PRIVATE CAR LINES ON RACK Intentata Commerce Oammiuion Investi gating Refrigerator Service, RATES OF RAILROADS MUCH LOWER Pennsylvania and Illlnola Central Charge Much Less for Icing Than the Private Llnea Do, WASHINGTON. Oct. IS. What promisee to extend Into a legal and legislative battle against private car lines was precipitated by the Interstate Commerce commission by the course taken today at the beginning of the hearing Instituted to show the con nection between refrigerator car lines and railroads. Counsel for the commission directed every effort to bring out the fact that great railroad systems operating their own refrigerator car llnea give to their shipper tC much lower rate for refrigeration than la obtained on roads that are com pelled to operate In connection with private car lines. In this effort two railroads, not ably the Illinois Central and the Pennsyl vania, through their traffic freight man agers, who were on the stand the greater part of the day, apparently aided the com mission. As a result there were many sharp tllta between the counsel for the commission and the attorneya for the Ar mour car lines and other private com panies. The action of the commission In Initiating and prosecution the complaints has the double purpose of establishing it Jurisdiction over the private llnea and correcting the evils complained of. The chief contest is expected to develop on the point of jurisdiction. Objection from Armour Line. Chairman Knapp opened the hearing by reviewing the proceedings instituted and calling up the first case, which waa di rected practically against all of the roads of the southeastern United States and the Armour car lines. Frank Barry, who repre sented the Interstate Commerce commis sion, in bringing out the evidence and ex amining witnesses, stated that several road had not filed contracts existing with private car lines and these were called for by Chairman Knapp. Mr. Urlon, for the Armour car lines, objected to proceeding until the commission has announced the general scope and purposes of the In quiry and indicated whether there Is to be a concrete finding on which aome subse quent proceedings could be had. The commission after consultation an nounced that formal complaints had been filed against specific companies to ascer tain whether thetr charges are reasonable or. if discriminations are made against any persons and that it was not prepared to gay what Us subsequent course would j be. Illlnola Central Owns Cara. - F. B. Bowles, freight traffic manager of the Illinois Central road testified .hat his railroad operates 2,458 refrigerator car and had ho agreement with private car llnea for additional cara. He said, however, there la a difference in the amount paid, according to the territory In which the cure are operated. He eald the rato north of Cairo, 111., is 1' cent a mile and from Chicago to the aoutheast of a cent a cars. Mr. Bowles filed a statement to show that the Illinois Central railroad refriger ator cars average about forty-four miles a day, and If paid for on the mileage basis the receipts per car would be about 33 ' cents. In other words, he said the private car lines received a much higher rate for service than do the railroads themselves. Cost of Irion- Cars.

An hour before the announcement of his death was received at the bank, a telegram came from the comptroller of the currency at Washington to close the doors and ap pointing Bank Examiner John J. Cunning ham as receiver. Following closely on the exciting events In lower Allegheny came the announcement of the president, of the bank, Fred Gwln- ner. sr.. that Clark had loaned thousands of dollars to Pennsylvania politicians; that he himself had endorsed a note for $,000 yesterday for Clark, concluding with the statement, "That if the shortage waa only $100,000 he would gladly pay It himself." The bank has state deposits which will amount to about $S00,000, of which $398,000 Is In the checking or active account and the rest Is state sinking funds. . Money Loaned to Politicians. Mr. Owlnner in his statement ssld: "Nearly $700,000 of the $800,000 state de posits of our bank is out on paper of state politicians. W. H. Andrews has borrowed nearly $400,000; Frank J.

