Long-Awaited Decision Is
Due to Be Promulgat-
ed Saturday
5 PER CENT. ADVANCE
TO BE DENIED
Is the General Belief-This
Would Give the Roads
$5O,O0O,0O0 a Year

Washington. June lS.--The per cent
advance freight rate decision of the in.
terstate commerce commission will prob
ably be given out Saturday afternoon
according to the general impression here
to day.
Speculation, having generally taken il
for granted that an increase was al
lowed, is now attempting to figure out
how much it will be. 1t is generally
believed that the per cent. horizontal
advance asked by the railroads will not
be sanctioned by the commission. The
decision on the whole probably will be
an almost unintelligible mass of figures
to all but transportation exports, as it
is expected the commission viii go into
detail specially stating increases allowed
or refused on all commodities and class
es.
Adjustment of some free services,
such as car spotting, switching, wharf
age and dockage and storage furnished
by the railroads to big shippers is ex-
pected to be included in the decision. The
commission has already indicated its at
titude in this problem by its declara-
ton that allowance by trunk lines to in
dustrial railroads for services are un-
lawful rebates.
Less optimistic observers believe the
commission will give the railroads suffi-
GENTLY increased revenues to render adj
yanced freight rates unnecessary. The
commission may suggest further steps
in efficiency and economy TO conserve the
revenues properly derivable under the
present rates.
A per cent. increase means to the
railroads S50,00o000 a year. The rail
roads declare that no conservation of
revenues would be sufficient TO meet
the expenses anticipated and that moth
ing short of straight rate advance can
save their credit
The commission, it is said, positively
will deny increases in coal and coke
rates.
Proposed rate increases on lumber
from Alabama points to Knoxville
Tenn, were declared by the interstate
commission to-day TO be reasonable in
some cases and unreasonable in others.
Parts of the suspension order was an
nulled.
The National Association of Tanners
complained to the interstate commerce
commission to-day that the railroads
had made an unjust advance in the rates
on barks used in tanning.

IS TO LET
CONGRESS GO
Administration Is Ready
to Allow Adjourn
ment
LITTLE OPPOSITION
TO PROGRAM
President to Have His Way
ais Both Senate and House
Are Eager to Leave

Washington, June ls.--"A hat against
your Ford car that we will get out OF
here the last of July" said Joseph P.
Tumulty, secretary to the president to a
newspaper man at the White House yes
terday. This semi.official view of the
date Of adjournment is reflected through
out Washington, where it is known that
dozens OF senators and representatives
are in panic over the prospect OF stay
ing here through the summer. In the
House nearly 90 Republicans who are
sure of reelection are said to have
formed a compact that after July they
will remain in their seats and contin-
uously demand quorum. The same
spirit exists in the Senate, where the
leaders are straining every nerve for
agreement on the trust bills.
The appropriation bills are being hus-
tied, the pension bill, carrying about
s200,000,000, going through the upper
branch in two minutes. Some of the
radical Republicans like Cummins of
Iowa and Bristow of Kansas, are eager
to get home to look after their own po-
litical fences, which admittedly need at
tention. 1t remains to be seen now
whether the Democrats will accept some
of the suggestions of the Republicans as
to trust legislation, thus bringing about
harmony, or whether the Republicans,
being repulsed, win sit back and let the
bills go through as the Democrats write
them, leaving the administration respon-
sible to the country for results.
Tho oltorpativa for fhn Rapu hli ca N a
is, of course, to fight the bills and try
to prolong the session, but no one has
any real heart for that procedure. If
adopted, undoubtedly it would cause the
Democrats to line up together and tire
out the Senate with night sessions as it
did on the currency bill.

STORSTAD'S CAP
TAIN WAS NOT ON
BRIDGE AT CRASH
The Chief Officer Admits Breach of
Rules Before Disaster-OHicers
Failed to See Lights.

