Chief Counsel Folk Files Brief
in Supreme Court to Sus
tain Interstate Commerce
Commission
(By AMOCiatad Presa. )
WASHINGTON. Aug. 10.—The right
of the interstate commerce commission
to inquire into the political expendi
tures of a railroad was upheld today in
a brief hleu in the District of Columbia
supreme court by Chief Counsel Folk in
the commission’s action to compel Pres
ident Milton H. Smith, of the Louisville
and Nashville railroad. to testify in re
gard to that carrier’s campaign contri-
Mr. Smith refused to answer
questions propounded by the commission
during an investigation based on a sen
ate resolution and resort was had to
the courts to compel answers. Mr.
Smith in a brief died several weeks ago.
contended that expenditure of funds by
a railroad official for political purposes
was a private matter and that it was
beyond the power or the commission to
go into such questions.
The brief filed by Mr. Folk denies
that campaign contributions by a ear
ner can be considered private and says
the commission has*uuthority to inquire
into any railroad expenditure.
The commission under the powers
delegated to it by congress through the
act to regulate commerce.” says the
ortef. “has a legal right and is subject
to the legal duty to te informed as to
carrier expenditures, and it is a step
toward the abuses of the past for any
carrier serving the public to attempt to
xeep them secret. That secrecy m tne
matter of expenditures and rates has
been the principal source of evils in
the railroad business cannot be denied.
Corruption, discrimination, and favorit
ism breed In the dark and shun the
light. The evils to be fairly apprehend
ed from the governmental information
as to the expenditures of the funds of
interstate carriers are not to be com
pared with the Ails that would surely
result from secrecy.
•There can be no effective regulation
of Interstate carriers if they may Keep
their expenditures covered up. With
out information regulation would be im
potent and blind.
"The operation of a railroad is not
rhe private concern of those who run
it. but It is subject to the public use and
to governmental regulation and govern
mental visitation. There can be nothing
private or confidential in the expendi
tures of the funds of a carrier engaged
tn interstate commerce as against the
.'igltorlal power Os the government. It
must submit all of its business and all
of its expenditures to the commission
upon suitable demand being made. That
demand has Seen made in this case
and it is to enforce that demand and to
compel the carrier to perfom its duty
under the ait to regulate commerce by
informing the commission as to its ex
penditures that this proceeding is now
before this court.”
Negress Attempts to
End Her Life By Setting
Fire to Her Clothing
Matilda Tucker, a negro woman about
forty years old. is believed to have at
tempted suicide in the most terribly
grewsome way Thursday at noon, when
she ®ft fire to her clothing while alone
in her house in the rear of 240 Central
avenue. She was found, her body
• charred all over, still breathing, and was
rushed to the Grady hospital, where
authorities said she could live only a
short time.
Last Saturday night the woman went
to a negro undertaker and asked to be
buried, saying that she was going to
"die anyway and burn in hell.” The
people in charge of the establishment
carried her to the police station, where
she was recognized as being demented,
though thought to be harmless. At that
time her hands were bandaged up with
-trs, and she declared them to have
been already burned in the “flames of
hell."
She was found Thursday, her clothes
burned completely off, unconscious and
in a dying condition.

TRAINMEN INSIST OH
DEMANDS ID THINK I
MEDIATION IS FUTILE
U. S. Board is Informed;
Brotherhood Chiefs See Lit
tle Hope of Reaching Satis
factory Agreement
t (By Associated Press.)
• NEW YORK, Aug. 10.—The United i
» States board of mediation and concilia
-1 tion held its first conference
r
t today with a committee representing
.. the four brotherhoods of railway em
ployes in their attempts to mediate the
■ controversy between the railroad men;
’ and 225 railway systems over the de
j mand for an eight-hour day and extra ,
i pay for overtime The mediators held ’
- their first conference with the national
5 conference committee of railway man
agers yesterday.
» William L. Chambers, one of the medi
’• ators, said afterward that the railroad
managers explained how far they would
go to avoid a strike. These deliberations
are secret.
There are three possible results of the'
1 mediation. One is that the federal board I
1 will be able to get the managers and I
I workers to sign an agreement. Another ,
_ is that the mediators will be able to in- I
duce both parties to consent to arbitra- |
’ tion, if mediation fails. The third possi- ;
’ bility is that the federal board will fail
in both these endeavors.
WILSON MA YTAKE HAND.
’ It was predicted today that if the
1 board should be unable to compose the
differences. President Wilson would ask
’ representatives of the contending sac- j
tions to meet him in Washington and !
that he would ask them to arbitrate their
differences. The mediators announced |
that no statement would be forthcoming
until they efther have succeeded or 1
failed. It is understood that the labor
leaders pin their hopes of settling the •
dispute upon mediation rather than ar
bitration. They are opposed to arbitra- |
tion.
W. S. Carter, president of the Brother- I
i hood of Railway Enginemen and Fire-1
men. said:
“Arbitration is a gambling game, even
when the dice are .not loaded. Railway
employes have lost faith in the justice of
arbitration boards. They believe arbitra
tion is as fickle as chance. If there is
arbitration of this eight-hour demand
and every effort is made to appoint neu-
I trals free from prejudices, it is but toss
i ing pennies to decide the question. Why
I has none suggested that matter be set-
I tied by "pulling straws.’ and relieve ev-
I erybody of the bother?”
Nothing officially was disclosed as to i
the success the mediators met but it was
learned on good authority that "the |
brotherhoods had shown no disposition
to modify their demands.
"‘The status is unchanged,” was the.
only comment which A. B. Garretson,
head of the conductors’ brotherhood,
was willing to make after the confer- •
ence.
ONLY SCRATCHED SURFACE. (
“We have only scratched the surface,” ’
said G. W. W. Hanger, one of the media
tors. “The situation may be cleared up
within twenty-four hours and then ne
gotiations may continue for a week."
The mediators arranged for a second
conference w’ith the railroad managers
this afternoon and to meet the brother
hoods' representatives again tomorrow
morning.
Today's meeting was held in a down
town assembly hall and was attended
not only by the chiefs of the four broth- ;
erhoods —the employes’ official spokes
men— but by the six hundred delegates
of the unions who are here. It lasted ,
less than an hour.

