DECISION IN FEW WEEKS
BY International News Service,

BY International News Service,
WASHINGTON, March GA can,
vass of the interstate coSlmerce commits
sioners who Will decide tie rate advance
asked by the railroads, made today by
the International News Service, shows:
First-The evidence is practically all
in with the exception of a few briefs,
and there will be few, if any, additional
hearings.
Second-The decision will be expe-
dted and may be looked for in about
forty days--not later than June ].
Third-The impression gathered from
the evidence Of the need of increased
rates. in whole or in part. is said TO be
convincing, and the decision will be ia
vorable to the railroads.
Fourth-The commissioners are keenly
alive to the closeness of relationship OF
prosperity of the railroads with the pros
perity OF the business and general con-
ditions throughout the country. =.
Ffth-Other important matters before
the commission have been held up untll
action shall have been closed on the
general proposition Of the per cent
rate advance asked by the railroads
Expedition Urged.
Sixth-President Wilson is urging
individual members of the COMMISSION
to expedite the decision and clarity the
minds of railroad and business men on
the subject before the political cam
paigns for congressional nominations
start The Alabama primaries viii be
held IN April.
The rate decision will be rendered by
Il a Nors.
Clarke, McChord, Meyer and Clements
rwo new commissioners recently ap.
pointed by President Wilson did not SIT
during the hearings.
4 leading member of the commission,
declining TO be quoted, said:
Approaching the vast Importance
and significance of the action of the
commission in these rate cases
other work has been held up.
Hssty and ill-considercd action IN thus
case could work great harm to both the
railroads and the shippers. That would
he deplora bic. y
Facts to Determine.
Commissioner Meyer said
II havo been on the commission only
q little more than three years, but dur
ing that time ] have never observed
the slightest tendency IN reference 10
any matter, big or little, for any OF
the members to be influenced by any
thing except the fact and law .applica'
bic thereto. Any talk about the com
mission being either pro OF antl-rall-
road is absurd. -
Members of the commission admitted
that President Wilson was taking d
lively interest in the rate case TO the
end of having the decision expedited.
He has not broached with the commits,
sioners the terms Of the decision, and
a commissioner said the president would
not make such a mistake.
The president has stated he wants
the decision because of It's possible good
effect on business throughout the coun-
try. General prosperity, which includes
railroad prosp perity, will prove a valu-
able aid to the Democratic party in the
approaching congressional political con
test.

Cincinnati. Hamilton and Dayton. who
has special charge OF the latters finances.
Is expected In New York from Baltimore
to-day to confer with the highest in
terests In the two roads as to the future
OF the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton.
The taking over of the Cincinnati
Hamilton and Dayton in 1909 by the
Baltimore and Ohio was the subject Of an
investigation by the Interstate Commerce
Commission on May 20. with the object
of considering the effect OF the drain
upon the Baltimore and Ohio by the other
road In relation to the demand OF the
railroads for higher rates.
Louis ID. Brandeis. counsel for the COM
mission. charged and Daniel willard,
president Of the Baltimore and Ohio. ad-
mitted that the Baltimore and Ohio had
assumed obligations In guaranteeing bonds
OF the other road to the extent OF more
than $4,000. 900, and had advanced IL in
cash s23.600.0OO. making total obligations
OF the Cincinnati. Hamilton and Dayton
assumed by the Baltimore and Ohio about
$50.000.000 for which the latter had re-
ceived no direct return.
II Is believed that the July interest
will form the pivot of action in the mat
ter. There Is no doubt that the Baltimore
and Ohio will continue to pay the inter.

morrow interest at the half yearly rate
OF one-half of 1 per cent. on Sl7,52e, 900

this will be paid or not depends the
question OF possible receivership of a con-
tinuance of the roads dependence on the

COTTON EXCHANGES
TO BE REGULATED
Passage in House Of Lever Bill
Assures Enactment
of a Law.

WAsHlNGToN, June 2e.-Federal regu-
lation OF cotton exchanges appears to be
assured as a result OF action taken to-day
by the House The House passed the
Lever bill to regulate cotton exchanges
through the exercise OF the taxing
power.
The Senate having already passed a
similar bill the whole proposition is now
thrown into conference committee rep
resenting the two houses. The bill has
the support of Southern leaders who have
been coh0ncting an agitation against the
cotton exchanges for many years.
The bill passed by the House. upon
which an agreement is expected to be
reached. is aimed at the so-called cot
ton futures" The measure requires en-
changes TO accept Government estab-
lished standards in grade and levies n
tax of one cent pound on all contracts
for future sales. Contracts that do not
comply with the Government standards
are each to be taxed $500.
Cotton exchanges are required TO keep
open accounts OF all sales whether for
actual delivery or in futures. These ac-
counts are subject to examination by
officials charged with the duty of col
must be reported despite the fact that
no tax is levied on them.
Severe penalties are imposed for vio-
lations OF the law. Any person who
evadcs or fails to pay tax may upon
conviction be fined not less than 500
nor more than 100000 In addition any
natural person may be imprisoned for
not less than sixty days nor more than
three years in the discretion of the
court.
In urging the passage of the bill Rep
resentativc Underwood. the Democratic
leader opposed condemnation OF all OPP
eratIons on cotton exchanges. He de-
clared that In the exercise of the taxing
power as proposed good results would
follow the enforcement Of the regulations
laid down.
Representative Lever of south. Caro-
lima. who reported the bill. said that the
enactment of tine bill would save the
cotton planters OF the South 800 100000
"A year.
