PHILADELPHIA, ! Deo. 19,Presldent '
Samuel Bea of the Pennsylvania Railroad
company in a statement today said that
he regarded the railroad rate decision
handed down by the Interstate Com
merce commission' yesterday as the be
ginning of broad, constructive policy In
railroad regulation. The statement says:
"I regard this decision as the. beginning
of a broad, constructive policy In rail
road regulation so Imperatively required.
It certainly indicates that the oommlsslon
has ' been . seriously Impressed by actual
railroad and financial conditions, and we
recognise that. the commission has care
fully considered the entire situation and
rendered what -It believes to be a fair
and equltablo decision.
Does' Not Go Far Enaogrfc.
"The deelsoin, - however, granted an In
crease on only about 60 per cent of the
freight business of our system, and It la
not so far reaching' as the railroads be
lieve to be necessary; therefore, the rail
roads, as the commission emphasises,
must continue their efforts to conserve
and augment .. their revenues-from the
sources the commission previously recom
mended. "We desire prosperity, but It .Is impos
sible for the count. y to prosper' while
railroad reverses and credit are Inade
quate and therefore the increased rates
should be generally helpful. Relying on
the protection of public regulation, we
will utilize the additional revenue in con-,
tinning our lines and equipment In good
condition to render the best possible pub
lic service and in sustaining our credit
on a sound basis.- ,
More Moaer for Malls.
"The federal government should In the
same spirit award the railroads the ad
mittedly Just compensation, so long with
held, for the carriage of malls and par
cels post, and trje citizens should see to
It that the legislatures; federal and state,
relieve the railroads from enforced waste
ful expenditures. V Under such, a helpful
policy publto regulation rests on a .solid
foundation and confidence and prosperity

BEK1-1N. Dec. l.-(ny t ireless lo Hy-
vlllc.) In the absence of further advices
regarding the reported Ocmnn vlrtory
In Kuftxtan Poland, the ucr-tnan news
papers jontulu little comment oft the situ
ation In that war arena. Indeed, while
It Is announced thAt the retiring Russians
are being followed up, nothing Is known
of the character of their retirement or the
pursuit and no details have been made,
public of Field Marshal Von Hliidenbergs
success.
In view of the conservative character of
the Urrmsn official reports Issued today,
the announcement made on Frldsy that
the situation In the region of Nleuport,
Belgium, continues favorable gives rise to
the general expectation that the next
news of importance may come from that
direction.
The Austrlans appear to have aban
doned for a time sll operations In Sorvla.
Teuton military critics are of the opinion
that the Auntrlnns were faced with the
question of either 'strengthening their
forces In Borvia or in western Oallcia and
that they chose the latter course as It I'
was the one that required the greatest
urgency. Later events, the military ob
servers said, fully Justified the Austrian
army headquarters staff decision. Tho
operations In Kervla will be resumed, It Is
expected. If western Oallcia Is cleared of
trie Russians.

If a federal statute makes It a crime
for a man to aid In Issuing certificates
of deposit without authority, with In
tent "to Injure or defraud" a bank, is an
Indictment faulty that charges him with
doing so "to injure and defraud" the

After listening to lengthy arguments
on this point Saturday afternoon oy W.
