Industrial Lines Begin Fight for the Canceled Joint Freight Rate Privilege. Future of. Many, Roads De-- pends on 'Decision.

Is a Switch 'and What a Rail way? Is Question Ohio Commission Mast, Answer. PKC1AI. DIMPATCH TO TBB KKQCIBBK. Columbus, Ohio. April 16.

Involved in a hearing that began to-day before the State Public Utilities Commission Is the future of many small industrial railways little lines built by manufacturing companies to handle their shipments in and out of their plants from the railway connections. Recently the Interstate Commerce Commission Issued an" order that railway lines must cease dividing freight charges with purely switch railways. Immediately the principal steam lines canceled all Joint freight rates with" the industrial lines. Under the old way the industrial line got a share of the total freight earnings on the shipments sent out. The road might be but two miles long.

but it could bill shipments anywhere and get a share of the earnings. Thirty of the industrial lines in Ohio complained the Utilities Commission against the cancellation of the joint rates, and the question came up with the Lorain and Southern complaining against the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern. The Lorain and Southern is two miles long, and is owned by the Ohio Quarries Company and is wholly within the property lines of that company in Lorain County, Its division of the freight charge was $1 per car. which It had planned to advance to $2 SO per car. Ten Lawyers Battle.

The question turns on when is the line a switch and when a railway lin. Ten lawyers were In the battle to-day. F. A. Quail, of Cleveland, insisted the Loialn and Southern was a railway, because the Lake Shore would not supply the tracks and switches to get the freight out, al though It was admitted the tracks bad been supplied for the Clevelan- Stone Company in the same stone S.

IL West, of the Lake Shore, contended the Instruction of the Interstate Commerce Commission made a joint rate and division impossible, as it would be equavilent to a rebate. The Lake Shore and MarMehead. which is said to be owned by the Kelley Island Lime and Transport Company, filed an lntervenery petition In tBe suit- To-day It was said by those present at the hearing that the Kelley Island people had an offer from the Baltimore and Ohio to enlarge and equip it docks at Sandusky to care for all the shipments and it was predicted by a number" of the railway men that the whole shipment from Kelley Island was. about to be taken over by the B. and O.

There are thousands Of cars sent out each year and the ouslness Is of large proportions. The Lake Shore and Marble head Road haa connections with the Lake Shore, and It has been handling the Kelley Island The question of whenls a railway line a switching and when a railway will have an effect in every manufacturing city In the state. Cleveland haa a number, so has Cincinnati, while the industrial lines at Steubenville and along the river iron manufacturing cities are very numerous. It was admitted to-day that the Instructions- of the Interstate Commerce Commission are not wholly clear and the Interpretation of the Lake Shore Road may be overstrong. The Instructions do prevent recognition of a switch as a railway, but It does not define and locate what Is a switch and how long, it must Toe or how busy before it becomes a railway line.

It is the latter question the lines now want the Utilities Commission to decide. TAX ASSESSMENT Upon L. and N. Arouses Lively Argument in Kentucky Court. arti iAt, imspatch tub bkqcibsb.

New Orleans and Texas Pacific and the Chesapeake and Ohio Companies June 8. He said he would not enter a decree in the 1912 assessments until he had heard the arguments on the 1913 assessments.

J. and Wi.ll THREAT Has Immediate Effect Upon New Haven Agree To TestfEfTo Avoid Criminal Proceedings, i 7 Washington, April 16, Indictments today were voted by the Federal Grana Jury against the four witnesses who refused to testify before the Interstate Commerce Commission last Friday con-oerning the relations of the Blllard Company with the New Haven Railroad Sys tem. The Indictments probably will not be returned for several days, pending final wrd from the; recalcitrant witnesses as to whether they desire to change their "attitude.

The men whose names are before the Jury are Harry V. Whipple. President of the Merchants National Bank of New Haven; Samuel Hemingway. President of the Second National Bank of New Haven; Edward I. Field and Samuel Morehouse, all of New Haven.

All four are supposed to have official connection with the Blllard Company, through which i.t haa been alleged that millions of dollars' worth of New Haven securities have been illegally diverted. Henry Stoddard, counsel for Whipple A. Field, to-day notified Chief Counsel Joseph W. Folk, of the Interstate Com merce Commission, that hia clients, under protest, would testify rather than under go the stigma of an indictment and crim inal prosecution. "You notify us." wrote Mr.

Stoddard. "that instead of applying to a Court of civil Jurisdiction In 'fcrder to have the question directly determined by a Judge, you Intend to resort to criminal proceed ings. I suppose that means a criminal proceeding In the District of Columbia against cltUens and residents of the stata of Connecticyt with the Inevitable annoyance, trouble and expense connected with a criminal proceeding In a Jurisdic tion far removed from defendants' Place of residence. Therefore, to relieve them selves from the burden of such annoy ance, trouble and expense, while they reel that your threatened action Is un Just, arbitrary and tyrannical, my clients. Messrs.

Whipple and Field, are con strained to submit and to abandon their claimed rights and liberty, and this wholly because of the threat of such criminal prosecution." Mr. Folk, in reply, directed attention to the fact that the commission had no power to punish for contempt as Courts have and. as a result, had been given au thority by the Congress to proceed against recalcitrant witnesses by crtra Inal action. He added that so long as he was at the head of the Law Department of the commission the criminal statute would be invoked In every clear case of the recalcitrancy of witnesses. Later Mr.

Folk to-day telegraphed Judge Stoddard to ascertain whether clients would be willing to produce the books and papers of the Blllard Com pany which were required by the commission. To that Imulry no response haa yet been received. Homer S. Cummings. counsel for Sam uet Hemingway and Samuel through telegrams to Mr.

Folk, to-day sought further delay In the criminal proceedings. He was notified that his clients must submit their testimony to the com mission without further conditions. INSURANCE COMPANIES Will Confer To-Day on Question of Conference Committee. arsrtAi. mbtatcb to tbb bjiqctbbb.
