, NEW YORK. April tt. The Interstate
Commerce commission today continued Its
Investigation into the complaint against
.the. antbraclto coal carrying railroads filed
by William R.-Hearst.
' When the bearing opened today counsel
for Mr. Hearst called for the contracts
between the Temple Iron company, the
Lehigh Valley, the Lackawanna and the
Reading railroads. The contracts had been
brought. Into the room by the secretary of
a trust company which held them,' but
counsel for' the railroads objected to their
introduction on the ground that the Tem
ple Iron company is not named in the com
plaint. . Counsel for complainant called first for
one dated April 10, 1899, between the Erie
railroad and the Temple Iron company by
.which, the railroad company guarantees
the stock and bonds of the Iron company.
,Judg CampbU of the Reading, objected
nd - at his suggestion Mr. Shearn called
Individually for all the papers he wanted,
.that the one objection might cover them all.
' ' Mr.' Shearn said the contracts .will show
a combination or pool of the freight agents
la vJolatloa of. the law. .. t. ,. ,
, Hny Off Independents.
'Mry Shenrn .'also .' declared that' when
Simpson and Watklns, who controlled eleven
.'collieries, mads a move to build an inde
pendent , railroad, the ' Baer systems, the
, Lehigh Valley, Delaware, Lackawanna ft
Western, New York ft Susquehanna and
Erie .combined and bought them off through
the Temple Iron company. The roads, he
declared, guaranteed the stock and bonds
of the Iron company to the extent of $5.
000,000. All the contracts were alike In
wording and executed on the same day.
"These contracts," Mr. Bhearn aald, "will
prove every material allegation In our pe
tition. The" railroads are banded together
. in a bard and fast agreement which stifles
alt competition In the coal carrying trade."
' Counsel for the railroads denied this.
Thoy declared that the. Temple Iron com
pany, was acquired by George F. Baer and
the interests friendly to him because it
owned a charter that the railroad and
mining officials needed. A representative
of the trust holding the contracts denied
the rljiht. pt the commission o Investigate

-Replying to Commissioner Prouty, coun
sel for the railroads said the rates on an
thracite were not double those on bitumi

. "I claim , that these contracts furnish
evidence of a pool In violation of the
statute," sald Mr. Shearn. "The Temple
Iron company la nothing but a sham."
- The commission Instructed the represen
tative of. the trust company to produce the
contracts.' but he refused to do so. .
According to custom, the commission will
certify .the refusal to the United 8tatea
circuit court,' which will determine whether
the contracts must be produced.
Finds Agralast Ra.IIroe.de.
ID the Proctor and Gamble case the com
mission finds against the railroads as to
less than carloads, as follows:
The actlort of defendants in increasing the
clasMincatlon of soap In less than carloads
from fourth to third c'.uas was unreasonable
and unjust under the act to regulate' com
merce, and their subsequent .practice of
applying ft) per cent less than third class
rates on 'such traffic in also unlawful.
As to carloads of soap, the commission
feds the action of defendants In placing
scap with common grades of grocery mer
chandise In the fifth class, and refusing to
reduce soap In carloads to the sixth class,
v. as no unlawful, while other articles with
which carloads were properly compared
were retained In the fifth class.
"But," the decision adds, "this shall not
operate to preclude the commission from
holding In an appropriate proceeding that
fifth class rates In this territory are ex
cesslve." , .

