state Commission on Intermountain Rate Order LONG AND SHORT-HAUL CLAUSE CONSTITUTIONAL Decision Declares that Commission is by Statute Vested With Authority to Exercise Its Dscretion-in Safegluramcl’n- vate and Public Initerests — Lower Court Decided that Reversed Finding of Commerce Court Against Inter- Court Had No Authority to Issue “Blanket” or ‘“Zone” omhtCopldAdOnlthqtrdtoRmonlblenm or Unseasonableness of Specfic Rules. Washington, June 22.—The .flD!‘:;lé:l court today reversed. the comme | court and upheld termountain | rates. rate order of the Interstate Commerce Commission. , Chief Justice White first decided that the long and Short haul clause was constitutional. = The commerce court had held that the commission could not make blanket or zone rates. That is the contention of who are opposed to the five per cent. increase in freight rates now being asked by the eastern oads. The chief justice next upheld the making of rates by the commission by zones. A “The zones selected by the commis- sion were in substance the same as those previously fixed by the carriers;- as the basis of the rate making which ‘wag included in the tariffs which were under investigation and therefore may put that subject out of view,” said he. Facts Sustained the Order. “Indeed, except as questions of pow- er, there is no contention in the ar- gument as to. the inequality of the zones or percentages or as to any un- due preference or discrimination re- sulting from the action taken. But be this as it may. in view of the find- ings of the commission as to the sys- tem of rates prevailing in the tariffs which were before it, of the inequali- ties and burdens engendered by such system, of the possible aggrandize- ment unnaturally bevond the _limits produced by competition in favor of the competitive pofnts - and -against other points by the tariff in question, facts which we accept and which in- deed are unchalienged, Contention of Railroads. asked for the exemption under roads to carry commodities mountain cities were reasonable rates as New York.

Mexico ,City, June 22.—Gregorio Al- cares, the Filipino servant of Captain ‘Rush of the United States battleship Florida, for whom the state department at Washington instituted a search, has been found. He walked into the Bra- zilian legation today and introduced himself to the minister. The Filipino showed no signs of ill treatment. Al- carez saig he was released from the Santiago military prison on June 9, when at the invitation of a fellow prisoner, a Mexican, he went to Tiza- pan, an .inland village a few - miles from the capital. He remained there until this' morning, when he read a newspaper account of the 'search for him. He then came to the city im- mediately. He said he did not know that the Brazilian minister had charge of American interests here and was told that there was no American con- sul In the city. As he had no money he was unpable to return to Vera Cruz. Alcarez said he left Vera Cruz May 6 for the purpose of buyimg fruit for Captain Rush. On passing the Mex- ican lines he was arrested at Tejeira as a spy. He gaye his right name, but did not reveal his connection with the United States navy. He was held at Tejeira until May 7, when he was teken -to Paso del Macho, remaining there until May 9, when he was trans- ferred to' Cordoba, The ino arrived in Mexico City in custody on May 19 and was con- fined In the barracks of the T'wenty- ninth regiment. On May 15 he was removed to Santiago prison. Alcarez sald he was duly tried on the charge of being a spy for the Americans. The trial, he added, was a fair one, the judge explaining the points of law very carefully. as the Filipino konws little Spanish, only English and his native Tagalog dia- lect. e trial ended in his acquittal, the chafge being not proved. The judge at the trial, Alcarez said, expressed disapproval that the Fili- pino had been deprived of his money and of his Panama hat by the authori- ties at Tejeira. These later were re- turned. During the trial Alecarez refused to reveal his connection with the Amer- ican navy, saying he had left Vera Cruz with the intention of looking for a house in Solsdad with the object of getting married and living there. TESTIMONY BEING TAKEN IN EMPRESS OF IRELAND DISASTER Captains of Both Ships Differ ‘with ,Government Location of Collision. Quebec, June 22.—That neither Cap- tain Kendall of the Ill-fated Canadian Pacific liner Bmpress of Ireland nor Alfreq Tuftenes, first officer of the Storstad, had indicated on maps the same 8pot where a government inves- tigator clah the shattered hull of the liner noW lies, was the most im- portant point of the testimony heard today by the Dominion commission in- vestigating the collision. This devel- oped when Captain Gagnon of the de- partment of marine and fisheries was called upon to establish the position of the hull Captain Gagnon first drew his rec- ord of the position of the Empress on the British admiralty map. It was then found that Captain Kendall and First Officer Tuftenes had used United States maps and that there was a dis- crepancy between the points they in- dicated as the resting spot of the liner and the point indicated by Cap- tain Gagnon as her grave. Mr, Haight ofi counsel for the own- ers of the Storstad, in pointing out the discrepancy, argued that he was of the opinfon that the course of the Stor- stad,’as given by her officers, would lead to the sunken liner. In reply to .Chief Justice McLeod's comment that it was the contention of the owners of the Storstad that the Empress was moving at the time of the collision and that if such was the case it would have been possible for her to have moved some distance gfter she was struck, Mr. Haight saffi that the fact that the passengers did not have time to dress and go on deck pefore the liner went down proved that she could not have gone more than a ship's length or two, Steamship Arrivals.

