Eastern railroad managers are alarmed over Commissioner Clark's Interpretation of the Missouri Valley rats case decision. In this decision the Interstate Commerce com mission decided the rates from Chicago to the Missouri river were too high on moat classes of, goods, and especially on dry goods. It baa been explained by expert to the Chicago Association of Commerce that ths decision means the announcement by the commission of a new' principle, which will revolutionise all theories and uractlces of tats making. Ths railroad managers declare that ths decision event ually will meaa ths loss of many millions of revenue to the railroads. Commercial associationa of ths larger traffic centers like Chicago, Ffttsburg and St. Louis are fearful that when carried to its logical conclusion It will in-sn a com plete reversal of the commercial and In dustrial map of the country. They fear it will meaa ths reduction of some of the commercial neuters th bulldlnc op of others. A great change In the trend of commerce through the country is antic! pated. The shippers say they are certain of one thing, and that is that there will be ' a stubborn tight in the court. No Competitor Gets C. G. W. The Chicago Great Western will not be sold to any competing lines or to any other line, according to the decision of the Eng lish committee of the debenture holders v. hich has decided upon a plan of reorgan isation. The feature of this plan is ths merging of the preferred "8" and common stock into ons class of stock and in working out the arrangement 100 shares of preferred "B" will be considered the equivalent of 930 shares of the common. When the road went into the hands of receivers on January I there was outstanding 134,127.000 of debenture stock, dividends on which are cumulative, and other stock Issues a fol lows: Eleven million, three hundred and thirty-seven thousand dollars of preferred "A." t3.104.00t preferred "B" and SU.46S.000 common.

'I do not think any fight over the senar torshlp, if there Is one, would endanger the state for Taft," said Mr. Hull. 'Iowa should go republican by 60.0G0, If not more.

FATAL TRIP FOR EXPLORER Mylius Erlchsen and Companions Per ish in Greenland. DRIVEN TO SEA' ON ICE FLOE Party Waa Trytasj t Cross Eteraal Saowcap of' Greealaaal Throng Region Devoid af All Food. COPENHAGEN, Aug. $. Mylus Erlch sen, the Danish explorer, hae met his death In the far north, according to Infor mation contained in a telegram to the com mittee of Denmark-Greenland expedition Erlchsen and two of his companions who sailed with him from Copenhagen July St, 1906, to the unexplored regions of the north eastern coast of Greenland, perished in a snowstorm. The three men were on an expedition over th loe when disaster over took thm. Otherwise to exploring party ha been successful. Large tract of unknown land hare been mapped out and th entire northeastern coast of Greenland baa been charted. ' A telegram says that Ertchseu and his companions were on an Ice floe which drifted out to sea, TbJr provisions became exhausted and . they '( drifted for . days, growtng weaker and' waker.--When the floe waa ' finally driven sack to-land the three men did not nave sufficient strength to make the effort necessary to return to the station. Tbey must have perished on the shore. The Esquimaux who brought in the newt of the disaster arrived at the station In a dying condition and succumbed immediately after making his report. ladertakes Perilous Trip. Myllus Erlchsen had devoted several years to the exploration of Greenlsnd. He has made several trips north, supported financially by the Danish government. Mr. Erlchsen planned on this last trip, and this was the most adventurous portion of his undertaking, to cross the eternal ice cap of Greenland at its broadest part by means of snow shoes, dog sleds and sn automobile. He ia supposed to have set out about March, 1SJ6, accompanied by ooe of his staff and two Greenlanders belong ing to the crew. Erlchsen and the three men were to proceed to the unknown Ice dome of the Interior, which rises at its highest to 10,000 feet sbove rea level. This region is completely devoid of vegetable and animal life and here is to be found one of the cold poles of the northern htm- lephere. It Is doubtful if man could live there In the coldest season. Under the cir cumstances the leader chose the months of March. April and May for his venture. He hoped to compass this venturesome Journey in about two and a half months, coming out on the west coaat. THIRTEEN KILLED BY YAQUIS Raacbsaea Ar Coinblalag to Resist th Indians oa tne War path.

DON'T YOU THINK YOU COULD LEAJtN TO BILL. LF YOU COULD MANAGE TO LOOSEN UP THAT HILL TALKS TO HISTORIANS Asnerleaa Ambassador to Germssr Is Waraaly Keeelved at Ber lin CosgreM, BERLIN, Aug. 6. The International Con gress of Historical Sciences, whose annual sessions have attracted scientists from all parts of the world, Is being held this year from August 6 to August 12 in the great Philharmonic hall here. The governing body selected Dr. . David Jayne Hill, am bassador of the United States to Germany, for tha distinction of delivering the open ing address. Dr. Hill dealt In his lecture with "the ethical function of th historian." In closing he said: Th one constant factor In the historic process is human nature, which Is some times governed by reason, but generally moved by impulse. The business of the historian, therefore, is not to make his tory seem reasonable by placing upon It a scientific stamp foreign to its nature, but to display the motives that have de termined the historic process as it has in reality been unfolded. If he is thus faithful In his exposition of motive and result, his work will have a far greater scientific value than If he Imports Into it principles and methods borrowed from other sciences dealing with materials of a different nature, or products e! purely Intellectual abstraction, for the effect of this importation is to Impart to history an appearance of reasonableness that it does not In reality posses. Thus, from every point of view, we see that the function of the historian is not to deal with uniformities and universal formulas, but with the variations of hu man conduct and to measure its success and Its failure upon ths scale of rational endeavors; for history Is the - record of man's effort t lsw the1' problems with which his nature and his environment confront him. It Is good for mankind to realise that, although living in s universe governed by lew. as a result of its free dom is has sometimes gone wrong, and that, without loyal adherence to great principles, it may go wrong again. Ths best antidote to this eventually is a trua science of the past. But. whethep It be for good or for evil, as men of science, dealing with the largest and most In structive aspect of human development, historians are bound by that scientific conscience which Is the test, the badg and the glory of their profession, to un veil reality and to give reolng to th words. "Die Weltgeschlchte 1st das Weltgericht." Prince Frederick Leopold was present a the representative of Emperor William. Dr. Pethmann-Holweg, minister af the in terior, welcomed the delegstes In the name of Chancellor Von Buelow and the empire. The mayor of Berlin made a speech in be half of the municipality In which he said he hoped the congress woufd be a second peace conference. Dr. Hill then read his address, at the con clusion of which he was warmly applauded: GIVES BUILDING TO THE POPE Two Haadred American Pilgrims Ar Received at the Vatican by FM PI as.

