SOUTH IS THE HARDEST HIT Transcontinental Rates. Up Inter state Commerce Commission Report Gives Details, to your grocei. Sptcial Tht York Timtt. i Feb. 4.

la reply to a refolutton adopted In the House several weeks ago, Chairman Knapp of the interstate Commerce Commission' to-day forwarded to the House report setttnt forth the more Important of the advances In railroad rates In the last two years. The record Ba submitted br Mr. Knapo dates from the passage of the Hepburn set In. 1906. The Increases shown tn the report are sweeping ln their, character and affect ery rorm of transportation.

In freight rates advances have been made both by increasing the rate and by putting the product at issue into' a higher classification. Transcontinental rates have under gone, material advances, and express charges In New England are shown to have gone up. Passenger rates alone show a lowering of tolls, due. according to the report, to the sympathetic influ ence of the compulsory lowering of intra state rates. The heaviest blow, however, Is" struck at the South.

Nearly every advance re corded In the report of the Chairman of the commission has to do with the Southeastern territory, that section bounded-by the Mississippi River on the west and the Ohio on -the north. The report refrains practically from all 'explanations, con tenting Itself with giving the psrtlcular information, asked. I Sosso of the Advances. The advances in detail follow: Coal, cents per ton from the Fennsyl- vsnla, Maryland, and Virginia fields to CeiVral Freight Association and from the Kentucky, Tennessee, and Alabama fields, to the Southeastern Freight Association territory." Pig iron, 25 cents per ton from furnaces in Southeastern Frolght Association territory to points in Central Association territory and trunk line territory. Cast-iron pipe, 23 cents per ton from foundries in Southeastern Freight Association territory to points In Central Freight Association territory and truqk line territory.

I Iron and steel articles advance by with drawal of commodity rate and applica tion of higher, non-uniform rates. Lumber, higher class rates for old commodity rates from Chicago and its basing points to trunk line territory. Advance of 5 cents per 100 pounds on shipments from the Paeltic Northwest to the east of Omaha and Kansas Grain and grain products, 2 cents per 100 pounds from Ohio' and Mississippi River crossings to Southeastern Freight Association territory, and from Northerp and Western points of production. From Chicago to New York the advance is 1 cents. Packing House Products 3 100 pounds-from" "OhW and Mississippi River crossings to Southeastern Freight Association territory.

From Northern and Western producing points charges' are based on these rrver-crossing rates. Sugar 2 cents per 100 pounds from New York and New Orleans and from trunk line to Central Freight Association territory anc to Chicago, St. Paul, and the Northwest. Rates to Texas 4 to 10 cents per 100 pounds from Kansas City and St Louis and their baaing points, including ail territory east cf the Mississippi River. Transcontinental Rates 3 to 00 per cent, increases east and west bound Between points on Atlantic Seaboard and east of the Mississippi.

River and terminal points on the Pacific Coast. The heavier increases are in theoeastbound rates. A number of othef advances tn classification without a specific change- in rates are recorded, and an advance of express rates of id to 25 cents per 1UU pounds between New England points. Passenger Rates Gradual reduction of inter-State fares, owing to reduction by law-in lntra-State fares. Higher Transcontinental Rates.

Important Increases In the rates charged on transcontinental traffic in the export and import trade were effected by the order on Nov. 1. 1908, abolishing these export and import the Pacific ports and having apply tnstead the domestic rates all of them higher. The fommlsslon has no Information showing xactly what increase resulted from this move, as the railroad scheduies do not show how the money was divided with the steamship lines. -The iCentral Frelaht Association trri tory Is defined in the report ss lying -west of.

Buffalo and Pittsburg north of the Ohio River; and east of Chics so snd St. Louis. The Southeastern territory lies south of the Ohio and east of the Mississippi. hlle the trunk line territory is north of the Ohio and east of the central territory. Transcontinental rates Include all rates from points east of the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers to the Pacific Coast.

Official classification territory lies east of Chicago and St. Louis and north of the Ohio River. Southern classification territory lies south of the Ohio and east of the Mississippi River Western clsssificatlon territory corresponds to this across the MlsslssfrJDl.

