BRING up RIGHTS
Independent OIL Companies
Question Utilities Board.
Trouble Over Freight Rates. on
Barrel Shipments.

Independent oil companies have
raised a question as to the Jurisdiction
of the public utilities commission In the
suit to increase freight rates on barrel
and can shipments of oil as compared
with rates on tank car shipments. The
utilities commission has set the case for
hearing September g. In tho mean
time the rights and privileges under the
maximum freight rate law will be In
vestigated.
Application was filed by the railroads
some weeks ago for an increase In the
rates on barrel and can lot shipments
of oil. which under the present tariffs,
take the same rates as accorded ship
ments in tank cars. The Independent
refineries of the state Immediately pro-
tested and moved to increase freight
rates and charged that the action was
a direct slap at their interests on the
part of the. Standard Oil company.
Most of the shipments in tank cars
are made by the Standard Oil company
which owns its tank cars. A shipment
OF oil is more easily handled in q tank
car than in a car loaded with barrels
and cans, SO the railroads sought to an
crease the rate on the barrel Id can
Now the independent oil
companies have brought TO light the
maximum freight law OF 1907 and de-
clare that under its provisions the utili-
ties commission has. no right to in
crease the rates. Both the railroads
and the oil companies have been asked
to submit briefs and the case will be
presented September g.

CROWDS HEAR I. R.
Doors of Theater Closed Long
Before His Arrival.


London, June 17.-CoL Theodore
Roosevelt appeared before the Royal
Geographical society to tell the MEM
beers and many OF the most conspicu-
GUS men in British public life how he
put the Duvida river on the map OF
Brazil
The society's theater in Burlington
Gardens was packed. Those eager to
hear the former president would cas-
lily have filled the largest hall in Lon
don, but he preferred a small audi
torium, where an intimate talk would
be possible. The theater seats only
seven hundred, but the society issued
more than a thousand cards, while at
the same time it refused hundreds OF
applications. Many prominent persons
who had come long distance with
cherished cards were unable to get in.
The doors were closed and signs
''theater fuu'' were posted half an
hour before the colonel arrived. The
police had plenty to do In keeping
back the disappointed men and women
in evening dress, who waved their
cards and shouted their names and
claims for consideration.
Street Was Blocked.
The street was blocked with motor
cars and an hour after the lecture was
begun silk hated groups continued
frequent PUSHES upon the barred doors,
fiercely criticizing the arrangements.
Large forces of police were waiting
to shelter Colonel Roosevelt against a
possible suffrage attack, but none was
attempted. The colonel waved his
hand when he alighted from his mo-
tor, but the crowd was too decor
GUS for cheering. The heartiest APP
plause. however, greeted his appear
ance on the stage. tsf5 - e =
He had been requested to give the
members of the society personal de-
tails Of his adventures and he talked
much of ferocious bats, small fish
which devour men, catfish which catch
monkeys and insects and snakes which
made Life miserable for him. He sug-
geeted that the society send a. party
to survey the river and promised as

Dear Mr.. President
Il have read with deep interest
your address at the dedication OF the
American university. 1 take the lib
erty of inQuiring whether you were
correctly quo.ed in the following lines
which were published in a New York
newspaper:
That is the reason why scholarship
has usually been more fruitful when
associated with religion, and schol-
arship has never, SO far as I can a.
with any religion except the religion
Of Jesus Christ
Il fell quite certain that you know
that true scholarship has ever been.
and is now the very essence and foun-
dalton Of Judaism, the religion that
60vO OAA~ IA ~ I'LL ASl41ultys IL seems
to me that 1t would therefore be I'M
fair to exclude Judaism from the re-
ligfOn with which scholarship has
been intimately associated.
You know of my profound admira-
ton for you as a great president, a
great thinker and a great man. 1
feel that you would not make a state
ment that IL unfair.
with deep regards, 1 am faithfully
yours.
tSigned) HERMAN BERNSTEIN"
MY dear Mr.. Bernstein@I am sorry
that there should have been any un-
fair Implication in what said at the
opening of the American university.
You may be sure that there was MOTH
ing OF the kind in my mind, or very
certainly nothing in my thoughts that
would discriminate in the important
matter you speak of. against Judaism.
II find that one of the risks an.
penalties of extemporaneous speaking
is that you do not stop to consider the
whole field, but address yourself
merely to the matter directly in hand.
With sincere respect and appre-
ciation,: cordially yours. -
