COMMISSION ACTS
1 ON NEW BATE LAW
Federal Body Seeks to Employ
Prof. Henry Adams for Im
portant Work.
Journal Speoial Semco.
Washington, July 14.The interstate
commerce commissioners have taken the
first step toward the enforcement of the
new rate law. A conference has been
held with Professor Henry Adams of
the University of Michigan, statisti
cian of the commission, at the end of
which he was asked to enter the em
ploy of the commission as an expert to
devise the uniform system of book
keeping for all railroads required by
the law.
The professor asked for a week in
which to consider the matter. There
is no question that he will accept if
he can make satisfactory arrangements
for a leave of absence from the uni
rersity for a period of about two years.
May Fix Valuations.
Ba ck of the intention to engage the
professor is a fact of far greater sig
nificance than the mere preparation of
a uniform system of accounts. It is
to have the work done now so executed
that it will be of use in fixing a valua
tion upon all the railroads of the coun
try so that a balance sheet can be pre
pared which will enable the commis
sion to determine, in a scientific man
ner whether any given rate or prepared
rate is just and reasonable.
President Roosevelt is cognizant of
the scheme and, when it is worked out
a little more fully, it is probable he
will approve it. Without such a valua
tion, it is contended, it is like going
around in a cradle to undertake to fix
rates by having regard for the cap
italization of the railroads.
Estimate I $11,000,000,000.
Professor Adams more than a year
ago fixed a commercial valuation in ex
cess of $11,000,000,000 upon the rail
roads of the country, but that valua
tion is of no importance in the effort
to set what may be a reasonable rate.
The uniform system of acounting is
to be so arranged that it will show the
receipts from each class of traffic and
the proportion of expense incurred in
moving it. In that way the iust return
of one rate to all other rates, it is be
lieved, can be ascertained and in only
that way. The rate per ton per mile
statistics put out the railroads, the
commissioners merely smile at, because
they do not show anything as to the
reasonableness of the rates or the un
reasonableness of them.
Effective July 1, 1907.
The law requires the railroads to
keep their books so that the commission
can ascertain the railroad receipts and
expenditures on account of all kinds of
traffic, but it is silent on the question
of valuation. But, inasmuch as the
commission is authorized to ascertain
what a reasonable rate would be, valu
ations will be fixed upon all roads, in
an unofficial manner, until such time
as congress authorizes the fixing of
them in the ascertaiamg of rates.
It is the intention of the commission
to have the new system go into effect
on July 1, 1907, compelling the rail
roads to have a fiscal year correspond
ing with that of the government. A
present each railroad is keeping its ac
counts in its own way, the only uni
formity that is required being^ in the
making of reports to the commission.

"MAKING GOOD"
Amusement Park at Kenosha
Already Results in Fifteen
Engagements.
Special to The Journal.
Kenosha, Wis., July 14.An amuse
ment park along novel lines has been i
opened here by John Peterson. I is
called "Reform Park," has most of
the features of similar institutions, but
differs from them in important partic
ulars. N intoxicating liquors are sold.
The most striking innovation is the
"spooning corners." Mr. Peterson is
an ardent advocate of matrimony, and
believes that, if given proper opportuni
ties, all young people will follow their
natural bent"' in this direction.
argues that many girls, because of the
sordid environments of their homes,
have no place to receive the attentions
of a suitor. For the benefit of these,
Mr. Peterson has provided a "spoon
ing corner." These are secluded nooks,
furnished with seats just big enough
to hold two and far enough separated
to insure privacy. So popular has this
feature become that regular nights have
been assigned to applicants, so that
all may have an opportunity to occupy
the corners at least once a week.
Altho the park has been in operation
but a short time, it is said that no less
than fifteen engagements have been
announced. ANALYSIS MADE
OF TAFT'S MOVE
Projected Trip to Philippines Not
a Part of the Presidential
Game.
Journal Special Service.
Washington, July
***I
Taft will go to the Philippines next
spring to be present at the ceremonies
incident to the convening of the na
tive assemblj'.
The disclosure of his plan has caused
consternation to Fairbanks, Shaw, Can
non and other aspirants for the presi
dency. Thev assume it to be a decla
ration that the secretary of war has
given up anv idea of going on the
supreme bench and has resolved to stay
in politics with the ultimate intention
of being a candidate in 1908.
It is a well-known fact that Mr.
Koosevelt desires that Taft should suc
ceed him in the White House.
But there is reason to believe that
Mr. Taft at present has no presidential
plans. It is known Mr. Eoosevelt has
rigidly refrained from attempting to
induce Mr. Taft to move one way or
the other. The president so recently as
the week of the adiournment of con
gress told some of his intimates that
he was glad the problem was Mr.
Taft 's and not his own.
To all intents and purposes, the sec
retary of war has reached a decision,
at least a tentative one, from which
he will not be easily shaken. That de
cision is to accept the tender of a place
on the supreme bench. Then how ac
count for his determination to go out
to the Philippines next spring? Mr.
Taft is in all probability the most un
selfish man in public life. is per
fectly willing to sacrifice himself for
his work. Tho matter of -rmblie im
portance that lies nearest his heart is
the happiness and welfare of the na
tives of the Philippines and the future
prosperity of the islands. The people
of the islands believe in him and have
for him a sincere affection and regard.
When it became apparent that the
tariff measure was not to become law
there were a number of conferences be
tween Mr. Taft and the president. The
whole matter was gone over carefully.
It was agreed that Mr. Taft should
have his way and continue his fight
next winter for the Philippines and
that the lusticeship should go over for
the present.
The known facts are that Mr. Taft
is going to the Philippines because he
is interested in the future of the peo
ple and that he has not yet given his
consent to become a candidate for the
presidency, and his decision not to go
on the bench this fall has no political
significance.

