committee, Commander-in-Chief an Sant
aid: - .
"I regret that nothing was accomplished,
but It waa no fault ot the committee.
Congress would not pass any general
pension legislation. However, some 6.000
private pension bills were enacted. - The
committee canvassed tho matter Indus
trlously with senators and representatives,
but to no purpose. The .government was
facing a deficiency in its revenues and
retrenchment and the strictest economy
was the watchword. This was (the rea
son given for nonaction. In my Judgment,
in view of the changed conditions In our
country's financial affairs, it this encamp
ment should again recommend this meas
ure. It would likely pass.
"The Grand Army of the Republic has

ices ot Its members, regardless of length
of service the uinety days' man as well
as the veUran who served throughout the
war. It th former did not stand in line
of battle, he stood In the Hue of duty,

Til commander-in-chief expressed him
self as particularly gratified at the In
creasing fraternization of the "blue and

opinion of Interstate Commerce Commis
sioner Fianklin K. Lane, as expressed dur

Railroad officers and attorney sought
to learn If the commissioner Implied there
must be readjustment of the method of
financing big carrier systems, but Mr.
Lane Ignored the effort) and continued to
ask the witness, to whom he had directed
his startling remarks, pointed questions
on the amount and disposition of earnings
of the railroad In question, the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul.
The witness whose testimony evoked this
display of the commissioner's Judgment of
the merits of the railroad's present plea
for higher rates was William M. Ellis,
commerce counsel for the St. Paul. Ellis
had testified that his company was suffer.
Ing from too much business, that the In
crease had meant an Increase in the unit
of cost which grew faster than the unit
of income, thereby threatening the yearly
surplus of earnings above payment . of
dividends and cost of operation and main
tenance. Lane's Statement.
Commissioner Lnne said:
"As the country develops there will be
more and more freight delivered to you
and as conditions are now the rates con
stantly must be Increased, according to
railroad officials. I regard It as a menace
to the country If the rates constantly are
to be Increased. We must work out this
problem oil lines other than by the
proposed methods of raising the tariffs. It
not, there is no time when we can say
the maximum has been reached."
This unexpected development in the rate
hearing came as a result of the inquiry
Into the Bt. Paul's profits, particularly
from the public lands acquired in recent
years. Mr. Ellis denied the commissioner's
suggestion that the road's optimism when
It built -the transcontinental extension had
turned to pessimism now.
"If it had not been tor that road." he
said, "we would have had nothing from
operation to add to our surplus last year.
That extension added about 62,600,000 to the
suiplus, in addition to the 62.59,573 from
other sources. Our total surplus Is about
SM.OOO.OOO." He then told the commissioners
that expense cost was overtaking earnings,
and would continue as long as more traffic
was handled as must expected.
Percentage of Profit Less,
In answers to ''questions put to htm Mr.
Ellis- said that If the gross Income next
year went to 6T9,000,000 from this year's fig
ures of fi4,X(0,ori0, the percentage of profit
would be lees.
"Do you mean to say the cost of doing
the additional 615,000,000 in business would
be equal to that sum?" was asked.
"I mean the percentage of profit would
not be so great," raid Mr. Ellis.
Attorney H. C. Lust, representing the
Illinois manufacturers, asked: ,
"Mr. Ellis, you say your gross income
last year from other sources was 69,000,000;
what are those sources?"
"Chiefly the Puget Sound division," he
answered.
"The St. Paul owns all the stock, and in
1910 received 66,000,000 In the bonds," Inter
rupted CommlsHioner Lane again.
"Do you mean to say the Puget Sound
branch paid all Its operating expenses fur
the ten years and In addition 68,000,000 in
terest on its capitalization?"
"Well, that was interest for a year and
a nan. uowever, ll also earned a surplus
of nearly 63,OOC,000."
"How was the Puget Sound division paid
for?" askeu Mr. Lane.
"By a bond Issue ot 6100,000.000 sold to
stockholders."
"And in addition to the surplus a 7 per
cent dividend was paid on that issue last
year?"
"Yes."
"About 618.000,000 profit all told; that is,
on each 67,000,000 or so paid you received in
this time 61.000,000?"
"That's not quite correct You see the
St Paul owns the surplus of 62,200,000 of
the Puget Sound line in addition."

Interrupted to ask;
"If that surplus was added to the earn

ments for and against a postponement of
the Lorlmer investigation until after thel
November election, the senatorial commit
tee adjourned its tlrst formal aeeslon to-
-day until tomorrow, morning without de
ciding any of the questions presented to it.
The plea for postponement of the hearing
was made by Attorney Elbrldge Hanecy,
counsel for Senator Lorlmer.
Attorney Clifford W. Barnes of the legis
lative Voters' league, who filed a petition
with the United States senate, embodying
the charges of fraudulent methods In the
election- of Senator Lorlmer, opposed the
the continuance, declaring that the sena
torial committee had a solemn duty to per
form to help "purge the state of Its disgrace."
"Part of niv Plot."
Counsel for Senator Lorlmer touched on
the political dispute of the Illinois deep
water project. He asserted that not only
were legislators being attacked because of
their having voted for Senator Lorlmer,
but because they had voted against spend
ing $20,000,000 for deep waterway purposes.
This portion of the argument was m line
with the speech of Senator Lorlmer in the
senate when he charncterlxed the chnrSX-s
against him a part of a great political
plot In which the governor of the state of
Illinois had' Joined Hands with the news
paper which printed the confession of
Legislator Charles A. White.
Attorney Hsnecy argued that to proceed
with the Investigation would be unfair to
Senator Lorlmer and also to the various
members of the state legislature who voted
for him and are now seeking re-election.
"Senator Lorlmer is ready nnd anxloin
that the whole truth shall be known," said
Attorney Hanecy. "He wants to call Minor
Ity Leader Browne and State Senator
Broderlck to testify. They are now under
Indictment, their trial Is coming off and
they, on the advice of the counsel, will re
fuse to testify except oa compulsion. This
committee can compel them to testify, but
Senator Lorlmer does not wish them forced
to go on the witness stand and give evi
dence that might possibly be to their dis
advantage at their trial."
The committee then adjourned for the
day to meet again at 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning. -
. Objection to Continuance.
Attorney Barnes, In "opposing the con
tinuance, said: "The Legislative Voters'
league is a disinterested party in this pro

court of the United States next month,
when that tribunal will be asked to decide
whether an insurance company is liable on
a policy taken' upon' a rttamcr against the
perils of capture on a voyage from San
Francisco to Vladivostok during the Russo-Japanese
war.
The vessel in question Was the British
ship M. S. Dollar. Late In 1M it was de
aired to send the steamer to Vladivostok
with a cargo and In order to protect th
owners from loss by capture they took out
a policy against this pent wlU th Mari
time Insurance company, limited, a British
corporation.
The vessel was seized off the coast ot
Japan about four days' sail from Vladi
vostok and subsequently was condemned.
It is claimed by the Insurance company
that it Is not liable because It not only
carried papers showing Vladivostok as its
real destination, but also another set of
papers showing MoJI, Japan, as the desti
nation. The circuit court of appeals for th ninth

ble. On account of th conflict law on the
I subject the supreme court will be asked
to direct the circuit court of appeals to
send th oas to It for review.