ATTACKS JRUST John Norrla Says Internationa! 'Paper Company Overstated. Wages Paid. WASHINGTON, Feb. Norris of the American Newspaper Publishers' Association sent to-day to the House Ways and Means Committee a letter In which he charged that the International Paper in presenting Its argument for the retention of the tariff on paper, had deliberately misrepresented to the committee the amounts paid by the paper company as wages to papermakers. Mr.

Norrla charged that in making comparison with Canadian mills to show the relative pay for labor, the International Paper' Company had understated the amounts paid by Canadian mills, and that rates out of 148 cited by she International Psper Company, purporting to cover its own nay rolls, were overstatements. The paper company had made its comparisons -on the basis of a claim that it paid xj cents per hour to machine lenders. Norris furnished the company's pay roll schdile to fortify his statement that the highest price now paid by that company, to machine tenders Is 43 cents per hour, and that this rate applies only to six of the forty-eight machlnea which the company operates; that some of th machine tenders are paid 33 cents per hour, and that the average rate is 42 cmiIs per hour, or lfl per cent, less than tits amount claimed by the paper com-pimy. He declared that the comparison of paid to American and foreign labor ss set up by the paper manufacturers st the tariff hearing was wrong, and teat the manufacturers should have known it 'f f-rr Corte'ycu Wania Af an Collectors So Connected! to Save Ct'ays.

4. The committee of expert cotton classifiers designated by Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has made Its report, recommending a standard of the different grades of cotton to be adopted as the official classlf (cation of the Government. The committee has made up types representative of the nine different grades, to be designated middling fair, strict good middling, good middling, strict middling, middling, strict low middling, low middling, strict good (ordinary, and good ordinary, to be the official standard. The recommendation is made that. In view, of the confusion that might arise In case the standards were promulgated at once, they do not go Into effect until 1, 1910.

It ia recommended also that efforts be made to secure the cooperation of foreign exchanges in connection with the standards and that Congress enact legislation penaliilng any ons tampering with the standards which are to be kept locked CD at the Department Agriculture.

Special it Tkt Net Yorh'Timtt. WASHINGTON. Feb. 4. The shotgun as a cure for auto speeding was advocated on the floor of the Senate to-day by Senator Tillman.

Incidentally the Senator' posed as the champion of the. automobile and defended It against the attacks of Senator Bailey. The Texan reappeared in. his role of Friend of the Horse, and pictured a' gloomy future for the farmers of the country if the Government lent its indorsement to that noble animal's mechanical rival. "The Senator's position and his argument 'are both insisted Tillman.

His argument that the horse wfll be done away with if the automobile is adopted means that we should never have had the railroad, but should have stuck to wagons. Wagons to haul our coin merce would mean the employment of miuons ot norses. Mr. Bailey argued that assistance lent the factory meant proportionate Injury to the farm. He was especially bitter over whst he' termed SDeed mania." Mr.

Tillman said the automobiles of Waahlngton scared him," but that there was a wav to stoo them. I believe I can guess how the Senator would accompiisn mat, saia tiailey. sarcastically. Certainly: with a shotgun, retorted Tillman. Down In my county when these things tot to puff-pufflna around on the roads we had three or four runa ways, women and ennaren were hurt.

when a man hitched un and started out he put his trusty shotgun alongside him. When he saw one of the things coming he put his gun to his shoulder and the automobile stopped. Those automobile fellows got mighty polite after that." The debate arose over an item In the District of Columbia Appropriation bill providing ror a secretary lor tne Automobile License Board. 1 MINERS' CENSURE LEWIS. 4 i National Officers' Exceeded Their Au- thority In the Indiana Strike.

INDIANAPOLIS. Feb. ef forts of the United Mine Workers ot the United States and Canada to forward the business of the assembly by excluding from Its proceedings, controversy of per sonal nature seem futile. Early In today's session a resolution was adopted that all speakers on resolutions or mo tions must confine themselves strictly to the subject Jn hand, but the day was one of turmoil and bickering. The convention adoDted a resolution tn the effect that the National Executive Hoard naa exceeded its a in Don ty in suspending the officers of the Indiana District for having disobeyed an order that the miners should return to work In the Hudson Mine pending the adjustment of the strike there.

