WaShington.-The Interstate Com.
merce Commission sent to the
Senate its report on the investi.
cation Of the finances, rates and
practices of the Louisville and
Nashville and allied railroads. 1t
charged the Louisville and Nashville
with acquiring compeiting lines and
with carrying on for years at q cost
of millions of dollars an elaborate
political and publicity campaign to
eliminate competition and influence
public opinion.
Further inquiry, and, II possible, In
spection Of the railroads correspond
ence, was said to be necessary. The
report was written before the Supreme
Court handed down its opinion holding
that the commission was without
power to force the company to submit
its correspondence as well as its rec
ords and books to scrutiny.
Proof OF Monopoly Sought.
The investigation. authorized last
spring by a Senate resolution intro
duced by Senator Lea, of Tennessee,
was directed mainly to discover
whether the Louisville and Nashville,
through control Of the Nashville. Chat
tanooga and st. Louis Railway and
smaller lines. had restrained competi-
tion throughout much of the territory
served by those roads whether the
one-time control Of the Louisville and
Nashville by the Atlantic Coast Line
Railroad operated to the same and In
the much wider field the two systems
serve, and what amounts of money the
Louisville and Nashville and its re-
lated roads have contributed to
political activities and other efforts to
fight competition.
The commission qualities its declara-
ton that the Louisville and Nashville
has wilfully restrained competition by
pointing out that in some instances its
energies were directed to meet the
competition of other large systems,
and passes over the question Of
whether in all instances the course
pursued was contrary to public inter
est.
"The various payments made on ac-
count Of the Tennessee Railroad Asso-
station by the Nashville. Chattanooga

The FurIous Conflict In East.

London. The Russian offensive
operations appear to extend along their
whole front-an indication that they
have been able to bring very stronger
reinforcements into the field.
They have successfully checked the
German advance In North Poland,
where the Germans are reported to be
in retreat, and the recapture OF
Przasnysz, after severe hghting, has
given them an excellent pivotal point
from which to carry on their further

There has also been heavy lighting
in Western Galicia and in the Car
pathians, but without bringing any
notable change in the situation. In
Eastern Galicia the Russians report
another repulse for the Austrians, who
have again lost number of prisoners.
With Russia 1t would seem to be a
case Of keeping up the supply Of am.
munition, which the opening of the
Dardanelles would greatly assist.
The attempt to force the straits by
the allied fleet is indeed of momentous
Importance to the Allies.
The opening of the straits would re-
lease the Russian grain which the
Allies want and would give to Russia
war material which she herself cannot
produce, while 1t would be certain to
have a marked effect on the future
policy Of the Balkan States.

TWO BILLIONS FOR WAR.
German Federal Councils Bill For
Extraordinary Expenditures.

Extraordinary Expenditures.
Berlin. via London.-The Federal
Council adopted the preliminary bud
get estimates, including 10042, ,0o0, 900
marks ($2,510,50O,0 ,000) for extraor.
dinary expenditures. This amount is
for carrying on the war. The estimate
of ordinary expenditures is 1925. .000,-
900 marks ($S3O,75O ,0OO).
Almost all Of the amount to be de-
voted to the war will be raised by
loans.
No redemption of war loans is pre-
vided for, as methods for such re-
demption can only be decided upon
after the war. The Treasury bonds
credit it fxed at 1,OOO,OOO,OO0 marks
($25O, 900. .OOO).
The funds to provide for those killed
in the war amounted at the beginning
of February to 41,93s,9OO marks. The
armament levy is estimated at $780,
10000 marks, of which, 1t is expected,
two installments of 320.000,0o0 marks
will be paid.
The increase in revenue in the Ordi-
nary budget is estimated at 25,906. .450
marks and the increased expenditure
at 1S0,369 900 marks.

ALL SHIPS TO BE SEIZED.
Allies Take Drastic Step To starve
Out Germany.

