RAILROAD MUST TELL
 OF POLITICAL GIFTS
Judge Says Other Course Would Be Step Wrong
 Way.

Washington, Aug. 10.-The right of the interstate commerce commission to inquire into the political expendi- lures of a railroad was upheld today in brief filed in the District of CoI- umb1a supreme court by Chief Counsel FOLK, in the commissions action to compel President Milton H. Smith of the Louisville and Nashville railroad tc testify in regard to that carriers campaign contributions MT. Smith refused to answer questions propound- cd by the commission during an in- vestigation based on senate resolu- ton and resort was had to the courts to compel answers. MT. Smith, in brief filed several weeks ago, contend ed that expenditure of funds by a railroad official for political purposes vas private matter and that it was beyond the power of the commission to go into such questions.
 The brief filed by MT. Folk says:
 Commission Has Legal Right.
 '"The commission, under the powers delegated to it by congress through the act to regulate commerce, has a. legal right and is subject to the legal duty to be informed as to carrier ex- penditures, and it is a step toward the abuses of the past for any carrier serving the public to attempt to keep them secret.
 "The operation of a, railroad is not the private concern of those who run it. but it is subject to the public use and to governmental regulation and governmental visitation. There can be nothing private or confidential in the expenditures of the funds of a carrier engaged in interstate commerce as against the visitorial power of the government. It must submit all of it's business and all of it's expenditures to the commission upon suitable demand being made. That demand has been made in this case and 1t is to enforce that demand and to compel the car rier to perform it's duty under the act to regulate commerce by informing inc commission as to It's expenditures that this proceeding is now before this court''

WHEAT MEN CAUTIOUS
Spectators More Careful and Market Returns to More Normal Conditions Advance Discounts Crop Damane

Chicago, Aug. 10.-Caution seemed to be the WatchwOrd today among wheat spectators, and there was a. return to something like normal condi- tions greatly in contrast with yester- days feverish excitement and slzv- rocket course of prices. Opening uuo- tations today ranged from F cent de- cline to an advance of two cents. the latter confined to the May option, with September at $1.43 to s1.44 and De- cember at $1.4S to S1.48 F.
 Many traders inclined to the view that the advance in prices had sufi- ciently discounted for the present all the crop damage in sight.

 Nothing was officially disclosed as to the success the mediators meet, but it was learned on good authority that the brotherhOods had shown no dispo- sition to modify their demands.
 'The status is unchanged" was the only comment which A. B. Garretson, head of the conductors brotherhood, was willing to make after the confer ence adjourned.
 Only Scratch Surface
 'We have only scratched the sur face,' said G. w. w. Hanger, one of the three members of the mediation board. The situation may be cleared up within tWenty-four hours and then again negotiations may continue for a week."
 The mediators arranged for a sec ond conference with the railroad man. aserS this afternoon and to meet the brOtherhOO Ods representatives again to- morrow morning.

While expressing their appreciation of the efforts of the mediators, it was said that they in formed them that they saw little chance of reaching a satisfactory ad- justment.
 The mediatOrs, however, it was said, did not contemplate that the men would offer concessions at today's meeting. Most of the meeting was devoted by MT. Garretson to a de- tailed explanation of the brother hoods demands.