ROOSEVELT'S BRIEF HOLIDAY IS OVER

Only Fladlns; One Species He
Did Rot Know Before Bar
r oaths Showed It. '
CINNABAR, Mont., April 23.--PresIdent
Roosevelt's vacation Is at an 'end. Hs
greeted the members of bis party and a
large number of people at the Mammoth
Springs hotel In Yellowstone park today
and tomorrow will resume his tour. '
The president, who arrived at;Tort Yel
lowstone yesterday. Is the picture of health.
His eye is bright and his face bronzed.
Word had gone forth, several .days ago
that he would meet tbe people In the park,
and when he arrived at the Mammoth Hot
Springs hotel, where the reception was
held, he found a couple of hundred men
and women there to greet htm. The pres
ident addressed them briefly, speaking of
tbe good time ha had had during the past
two weeka, and then shook hands with each
one. He spent tbe rest of the day In In
specting the post and riding horseback with
Major Pitcher.
Will Lay Stone Today.
Before starting tomorrow he will partici
pate In laying the cornerstone of the new
gate at the north entrance to the park.
The president spent most of hla time In
atudylng the habits of the different species
of game. He lay for hours near a herd of
elk or mountain goats and frequently walked
eight or ten miles to observe them. He
also studied bird life with Mr. Burroughs
and showed himself particularly well posted
on the subject. Mr. Burroughs was able to
show him but one bird with which he was
not acquainted, namely, the solitaire.
The president's camp equipment was
composed of two Sibley tents and another
tent, with board floors, and while every
thing was simple It was quite comfortable.
Tbe party accompanying him was a small
one, consisting of Major Pitcher, Mr. Bur
roughs, a couple of orderlies and two
cooks. There also was a small force of
men to man the packwagon.
An amusing Incident occurred during the
visit to Oeyserland. The president and
Mr. Burroughs were on skis racing down
hill. The snow was soft and Mr. Burroughs,
who had never used a ski, soon found him
self with his head in the snow and his feet
in the air. He had hardly struggled' to
his feet when the president repeated the
performance. Neither - one was hurt, but
Major Pitcher secured excellent photo
graphs of the catastrophe, which he has
promised to have developed.
The party was fortunate In running
across game. Thousands of elk and deer
and a number of mountain sheep and goats
were encountered, and Mr. Burrougha also
saw many strange birds, and the latter Is
quite enthusiastic over some of the feath
ered tribe that Inhabit the park.
Empty Shell Draws Blood.
While no accident occurred, the president
had a number of narrow escapes. - One day
he fired a new revolver at a tree. The
weapon was .defective and the empty shell
flew back and struck him on the cheek,
drawing blood. If It had struck a lit'
tie higher- it would have Injured if not
blinded one eye. 'This was -the only time
the- president used' a firearm 'during hit
tour of the park. s ... .
Tbe first three days In camp the weather
was extremely cold and the president was
compelled to break the ice in hla bucket
before washing.
Pitcher Keeps Diary.'
Major Pitcher kept a diary,, which gives
an Idea of how the president spent his days.
It follows:
April 8 Left the post at f a. m. and ar
rived at the camp on Yellowstone river
about 1:80 p. m. At night a large fire was
lighted near the president's tent and alter
dinner the party sat around It and told
hunting stories until bedtime. This was al
most a nightly performance.
April 10. Before starting out the presi
dent announced that he would under no
circumstances Are a shot In the park, even
If tempted to do so by a mountain lion up a
tree, lest he should vlve people ground for
criticism. Rode up the river aa far as Hell
Roaring. Saw a number of deer and elk
and also saw nn eagle attack a band of
elk. Had lunch on Hell Roaring creek,
consisting of hardtack and sardines.
April lL Rode about twemy-four miles
and got In among a band of nearly 2,000 elk.
One band followed the party for over a
mile. ,
April 12. As this was Sunday, the presi
dent decided that he would take a walk
alone. He tramped about twenty miles, and
spent the time among the elk.
April 13. Started for camp on Slew creek.
Roue slowly and watched the game. Much
snow was encountered and 81. creek was
entirely froxeu over, so could do no fishing.
April 14. Out looking for game. Found

Mr. Buuroughs among them. Arrived at
Tower Creek Falls camp tt 1 p. in.

basin and saw Old Faithful play.
April 20. Rode to Norrls.
April 21. Started for Canyon at 7 a.- m.

