ern railroads met in New York today
to plan for the reopening Of the Eastern
rate case before the Interstate Commerce

scribe specifically how the European war
has created an emergency In American
railroad affairs, and to describe the ef-
forts the railroads have made to carry
out the suggestions OF the commission
as TO conserving net revenues. 1t is
understood that President Willard, OF
the Baltimore and Ohio, who opened the
case originally for the railroads. will
make the opening statement at the forth
coming hearing.
Western traffic officers, who expected
last week to file rate advances within
one month, now say it will require two
months.
Three directors were elected at the an
nual meeting of the New York. ontario

GERMAN JESUITS LAW
LIKELY TO BE REPEALED
Considered Good Policy for the Gov
ernment to Make Con-
cessions.
oreign Correspondence of The Star.

BERLIN. February ), 1914.
1t is reported in parliamentary circles
that the motions passed by the reichstag
requesting the federal governments con-
sent to the total repeal of the Jesuits law
Will be considered by the federal council
in the course of this month. 1t is stated
that the question has been discussed dur
Ing the past few weeks among the fed
eral governments, and 1t may be assumed
that there ii a tendency to comply with
the wishes of the reichstag
In the year 1904 clause % of the bill was
abrogated. This clause ordained that
''adherents of the Order OF Jesus and of
cognate orders and congregations of the
nature OF orders can, when they are for
eigners, be expelled from German terri
tory, and wnen they are German can be
prohibited from remaining in certain dis
tricts and places. or be expelled Since
that time Jesuits have been permitted to
reside in Germany, but have been pro-
hibited from exercising the functions of
their order. especially in church and
school, and from holding missions in Ger
many. A bill repeating the Jesuits law
in its entirety would hnd a majority in
the reichstag at ary moment, for all par
ties, except the conservatives, would vote
for it. the socialists especially being op-
posed to any exceptional legislation. 1t
Is, perhaps, considered In governmental
circles that 1t might be politically ad-
such large majority of the reichstag has
manifested oppositional tendencies, il
some concession were made to the center
or church party.

so-called patriotic association known
as THE Orthodox Fraternity of which
Eleutherius. Bishop of kovno. Is presi-

to Jews and Poles. 1t is the most sour
rilouslv anti-Semitic broadshect in the Old

Finding its circulation dwndling to
vanishing point. its episcopal controller
appealed to NJ. Griaseff. the governor of
the province to make it obligatory upon
all Semstvos and small burgher COM
munes within his jurisdiction to subscribe
to thc Litovskaist Russ. and forthwith
gubernatorial circular order was promuI-
gated to that effect. The journal is now
firmly on its feet again with 5000 new

two thirds of the small burghers are

STRIKE COST 100000.
Income Tax Now Looks Inevitable in

CAPE TOWN, January is, 1914
The strike is now virtually over, and
all parties are counting the cost Di-
rect'y. 1t has cost the government more
than $1.O0OOO0 and an income tax looks
inevitable. Indirectly. it has cost the
community still more. and the results,
as pointed out. are bound to be felt for
a considerable time by reason Of the dis
organization of trade and the shaking of
credit. OF the strikers themselves, many
will lose their billets. The cry of vic
Limitation raised by the strike leaders is
regarded in the circumstances as little
short OF impertinent.
Against all this must be set the gain
which outweighs all else. namely, the
defeat of a syndicalist attemrt at revo-
luton, and the extreme unlikeihood of
its recurrence in the near future in spite
of threats OF men like Mr.. Haggar, who
profess to regard the present "debacle"
as "a repulse-not defeat" and allege
that a renewa' of the state of affairs of
last July is certain. Locally no more
trouble is expected. but the government
has not relaxed its precautions.

GAINS BY BREAKING WILL.
Sister of Mrs. James A. Bailey Will
Now Get $4OO, 900.

WHITE PLAINS. n. Y. February 16.
Mrs. Anne Isabelle Hutchinson of
Bridgeport. Conn.,. today won her suit
to set aside the will of her sister, the
late Mrs. Ruth Louisa Bailey, widow
of James A. Bailey, long associated
with Z. T. Barnum In the circus busi-
ness. The will left Mrs. Hutchinson
an income of $4,000 a year. and by
setting it aside she will receive about
100000. The estate was valued at
about 100000. The verdict opened
today was handed in sealed last Friday
by jury in the supreme court.
The action was brought on the
ground that the executors exerted un-
due influence on Mrs. Bailey and that
she was physically and mentally in
competent to mako will. Mrs. Bailey

by sta temen.s that rain was interfering
with the harvest in large part OF

advance.

sufficient to keep the market firm.

mand. First transactions were at un-
changed prices to a decline of 212a5.
