Washington, April 6.—Arguments in the famous Harriman case, which was heard by the interstate commerce commission a few weeks ago in New York, have begun before the commis- sion here. The proceedings are not In the nature of a hearing, but merely an argument Involving the question whether the Union and Southern Pa- tific roads are competing lines. In his testimony bhefore the commission [n New York E. H. Harriman insisted that the two lines were not compet- Ing lines. Mr. Harriman’s side of the case was presented by John G. Milburn and R. 8, Lovett, so far as the Southern Pa- cific is concerned, and by Paul D. Cravath, who, it Is expected, will ex- plain the deal respecting the Chicago and Alton railroad which was brought out at the New York hearing. The Interstate commerce commission is represented by its special attorneys, Frank B. Kellogg and C. A. Severance. On the result of the arguments may depend whether Mr. Harriman and his assoclates are to be prosecuted as a combination in restraint of trade un- der the provisions of the Sherman anti-trust law. When on the stand in New York Mr. Harriman declined, by advice of counsel, to answer certain Inquirles put to him by the commis- slon concerning the transfer of cer- tain Union Pacific stock. It has not been determined yet whether the com- misslon will endeavor to force Mr. Harriman, through proceedings in the United States courts, to answer those questions or not. WILL AVOID PROSECUTION Corporations to Restore Coal Lands to Public Domain. Chicago, April 5—A dispatch to the Record-Herald from Washington says: It is learned that the Harriman cor- porations, whose ramifications extend to coal lands and other vast interests in the Far West, are offering to re- store to the government properties they have heretofore claimeq as theirs by good and ample title. They prefer te do this rather than be prosecuted. Coal lands worth in the aggregate millions of dollars are to be restored to the public domain as a result of recent activities of the interstate com- merce commission. The commission several months ago set about to in- vestigate the land frauds in Wyoming, Colorado 2nd Utah. As a result of its Investigations the department of justice was given trans- cripts of testimony taken at Omaha, Balt Lake, Denver and Pueblo by In- terstate Commerce Commissioners Prouty and Clark and was directed by the president to prosecute in any cases where there was ground for prosecu- tion. At the first suggestion of prosecu- tion, however, the Unlon Pacific Coal company has capitulated. It has made a proposition to the government that it will return a large area of Wy- oming coal lands to which it admits its title is worthless. The sgovern- ment law officers are considering this proposition and while final action has not been taken it is learned on the authority of men who have been con- ductisg the investigation that it will probably be accepted and the lands returned to the public domain. It is understood on high govern- ment authority that the officers at the department of justice will give the Utah Fuel company and the Colorado Fuel and Iron company a chance to return the lands in the same manner and that if they refuse prosecutions will be commenced at once. TELLS HARROWING TALE. Canal Zone Sanitary Inspector Arrives in Washington. ‘Washington, April 5.—A harrowing tale concerring conditions among la- borers on the Panama canal is told by L. C. Hememyer of Illinois, sani- tary inspecicr of one of the zone dis- tricts, who fas arrived here. “President Roosevelt /and the mem- bers of the various congressional and administrative parties who have re- cently visited the canal' were simply fooled as to conditions there by the local canal offfclals,” said Mr. Heme- myer. “The men do not get half enough to eat and what they do get is often unfit to eat. A few days before my departure three negroes were killed -as the result of a bread riot. “The character of the food at the canteens is awful. Among my other duties as inspector I was called upon to inspect the canteens. One day I caught the cooks boiling up a 10t of meat with maggots in it. I compelled them to bury the rotten stuff. In a few days an order was fssued remov- ing the canteens from munder my in- spection. “Embalmed beef is a dainty dish compared to the stuff dished up to the men, both white and black, on the canal. The effect of the poor feeding is that the men can’t stand hard work. They topple over by the hundred every day.” WGE DISPUTE ENDS Western Railrocds and Employes | L Reach an Agreement. CONCESSIONS BY BOTH SIDES Men Secure Ten Per Cent Increase in Wages and a Ten-Hour Day ‘for Frelght Crews, but Little Change ls Madsz in Passenger Service. Chicago, April 5—The long stand- ing dispute between the Western rail- roads and the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen and the Order of Railway Conductors came to an end during the day when Chairman Knapp of the interstate commerce commission and Chairman Neill of the United States labor commission submitted a pro- posal which proved acceptable to both sides. The men are to recelve an advance In wages of 10 per cent, a ten-hour day for men employed on freight trains and a slight concession in the passenger service. The nature of this last article of the agreement has not yet been announced. The men originally demanded an increase of 12 