DREYFUS CAUSE
OF BLOODSHED
Bloody Combat Follows Vindica
tion of French Captain, Now
a National Hero.
Paris, July 14.A scene of tumult
uous disorder marked the enactment of
the law restoring Alfred Dreyfus to
the army, followed at night by a bloody
duel with swords in which" Under Sec
retary of State Sarraut was danger
ously wounded by M. Pugliesi-Conti.
The duel assumed the aspect of a com
bat between the 'government and the
opposition.
The meeting followed a fight on the
floor of the chamber of deputies, which
started when M. Sarraut sprang from
beside Minister of the Interior Clem
enceau upon M. Pugliesi-Conti, who had
been denouncing members of the gov
ernment as scoundrels. Sarraut struck
Pugliesi-Conti a stunning blow in the
face.
Wild uproar ensued, compelling the
suspension of the session. The duel oc
curred immediately afterwards. Late
reports show that M. Sarraut has a deep
wound in the right breast, penetrating
the lung. While the hurt is considered
serious, it is not necessarily fatal.
Dreyfus and Picquart Restored.
Despite this conflict, laws were en
acted by tho chamber of deputies rein
stating Dreyfus to the rank of a chief
of squadron of artillery. Picquart is
made a brigadier general. Minister of
War Etienne, who presented the bills,
said:
A decision has judicially and defi
nitely established the innocence of the
accused, involving ipso facto his rein
statement in the army and expunging
his condemnation. The government,
powerless to repair the immense ma
terial and moral injury sustained by
the victim of a deplorable judicial er
ror, desires to plaoe Dreyfus in the sit
uation he would have occupied if his
normal career had not been inter
rupted.
Dreyfus securing 473 votes against
42 and Picquart 467 votes against 27.
Socialist Makes Trouble.
The storm broke when M. Pressenae,
socialist, urged a supplementary propo
sition for the punishment of the offi
cers who had accused DTeyfus and
Picquart and whom he designated as
a gang of malefactors and forgers who
deserved branding with redhot irons.
M. Pugliesi-Conti shouted at the
ministerial benches, "You are scoun
drels for permitting these insults to
officers.''
Immediately from the ministerial
benches there sprang the lithe, wiry
figure of Under Secretary Sarraut.
made straight for Pugliese-Conti,
seized him by the throat and planted
his fist squarely in his face.
Pandemonium immediately broke
loose. Deputies fought in groups in the
center of the house, their blows rain
ig indiscriminately.
resident Brisson ineffectually en
deavored to quell the tumult, but, find
ing his efforts vain, left the chair and
suspended the sitting for a quarter of
an hour. A motion was then passed ex
pressing confidence in the government.
Honors for Zola.
The chamber also voted to transfer
the body of Emile Zola to the pantheon.
The senate also pased this bill.
The senate also had an excited ses
sion in connection with the Dreyfus
rehabilition bill, which was passed, 183
to 30.
The result was greeted with en
thusiastic applause. The Picquart bill
was passed by the senate by 185 to 26.
Both houses adjourned until autumn.
The municipal council of Paris has
adopted a resolution to name a princi
pal street Emile Zola in recognition of
the late novelist's defense of Dreyfus.
The council reiected a resolution direct
ing the court of assizes to prosecute
Generial Mercier.
The city council of Lemans has di
rected the erection of a monument to
Zola.
A public demonstration at the tomb
of Zola is announced for July 19.
Esterhazy Drops Dark Hints.
Paris, July 14.In an interview in
London Mai'or Count Esterhazy is re
ported as saying that Captain Dreyfu s'
case is a matter of indifference to him
and that he believes that Colonel Sand
heer, former chief of the secret intelli
gence bureau of the French army, has
proofs of Dreyfus' guilt. Count Ester
hazy said that he thinks that the af
fair is not yet ended.
DEEYFUS BESIEGED FRIENDS
Hundreds of Congratulations by Mail,
Telegraph and Cable.
Paris, July 14.The celebration of
the French national holiday today as
sumed special significance in connec
tion with Dreyfus resuming his place
in the army.
The Official Journal this morning
published a decree announcing his rein
statement and promotion and the in
scription of his name on the list of
chevaliers of the Legion of Honor.
Dreyfus, who remains in his apart
ments, is besieged by many friends who
are congratulating him. Hundreds of
felicitations have reached him by mail,
telegraph and cable.
Under Secretary Sarraut, who was
dangerously wounded in the duel, passed
a calm night and no complications have
developed/ The doctors diagnosed the
wound as a perforation of the upper
part of the right lung. They are not
prepared at present to pronounce a
definite opinion regarding his chances
of recovery.
DEBARRED GRITIGLOSES
GASE AGAINST THEATERS
Journal Special Service.
New York, July 14.The appellate
division of the supreme court has
dismissed the complaint of James
S. Met calf, a dramatic critic,
against Charles Burnham, a member of
the Theater Managers' association, for
excluding^ him from his theater.
The opinion was written by Justice
Houghton, with whom Justices Mc
Laughlin, Loughlin and O'Brien con
cur, while Justice Patterson dissents.
Justice Houghton, after relating that
Burnham and other theatrical managers
had entered into a conspiracy to pre
vent Metcalf from exercising his law
ful calling, says that, to constitute a
crime of conspiracy, there must be a
corrupt agreement between two or more
individuals entered into with criminal
intent to do an unlawful act. The man
ager and proprietor of a theater has
the right to say who shall enter his
place of amusement and who shall not.
This follows that his enterprise is a
private and not public one.
The defendant and his association did
not, therefore, enter into an unlawful
agreement when thay agreed that the
complainant should not be admitted to
the various theaters managed by them.