RETAINS RIGHT TO BUY Pressure from Federal Authorities Hasten Legislative Action for the Dissolution of the Boston and Maine and N. Y, N. H. & H. £ Boston, June 22.—A bill to separate the Boston and Maine from the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road will bé unanimously reported to the legislature before the end of the week by the committee on railroads, it was announced at the close of a two- hours’ . conference between Governor Walsh and the committee late today. Under the terms of the proposed_meus. ure, known as the Fisher-Eilis bill, the state would retain the right to buy at any time the 51 per cent. of the Bos- ton and Maine stock now held by the Boston Holding company for the Mew Haven. This stock, should the bili be- come a law, must be sold in the open market. : The agreement of the railroad com- mittee to report promptly the Fisher- Bllis bill was- hastened by word from Washington today that President Wil- son and Attorney General McReynolds were agreed that the dissolution suit against the New Haven would go for- ward unless the state gave the holding company authority to sell its Boston and Maine stock. The commlittee last week reported a Tesolve to have the arilroad separation matter go over until next January pending an investi- gation by a recess committee. May Be Some Amendments. ‘While the committee was unanimous in agreeing to meet the wishes of the governor and the federal authorities, some of the members announced that they would reserve the right to offer amendments which, they said, were in- tended to perfect the bill and would not alter its main purpose. The bill follows the lines recom- mended by Governor Walsh in his in- augural address. The New Haven, al- though asking that some action be taken towards settling the disposition of the stock in the possession of the holding company, objected to the pro- vision by which the state could at any time gain control of the Boston and Maine. The governor, however, in- sisted that the state should retain the privilege of buying the stock for its own purposes whenever it saw fit. PROVINCES IN CHINA INUNDATED BY FLOOD. Thousands Compelled to Flee to Hills For Safety. Fong Kong, June 22.—Extensive areas in the provinces of Kwangsi and Kwantung are inundated as a result of the flooding of the West river, which has risen seventy feet out of its banks, Thousands of ratives who at first took refuge on the roofs of houses finally were compelled’ to flee to the hills for safety, The number of persons drowned is net known. The parade ground in Wu Chow, & treaty port in the province of Kwang- si 180 miles west of Canton, is ten feet under water.

AMERICAN CORPORATIONS MUST COMPLY WITH BRITISH LAW, In Making Public Reports of Their Business or Be Outlawed. London, June 22—American corpora- tions whose stocks are sold in Great Britaln must comply with British laws in making public reports of their bus- iness, or be outlawed from the pro- tection of the courts under the terms of a bill which Major Archer-See has introduced in the house of commons. While this bill is entitled “Foreign Companies Control,” it is aimed par- ticularly at the United States and is designed, among other things, to give their shareholders in American cor- porations a larger share of control in them and to compel them to give more information concerning their business to their British investors than they can be_forced to do under existing laws. The enactment of the bill into law is considered probable. HEAVY RAINS CAUSE FLOODS IN ARKANSAS Railroad Traffic is Demoralized, and Many Ci Isolated.

Justice Mc- Kenna also vigorouely attacked the constitutionality of the act. Justice Holmes -pointed out in an- nouncing the majority’s conclusion that the action was passed to relieve the country from the monopoly of the Standard Oil company, and the mere fact that the Standard's pipe lines owned @l the oil it transported did not take it out of the class of common carriers. He explained that in eflect the Standard was carrying the oil of other producers, even if it ald force them as a-condition of transportation to sell the oil to it.
