lAssociottd Press Report.)
PASSAIC N. J. May 9. IrS a speech
before .the Passaic board of trade here
tonight In which he discussed the legis-
lative situation In Washington President
Taft declared with a great deal of em'
phasls and amid an outburst of applause
that the railroad bill has not been emas-
culated In any vital way and predicted
that a satisfactory law would be passed.
"The bill" said the president" still
retains Its Important features and I am
hopeful that within the next few weeks
we shall see the passage of the bill In
toth houses the adjustment of the dlfil-
ultlei between the two houses and Its
fibal enaetment."
The president declared that the news-
paper reports of the ripping of the rail-
road bill has been greatly exaggerated.'
lie ald he hoped the provision which
stock pf competing road to acquire iBPi SFS?' 'I at. P0'1''"' th:
r . ... M s I enngs nai made t Ausfln whtn a crowdec
' remaining stock would be restored
y - 'That U the section that forbids the
' acquisition by one railroad company of

uch an Requisition- has already been
made .W-W per cent authorises the ac-
r to' 100 par cent" ha eJlaln." VThH
' ' was not proposed with the view of
strengthening the control or the acquir-
ing company for to per cent Is all that
la needed but it was to keep open a mar-
ket to the minority stockholders to sell
to the majority stockholders.
- HOPES SECTION WILL. BE RE-
STORED. "This too. It was thought In some way
Infringed on the anti-trust law and the
whole section was ripped. I am hopeful
the section may be restored to the ex-
tent of forbidding future acquisition by
one line of stock In a competing line. It
It true that such an act affecting Inter-
state commerce might be part of a Con-
spiracy to restrain competition and so
restrain trade and be punishable under
the anti-trust act but It would greatly
facilitate prosecutions of the specific act
If the acquisition of stock in a compet-
ing line could be denounced and punished
or prevented by injunction."
As to the commerce court feature he
as id:
"The advantage of the court Is that
we shall have a court of experts at Wash-
ington very familiar with the whole busi-
ness of Interstate commerce and the de-
cisions affecting It and will be able to
dispose of the business before It promptly
1 and give efficacy to the orders of tha
Interstata commerce commission that aro
it legal. The whole object of the court Is
j-- expedition and the whole dofect of th
Interstate commerce procedure heretofore
f haa been delay. I regard the commerce
court as practically the most Important
feature In the bill. Thus far it has re-
' malned In the house although by a close
vote and It has not been stricken out In
. the senate."
"A GREAT STEP FORWARD."
" Concluding his reference to the railroad
bill. President Taft said:
" "Its passage means a great step forward
In the power of regulation entrusted to
the interstate commerce commission sub-
Ject to a court review. It does not trans-
fer and I should be loath to do this
- from the board of directors to the lnter-
state commerce commission the power of
'!.. running and operating the railroad. It
still leaves wide discretion In the owners
of the property but the powers exercised
" by the commission I am confident can
be exercised for good 'and It will not re-
move the existing motives of enlightened
o'. i self-instruction and Improvement by the
owners of railroads In the methods and
. .; cost of -transportation."
. V - REVIEW OF LEGISLATION.
fc-Is In his review of pending legislation Mr.
F ; ' Taft expressed the belief that the follow-
! ft? ! tng measures besides the railroad bill
Will b enacted Into law: '
Statehood for Arizona and New Mexico.
Ji !. Postal aavintra banks
Antl-lnjunctlon.
The so-called validating bill of the con-
servation measures.
The publicity of campaign expendi-
tures. In his comment on the delay In passing
tha Statehood bill the president acknowl-
edged that there Is a "hesitation" on tho
part of the republicans In the senate to
j pass a bill which is so likely to add four
ftf f democrats to the senate."
iJ ( "Or If not democrats" he added. In
taking what was regarded aa a little
f t passing reference to some insurgents "re-
H publicans of that radical type that are
entirely put of sympathy with the mora
consul vative notions of the IDast."

wae very anxious that the party should
Carry out its Statehood pledge and he
did not think he would be disappointed.

CALL FOR MONEY
TO BE USED TO RELIEVE THE
CARTAG0 VICTIMS
Made by President Taft Already
Contributions Have Been
Made.
(Associated Press Report.)
WASHINGTON May 9President Taft
as president of tho American National
Red Cross society today made a strong
appeal for contributions to relieve the
distress of the earthquake sufferers In
Costa Rica ilo asks that contributions
be sent to tin- Rod Cross Washington
or deposited with the local Rod Cross
treasurer. The fund Is to be dispensed
by the diplomatic representative of the
United States in Costa Rica.
The American Red Cross has received
from the city of New Orleans $1000 as Its
contribution to the fund for the relief
of the earthquake sufferers at Cartago.
The state department has received word
from the representative of the United
Fruit company at Boston stating that the
company hftd contributed $5000 for tha
same purpose. This contribution no doubt
will lie distributed through the company's
agent at San Jose.

