Would still, however, retain the right to
paas upon the reasonableness ,t the

The railroads answered this argument
by declaring thai they could not Increase
their rates to Pacific coast ioims because
they would not lie able tin n to nm the
water competition Under the I tit, r
atate Commerce Commission's order tin y
were obliged, ii was said, either In In

contended, it would amount to conflsca

The Interstate Commerce Commission
before ordering the reduction In the
commodities rates lixed certain esperi
mental arbitrary schedules and then
had the railroads kep their ace. unts at
these tigiin s for a c. nam number of
months 1 he commission accepted the
figures for these months us typical of the
busin, ss for the year, and on the Ii.ikis
of these flguroa ordi r d the reductions
which have now been held up by the
Commerce Court The commission in
handing down us finding In the Hpokane
case declared that it was satisfied that
the reductions proposed were tu t un
reasonable, The reductions made in the Reno case
were on practically the satu- baa la
The Interstate Commerce Commission
ordered reductions to salt Lake City at
the same time that it handed down its
findings m the Renn and spokane easea
The Commerce Court has declined, bow
ever, to order an injunction in the Salt
Lake case on the gr. lUOd that oilly the
reasonableness of tin rates are ques
tioned in that case.
There have lieen evidences of consider
able toehng on tne part . f tfv'.e Interstate
t'ommerco Commission over the action
tt the Commerce Court in reviewing aome
of its findmga. Attorneys representing
the Government have contended that
the Supreme Court has held that the find
ings of fact by the Interstate Commerce
Commission are final. The contention
was advanced in the Hpokane and Reno
cases and in several other cases that have
besot before the Commerce Court that the
fixing of rates by the Interstate Com
merce Commission were findings of fact
and not susosptibabls of review by the
Commerce Court. The lawyers for the
railroads, however, have argued in the
Hon. and Spokane cases that constitu
tional questions were Involved, and ap
parently the Commerce Court accepts
that view of it.

Jenkins ', a well known young planter,
Mrs. Acre Norwood had been his sweet
heart bof .re hci marriage
Mrs. Vorwood previously had been
arrested as un accomplice in the crime,
but was released following her professed
turning of Btate's evidence. At the trial,
which began three days ago, the defence
introduced severi' witnesses to prove
conclusively that the young man was In
Natalbar.y. some miles distant, op the
night of the crime and that he could not
possibly b.ive come here and gone back
in the time that elapsed between his ar
rival in Natalliaiiy and the transaction
(A business in which a numlier of persons
were concerned and in which Jenkiiis was
thown not to have left the room.
Chivalry toward the woman he for
merly lo . ed is said to ha e sealed Jenkins's
lips, and h did not take the stand. The
witnesBOs who established the alibi came
to court voluntarily and demanded that
thoy ls heurd.
'ihe woman's alleged motive for murder
is jealousy. A strong chain of circum
stantial evidence was fastened about her
at the time, hut when she accused .Jen
kins, saying she was present when he
firod the fatal shot, a possible motive in
his case was so plain that her statemt nt
was accepted and she was released.
District Attorney MoLsndon savs he is
confident of a conviction in the light of
the new evidence. He also asserts that

Senate ooincitoe of Democrats now
investigating ..ny county. The ma
jority ot up-State Republicans in town
last night said that this was only gossip
and nothing more, and that in their opin
ion the proposition was moonshine. They
said that in almost every u-.stitnoe in the
last twenty-five years Repi.r.Iican legis
lative committees appointed to investigate
New York city affairs have invariably
solidified the Democ rats below The Bronx,
just as the McCal Senate Democratic
committee has solidified tho Republicans
of Albany county. In the next place a
Republican Assembly resolution calling
for a committee to investigate New York
ci'y would have to pass the Senate, which
Is Democratic, in order to carry with it
an appropriation for the oxpenses of the
committee, and Gov. Dix, Democrat,
would have to acquiesce in the appropri
ation. The Democrats in the Assembly, forty
seven in number, are to elect a floor leader
at their caucus to be held early in Janu
ary. The friends of Speaker Daniel D.
Frisbie of Schoharie are backing him for
that place, but inasmuch as there will be
thirty-one Democratic Assemblymen from
Now York city the opinion is expressed
that Assemblyman Alfred F. Smith of
tho Second district of New York will be
retained as floor leader.