ISENATOR SMITH REPLIES
/ TO CHARGES OF HUGHES
Commends Appointment of
Harris and Durands’ Re
moval From Office
) BY RALPH SMITH..
1 WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.—The effort
• of Candidate Charles E. Hughes to make
i a nation?! campaign issue of the re
l tnoval of E. Dana Durand as director of
I the census and the appointment of Wil
, Ham J. Harris, of Georgia, flared up in
the senate today. Senator Townsend, of
■ Michigan, from which state Durand hails,
sought to sustain Candidate Hughes In
his contention respecting Durands re
. moval and the appointment of "an inex
perienced politician to administer the af
fairs of this statistical office.”
Senator Hoke Smith accepted Mr.
‘ Townsend’s challenge, applauded the re
. moval of Durand, commended the ap
. pointment of Harris and very clearly
. demonstrated that President Wilson dis
played rare judgment in the selection of
the Georgian for this position.
The senate spoke as a former secre
i tary of the Interior, binder whose im
mediate charge came the census bureau.
He declared that observation, study and
inquiry developed very clearly that Du
rand was wholly inefficient and lacking
in administrative capacity. Moreover,
he asserted that his experience with the
census as a cabinet officer, charged with
1 its supervision, ha*d convinced him that
a business man and not a statistician is
better qualified and equipped to admin
ister its affairs. He showed that Har
ris’ administration of the census bureau
had proved far more satisfactory arid
had been much more efficient than had
Durand's, and challenged any one to sus
tain a contrary contention.
In the course of the debate, Senator
Smith ridiculed and poked fun at t he
plight in which Candidate Hughes and
the Republican party finds itself for an
issue. He suggested that if it is to be
the policy of the country, and the gov
ernment, to retain only tried and experi
enced officials in office, and never to ele
vate an inexperienced man to high of
fice in the government service. Candidate
Hughes should be entirely consistent and
retire from the presidential race in favor
of President Wilson, whose sane and sat
isfactory administration has well estab
lished his efficiency and given him and
the country the benefit of valuable ex
perience. Judge Hughes, he pointed out,
is entirely without presidential experi
ence.

OF FLOOD RECOVERED
Total Loss of Life in West
Virginia Cloudburst Is Es
timated at 100
(By Associated Press.)
CHARLESTON, W. Va., Aug. 10.—
Twenty-three bodies have been recovered
from the debris carried down by the
flood which swept the Cabin creek val
ley near here yesterday.
Rescue parties have penetrated some
distance above Cabin Creek Junction and
meagre reports indicate that the loss
vs life has been heavy. Persons driven
from their homes to the mountains are
returning to find W'hole villages of min
ing cabins swept away, while distress
and suffering is seen on every hand.
Two companies of the Second West
Virginia infantry left Camp Kanawha
by trolley this morning and were taken
to Cabin Creek Junction with orders to
penetrate the valley and extend relief.
They carried provisions and tents.
A special train was being made up
here on the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad
and will go as far as the hastily repair
ed tracks will permit. From that point
numbers of men provided with provisions
Will seek out the spots where destitution
is most pronounced.
Reports reached here today from
United States Commissioner Howard C.
Smith, who led a relief party for a
number of mining companies last night,
that looting had commenced and a num
ber of arrests had been made and some
property recovered.
RELIEF NEEDED BADLY.
Coal companies with mines in the
valley estimate that many thousands of
dollars will be needed to feed and clotha
the helpless miners and their families,
as scores of them have lost all of their
possessions.
R. Jaco, a lineman of the Chesapeake
& Potomac Telephone company, reach
ed Cabin Creek Junction shortly before
noon after a walk of over thirteen miles
of the company’s lines between Miami
and DeSoto. He declared that forty per
sons had been drowned and twenty bod
ies had been recovered.
Jaco was unable to get up the Kay
ford branch of the Chesapeake & Ohio,
but expressed the belief that damage
and loss of life there was greater than
in other sections. The entlr valley be
tween Miami and DeSoto w-as devastated,
he said, everything movable having been
washed away.
The excursion train carrying 410 per
sons, mostly w’omen and children, ma
rooned by the flood, was located today
between Main Horse creek and Little
Horse creek, with washouts on both
sides. Relief was sent from St. Al
bans.
Soon after 11 o’clock the sold’a-.s
reached Ronda, where headquarters were
established and from which point the
relief work will be carried on. An esti
mate of the dead remained at 100.