Quebec, June l8.--Testimony before
the Empress of Ireland commission yes
terday brought out the statements that
officers on the bridge of the Empress
failed to see the colored running lights
go feet away and that officers on both
vessels failed to hear the whistled sig
nails blown Just before the crash.
Officers of the Empress contradicted
those of the collier in regard to the speed
of each ship. Captain Anderson said
the fact that his vessel penetrated the
Empress only IL feet proved that the
Storstad was not speeding.
Admission that Captain Anderson OF
the collier Storstad, which sunk the G.
p. r. liner in the st. Lawrence, with
the loss of more than 1000 lives, was
not called to the bridge of his ship until
the mischief was DONE" was got from
Chief Officer Tuftenes of the Storstad
here in the royal inquiry into the dis
aster.
"Why didn't you call the captain at
once :" asked Lord Mersey.
IL sometimes waited for a minute or
two to see if the fog would clear" was
the reply.
"Was that unusual?" persisted Lord
Mersey.
81 did not think there was any dan
ger" was Tuftenes' excuse for violating
standing order to Immediately call the
captain in case of fog.
just before the noon recess of the
hearing, Captain Anderson himself was
called to the stand, but there was not
time to develop his testimony and he
was excused until the afternoon sessions.
Tuftenes insisted that there was no
way on the Storstad when she sheared
through the Empress side. He declared
there was way on the liner but that
the force of the tide was the only power
driving his own vessel He insisted that
the Empress was in the wrong at the
time of the disaster and that it was
largely due to the speed way on the big
ship that the collier ploughed IL feet
into it's vitals.
New efforts are about TO be made to
release bodies from the wrecked hull of
the Empress of Ireland, and work will
be started to-day from the base of opera
tions off st. Luce.

day The pastor said he bet he could.

So at a o'clock Tuesday morning a

Makes Pact with Newspaper Men for One
Days Truce.

London. June lS.--Treaty making was
one of Colonel Roosevelt's principal ac-
Invites yesterday. He did not settle the
Irish question, the Balkan troubles or

trailed, called the correspondents in and
proposed a compromise.
If they would let him alone, the col
onel said. he would agree to see them
and talk in the evening. The proposal
was accepted and the colonel, care free,
started on his round of calls.

cause he Is a splendid exponent of sound
democratic principles, an ardent sup
porter OF President Wilson in his efforts

We believe MIR. Stanley is the most
logical candidate for the Senate, he has
made a splendid record as a member Of
Congress, and we believe his sphere of
usefulness would be widened by sending
him to the Senate. We believe that
when the good democrats of the Paint
Lick neighborhoOd hear Mr.. Stanley
that they will come to our way of
thinking. He Is making a very aggres-
sive campaign, he has made many
speeches throughout the state and will
continue to make them up to the time
Of the primary election. Mr.. Stanley
has been attacked by many of his. let
Us say those who are opposed to his
candidacy, and upon every occasion has
come through the ordeal with flying
cOlors, each attack seeming to intrench
him more securely in the estimation of
the people, and his following has grown
steadily from the beginning of his cam

Come out and hear him, his remarks
viii be interesting. give them careful

believe that you will come to the con-
clusiou that Mr.. Stanley can better care

HEAVY Loss
OF LIFE.
Follows Gas Explosion In Vest Virginia
Mines.

As a result of an explosion of gas in
New River Galleries Co., mines Nos.
and at Eccles w. Va, Tuesday after
noon. eleven miners are known to be
dead. SO rescued, all seriously burned
and two hundred others are entombed
in the buring mines. not one having es-
capped since the explosion. Govern
ment and state and volunteer rescuing
parties are madiy seeking to rescue
the enUOmbed men, but because of the
extreme heat, little progress is being
made and it is greatly feared that the
men will all be dead before the res
cuers can reach them.
The new River Co. employs about
$500 men in the two mines where the
explosion took place. Two car loads of
collins have been ordered from Cincin-
natl. The Governor and other high Of
ficials of the state are at the scene do
ing all they can to assist in the work
of rescue. Scenes about the burning
mines are heart rending. The recent
enacted Workmen's Compensation Act
provides $40. per month for the widows
of the dead men and So. per month for
children not exceeding three in number
