Washingion, Feb. 25—The Cana dian reciprocity agreement was laid before the senate. «It was reported in behalf of the finance committee. by Senator Burrows “without amendmen: and without recommendation,” Friends of the measure got little comfort at the way it was received ‘in the senate and indications are now stronger than ever that a vote on the measure will be blocked and that a special session will be called by the president. The president himseif has apparent ly come to the conclusion there is lit tle hope for the bill at this session o! congress. plang for the calling of a special ses sion in the event of a failure by the senate to vote on the measure. : He called Speaker te Be, Chariy Clark and Oscar Underwood, chai~ man of the ways and means Commit tee of the next house, to the Whit House and discussed the possibilit ‘ot convening the new congréss in ex ‘tra session. Mr. Taft told the tw« '|Democratic leaders of the néw, house that in the event of the senate failing to vote he will issue his call March 4 the last d«v of the present session. Speaker o Be Clark and Mr. Under- wood suggested to the president it would be a great help to the Demo- crats in undertaking a revision of the tariff if the specia] session were not called for thirty days after the ex Piration of the present congress. The president promised Mr. Under wood he would consult with him about the date before issuing a call. This means the special session, if it is | forced upon the president, will be set probably about April 1.

DENIES RAISE IN FREIGHT RATES Commerce Commission COmE INSREASES IN TEXAS Advances In Class Freight Tariffs in Official Classification Terri- vory Disapproved. j Washington, Feb. 24-—The inter state commerce commission decides against the railroads im both the “Eastern” and the “Western” cases. The decision was eagerly awaited by roads and shippeers alike. Proposed advances in class freight | rates in oMicial classification territory, | aggregating among all the railways in | the territory approximately $27,000,000 @ year, ‘were disapproved by the com- mission. H In the :ase involving the increases by the railroads in Western trunk line territory the commission also de clined to approve the proposed ad- vances in commodity rates. The car riers in both cases are required to can. ce] on or before March 10 their ad vanced tariffs and restore their former rates, which are the rates now in ef fect. If this requirement be not com- | plied with the commission will issue , a formal order suspending the pro- | posed advances and putting into ef- | fect the existing rates for at least two | years. | In the case of the railroad commis- sion of Texas against the Atchison, | | Topeka and Santa Fe railway and otb- | er carriers, Known popularly as the Southwestern rate case, the commis | sion declined to disturb the commodity | rates or the first class rates com | plained of The defendants are or. | dered, however, to reduce the second | class rates, which were increased from $1.21 to $1.29 to $1.25. On the re | maining classes the defendants are } required to restore the rates in effect | before the increased rates were pub. | lished. In brief this is the disposition by the interstate commerce commission of the most important cases ever brought to its attention. In a sense the decisions were a surprise to rail- road officials and other experts who had followed closely the proceedings, ® majority of whom believed the com- mission would grant some increase to | the Western lines if not to the East: | ern. Lines Pay Good Dividends. After considering exhaustively the whole subject, however, from every ; view point the commission could not see its way clear to grant any o4- vance in rates, although it concedes that, in the case of some of the roads, an increased revenue is needed. In what is known as the Eastern case the commission was embarrassed by | the admitted fact that several of the lines in the territory were paying good dividends under existing rates, while other carriers in the same terri- tory were barely able to make both ends meet, a few of them scarcely In the Western case the carriers entered a powerful plea for increased reyenue in order that they might have” additional money to put into improve. ments and betterments which would enable them to handle with greater facility the constantly increasing traf- fic of the country. The same argu- ment was advanced in support of the proposed advances in official classifi- cation territory; but Commissioner Prouty, who wrote the opinion in the Eastern case, says: . “This argument does not appeal to us. We doubt that practical difficulty suggested (that of obtaining by loans sufficient money to finance the roads), and, were it true, it is not apparent that the general public should stand railroad systems.” Both the Eastern and Western cases ' | were brought to public attention in ! , the spring of 1910. Just prior to the | enactment of the existing interstate commerce law, which, in part, became effective on June 18, 1910, the rail- ways of official classification territory —forty-one in all—and those of West- ern Trunk Line association territory filed with the interstate commerce |. commission tariffs making genera! in- creases in their freight rates. i TRAIN’S PLUNGE KILLS MANY Fifty Casualties Result From Railroad | Disaster in Chile. } Valparaiso, Feb. 25—A railway: near.the American Braden copper miines ‘and plunged into the ravine be- Fifty persons were wounded. : Several Americans are among the wounded. killed or | Army Officer Frozen to Death.