Session at Detroit
SITUATION IN TH: PHILIPPINES
Dr. rani S. Relaach of the Valverelty
at Michigan Calls Atteatloa to
Former aad Present Sys
tem In Manila.
DETROIT, April 23. The first business
taken up today at the second session of
the annual meeting of the National Mu
nicipal league was the election of officers.
The report of the nominations committee
wss adopted without debate, as follows:
Honorary president, James C. Carter,
New York; president, Charles Bonaparte,
Baltimore; first vice president, Charles
Richardson, Philadelphia; second vice presl
dent, Samuel B. Capen, Boston; third vice
president, Thomas N. Strong, Portland,
Ore.; fourth vice president, H. Dickson
Bruns, New Orleans; fifth vice president,
Edmund J. James, Chlcsgo; secretary, Clin
ton Rogers Woodruff, Philadelphia; treas
urer. George Burnhalt. Jr.. Philadelphia.
Among the members of ths executive com
mittee are H. B. Demlng, New York, chair
man, and James L. Blair, St. Louts.
After the election a paper on "Tbe Mu
nicipal Situation in the Philippines" was
read by Dr. Pau' S. Reinsch of ths Uni
versity of Michigan. This paper was based
on an article prepared by Csptsln Edwsrds,
chief of the insular bureau of tbe War de
partment. Municipal Government la Fhlllpplnea.
Dr. Reinsch said In part:
The condltlona in the Philippine islands
are such that the establishment of munici
pal Institutions closely modeled upon those
of the United 8tata would be very Inad
visable. Nevertheless, It ia In the munici
palities that the natives will have to re
ceive their first training in self-government.
Under the Bpsnlsh regime the fiscal au
tonomy of the rural and urban municipali
ties was exceedingly limited; a concentrated
control prevented all spontaneous activity.
Consequently, although by reforms Intro
duced during the rwet decade the Spanish
government established a form of represen
tation resting on a high suffrage Qualifica
tion, the real power remained centralised,
and the local authorities were looked upon
as useful chiefly In the colleeMon of taxes.
The military rule of our army In the
Philippines was remarkable for the manner
in which the military organisation was
sdapted to civil government, as well as for
the fact that the system of local govern
ment provided everywhere for popular
representation and election, with a moderate
property or educational qualltlcatlon.
Basis of Present Form.
The simple Institutions established by the
military, together with the better parts of
the Spanish system, have been made the
, basis of the present organization of local
government, aa it was provided for In the
Municipal Code." act No. 82, of the Philip
pine commission.
The most remarkable feature of this code
Is that It does not distinguish between
urban and rural municipalities. It com
prises all under one sys'em of local gov
ernment, which comes nearest to our county
system, but rests upon the Spanish division
of the country Into pueblos or towns.
The city of Manila occupies an excep
tional position, being governed under a apo
dal charter. The government of Manila Is
modeled on that of Washington, D. C; for
the officers are appointive, not elective, and
the Insular government pays one-third of
all the expenses of the city. This arrange
ment Is due to the fact that Manila, as a
great commercial center and the seat of
government, exbtbUa rather anomalous
characteristics, and could not well be
classed with the ordinary urban or rural
municipality of the Islands.
The government Is In the hands of a
municipal t board of three members, ap
pointed by the governor general. A popu
larly elected council, which, however, has
purely advisory functions, haa also been
Instituted.
The altuatton Is a hopeful one, and the
natives In many parts of the Islands show
enterprise and Intelligence In managing
their own affairs.
Dr. John F. Falrlle of the University of
Michigan delivered an address on "Instruc
tion In Municipal Government."
System of Maahoed.
Mr. Falrlle sstd In part:
Our municipal governments are based on
system of manhood suffrage, and good
munlc.pal government depends primarily
on an intelligent exercise of that suffrage.
The necessity for teaching future voters
the fundamental principles of American
government la very generally acknowl
edged even where the measures taken to
do this work are most deficient. It needs,
however, to be more clearly recognised
than la now the case in many quarters,
that the training of the future voters In
our cities Is by no means complete with
a study of the federal constitution, or even
Of the national and state governments, but
must alao Include a knowledge of that gov
ernment wh en ' neareit at nand and most
largely affecta the dally Uvea of the cltl
sens the government of the oity.
Two fundamental rule may be laid down
for this elementary instruction in municipal
government both in schools and In colleges.
First. If the main object of reaching the
main body of future voters Is to be at
tained, municipal government should not be
given the place of a special courae or a
special subject in the curriculum, but must
be Included as a part of a general course