Street Fight Between Students

Teheran, Persia, July 14.A sharp
street fight occurred here yesterday be

student malcontents, in which twelve of
the students and two soldiers were
killed.

The opinion prevails that the true state

Teheran, Persia, July 14.There is a
recrudescence of political unrest among
the Mullahs and divinity students which
was noticed earlier in the year, and it
is exciting great uneasiness in govern
mental circles. The divinity students
broke out into active opposition to the
authorities Thursday and forcibly re
leased a professor who had been im
prisoned on a charge of seditious lan
guage. In an affray a student was
killed and two were wounded. The

All the shops except those

were in the country have hastily re
turned to their posts. Constant fights
are taking place, the situation is
strained, and nothing so far has been
done to satisfy the .malcontents.
Move for Free Government.
A movement was on foot in Persia to
obtain a constitutional government. A
thousand merchants and Mullahs^ sud
denly left Teheran, the capital, as a pro
test against the government of the shah
and in a neighboring village took steps
to establish a representative body to be
known as the house of justice, over
which the shah was to preside. The
members of this assembly were to be
elected by the Mullahs, merchants and
land owners, it was to exercise adminis
trative and legislative powers, and the
equality of all before the law was to be
proclaimed.
The shah alarm summoned home
his most trusted advisers in Europe.
These, it is understood, urged a progres
sive policy, and the grand vizier was
charged with formulating the plans.

Wisconsin Senator's Attack
Indiana Senator Is Quickly

Evansville, Ind., July 14.The Boone
ville, Ind., Standard (republican) pub
lished at the home of United States
Senator James A. Hemenw ay and re
garded as his personal organ, assails
United States Senator a Follette of
Wisconsin.
The attack was brought about by the
speech of Senator a Follette before
the Evansville Chautauqua in this city
last Saturday afternoon, when the Wis
consin senator showed that Hemenway
voted against most of the amendments
offered by a Follette on the rate bill.
The editorial of the Standard says:
"Any attack by Senator a Follette
upon Senator Hemenw ay is an attack
upon the republican party, and can be
met by that party the same as an at
tack by any democrat or demagog, of
which Senator a Follette has the dis
tinction of being both, while parading
as a republican."
The Standard adds that a Follette
and Bryan belong in the same class,
and that Senator Hemenw ay has no
excuse to offer for his vote on the
amendments, as he stood with President
Eoosevelt in his policy, while a Fol
lette voted with the democrats and
was against the president.
