RAILROAD MEN JECRY REBATES f | AWASHINGTON, May 14.—The con- { ciusions adopted by the Internatigopal | Railway Congress, which - closed its scventh ‘'session here yesterday, were cfficially announced to-day. The most interesting of them related to railroad rates, on which,’after a prolonged dis- cussion, in which every country in which railroads were operated was rep- regented, the congress un mously ex- pressed its conclusions as follows: fts should be based on_commercial prin- taking into account the special condi- ns ‘which bear upon the commercial “value of the service rendered. With the reserva- tion that rates shall be charged withoui arbi- trary_diserimination to all shippers alike un- der ‘1tke conditions, the making of rates should, as far Il the elasticity nec— opment of the. traffic oduce the greatest results to the pub- c the raliroads themselves. These conclusions were ratifled at the cl of the session, afier President Rooseveit's speeches had been a topic of discussion, and two days after Sec- retary Taft's address on freight rates at the banquet of the congress. Regarding methods of treating rail- v sleeping cars chemically. or other- wise to protect them against deteriora- tion- and destruction by wear and by the elements, and in that way to les- sén the ‘draft on the country’s forest supply, it.was determined that some method of preserving sleeping cars was desirable, and it.was urged that care- | ful records of experiments should be | kept. | With regard to locomotives, the con- { clusion was that “the power. of loco- tives is more Hmited in Europe than in America, owing to the lower allowance of weight per axle. Eurapean engineers generally agree in'thinking that:com- | pounding admits of the construction of | engines giving a maximum- of power { and economy.” There is a tendency to extend the use of steam heating in many coun- tries,the congress found. To obtain suf- ent heat for long. trains when the temperature is particularly low it was deemed advisable to.use special pipes or to. mix “compressed air with- the steam. Light railways (branth roads) merit in the highest degree the attention of public -authorities. “The report con- cludes: Their_construction makes it possible to en- courage' the progress and development ‘of dis- tricts which have rreviously remained in the background, and it is accordingly not only the intent, but the uty of the governments to assist them. It is desirable. therefore,. not i 1o adhere to 014 types and: old methods.of con- struction, operation and regulation, but to fn— troduce eyery facility posaible adap able to loeal needs.and avatlable resources. It is.aiso desirable that State. Government and:local au- thorities should accord to light rillwayse el he upder ths form of subsidies, relaxation of | quiremen:s ©or other méthods of assistance, the support which they meed for construction and for operation.. #o that ail parts-of the country may be adequately -served. . The. congress expressed’ the - aish that the present téndency of legisla- tion to establish more. liberal regula- tions” that dight trains may become more g neal ard efforts of the manage- { ment to equip their light traffc Aines | with a more economical organization, which promise to°give remarkable re- suits, be continued.” The movement toward: the electrification of certain American raflway lines lends additional interest to the consideration by, the delegates of -auto motors. - ‘The con- gress .declares that "experiments with this- class of vehicles should. be con- tinued. i WASHINGTON, May 14.—Embassa- dor Juseerand of France, spéaking on behaif of the French delegates to the i cxpressed-deep regret over ‘a rumor that his countrymen were displeased by the injection of a ‘discussion: of. the raiflroad rate question in ‘the social functions attendant upon the congress.

