the last two years 50, 1887. That its
total receipts from the rake-ofs it
gets from the branches that operate
under its charter and these street
meetings was $2,7S5.49, of which sum
it credited itself with SIT. for char

that had been donated to it.
Out of this expense sum, sundries
(not explained) amounted to $579.95,
salaries $433.96, travelling expenses
$3S.24, and other expenses embraced

mission yesterday.
The chance" consists, according
to the testimony of Albert Detloff,
volunteer probation officer, of plac-
ing boys of from 16 to 20 years of age
on a farm where they are paid SIS
month. Detloff is charged with brib-
cry, it being alleged that he offered to
sell a boy.
Detloff could see nothing appalling |
in the fact that these boys are placed
on farms where they work from be-
fore sunrise until after sunset for the
miserly stipend of SIS month, which |
often does not include their clothing, |
and are not even in many cases per- :
mitted to spend this SIS a month, but |

Detloff was sure he was most kind. |
He visited the boys sometimes and |
asked them if they were treated all |
right and admitted he generally asked |
this in the presence of the farmer. |
There are 20 boys under his care be- !
ing given this splendid chance" at |
the present time.
The commission further tore the
pretense from charity in the name Of |
Christ organizations and showed |
them up still more fully as mendi-

taught him.

Mr.. CLEMENTS REPLIES

'Ts II the general understanding among

have a Constitution, and Congress has
much greater powers under that Consti-
tuition than has this commission. The
law Of this country must be obeyed, and
the commission itself must be obedlent to
the law"
This was the question and declaration
Of Acting Chairman Clements of the In
terstate Commerce Commission to Law
renee Chamberlain, OF Kountze Bros, Of
New York. and representing the Invest
ment Bankers Association OF America,
after the latter had finished an extended
statement to the commission as to why
the commission should grant a per cent
increase in freight rates to the Eastern
railroad. Mr.. Chamberlain made It quite
plain to the commission that the Invest
ment bankers believe 1t would be wise
thing for the commission to grant the in
crease, even IL 1t was solely for the pur-
pose OF renewing confidence in railroad
securities.
would Restore Confidence.
Mr.. Chamberlain said that the in
vestment bankers wanted the increase
more for its psychological effect than

the commission in this case would do
much to restore confidence. He be-
lieved In substance that in the present
case the shippers who pay the freight
should be left out of the equation
Mr.. Chamberlain's views were some
what OF a revelation to the railroad
attorneys, attorneys representing ship
pers, and the members of the commits
sion itself. To say the least, the rail-
road attorneys. and particularly Dan
iel willard. president OF the Baltimore
and Ohio. were highly displeased when
Mr.. Chamberlain left the stand, one of
the attorneys expressing the opinion
that he should never have taken it.

ernment and the British and French
governments 20 prevent a worldwide
panic. John e. Oldham. OF Boston, also
OF the Investment Bankers Association
Of America, testified.
Continuing his testimony Of yesterday,
Mr. Straus stated that the failure Of a
road TO pay Its dividend regularly nat
urally has a bad effect on the price Of
its stock, and when the failure becomes
general among railroads it affects the
entire investment field.
TT is the reopening Of the stock ex-
change that is going to have a delete
rious effect on the economic situation.
said Mr.. Straus.
Mr.. Straus said that II was feared that
when the exchanges open the European
investor might become panic-stricken
and hoard his gold. and IL the railroads

would Guarantee Protection.
Commissioner Clark asked Mr.. Straus:
How far do you think the action Of
the commission in the desired direction
is going7"
81 do not think, in dollars and cents,
II will go very far" said Mr.. Straus. TT
will convince both the American and
European investor at q time OF emer-
gency that the Interstate Commerce Com
mission will extend all the protection
that lies in its power to maintain credit,
leaving It to the future to make what
ever reductions in the freight rate that
may seem to be wise or just"
Mr.. Brandeis put Mr. Straus through .
series of questions tending TO show that
the function Of the commission was to
pass upon railroad rates and not upon
railroad credit. Mr.. Brandeis suggested
that, after hearing Mr.. Straus, legtsla-
ton was needed under the present cir
cumstances and not assistance from the
Interstate Commerce Commission. In re-
ply to a question from Mr.. Brandeis Mr.
Straus said he knew OF no movement
among investment bankers to place the
matter before Congress.
Commissioner Clements asked Mr..
Straus II the proposition before the COM
mission was not really one to secure a
guarantee by the government Of railroad
securities, thus approving irregularities,
mismanagement, etc.
Mr. Straus said he did not understand
that a large proportion of the roads are
and Commissioner Clements
agreed with him. Mr.. Straus adding that
the protection afforded to badly managed
roads under the present plan proposed
was a Necessary incident.
Commissioner Clements also suggested
that il another emergency arose the COM
mission would not be called upon again
to increase rates to hold up securities.
There Is a probability that Samuel Rea,
president OF the Pennsylvania Railroad
and operating traffic officials Of the rail
roads in official classification territory
will take the stand tomorrow. 1t is ex-
pected that trafic officials will explain
at length the steps taken and the prog
ress made in connection with the decision
of the Interstate Commerce Commission
in this advance rate case handed down