Vhls was essentially a reversal of the convention's action of a lew auya ago in approving tne course of President Lewis and the Executive Board their general action in this matter, an.i indicates that the delegates will pass some measure giving a new Interpretation to the sections of the organlration'e constitution defining the authority- of the Na- uinni Doay in us relation to tne district body.

WASHINGTON, Feb. a sharp debate this afternoon the House adopted an amendment to the Agricultural bill to forbid interference with the work of Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, cWef chemist of the Agricultural' Department, by the Board of Referees appointed by the President to review his findings or by any other iiuch board of review. The, amendment was introduced by 'Representative-Lever of South Carolina, whose speech yester day in defense of Dr.

Wiley', work, made a strong Impression. The fight on the subject, however, is not yet over. On the, viva voce vote Mr. Lever carried the House and a division showed tba vote to stand 61 in favor of the amendment and 42 opposed. The opposition to the amendment, which wss led by Chairman Scott' of the Agricultural Committee, then called for tellers.

The call was greeted with cries of dissent from all over the House, and seeing that the amendment would be adopted if a vote were taken Mr. Scott moved that the committee of the whole House then rise, pending the final count. i If other business can be postponed, the final tuattle on the subject will be fought out to-morrow morning. Mr. Lever has obtained strong support in the Republican side.

Col. Hepburn and James ft. Mann both voting ror tne amendment this afternoon, together with a number of other ReDubllcana Many Democrats voted against the measure, but Mr. Lever feels their non-support simply accentuates tne fact that his amendment Is non-partisan. As showing the illegality of, the authority assumed by the Board of Scientific Referees appointed by the President, Mr.

Lever read a letter from Secretary Wilson, In which he said that the board had no duties to perform In the Bureau of Chemistry, the members having business of their own In their universities. Mr. Lever then read from the pure food law to show that the direction was positive that the tests of food authorised by the law be made in- the Bureau- of Chem- board appointed to Tevlew the Chief Chemist's work," said Mr. Lever, "is without authority of law. and In practice effectually repeals the pure food law.

He.

said the plaoing of final power in the hands of Dr. Wiley would mean tn this particular case tne destruction or millions or property in his State. He admitted that Dr. Wilev was honest, but said he thought that as no criticism had been made ot the board Itself a final decision from it would be more probably correct than one from a single' mtn enthusiastic about his work. If Col.

Hepburn and Mr. Mann will lend their active support, as ther are likely to do, the board will In all probability either be eliminated entirely or severely restricted in its activity. In i case the amendment now pending is with its strict insistence upon the text ot the original- pUre food law, Mr. Lever and Mi. Hepburn will try to accomplish the same general purpose by a provision denying the right of the Secretary, of Agriculture or the President' to expend any part of the appropriation for the Board or i-iererees.

Sharp for killing former United States Senator Carmack, Judge Hart said: There have been intimations In tho prtss that tho jury list has been tam pered with. I wish to say that the jury box from which the names are drawn is in the custody of Circuit Clerk Lewis Hitt The names In it were placed there two years ago. It remains sealed and is controlled by Hitt, who was Carmack' campaign manager. -I 'make this state ment in Justice to every one concerned." The court then drew the new venire and sent for Juror Whltworth. who was asked to explain his remark that ho was against Gov.

Patterson. I said I was against him because of nis abuse or the pardoning power and in turning criminals loose. Judge Anderson of tho defense cross-examined the Juror. Whltworth declared ho would much prefer to escape service, but denied any bias. The court held that the claim that the juror had aald that the defendants should be hanged was controverted.

On tho second charge, that Whltworth had expressed belief that Gov. Patterson had a hand in the killing, the court held that the juror did not deny- it specifically tninii h. Therefore," the court concluded, I fiem it best to excuse Mr. nit worm from the Jury." HASKELL NOT TO RESIGN. Muskogee Citizens Defend Governor and Other Indicted Men.