1000 Dead at Cartago.
I Associated Press Report.)
8AN JOSE C. R. May 9. More than
1000 dead have been taken from the ruins
of Cartago. No one Is allowed within
the precincts of the devastated city ex-
cept the Red Cross workers and soldiers
and volunteers employed In clearing away
the debris removing the bodies and dyna-
miting the clangorous buildings.
Most of the survivors of thoearthn.uake
are now at San Jose. Medicines and lood
supplies from the American warships are
being rushed from Port Llmon but tho
condition of those who still remain
around the city is such that extraordi-
nary measures must be provided to pro-
vide assistance and shelter for them.
Even in San Jowe the residents are for
the must part living In tents and wooden
structures fearing to occupy their homes
as the earth tremors still continue.
No living person hau been taken from
the ruins in the last two days and al-
though a thousand dead have been re-
moved it is known that there are still
many beneath tho broken walls and tim-
bers. Owing to the general feeling of
panic the various organizations engaged
In the work of relief find It difficult to
reach all. Many of the survivors are
still hungry and helpless. It Is reported
that American marines will be sent to
Cartago to give assistance and there Is
great need of their presence.
The village of Cot is reported totally
destroyed and the village of Entro Itios
partially destroyed.
The arbitration court haa been trans-
ferred to San Jose and the magistrates
have been given a vacation. Mexico has
contributed a large sum of monev to eld
the victims and contributions are com-
ing In from other sources.
The nature of the earthquake which
destroyed Cartago Is now being discussed
and the general testimony of those who
suffered from It goes to show that It re-
sembled an explosion more than the or-
rllnary seismic movement which has been
felt throughout the renublia during the
past two or three weeks. . : -

SOMEWHAT? DIFFERENT FROM
SWWtMIHSI
ON SUGAR FRAUDS
TAFT SENT SPECIAL MESSAGE
TO CONGRESS.
'Congressional Probe Inexpedient He
Declared Would Embarrass Ex-
ecutive Department.
(A.tsociated Press Report.)
WASHINGTON May 9. President Taft
sent a special ijujjjage to the house of
representatives today to tell why he con-
sidered congressional Investigation of the
sugar frauds In tlin customs service In-
expedient. It Is because a congressional
investigation at this time would be to
embarrass the executive department In
the continuance and completion of the
Investigation of tho appraisers and other
officers of the customs service.
In his answer the president said:
"The necessity for congressional Inves-
tigation arises first when an executive
Investigation is either not In good faith
or Is lacking In vigor or When additional
legislation Is needed to prevent a re-
currence of the frauds.
"The . primary duty with respect to
frauds In the executive servlco falls upon
the executive to direct proper executive
Investigation and upon the discovery of
fraud and crime to direct Judicial Inves-
tigations to recover what Is due to the
government and of bringing to Justice
tho guilty persons.
"The report of the secretary of the
treasury and the attorney general shows
beyond question that ths utmost vigor
and effectiveness In the Investigation and
prosecution up to this time and the
achieving of exceptional results In the
recovery of moneys of which the govern-
ment has been defrauded the Indictment
of participants in the frauds and In the
reformation of the customs service with
a view to the prevention of such frauds
in the future."
With his message the president sent a
Joint report of the secretary of the treas-
ury and the attorney general showing
tlie results of the Investigations up to
date. The danger of granting immunity
to any offenders through a congressional
Investigation the president pointed out
Is still very grave.
REFERRED TO HEIKE CASE.
He referred to the case of Helke secre-
tary of the American Sugar Refining com-
pany who was summoned before the
grand Jury Investigating sugar company's
alleged attachment with a company vio-
lating the Khorman anti-trust act and
pleaded Immunity. While the supreme
court refused to pass on the question
claiming It did not properly come before
It the main point is left to be raised In
the event of the conviction of Helke
If congress were to Investigate the
weighers and appraisers offices It would
have to go about getting Just such expert
evidence as is now being gathered the
president said which will be sent to con-
gress as soon as the present Investigation
is at an end.

sided and addresses were made by him
and Mr. Benjamin Trueblood of the
American Peace society.
Letters from President Taft and other
distinguished statesmen and leaders con
talnlng expressions of their sentiments

