The fight for and against the increased freight rates by the railroads of the country Is rapidly taking on titanic proportions. On the side of the railroads are being lined up the manufacturers of railway materials, equipment and supplies, and through them every person who draws a benefit from the sale or manufacture of materials used by the railroads and all merchants who profit from, the wage earners of those so em to "meet the increased pay rolls" of the railroads. The commuters first Steps are under way for a bond issue by the city amounting to probably the purpose of which is to take up the judgments against the city which now reach $199,000.

These judgments now bear interest at 6 per cent, while the bonds which would pay for the redemption of these judgments would bear only 4 per cent, thus effecting a saving of 2 per, cent to the city in interest charges. A large number of the Judgments are for the opening of streets and there are two, the Matter estate and Hunt ic. Connell, resulting from damages In the building of the West Lackawanna avenue viaduct The lost judgments with their 1 amounts were submitted to seleW icl by City Controller Edwardl It Is possible that the ordinance riding for the bond issue will troduced at the next meeting otc mon council, where bond ordinal must originate.

In each Instance the defendant fared quite well at the hands of Judge E. C.

Newcomb. By their pleading guilty today they were saved from remaining behind prison bars un til the next regular term of criminal court in October. Thomas D. Evans, who some years ago was in the ministry and had a charge in Mid Valley, pleaded guilty of assaulting his wife with a shoe. They have been married 38 years and reside sault the same day that he completed a at Olyphant.

Evans committed the as thirty day sentence for being drunk and' disorderly. He promised Judge New comb that he would take the pledge The court then suspended sentence. Mike Popack, an Olyphant man, who manages to bob up at each succeeding term of criminal court, again asked for "just another chance." It was the same old charge stealing chickens. This time Popack managed to get away with fifteen fowl. If I let you down easy will you promise not to visit us again in October, Popack?" asked Judge Newcomb.

"Sure, Judge, 111 never come back," was Popack's quick answer. He was given sixty days. Frank Baker admitted stealing a quantity of brass from the Scranton Railway Company. He was given thirty days. James A.

Towell, a knight of the road, giving his residence as Boston and occupation that of a plumber, was sent back for thirty days for stealing two bridles from the Cudahy Packing company's stables. He proved himself a clever talker very much Bostonese. George Ward, of Carbondale, told the court that he gave his brother in law, William Baker, "one 'good clout behind the ear" in a recent fistic encounter. The court sen tenced him to twenty days. TAFT PLEASED OVER PASSAGE OF RAILROAD MEASURE LAST NIGHT I By United Press.

Detroit, June 4. President Taft and party departed for Monroe over the Michigan Central at 8 a. m. today after a good night's sleep at the Hotel Pontchartrain. They will arrive la the little town at 9 o'clock for the unveiling of the Custer statue.

The programme was that the president should sleep on his private car and depart at 6:55 this morning, arriving in Monroe at 8:30, but this was changed after the banquet tendered the president by the Detroit board of commerce last night, by the committee who prevailed upon Taft to sleep at the hotel. The railroad officials promised they would hold the special train until eight, and make the run to Monroe in just one hour. The weather today was partly cloudy. The Taft smile was much in evidence as the party rode down to the station in automobiles for the president was pleased clear through over the passage of the railroad bill, the news of which was given him as he sat at the banquet last night. But without a pause of exult over the passage of.

his railroad bill by both houses of congress, President Taft is today preparing to put his force behind his conservatioii legis lation as soon as he returns to Washington. Conservation was one of the particular policies bequeathed by former President Roosevelt to his successor, and Taft is determined that something that will at least show that the administration considers it important at this session of congress. With this idea in mind the president Is anxious that the sen ate, now that the railroad bill Is out of the way, get down to the conservation problem.

"It won't do to predict any limit to the development of aviation," the daring young aeronaut said today. "We have already set at naught the predictions made a few years ago, and are Just beginning to realize the possibilities of the science.

What I have indicated will come in five years. After that; well, it won't do to prophesy." Through the air above the Hempstead Plains on Long Island in the neighborhood of Mineola, Garden City, Westbury and Hlcksvllle, Hamilton again guided his aeroplane last evening as he had the previous day. But his performances of although witnesses termed them sensational, were outdone, by the achievements of the aeronaut yesterday, according to the verdict of the same critics. Hamilton made two ascents, the first of which lasted only 6 minutes and 17 seconds. On this trip he rose to an altitude of more than 800 feet, describing figure eights and circles apparently with the greatest ease and unconcern, then dipping suddenly toward the earth and rising almost at the minute when it seemed that he would hit head on with terrific force.

Clifford B. Harmon was not down at Mineola yesterday, as he broke three struts and split his propeller in his accident of the preceding evenins. The damage will not be repaired before this evening at the earliest, so It is improbable that Harmon will make a flight until Monday. But Hamilton, Seymour and Baldwin will all go up this afternoon if the weather permits. RECEiVERSTOR NEW PHONE CO, Charles West, of Philadelphia and Frank D.

AEROPLAN Police Determined to Stamp Out Rowdyism Among Youths.

"WHAT S0 EVER" REUNION That the disorderly conduct of boys and young men, of insulting pedestrians along the various thoroughfares of this part of the city, is to be brought to an abrupt end, was again evidenced yesterday in police court. James Gilday, William Mc Graw and James McCarrlck, residents of the Twentieth ward, who were arrested on the previous night by. Par trolman Boland on the aforementioned charge, were fined each $3 before Police Magistrate John Lentes, who presided in court yesterday.

We will put a stop to this rowdyism if it takes the entire South Side police force to do it," Is the, way Lieutenant Gscheidle expressed it last night.