Trenton, Nov 9. Sixteen members
cf the Ieni,,cratic State committee at a
meeting held this afternoon pledged them
selves to do everything within their power
to bring about the nomination of Gov
Woodrow Wilson as the party's candidate
for President It was firs' decided to
open permanent headquarters in this
State. Senator Johnston Cornish said
that the headquarters should be "No
t heap .lohn affair," hut in keeping with the I
dignity of au organization w hic h is behind
the Presidential candidate "
Th.. nn..nr head oi.irlors which were
opened for the campaign jus ended, will
be closed next Saturday, a nd as soon sfter
that as possible the permanent head-
quarters will lie ojiened It is proposed
to distribute Wilson propaganda through
011 the country, and a large port of the
political correspondence now handled in
the BxSCUtive office at the State House
will be turned over to headquarters
The committee believed that there should
I lie a place to welcome visitors who come
to Trenton for the purpose of either
'seeing the Governor ijn political matters
or to inquire about rtie progress of his
campaign In the last few months there
have been tnanv such callers and hey have
come from almost every State in the
I'nion. The committee felt that it was
proper that the Governor should have a
plats' other than the Executive chamlier
in which to receive callers if he cared to
If it is within the power of the com
mittee to bring about such a result Gov,
Wilson will not suffer unduly because of
the setback given his campaign by the
election returns of last Tuesday. F.x
Speaker Thomas Flynn of Passaic told the
committee men bluntly that the Wilson
cause was suffering from the construction
placed upon the election returns This,
ne said woe based upon the fact t hat the
Democrats had lost tne House, which they

cellor von Bsthmann-Hollweg opened the
discussion by a vigorous defence of his
Moroooan policy. He declared that the
sending of a warship to Agadir w is never
intended for the purpose of acquiring ter
ritory. He asserted that Germany wept
through her programme in its entiroty
without being influenced by any foreign
Power
Germany, the Chancellor said, had not
receded a single step He refused to ac

be avoided without hurting the honor of

not worth a war and Germany had at

feeling was that the Government's rather

not prepared to defend the Government's
policy in Parliament, The Chancellor
declared thai he had never afsed the Co

He (the rhancelloi i alone took the whole
responsibility for this policy.
The House listened breathlessly as the

The chancellor claimed that among

over, he said, in the case of the German
colonies one should look to the future
as well as tlv present The whole German
programme from the beginning had been
one of concession of Prance's Increased
political claims, but only on condition of
receiving Increased guarantees of Ger

plus territorial compensation elsewhere
At no stage of t he negotiat ions, t he Chan

lowered the dignity of either nation.
The Chancellor added
"We do not live i-i the Homeric times.
when compliments and bluster were
the neCeoOOry weapons of every warrior.'
Morocco, said the Chancellor, had no
attraction for fiormrinv, inasmuch aa
its acquisition and security and defence

the Chancellor, once expressed the wish
that France would take Morocco, and
though the times had changed since then,
it was always recognized since that Ger

strength lay in her strong Continental
position. The Chancellor concluded by j
saying
"This agreement is more valuable than (
any discussion about arbitration or dis

the I hancellor was OUOWSa nv oaron
von Hertling. the Centrist leader, who
said that the Moroccan policy of the Gov

a golden page in German history. The
Kaiser's journey, the Deputy declared,
was a mistake and vacillation had marked
the policy of the Government ever since
In the speech of Deputy Heydebrand,
who followed Baron von Hertling, it
was remarked that Crown I'rince Fried

the debate, eagerly nodded and nudged

when Herr Heydebrand exclaimed, "Now

The demonstrativeness throughout the

Memtiers of the class gathered yester

Ton must remember that it Is not any