per cent and a working day of nine hours. TO DEFEAT HIS POLICIES. Monied Interests Salid to Be United Against Roosevelt. Washington, April 5—The big in- terests of the country have inau- gurated a movement to discredit Pres- ident Roosevelt, prevent the achieve- ment of his railroad and other reform policies and to block the nomination by the Republican party of Secretary Taft or any other Roosevelt man. This movement is now under way in Pennsylvania, Ohlo and California. This is the information President Roosevelt has received from a source in which he places reliance. The men behind this movement are E. H. Harriman, J. P. Morgan, the Rocke- fellers and other Standard Oil inter- ests, the tobacco trust and certain other capitalist combinations which have suffered from the president’s ac- tivity. The movement is much like what is known as the “rich man’s conspiracy” of 1904, when, at a meeting, Harriman, so the president has been informed, solemnly expressed his conviction that he could deliver the delegates to the Republican convention from Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Idaho, Colorado and California to an anti-Roosevelt man. Investigation demonstrated that this claim was preposterous. MANY OF THEM INJURED. Mob Stones Train Carrying Number of Strikebreakers. Cleveland, April 5.—A special train of an-engine and one coach, which had been engaged to carry forty non- union men going from Lima, O., to Lorain, where the yards of the Amer- ican Shipbuilding company are tied up by the shipbuilders’ strike, reached Cleveland late at night on the Nickle Plate road. Every window in the car had been broken and its sides were splintered and battered. Of the forty men who were aboard it when it left Lima only fifteen were left. Hardly one was not bruised and bleeding. One man was so badly hurt that he had to be sent to a hospital. The car was stoned by a mob just as it was pulling into the company’s yards at Loraln. From behind fences and freight cars men poured out and bombarded the car. Before the engi- neer could open the throttle and steam out of range half the men in the car had been struck. All on hoard were panic stricken and twenty-five men jumped from the train and fled. The special was then started for this city. BISHOP FITZGERALD DEAD. Methodist Episcopal Prelate Expires ’ at Hongkong. New York, April 5—News of the death’ in Hongkong of Bishop James N. Fitzgerald of the Methodist Epis- copal church has been received by the Methodist Book Concern in this BISHOP FITZGERALD. city. Pleurisy was the cause of dealh. The bishop’s home ‘was in St. Louis. Bishop Fitzgerald, who was one of the general superintendents of the Methodist church, was engaged in making one of the quadrennial visits which the bhishops are required to make to the mission stations at the time of his death. He was sixty-nine years old and was born in Newark, N. J. PLOT TO DISSOLVE DUMA Documentary Evidence Shows Reactionists Are at Work. St. Petersburg, April 5—Docu- © the di1ssClution or tne oW house of parliament is printed in the Rech, organ of the Constitutional Democrats, in the form of a ecircular | signed by M. Purishkevich, a Mon- archist member of the house from jes ia and vice president of the League of the Russian People, which was sent to all the branches of the league. This circular shows that the many e s to the emperor now the reactio: organ, RBanner, demanding the m the league's headqu ters here. cular shows that the plot was con- ceived March 13, a week after the couvocation of parliament, and was set in metion March 27 by a prear- ranged signal, a mysterious black cross in the Russian Banner, whose appearance coinclded with the murder of Dr. Jollos, editor of the Russki Viedomosti of Moscow. directed that; should the plot succeed, loyallst demonstrations were to be or- ! ganized on the day of the dissoluticn | of parliament. The movement for a dissclution of the house has the full sympathy of the reactionary members of the cab- inet and though no steps have yet been taken in that direction the pos- sibility of parliament being dissolved is plainly foreseen. The-organ of the cabinet, the Rossia, in a significant leading article, endeavored to shift the responsibility for dispersal of the deputies to the shoul- ders of the Constitutional Democrats, though the members of that party have hitherto conducted themselves in a most exemplary manner. DENOUNCE ROOSEVELT. 8ocialists Object to Being Put in Same Class as Harriman. Cleveland, April 5—Men prominent in state labor circles denounce Pres- ident Roosevelt for placing Eugene Debs, Haywood and Moyer, the West- ern Federation of Miners’ officials, on the same plane with E. H. Harriman, Max Hayes, editor of the Citizen, a lahor organ. and a labor leader of na- thie house were sent by The date of the first cir-! The circular ! the eventual | (Huufl.l reputation, reflects the senti- | ment of others when he said: i “It strikes me as being an extraor- ! dinary statement coming from one ;holding the honorable office of pres- jldent of the United States. I cannot junderstand why he should go out of his way to take a fling at Debs, Moyer and T wood, three men who have devoted the hest of their lives to fighting for a betierment of the condi- tions to which they have been sub- jected by such men as Harriman.” | Court Decision Closes Saloons. ; Pierre, S.
