CHICAGO. July 18. A revision down-'
ward of Interstate passenger fares has
been begun by western and central pas
senger associations In compliance with
an 'order by the Interstate Commerce
commission' that the new1 ratoa will be

of revising the tariffs can be completed
within the time limit prescribed by tho

a higher charge for a through rate than
the aggregate of the local fares,, became
effective July 1. 1910, but the commission
suspended the time for Its enforcement.
The rearrangement will Include a cut
In the faro between Chicago and MIsS

a possible successor to Mr. Mellen. ,
While some of the New Haven's direc
tors, It Is said, share the bellefThat Mr,
Mellcn's retirement is best In view of
the widespread criticism of his adminis
tration, others are said" to regret his
action at this time. A. E. Clark, secre
tary of the New Haven, said:
"Mr. Mellen has been maligned nnd
misunderstood, Five years from now the

have been condemned and who was re
sponsible for such condemnation."'

dent of . the New York, New Haven &
Hartford railroad was accepted by the
directors this afternoon. The resignation
is to be effective on the appointment of
his successor, whoso election was left in
the hands of a special committee.

bilities for the New Haven road and Its
allied properties." He added that he felt
he had 'been justified In everything ho
had done and would not attempt to ex
plain the causes that led to the "dis
quieting possibilities."
The following committee was appointed
to name his successor: J. P. Morgan,
Theodore N. Vnll, Samuel Ilea, William

Senator Cummins he would leave Jersey
City at noon aiitl the committee decided
to hear him as soon as ho reached Wash

MeClave yesterday aroused the Ire- of
the two republican members of the com

Ilron cr Fight Jenkins. .
In August a fight In tho Eleventh WU

Edward Hlnes. the Chicago lumberman,
who figured In the Lorlmer 'case, came
Into the hearing again today. Mulhall
swore that In a letter to "the manufac

mise to send J1.0CO to "go Into the right
channel to be used for legltimato pur

Schedtman wrote Mulhall on August 23:
"I don't consider Teddy nor Taft, nor
Sherman, nor Foraker, nor the rest of
those great men equal to Van Cleave,
Parry, Klrby nnd the others, yho have
given freely of their energy nnd their
money to the great causo which Is ex

Association of Manufacturers."

of the First Michigan district."
It added the suggestion was made with
out the knowledge of Denby. An un
signed letter to Anth'ony, September 3,
which Mulhall said was from Van Cleave,
said: ,
"We must, of course, do nil that Is In
our, power. for Mr. Denby."
September )1. 1908. Mulhall wrote E.
Schwedtman about a visit to Cincinnati'

"Vorys was an entirely different man
to what he was In Chicago," the letter
ijald. "He is more than anxious to have

to get our people actively to work, I
convinced Vorys that if ho wished to get
a 'large percentage ot our organization

WASHINGTON. July 18,-An average
reduction of 27.ftl per cent Under the rates
of tho flxlstlng Tayno-Aldrlch tariff law
Is proposed by the democratic Underwood-Simmons
tariff bill upon which the
senate began aencrnl debate according
to the report ot the flnanco committee
majority submitted by tha chairman,
Senator Simmons.
The report also shows that the bill re
ported to tho senate provide rated Cli
per cent lower than the Underwood bill
as It passed the house and that from It
together .with other government receipt
for the f!;al ynr ending June J0.19M,
there will bo an estimated surplus In
the government treasury of 12,020,000.
A salient' feature ot this bill, it is
pointed out. Is the largo Inbraso of Im

Imports, on the basis of tho 1912 Importa

ing change, propose to fVcn-lfat imports
valued, at 1(47,307,009, an Increase In tin
dutiable, Imports over the house bill of
M3.267.OO0.
Upon the basis of ten months tor the

that tho receipts from customs alono
under tho new bill wilt be 266,730,000, from
Income tux for ten months 88,330,000,

790,000, a balance Is shown In favor of
tho government of 12,202,000.
Ilnasr Feature Dropped.
In analyzing Its changes In the house
administrative features of the bill thu
committee "deemed tho amendments ot
tho house entirely too drastic," par
ticularly those nuthorlrlng examination
of books of foreign manufacturers, a 5
per cent tariff discount on imports In
American ships and other like features
which were stricken out. Particular at
tention is called to the senate provision
"designed to furnish the president with
power to Impose tariff duties of a re
taliatory character upon all articles com
prised In a specified list," which Includes
many agricultural products.
"For some years," says the report In
referring to this retaliatory provision,
"thoro has been a development' of maxi
mum and minimum tariffs abroad, and In
not a few Instances tho government of
the Unltod States has been compelled to
see Its citizens subjected to harsh and
discriminating tariff treatment abroad
without being able under tho law to ot