Men Aré Picked Up by, the Escort .of V\'arshipsl ‘TUL’LON, “May ' 14.—The auto-boat race from Aigiers to Toulon has ended | unfortunately, all of the boats partici-: | pating in the second stage of the run from Port Mahon to this port having been either sunk or disabled owing to, a heavy storm when still many miles ' from. the finish. One boat’s . crew is still unaccounted for, as is the torpedo- boat destroyer which acted as consort for the racer. i The seven boats left Port Mahon on | Saturday morning at 4 o’clock for Tou- lon. A torpedo-boat destroyer accom- panied each auto-boat, while two cruis- | ers followed. The sea was somewhat rough at the start and-soon became , worse. The competing boats were un- able to withstand the violence of the storm and requested the warships to tow them. A | - Shortly afterward the Mercedes C. P. sank, men from the torpedo-boat de- stroyer Hallebarde rescuing her crew. The cruiser Lahire hoisted the Fiat and ber crew aboard. The Camille was abandoned, the destroyer Dard saving her crew. The Hércules II is adrift, but her crew is on board the destroyer Sarbacane. The Malgre-Tout sank and her crew was taken on board the de- stroyer Carabine, The Mercedes had to be abandoned, the destroyer Pertru- sane saving the crew. There is no news concerning the Quand-Meme, about which there ,is considerable anxiety. Her .crew con- sisted of seven men, including the Duke de Cases. The -cruisers Desaix and Kleber are searching for the vessel. * Accounts given by officers of the de- | - - —3* stroyers which have arrived here with WX OPERA SINGER WHOSE the wrecked auto-boats’ crews show | DE £~ WAS 'DUE TO that the storm which overtook the frail HEART DISEASE. crafts shortly after tHeir departure from Port Mahon was of terrible in- tensity, the waves attaining a height of twenty-five feet. It was. impossible to keep the flotilla in tow, steel haw- | sers breaking repeatedly owing to the | sea’s fury, and the destroyers them- | selves being In imminent danger. In several Instances they were compelled to cast off tow lines in order to avold sinking themselves. Some of the com- petitors, however, persisted in racing until they were swamped. Sometimes, | owing to the mountainous waves, they | _were lost from their consort’s view. P The cruisers Desaix and Kleber, | though muech buffeted by the tempest, kept up constant wireless communica- tion ‘with - the .convoying . destroyers, standing by in brder to render assist- ance. The condition of the racers’ crews bears out the statements regarding their awful experiences. All were thor- oughly exhausted and scarcely able to reply to inquiries. They consider them- selves fortunate to have escaped with their lives. The clothing of many of them was torn to ribbons, and some are. bruised, while a member of the Malgre-Tout’s crew suffered a fracture of .a‘leg. ‘When they were landed at the Tou- lon quay by the destroyers a great crowd of sympathizers awaited them, the event having attracted sportsmen of many. nations to the finishing point owing to the international character of the original entries, which Included French, German, Itglian, British and American boats. The latter two, how- | ever, did not take part in the race; owing to their late arrival. | Anxiety regarding the fate of the, auto-boat Quand-Meme is growing in | intensity, more especially as the con- voying destroyer Arbalete also is un- agcounted for. The cruisers Kleber and | Desaix returned to. the harbor_this! evening ‘after a vain search, being obliged to seek shelter from a terrific | hurricane accompanied by torrential rain. The auto boat crews relate stories of daring .rescues by the warships. When Mme., Dugasts’ Cainille broke down the deStroyer Dard, having sev- | eral times unsuccessfully attempted to | approach her, the cruiser Kleber low- | ered a whaleboat, but owing to the | darkness of the night and the heavy ! meag, the effort to reach the autoboat | | failed. The Kleber then approached ! 1 and threw grapplers, finuily succeed-! ng in saving all on board, though' | Mme. Dugasts fell into the sea. The rescue of the crew of the Her- | cules. also was'an exciting one. After { three men had been taken off she went | adrift with the remaining two men. . Then attempts were made to reseue ! them, and’ finally, under. powerful | searchlights, the castaways were taken { from the boat just as she disappeared beneath the waves. 2 Duchess de Cases is reported to have | received late to-night a telephonic mes- sage from Toulon, stating that her hus- | | band’s auto boat, the Quand Meme, | has been sighted-in tow of the destroy- | er Arbalete. This report, however, has i not been confirmed. 5 ——————— T0 RUSH WORK Special Dispatch. to The Call.

May 14.—People here are dalking of little else to-day than the ugly charges made against Mayor James Roney of this city and George Campbell, formerly a well-known Val- lejoite but now a resident of San Fran- cisco, by E. Weld, agent of the Crane Company, at the meeting of the City Trustees held last evening. Weld charged that Campbell, as the agent of Mayor Roney, had visited him (Weld) in his offices on First street, in San Franeisco, last Wednes- day and said that if the Crane Com- pany wanted to secure the contract for furnishing the $36,000 worth of water pipe Weld would have to “fix” it with him (Campbell), who claimed he was acting as a “go-between” for the Mayor. Mayor Roney laughed at the charges, which were made at an open session of the board and before a large number of citizens. The Trustees paid little attention to the story told by Weld, as his company had failed to secure the indorsement. of the Board of Public ‘Works, which opened the bids for fur- nishing the pipe.

An open switch caused a col- lision between a car on the Washing- Special Dispatch to The Call. DENVER, May 14.—Moffat's failure | to-find a purchaser for his bonds in New York is said to have caused him to appeal to Senator Clark, who is an old friend of his.” Clark responded, it I-1s said, by promising to buy as much of the bond issue of the Denver, North- western and Pacific as may be required .to build the line from Hot Sulphur Springs to Salt Lake City. The construction and equipment of the Moffat road will cost about - 000,000. Moffat has spent $7,000,000, or will have spent that sum when the road reaches Hot Sulphur Springs. The”report reached here from New York on Friday that Moffat was trying to dispose of $22,000,000 worth of the bonds, but was prevented because of the opposition of E. H. Harriman, who has almost absolute control of Pacific Coast transportation and who does not | want the Moffat road to open up a new | ‘way into his territory. ! Clark® and Moffat may combine to| build a transcontinentar system, and the Los Angeles road and the: Moffat | road - probably will be a nucleus for such a system.