In government or politics, which every stu
dent should be at least expected to take,
onniv tki mnhanl In thla aeneral 1 n-
! atructlon muat be laid, not so much on the
form of government as on tne luncuons
of ths officials and on the rights, respon
sibilities and duties of the cltlxens.
Systematic Instractlon.
In the high schools and academies It is
clearly both possible and advisable to give
systematic instruction in civil government,
including definite work in municipal gov
ernment: There la an obvious need for
impressing on the school authorities in
many cities the Importance of this subject
as part of the training of the coming voters
as to their duties and responsibilities. In
our colleges and universities, too, there
should be Instruction in municipal govern
ment, given as part of a general intro
ductory course in government, Intended not
for the specialised work of the advanced
atudenta, but for the main body of under
graduates. ...
I have attempted to suggest a correlated
scheme of Instruction in municipal govern
ment which may be roughly summarised
as follows: , .... . .
1. Simple lessons In the duties of public
agents in the elementary schools.
3. The systematlo study of one city In
high schools snd academies.
I. A comparative study of American
municipal government as part of a general
course In government In all our colleges
and universities.
4. A comprehensive study of municipal
government for advanced students In uni
versities; leading to
6. The technical courses In ths various
professional departments of the universi
ties. Secretary Stevens of the Municipal asso
ciation of Cleveland read a paper prepared
by Wilson L. GUI. who wss supervisor of
morals In Cuba during the American occu
pation, on "The School City."
ehoole Are a Remedy.
Mr. GUIs ssld In part:
If our nation la to be one of cltlsens and
not of subjects It must train Ita children as
cltlsens and stop training them as subjects.
So far as the individual who is governed
la concerned, all governments belong to
one or other of two kinds democratic, In
which he helps to determine Its policy and
laws and tc carry them Into execution,
and monarchical, of which be is a subject
without such participation.
A great maea of educated men neglect
primarlea and municipal electtona, thua ab
dicating the powers of sovereign American
citizenship. The field so free, the neck of
monarchy haa grown so large and strong
that the away of Ita bead Is aa absolute
as that of any tyrant of the old world. Wa
call blra "boss" or "leader," but be, good
or bad, Is no less our kind of csr. Wa
have the form of a democratic republic but
from some cities and statee the spirit of
democracy haa fled. Shall we let It go for
ever? Or shall wa do tha several things
which are absolutely necesaary for its
restoration?
That competent men stick too cloae to
their private bualnean and party politics
enter Into purely business offices and trans
actions are only symptoms. All government
in contact with which educated people
coma while their character and -habits are
being formed, la monarchy. That la a chief
root of the dlaeaae. If It aucceeda in pro
curing unquestioning obedience to school
authority It destroys the spirit ff thinking,
co-operating cltlaensblp. "
If It uneonecloualy produces sn undercur
rent of disregard sua contempt ef perevoej
responsibility for government and of estab
lished authority, it develops the spirit of
anarchy and establishes the habit of
neglecting one's political rights snd duties.
If this disease of the municipalities, and
states Is to be cured It must be by teaching
citizenship aa practically aa reaillng. writ
ing and arithmetic; by having all children,
from the youngest to the oldest, made Into
citizens Instead of subjects, and guided by
teai-hers In the defense of their rights and
performance of the duties of faithful Ideal
citizenship. The school city Is a thoroughly
successful method of accomplishing this ob
ject A school fa given a charter and organised
aa a city, each room has a ward. 'All the
children elect a city oouncll, mayor and
other officers. A police department, and
others when wanted, are established. The
children make and execute their laws and
have their own Judiciary. Improvements In
government such aa the Initiative and ref
erendum are taught practically.
The moral results are fine and clvlo
knowledge Is Imparted rapidly. Children's
respect for teachers and for authority In
general Is Increased as ars the comforts
and pleasures of school life. The teacher'a
labors and expenditure of nervous force are
decreased. The general Introduction of the
school city, under competent supervision,
will restore to our cities and states the
spirit and the fact of a democratic republic.
At tbe close of discussion on municipal
instruction a resolution was adopted In
structing the Committee having that line
of work in charge to extend Its efforts so
ss to include prlmsry and high schools in
an addition to colleges.
The last paper of the session was re
view of the St. Louts bribery and perjury
disclosures, which was read by James L.
Blair, gensral counsel for the Louisiana
Purchase exposition.
