Malice in Railroad Rates


There is said to be malice in the inside
gossip about the interstate commerce

gard to the application for increase
In the freight rate of cents per ton.
The confidential reply was made in quar-
tors that had right to know-that by an
overwhelming ma jority the railroad dele
gates (52 in number) were for 10 points
raise, the same figure that had been
named in the plea that was turned down
nearly four years ago. The advocates
Of the high figure held that the commits
sion had not promised 10 per cent but had
intimated that If three-year test could
establish the actual need and merit OF
the adv anee asked for something might
be dore There had been no actual pledge
of a given figure. but dssension all
through had been on the problem of a
10-cent rise. The theory was voiced
that if the commission satisfied with
the justice of any increase 10 cents would
look no bigger than cents in a final gen
eral appraisal Whatever may have been
the discussion, cents was finally de-
cided upon as a quotation that would
arouse the merest minimum of oppos-
ton and stand the best chance of ap-

was there that the recount showed
that Mayor GlorieuX received four
more votes than the district board
had credited to him. On the other
hand Mr.. Folsom lost two votes when

trict was tailed.
But one ballot was thrown out~yes-

votes in the second district, coupled
with the loss of two votes by Mr..
Folsom gave Mr.. GlorieuX a lead of
eight counts when the election board
quit work last night.
This afternoon and tonight the
board will continue the counting and
complete the entire canvass. The
third and fourth districts of the
Third ward remain to be canVassed.
1t seemed to be the opinion last night
that it would be doubtful if Mr.. Fol
som could overcome the commanding
lead now held by Mayor GlorieuX.
1t is practically certain that FTan-
els S. Green, who at first doomed up
as contender, has now been elm
mated from the race. Since his gain
of twelve votes in the First district
OF the First ward his total has con-
tinued to dwindle until he is now
sixteen votes behind Mayor GlorieuX.
Commissioner David II. Greene also
continues to lose votes in the recount.
His total has fallen from 645 to 624.
There is little danger. however, of his
being unseated by the recount.

During the meal there was an en-
tertainment that was much enjoyed.
Mr., Townsend explained the stand
he had taken on several important
measures which came before the
House and declared that his one OBJ
ject was to be a representative of the
people at all times. He stated that
he had voted against the free tolls
bill for the reason that he believed
the only ones to benefit from free
passage through the Panama Canal
would be the sugar trust and the
otdnQdTu Oll Company. Ile luNSh
that 1t was also his belief that any
one who had the privilege of using
the canal should be willing to pay
for it,.
In regard to the tariff bill, he stated
he did not believe there had been a
sufficient trial given it to form any
opinion as to how it would work out
and that the currency bill would be
q benefit to the worlingman.
Harold NJ. Anderson acted as toast
master, and the speakers, besides Mr..
Townsend. were Assemblyman Ben
nett II. FISHER, w. II. Brainard, Dali
las Flanagan, DIR. Martin ]. Synnott,
County Clerk Joseph McDonough and
Tom L. Mason, editor of Life.
City Counsel James r. Nugent OF
this city was one of the guests, but
did not make a speech.
Mr. Townsend touched on the mat
ter of the appointment of a postmas-
ter for South Orange. and said he
could assure his hearers that John j.
O'Hanlon would be appointed TO the
position in a very short time.