But earlier In the afternoon the bank examiner was of the opinion that the bank was Insolvent and so notified the comp troller at Washington. - At the bank thla morning notices were sent out to the directors for a special meet ing at 1 o'clock this afternoon.. An hour twforw - tXat" time '-The- barn sr was -Uloted., The meeting of the directors lasted for about an hour, after which President Fred erick Gwlnner, sr., made the sensational statements quoted. According to the examiner's report the re sources and liabilities of the Enterprise bank in the last report, made August 25. were $2,973,169.56 each. The Enterprise bank cleared through the Bank of Pittsburg. At that bank this afternoon It was stated that sufficient deposits were on hand from the Allegheny Institution to protect the clear ing house and that all checks had been sent back to the original banks. After the meeting one of the dlrectore stated that the books had been gone over hurriedly before the meeting, and as far as they knew they were all right. The direc tor said that Bank Examiner Cunningham would begin immediately an examination of all of the books of the bank. This will rc nulre about five days, he said, before a statement can be made.

Mrs. Clark's screams brought her two daughters and the servants to the room. Physicians were quickly called, but their servlres were of no avail. Mr. Clark had taken an ounce of lauda num and then shot hjmself. The presence of the empty laudanum bottle beside Mr. Clark seems to Indicate that the attempt at suicide had been contemplated previously, although he had said nothing that led his family to believe that he Intended to kill himself.

And in greeting all of you. 1 know that no ono will grudge my saying a special word of acknowledgement to the veteruiiH of the civil war. A man would Indeed be but a poor American who could without a thrill witness the way In whloh, In city after city In the north aa Ul the south, on every public occasion, tha men who wore tiie blue and the men who wore the grny now murch and etand shoulder to shoulder, giving tangible proof tiial we are all now in fact as well a In name a reunited people, a people infinitely richer all Americana by you men who fought in ! the great war. Last Memorial day 1 spoke Hi HionKlyn, at the unveiling or llie staluo of a northern general, under tiie auspioes of the Grand Army of the Republic, and that great audience, cheered every allusion to tiie vslor and self-devotion of tlio men who followed Lee as heartily as they cheered every allusion to the valor and self-devotion of the men who followed Crant. The wounds left by tho great civil war have long healed, but its memories te main. Grateful Legacy of War. ' Think of it, oh, my countrymen, think of the good fortune that is ours! That whereas every other war of modern times has leit feelings of rancor and bitterness to keep asunder the combatants, our great war has lett to tiie sons and daughters of the men who fought, on whichever side they fought, the, suinn right to feel the keenest pride in the groat deeds alike 'of tho men who fought on one side and of the men who fought on tho other. The proud Helf-KucrilR'f. the resuluto and dar ing courage, the high and steadfast de votion to the rixht as each man saw It, whether northerner or southerner, these 'liinlitles render all Americans, forever the debtors of those who in the dark days from '61 to 'lii proved their truth by their endeavor. Here around Richmond, here in your own state, there lies battlefield after battlefield, rendered forever memorable by tho men who counted death us but a little thing when weighed in the balance against doing t.ieir duty hs It was given them to see it 'these men have left us of the younger generation not merely the memory of what they did In war, but of whst they ditl In peace. Foreign observers predicted that when such a great war closed it would be impossible for the hundreds of thou sands of combatants to return to the paths of peace. They predicted ceaseless disor der, wild turbulence, the alternation of snarchy and despotism. But the good sense and self-restraint of tho average American citizen falsified these prophecies. The great armies disbanded and the pri vate In the ranks, like the officer who had commanded Mm, went back to take up (he threads of his life where he had dropped them when the call to arma came. It waa a wonderful, a marvelous thing. In a country consecrated to peace with hut an Infinitesimal pegular army, to develop rinicklv t! e tunc hosts which fronted I one another tietwwn the James and the Potomac and along the Mississippi and lta tributaries. But it was an even more won derful, an evf n more marvelous thing, how these, great hosts, once their work done, resolved themselves Into tha general fttbilu of the nutlon ( Forty Iran of K.ffert.

For forty yeara the south has made not merely a courageous, but at times a aesperaie struggle, us site nsa striven for inoul and material well-being Her success has been extraordinary, and : all citizens of our common country should , feel joy and pride in It; for any great deed iduuc, or auy Uuo quail Uea abvwu, by one
