New Schedule of
Passenger Fares
Will Be Lower
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
made effective May 1, IBM. Passenger
officials of railways entering Chicago
last night said It Is doubtful If tho task
of revising the tariffs can be completed
within the time limit prescribed by tho
commission.
The long and short haul clause of the
Interstate commerce law which prohibits
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

Thousands of other Interstate and some

linked with Mr, Elliot's this morning as
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
public wiU wonder how his policies could
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.

felt it necessary to resign because of
the existence of certain disquieting possi
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

was written to Mulhall by Secretary

for It." A letter from Mulhall to formet

Mulhall testified yesterday that ho had

Hushes In 1910. MeClave today wired
Senator Cummins he would leave Jersey
City at noon aiitl the committee decided
to hear him as soon as ho reached Wash
ington. Tho cross-examination of Mulhall on
MeClave yesterday aroused the Ire- of
the two republican members of the com
mittee, who dcolared It was an' attempt
w piay pontics.
Schedtmoh' wrote Mulhall August 20
if
ia not about the. sJCuatlon In Indiana; which. n
In. iajsoldjlValsi..',vei-y critical,'" and- ended "if
, iris"! we win, most of the credit -will be due to

Ilron cr Fight Jenkins. .
In August a fight In tho Eleventh WU
consln district, "where Jenkins was up
for re-election, apparently was worrying
the manufacturers, although tho National
Brewers' association, through Ha natlonU
chairman, wrote Mulhall It was "their
fight." -
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
turers August 27, Hlnea spoke of n pro
mise to send J1.0CO to "go Into the right
channel to be used for legltimato pur
poses In Jenkins' district.
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
pressed in the principles of the Nutlonal
Association of Manufacturers."
A Id (ilvrn Deuliy.
A letter of September 1, 190S, from -C.
B. Anthony, vice president of the man
ufacturers, to Van Cleavo asked him If
tliero was any way for the association to
aid "our good friend, Hon. Kdwln Denby,
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'
and breakfast with A. I. Vorys, "Mr,
Taft's chief of staff."
"Vorys was an entirely different man
to what he was In Chicago," the letter
ijald. "He is more than anxious to have
home of our people see Judge Taft and
to get our people actively to work, I
convinced Vorys that if ho wished to get
a 'large percentage ot our organization
buiv ho had better get Judge Taft to get

Difference.
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
tions, was1 10J,000,()0(, whereas' tho demo
crats of the senate In caucus, by sweep
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
coming fiscal year, tho report estimates
that tho receipts from customs alono
under tho new bill wilt be 266,730,000, from
Income tux for ten months 88,330,000,
corporation tax 137,000,000, Internal rev

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
