sion and Taf t Would Be

[Special Dispclch to The Call] . .
WASHINGTON. Nov. 25.— Official
Washington is convinced that
th+ big interests are engaged
In a concerted movement to force the
interstate .commerce commission to
grant the increase in freight rates
ammintlns: in $7r>.Qoft,fw>o annually
nought by the roads. They also are
peeking to induce President Taft to
abandon his attempt to regulate or
ganized wealth. - \u25a0 ..
This movement Is utilizing sinister
weapons to insure favorable action.
The principals are forecasting a finan
cial depression and. a possible panic.
They are endeavoring to show there
must be a halt in governmental "inter
ference" in. railroad and corporation
affairs or else suffering will be expe
rienced, by the great mass of the peo- ,
pie.
Those involved in the scheme evi
dently are seeking- to create a, public
opinion which will place upon the ad
ministration all responsibility "for
"hard times" should they occur as a
result of continued activity of the com
merce commission in regulating rail
roads and the administration In prose
cuting and regulating, corporations.
Interests Lined Up
As an evidence of the extent to which
the movement has gone, attention is
called to the following interests which
have advocated the increased freight
rates and predicted a financial depres-r
slon in case of an adverse decision:
The railroad*.

The prediction of a financial depres
sion fs ma<Je in the face of good though
quiet bu!?3ncss conditions and abundant
cropfc , "-
Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh
said today: ;
"So far a.s the financial situation of
the countrj' is concerned, it is abso
lutely sound. I have absolutely no ap
prehension of any depression or panic."
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson made
the following statement:
"There is no better exponent of .the
prosperity of oor country than that we
have abundant crops and employment
for labor .along .all lines. Insuring a
demand for these crops. More atten
tion is being g^ven, to products from
the farm in all parts .of our country
and better/education for, the -farmer Is
making his day's work on the farm
worth more, with a resultant Increasing
yietd from the acre, giving promise of
provision f/>r the Increasing population.
The. prosperity from the farm stand
point is indicated, by the desire -of
every trader tji the wrold to get Into
cur markets an.d*by«the desire of labor
fr*m all .countries tb.° come into our
employment." . *.. ..'.'-*._
Roads Making Money
The" railroads have, every reason to
be~ satisfied with their financial con
dition. According 'to reports -which
they made to the Interstate commerce
commlsf lon their gross earnings for
the year ending on June 30 last; were
the largest In the history of the United
States, even larger than they were In
the year 1907, when they niafle- . a
banner showing. Their net earnings
for the last fiscal year were greater
than ever befoise.
When the, presidents of the roads
who testified recently before the com
mission weer asked to descrlve the
present railroad conditions they y said
they were. satisfactory, but -they feared
for the future.

ACTRESS CLAIMS
THE HUSBAND OF
SOCIETY WOMAN
Dorothy Russell and Mrs. M.
Dunsmuir in Dispute Over
Title to Spouse
Both Say They Were Marriea
to Son of Prominent Cana*
dian and Never Divorced
TWO "; wives claiming one hus-*
band and that husband in
Per^i is the situation devel
oped in a three cornered \ matri
monial mixup involving Mrs. Maude
Arlington , Shoobert-Dunsmuir and
Dorothy Russell, daughter of Lillian
Russell, both of whom demand with
equal emphasis, but in different ways,
the legal protection, love and support
of Robin W. Dunsmuir, son of the lieu
tenant governor of British Columbia.
It Is In effect a pitched battle be
tween .society and the stage. Mrs.
Dunsmuir, solidly entrenched within
the inner circles of her social castle at
Sausalito, waves aside the demands of
the actress. The latter smiles,, shrugs
her shoulders and says she will meet
Dunsmuir — her husband— ln the Pan
ama canal zone early in January and
with him travel through South America
to look over "our" mines.
The question which causes the con
troversy is: Did Dunsmuir secure a
divorce from his. first wife?
"He did." say's Dorothy Russell.
"He told me so himself," says Lillian
Russell. /; . •'*'/\u25ba ;
• 'He did not," says. Mrs. Dunsmuir.
• Tho question is. bandied hack; and
forth and 'answered according to the
standpoint of one or the other of the
parties. And Robin's not here.
Dunsmuir married Maude Arlington
Shoobert, a society belle of Sausalito,
November 21, 1901. Prior ' to ' that time
he had gained a wide reputation as one
who was ever ready "to kick a hole
through the whole sable robes of night
and generally seek' the^ dizzy tops of
pleasure. The marriage did not seem
to improve matters, and a little more
than a year ago Mrs. Dunsmuir came
back to her. home in Sausalito. In a,
few months she was followed by Duns
\u25a0narfx\^iratntheir % meeting was 5 entirely
circumspect and eminently, proper. It
was in an attorney's office, and there all
the social amenities were observed. The
terms of the meeting were kept secret,
but thereafter. Dunsmuir went forth in
and around the tenderloin. • Dorothy
Russell, then singing at the Breakers
cafe, caught his particular fancy, and
ultimately, when he left the city for a
trip down the South American coast,
sho followed and joined him at Mazat
lan. There was some doubt as to
whether or not they were married," but
this point Lillian Russell settled effec
tually. The question was first put to
Dorothy,- but the latter's sole, full and
complete answer was as follows, to wit:
"Mamma."
Lillian Russell sailed to the rescue.
"Married? Of course my daughter is
married. She and Dunsmuir .were mar
ried in Tucson, Ariz., last March. They
have- been together until six weeks
ago, when she. left him to pay me a
visit. He is in Peru now. My daugh-'.
ter will Join him in the Panama canal
zone early In January and the two wlll ;
travel. overi South America together.
"Divorce? Of course he secured a 1a 1
divorce. He told me so himself."
"lie did," said Dorothy Russell.
Mrs. Dunsmuir treated the matter"
from the standpoint of the exclusive.
She, referred to "that woman," putting
x lnto her tone all the meaning which
"that woman" carries' When dropped
from the lips of the' socially, elect.
"I do not Intend to enter Into a con
troversy." she. said, "but I . know posi
tively that Mr. Dunsmuir has not been
divorced or secured \ah divorce. • Natur
ally the mother Intends .to protect her
daughter and one can hardly blame her
for the stand she has . taken. If It 1 Is
true that Dunsmuir married Miss Rus
sell at Tucson in. March, then ho com
mitted bigamy. That's all."
1 And Dunsmuir remains in Peru.
