 RATE RAISING Senator Cummins Insists That Raise Was Not Necessary and Was
 for Political Purposes.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Senator Cummins of Iowa is dissatisfied wilh the recent decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission granting a raise of per cent. 70 the railroads of the east and the proposed raise for the western roads. The senator announced today that he would en- deavor to force the Senate to inves- tigate the commission, as the rates are not justified and are added bur- dens upon the consumer. The Iowa senator insists that the increase was granted by the administration in an effort to curry favor with the big corporations.
 Administration senators are repol;- ed as inclined to allow the investiga- tion as they insist that Senator Cum mins cannot prove his charges. They insist that the commission granted the increase following an investiga- tion which was public and open to all and the roads showed that un- less they were allowed to raise rates the service would suffer and many of the roads would be forced into bank ruptcy courts.

SENATE ID PROBE
 APPOINTMENTS
Senate. To Fight Appointments When Not Made With Advice
 of Senators.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The fight is on between the president and the Senate over patronage. The Senate has rejected a number of appoint ments made by President Wilson without the consent of the Senate. The Judiciary today further compli' cated the affair by directing that an inquiry be started to determine the right of the president to make recess appointments of men rejected by the Senate.
 The groundwork for situation ap- proximating the sensational quarrel between President Garfield and Sen ators Roscoe Conkling and Thomas c. Platt of New York has been laid and it started in the appointment by President Wilson of John R. Lynn Of Rochester, N Y., as federal attorney of western New York, without the consent and advice of Senator O'Gor- man of the Empire state.
 There was not dissenting vote when the objection was made and the traditional senatorial courtesy" won over the president.
 The president has since made sev- eral other appointments but without the consent and advice of the sena- tors of the state in which the appoint ees were to hold office and all of them have been rejected.
