RATE DECISION SOON.
I. G. O. VIII Report Before Recess
Adjournment July 1.

Washington, Feb. 19.-Decision by
the interstate commerce commission
on the proposed freight rate increase
is expected to be reached probably
within three months and certainly be-
fore the commission adjourns for its
summer recess on July l. This an
nouncement, substantially, was made
by Commissioner Harlan today.
Commissioner Harlan said:
'Recognizing the public importance
Of an early disposition of the problems
before us here, the carriers, shippers
effort to bring the inquiry to an early
conclusion and there is reason to think
the record on the main issues in the
case may be closed, and the arguments
to dispose of those questions before
the summer recess"
Commissioner Harlan explained the
commission had before it two broad
inquiries as to the proposed advance.
"Are the present revenues OF the
carriers adequate? If not, how can
they be supplemented?
with respect to the first of those
issues, the carriers have already Of
fered much testimony but their wit
nor have the Investigations by the
commission on that question been
completed. We are also advised that
certain shipping interests will submit
important testimony tOuCuIAS iAo aUC-
ouacy of the present revenues of car
riers. In aid of an understanding of
the first question and of a proper solu-
ton Of the second question the COM
mission, as I explained at recent
hearing, has also addressed certain in
uuiries to carriers which they have
not yet been able to fully answer.
pending the preparation by the
railways of their replies, we have been
hearing the protests of shippers
against the proposed increases in the
rates on certain particular commodi-
ties in which they deal or are other
wise interested. At the hearing held
so far, testimony was taken regarding
free services and special allowances to
large shippers. A hearing will be held
here February 27 and % to consider
further the charges for spotting' cars
on side tracks and for similar services;
and on March 16 and II those subjects
will be argued. Records of the COM
mission show there are $4,000 ship
pers' side tracks and spur tracks In
the territory east of the Mississippi

son pressed further for repeal of the
exemption clause OF the Panama canal
act in conferences t6day with con-
gressmen. He talked With Senator
Kern. mMjrtty leadaE. who said after-
ward that the sena@ first would dfs-
pose OF the arbitratioh freaties prompt
ly and probably take UP the tolls Ques-
ton Immediately thereafter. He
thought 1t probable the senate would
act on the repeal before the house did.
Although MIR. Kern voted for the ex-
emption, he said today. the president
has told him of various international
phases Of the question which were not
before the senate when the Panama
canal act was passed. He added he
was not prepared to announce his po-
sition Friends Of the administration
claimed he will be among the adminis-
tration supporters.

tolls exemption. will not organize any
opposition to the president. in the
Chairman Henry of the house rules
committee went to the White House
and offered the president his help in
expediting both the tolls question and
the trust bill. He said he believed
both the house and senate would re-
peal the exemption clause within the
next 60 days. and he expected the trust
bills to be out Of the house within the
next month. Senators Simmons and
Overman talked with the president and.
although both voted for the exemp-
ton, they said they would change their
position, because they believed the for
eign policy required it. Senator Shive-
ly Of Indiana took the same stand
He also discussed the arbitration
treaties and assured the president he

Lincoln Hears of an Extension From
Superior to Aurora In Nebraska.

A rumor from Lincoln, Neb., to the
effect that the Santa Fe was figuring

According to the rumor, the road
will extend north from Superior, Neb,
to Aurora this spring. 1t is claimed
that officials are looking over the ter
ritory today.
The new line would give the Santa
Fe' an entrance into Nebraska above
the Superior near-state-line. Owing
to the fact that this terrttority lnciuo-
ing Nelson, Fairfield, Clay Center

isn't considered advisable and plausi-

Congressman George A. Neeley Of

The President Expects Con
gross to Repeal the Law.
IS NATTER Of HONOR, he SAYS
win Be Opened to Shipping the
Coming Fan.


Washington, Feb. 1s.-Presidont
Wilson expects ships to be passing
through the Panama canal this COM
ing fall and much before the formal
opening in January.
He let it be known that for that
reason he had every reason to expect
that congress would repeal the ex-
emption clause OF the Panama law.
The president declared 1t seemed to
be the universal view Of European
countries that the United States was
breaking the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
by the exemption in the present Pan
anna canal act. though no official
views to that effect had been present
ed during his administration. He re-
iterated that the United States was
in honor bound to obey the spirit of
the treaty and denied that his insist
ence for q repeal was in any way
aimed to placate Great Britain.
The president remarked that there
was no necessity Of placating Great
Britain, as Great Britain was not in
the mood to require it, being on the
friendliest terms with the United
States.
The president again stated he
would not send any message to con-
gress on the question. He expressed
the view that there would be no seri-
GUS opposition to the repeal in con-
grea9.