Aug. 8 -Followlng a technical analysis cf federal procedure by Judge Henry C. McDowell of Lynchburg, William H. Taft today addressed the Vir ginia Bur assoclat!on. giving In detail hla views on the delay In the administration of the law and suggestions for reformers. Judgp Taft presented his suhjtct by stat ing that the end sought in the adminis tration of Justice wss to promote trsn qutllity and contentment among ths peo ple. It hnd, hs said, long been established, that the supreme court of the United State was the ultimate arbiter of the great po litics! and legal Issues, deciding upon ths limitation of both the legislation and exec utive branches of the government, which hsd carried th usefulness of the courts beyond anything attempted In other coun tries. Notwithstanding this deslrabl situa tion, Mr Taft expressed a doubt that our present administration of Justice insured general popular satisfaction with Its re sults. "There are." he said, "abundant evMsnrea that the prosecution of criminals have not been certain and thorough to the point of preventing popular protest. The existence of lynching 1n alt parts cf the country is ' directly traceable to this lack of uniformity and thoroughness In the enfrooement of our criminal lnws." Shoald Limit Ts of Property "The present is a time when all our In stitutions are being subjected to closs scrutiny with a view to the determination whether w have not now 'i.ej the Instl tutlons upon which modern society rests to tho point of proving thst some of them should be radically changed. The chief at tack is on ths Institution of private prop erty and Is based upon the inequalities in the distribution of wealth and of human happiness that ar apparent In our pres ent system. I believe that the Institution cf private property, next to that of per sonal liberty, has had most to do with the uplifting and physical and moral improve ment of the whole human race, but that Is not inconsistent with th rights of prlvstj property to Impose limitations upon Its uses for unlawful purposes and that this is the remedy for reform ratter than the abolition of the institution Itself. Rnt this scrutiny of our Institutions, this Increas ing deposition to try experiments to see whether titers is not some method by which human happiness may be more equally dis tributed than It Is, ought to make thoas of us who really believe In our Institutions as essential to further progress, anxious to remove real and Jut.t grounds for criticism In our present system. I venture to think that one evil which ha not attracted the attention of the community st large, but which Is likely to grow In Importance a the Inequality between the poor and rich in our civilization Is studied, is the delays In the administration of Justice between Individuals. As be,aeen two wealthy cor porations or two wealthy Individual liti gants and where the subject matter of the, litigation reaches to tens and hundreds of thousands of dllsrs, our present system, while not perfect, is not so far from proper1 results ai to call for anxiety. The Judges of the country, both state and national, ar average good men. Venality in our Judges Is very rare. Uneqaai Borden of Delays, "The Inequality that exists in our pres. nt sdmlnistratlon of Justice and that sooner or later Is certain to rise 2nd trouble us and , to call fur popular condemnation and in form is In the unequal burden which the delays snd expense of litigation under our s.vslem imposes upon the poor litigant." One remedy, Mr. Taft aald, must be re form in our Judicial procedure, which I now too cumbersome. Another would be more expedition on the part of Judges In rendering tin lr opinions. Delay, he said, always worked to the detriment of the poor and the benefit of the wealthy litigant. As to appeals Mr. Taft billeves that "th court of first mian(e" and the Intel me diate appellate court should be for the pur pose of finally dispoxing in a Just and prompt way of contentions between liti gants. The appellate Jurisdiction of th court of last resort should be limited to those esses which are typical and whi n givn an i.pp.jrtunlly to cover the whole lied i f the law. Redaction of tesrt Fees. "I belief that a great reform might bt etfe ted certainly In the federal court, and I think, too, in the state courts, by a ! mandatory reduction of the court coats and ft-t. Th salaries of the court officers should be fixed and should bs paid out of the treasury of the country, state or n ticnal government, as the case may be, and lees should be reduced to a low a f.gure as possible. "I think another step in ths direction of the dUiatch of litigation would be the re ijulreweiit of higher qual.fications for those Jju-s who sil In the cases involving a small pecuniary amount. "Another method by wh'ch their irtita tlun at the inequality in our administration of Justice may be reduced is by the intro duction of a system for the settling of damage suits brought by employe against public service corporations through off. cal arbitration and Khout resort to Jury trials. Such a system Is working In Eng land, as 1 am informed, and has ben successfully inaugurated in Massachusetts. No one can l.sve sat on th federal bench as I did for eight or nine years and not tealiie how detective the administration of Jubt.ce in these cases must have em. d to the defeated plaintiff, whether he nas the legless or armless employs himself or his personal representatlvea" Dlsroaats Jury Trials. As to the Jury system Sir. Taft laid: "We cani.ot, of durst-, dispense with lb Jury system. It is that wokh n.akes the people a part of the admlnstratton of Jus tice, but every means which In civil case litigant may be Induced voluntarily to avoid th expense, delay and burden trials, ought to be aacouragtd botaus la LLlg way 4, ! i
