mon
day.
1t is possible, however, that the Presi-
dent, in recognition Of the interest which
Representative Gardner has succeeded in
arousing, will approve proposal for
something more Of an inquiry into the
condition of the army and navy than
would be made in the routine committee
hearings which precede the formulation
Of appropriation bills.

answer to Mr.. Gardner's charges. Mr..
Sherley went over with tho President

dress he will deliver before the Southern

may NOT ALLOW
RATE INCREASE
/. c. c. Doesn't Consider It.
self to Blame for Work
less Men.
ARE THEY REASONABLE?
Clements Says This Is Only Question
to Be Answered by Men
Dealing with Case.

In view of the efforts to influence the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
grant the per cent rate increase to the
Eastern railroads, by attempting to place
on 1t the responsibility for the large num-
Der Of unemployed. The Herald sounded
the commission on the subject and found
that such efforts may be fruitless.
Enough was learned to show posItively
that the commission considers itself in
no way to blame for the large number
Of men out OF employment, or even for
the many laid of by the railroads Of the
country.
When Commissioner Clements was
asked II the commission would be in
fiuenced to any extent in reaching its de-
cision on the rate question by the con-
dition Of unemployment and the charge
that the commission was mainly RESPONSE
BILE for this condition, he dictated this
question:
THE only question before the commits
sion, under the law. in the so-called6 Ter
cent rate case, Is whether the proposed
increased rates are just and reasonable
In the light Of all pertinent facts, cir
cumstances and conditions"
An effort was made to find out some
Of the pertinent facts, circumstances
and conditions which the commission
is now taking into consideration.
One OF them Is disclosed in the COM
missions reports on the operating reve-
nues and expenses Of the railroads OF
the country for the month Of October,
which are now being compiled. To date.
the commission has the figures for I'D
railroads. There are about $50 in all.
Increase in Revenues
These figures show that for the
months of July, August, September and
October. there a afdara hIa f0.
crease in the net operating revenue of
the railroads in the Eastern district
which is the district where the proposed
per cent increase would apply. There
was q slump in the revenues Of the rail-
roads in the Southern and Western dis
tricts, which have no rate increase cases
pending before the commission.
This four-month period, marked by
these increases, covers the European
main arguments for the per cent ad- |
vance that the war was hurting their
business.
The opinion is known to exist at the |
Interstate Commerce Commission that !
the railroads failed to take advantage Of
the opportunity given them by the COM |
mission to make a complete readJustment |
Of their rates. The effect OF this, Il is |
would have been to give the rail- |
roads in many cases much more than the |
per cent increase they asked The rail- |
roads. it is said. could never have done |
this alone but with the moral support OF |
he commission they had an opportunity |
which they may not have again for a |
long time.
This is one of the reasons why It is re-
garded as almost certain that the appli-
,ation for the 5 per cent advance will be
peremptorily denied, and that the best
The commission will do for the railroads
will be to offer them some indirect bene-
it.

BOY SCOUTS HOLD BARBECUE.
Eat Bear Meat Brought Back from

Boy Scouts in particular and residents
OF Randle Highlands in general ate bar
becued bear last night around a big fire
in the woods. The bears-four of them

days ago by Col. A. E. Randle as tro-
phies Of the hunt. There were about 500
at the barbecue.

Der of Commerce; Col. Randle. Scout

shall, and others addressed the Scouts.

that have been given by the Chamber for
the two best designs for the badges.

DISTRICT WANTS RENTALS.
May Readjust Finsncial Affairs De-
cided by ConptroIIer Downey.

An effort will be made at the COM
ing session of Congress to bring about
q readjustment of the accounts be-
tween the District and the United
States, 1t Is expected, whereby the
District revenues will be charged with
the $4,000 collected as rental for
the property leased by the Washington
Market Company and mistakenly cred
tied to the District
This action IL expected to grow out
of the decision of Comptroller Of the
Treasury Downey on Thursday when
he held that the rental collected be-
tween the years 1879 and 1883 should
have been turned over to the United
States and the moneys paid in after
1883 should have been split equally
between the District and United States
government
A readJustment will have to be made
to square the old accounts. For the
present there Is no other course open
to the District auditor but to credit
the rentals to the District and United
States equally.