Out Germany.
London.-Great Britain, France and
their allies have advised neutral coun-
tries that they hold themselves at lib
erty to stop all shipping to and from
Germany and the countries Of her
allies.
The declaration is not a reply to the
American representations looking to
cessation of German submarine
activity and the admission Of food to
Germany for civilians. The declara-
ton will not affect cargoes shipped be-
fore the date Of this advice to neutrals.
No special articles of commerce will
be mentioned in the British-French
declaration. Cotton and foodstuffs,
for example. will not be specified, but
the terms will be general. The situa-
tion created will be entirely justified,
according to the English view, because
of Germany's Unprecedented action in
attempting a submarine blockade re-
gardless Of danger to the crews and
passengers Of ships.

U. S. LIKELY TO PROTEST.
Allies Plan Declared Violation OF
international Usage.


Washington.-All commercial inter-
course by sea between Germany and
the outside world was declared pro-
hibited by Great Britain and France.
Identical notes presented by the
French and British Ambassadors here
informed the United States Govern
ment of this drastic step by the Allies
in reply to Germany's war zone procla-
nation.
If this policy is enforced it will no
longer be possible to ship cotton,
manufactured articles and commodi-
ties hitherto of a non-contraband
character from the United States to
Germany, directly or indirectly. and
from the latter country the supply of
dyestuffs and other merchandise for
consumption in this country will be
cut off.
The impression is general in official
quarters that strong protest would
be made against the action of the
Allies, which was regarded as an. un-
precedented and novel step.

BOMB OUTRAGE
FOILED BY POLICE
Anarchists Had Planned to Kill
Many Wealthy Men.
REIGN OF TERROR FOR CITY
Assassination OF Andrew Carnegie,
John D. Rockefeller and His Son
and Cornelius Vanderbilt
Part OF Plot.

New York.-An era of bloodshed and
lawlessness which, the police say,
anticipated the assassination of John
d, Rockefeller and his son, Andrew
Carnegie. Cornelius Vanderbilt and
other rich New Workers, and the raid
ing of numerous banks, was stifled at
its birth by the Detective Bureau,
when about Z O'clock a lighted bomb
was extinguished in St. Patrick's Cath
edral at Fiftieth street and Fifth
avenue.
Seven hundred people were attend
ing at early mass at the time. Another
bomb, unlighted, was discovered inn
Immediately afterwar6 on the north
side of the church, ready to blow to
pieces any one who unwittingly
, touched it with his foot.
Arrests Dramatic.
There were intensely dramatic
scenes when the detective, who had
been shadowing gang of anarchists
for three weeks, arrested three men,
one of them a detective in the con-
fidence of the bomb-makers, charged
with the plot to devastate the Cath
edral and kill its occupants.
The nipping of this anarchist plot
was accomplished by detective work
along the old-time melodramatic lines.
Captain Tunney of the Detective Bu-
reau directed the plot and dozen de-
tectives worked on it for months.
So carefully had the police worked
out their plans that the anarchist was
even allowed to light the fuse of one
of the bombs which he carried into the
cathedral despite the fact that the ex-
plosives were powerful enough to have
badly damaged the edifice and possibly
killed many in it. Scarcely had the
bomb carrier ignited the fuse when
one of half a hundred disguised de-
tectives, who were stationed in and
about the church, crushed the sputter
ing thread under his heel and in an
other moment the plotter was taken
into custody just as he was about to
light the fuse Of the other destructive
instrument.
Organized For outlawry.
It was part of the plot, the police
assert, for gangs of men armed witt
rifles and revolvers to appear stimuli
taneously in various parts of the city
to shoot and pillage the biggest banks
Of New York city were to be blown
up and many wealthy men were to be
slain.
The wrecking of the Cathedral was
to be the signal for the opening Of the
elaborate campaign of murder and
looting. The next move. according tt
the police, was to place bombs in the
homes of Andrew Carnegie, the Rookie
fellers and Cornelius Vanderbilt. Sc
far had the plot progressed toward this
end that the manufacture of the
bombs, the police say, had alread!
been started.
With these and other capitalists dis
posed of, the anarchists planned, &C
cording to the police, to invade th'
financial district and lay their bombs
in the city's biggest banks. Genera
looting was to follow.
Other arrests will follow, and i
police expectations are realized a gen
eral roundup of anarchists will cleal
up some recent bomb mysteries.
