ules. This schedule Of 1897, he said
was pursuant to legislative enact.
ment Of 1895 and remained in effect
until April II, 1910, when rates were
reduced because Of another law OF
1907.
The law Of 1907, prescribing rates,
was not made effective until 1910 be-
cause rates prescribed in 1907 were
held confiscatory by the carriers and
the case, started by the Attorney
General to force the legislative rates,
was carried to the United States
Supreme Court. A decision handed
down in March, 1910, ordered the car
riers to put the 1907 schedule in eff
feet, he said, but provided that if
the railroads, after trial, found the
rates confisaatory, the case could be
reopened.
The carriers gave the rates a trial
for about year and half, he said,
and then reopened the case In March,
1915. the supreme court of the
United States held the rates were
confiscatory. The new schedule of
rates restored the legislative rate
schedule of 1897, he said.
In the summer Of 1916, after the
supreme court decision, he said, the
North Dakota railroad commission
made an order requiring originating
lines to put in effect fof intrastate
shipment scale of distance rates
only little in excess Of the rates
the supreme court had held confis-
catory. A hearing was held and the
rates were not published. Later, aft
er conference, he said the railroads
accepted a compromise scale of rates
known as the conference scale"
These rates remained effective until
in 1918, when the railroads were
under the United States railroad ad-
ministration, he said.
The present rate schedules, he con-
cludcd, were the emergency rates of
1913, altered by general 35 percent
increase of the railroad administra-
ton in 1921 and reduced 10 percent
in 1922.
The railroad attorneys present, in
addition to Mr.. Lyons, included A.

Atlee Pomerene's seriousness, and
high sense of duty undoubtedly
are heritages of his boyhood.
He was raised on,a farm in Ber-
lin, Holmes county, 0. Atlee and
his 10 brothers and sisters each
had a certain set of chores and
each was held strictly accountable
by a stern parent.
Dacosta, an older brother, was
blind. Atele not only mastered his
own lessons but acted as instruc-
tor, and reader to Dacosta.
In 1892 Atlee married Mary
-Rockius of Canton. The event,
which was to have marked the

happiest day of his life, was ting
cd with tragedy.
! he had wired Dacosta, then 8
minister in Pennsylvania, to come
to Canton and perform the cere
mony. Dacosta started and was
killed in train wreck.
DR.. Peter Pomerene wanted his
boys to become, physicians anG
named most of them after famous
doctors. But Alice, after leaving
Princeton, studied law in Cincinnati
and then went to Canton to prac.
tice.
He served two terms as city

ed were of nationwide interest
notably the trial Of Mrs. George
who was charged with shooting
the brother-in-law of the then
President Mckinley.
Pomerene lost that case, but he
was opposed by the ablest legal
talent of the day.
In 1910 he was elected lieutenant
governor of Ohio. The next yeal
ne "bucked" the machine, ran for
the, Senate against BOSS" Hanley
and was elected. He was re-elect
cd six years later, defeating Myron
I. Herrick.
While Pomerene was in the Sen
ate, his secretary, realizing the
necessity for exercise, urged Pom
creme to walk from his home to the
office.
Pomerene tried it a day or two
but found it fatiguing. Then, for
a while, he walked part of the way,
Mrs. Pomerenc picking him up in
her electric after the first mile or
so, But soon he gave UP even this
pretense of exercise.
He went to no ball games, play
ed no golf, attended the theatre
only when his wife dragged him
there.
There is no time in his life for
irlvolltles or amusement With
him. the job at hand is the whole
thing, There is nothing else.
In the Senate Pomercne was a
member of important committees
banking and currency, foreign
relations, interstate commerce and
privileges and elections.
AS chairman of the latter COM
mlttec hesdireetcd the inquiry that
ultimately resulted in discrcditing
Senator Ncwbury of Michigan and
forcing him from the Senate.
Pomcrcne turned up the facts of
the Ford Newbcrry case, other

He did the work, they got the
credit.
He was one of the leaders in
the fight that resulted in enact

worked for the bill creating the

The secret of the conclusion

One Of the greatest surprises
the experts met with in Germany.

foreign money inside that country.
The total is said to have gone far

a little to the individual conclusions
of some members that Germany
was far better able to pay than
anyone had expected