LETTER FROM TAFT.
The letter from President Taft was as
follows:
"My Dear MeCall: I have your letter
of April 22 and am glad to know that
tho New England Arbitration and Peace
Congress Is to hold- an Important meeting
from May 8 to 11
"I havo on more than one occasion ex
pressed myself as being In favor of In-
ternational peace and In favor of arbitra-
tion to secure it and I also dwelt on ths
subject In my Inaugural address. That
does not mean however that I am lrr
favor of a country giving up that which
we now use for the purpose of securing
peace to-wlt our army and our navy
because I believe that the expense of
armament Is working toward peace.
"I earnestly hope that your meeting
will bo productive of much good In the
promotion of permanent peace and I
wish you every success In your efforts
In this direction."
The letter of Secretary of State Knox
says In part: '
"I very much regret my Inability to
attend the meeting of the New England
Arbitration and Peace congress but 1 as-
sure you both personally and officially
that I am in sympathy with the move-
ment for arbitration of controversies be-
tween nations as a means of calming ir-
ritation and of preserving peace."
William J. Hryan sent a letter express-
ing regret at being unable to attend. In
addition Mr. Bryan said:
"I am in hearty sympathy however
with the arbitration movement
"I hope that your meeting will Indorse
a proposition which I Introduced at the
London conference four years ago which
was afterward Indorsed by the New York
peace conference. It is a declaration that
all questions in dispute between nations
shall be submitted to an Impartial inter-
national tribunal for Investigation and
responsible for any declaration of war or
commencement or nostiimcs.
SENTIMENTS OF GOMHER8.
President Samuel Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor in his let-
ter said In part;
"I want to express the hope that the
growing Intelligence of tho combined
forces of the workers df the great move-
ment'Of the citizens generally will make
for the early realising of world-wlds
peace."

HAS BEEN REDUCED BY THE
COMMISSION.
Concentration Privileges the Differ-
entials and Terminal Charges to
Remain at at Present.
(Houston Post Sptdal.)
AUSTIN Texas May . Constituting a
majority of the railroad eommlselon
Messrs. Mayfleld and Williams today an-
nounced tho long expected decision on
the question of cotton rate reduction.
Their Joint agreement makes a reduction
of 4 cents In all maximum territory al-
lowing the rate to continue to Include alt
terminal charges carrying the cotton to
the wharves In all Texaa porta when de-
sired. The present differential from Hous-
ton snd Beaumont to Texaa ports Is con-
tinued. The Joint agreement of Commis-
sioners Mayfleld and Williams provides
for a 4-eent reduotlon and the Inclusion of
terminal charges while the motion of
Commissioner Colquitt filed April M but
not hitherto given out calls for a 6-cent
reduction and the exclusion of terminal
charges. The rates at present Include ter-
minal charges but by common consent
and not under order of the commission.
The decision as reached makes a local
rate to Galveston.
DETAIL8 TO BE WORKED OUT.
The details of the decision are yet to
be worked out and the commission there-
fore requested that there be no specula-
tion as to Its final and full application.
Commissioner Mayfleld Is now 111 In his
room. The decision as written by Com-
missioner Williams and Indorsed in full
by Chairman Mayfleld Is as follows:
For ths sake of getting together on a
reduced rate on cotton I waive for the
present my Individual objection to the
differential system being So a minority
In my opinion thereon and propose to
agree with the other commissioners:
1. To reduce the rate 4 cents In all
maximum territory and by reasonable
proportions In mileage territory.
t. To let the rate continue to Include
all terminal charges carrying the cotton
to the wharves in all Texas ports when
desired
DIFFERENTIAL" CONTINUED.
$. Te continue the present differential
rates frem Houston and' Beaumont to
Texas ports. - . . i
4. To carry forward all compress rules
under suspension as they now are so
the same may be put Into force at once
If abuses arise.
6. To permit the concentration of cot-
ton for other than compress purposes at
any port or Interior point in Texaa In
line of shipment all concentrated cotton
to move forward during the season of
shipment and not afterward. Concentra-
tion charges to be refunded when bill of
lading Issues for concentrated cotton and
upon the surrender of Inbound expense
bills.
In connection with the commission's ac-
tion In reducing the cotton rate In all
maximum territory an effort was made
last evening to secure an expression from
some of the railroad officials who had
been directly Interested In the case but
those who had been present In Austin
during the hearing were either absent
or else nut In a position to discuss the
matter now.
Judge T. J. Freeman receiver for the
International and Oreat Northern was
In Dallas last evening and C. K. Dun-
lap traffic manager of the Sunset-Central
lines was In Chicago.
Judge H M. Garwood general attorney
for the Sunset-Central lines when called
thought that he was not sufficiently
familiar with the commission's decision
to make any statement which would be
of Interest.

lication of an article known ss "The
Story of a Tariff" which Is supposed
to ho published by the American ITotee-
ttve Tariff league and which Is being
sent out under the frnnks of senators and
representatives. It Is a defense of the
present tariff law and contains about 480
pages mado up of extracts from speeches
delivered In tho special session. Senator
Stone of Missouri offering a resolution
directing tho senate committee on post-
offices to Inquire whether tho honk was
frankable declared that It contained con-
siderable matter aside from speeches In-
cluding lists of senators and representa-
tives and certain matter In the form of
subheads wjiich In no sense belonged to
the ciui:r'ssionai record and lie believed
It a violation of the poslal regulations
to frank It through the malls.
lie said If this document could be sent
through the malls under frank he wanted
to know It In order that tun democratic
congressional committee might avail It-
self of the same privilege A long dis-
cussion of the resolution followed and In
the end It was referred to the committee
