SAYS SITUATION IS UNCHANGED Former President's Effort to Secure Direct Nomination Legislation Look Upon as Test of His Power In New York. Albany, N. Y., June 30. Colonel Roosevelt's telegram to Lloyd C. Grls com urging that the Cobb direct noml nations bill be passed is today the most absorbing of topics of discussion among the lawmakers and politicians gathered hero. Some of the members of the legisla ture who have been opposed to til proposed primary reform assume a air of resentment nnd declare that the former president's message is an Indi cation that he proposes to act as dic tator In the affairs of the state. This, they say, will not be tolerated. Other lawmakers have been genu inely astonished by the Roosevelt tele gram. All agree that its effect upon the ac tion of the state legislature will decide whether Colonel Roosevelt wields the powerful Inlluence credited to him or. his return from his travels abroad. Indications today are that the law makers will proceed with the plan determined upon before the Roosevelt message was received, to refuse tc pass any sort of direct nomination! bill. Commenting on the Roosevelt tele gram, Speaker Wadsworth said: "Colonel Roosevelt's request, nddress ed to County Chairman Grlscom o: New York nnd not to the legislature that the Cobb bill become law makei no change In the situation. A mnjorltj of the members of the assembly art opposed to that bill and the amend uieiits proposed by Chairman Grlscom They regnrd them as abusrd. I bcllevi the assembly will defeat tho Cobl bill, as I have believed from the out set" Colonel Roosevelt's message was ap parently sent after his meeting witl Governor Hughes at the Harvard unl versltv commencement.

QUEER METHODS ARE REVEALED Interstate Commerce Commission Cuts Railroad Charges Shows How In creasing Rates and Lowered Ex penses Swell Incomes. Washington, June 30. Nation wide Interest wns attracted today by the freight rate decisions banded down yesterday by the interstate commerce commission; I These decisions affect freight rates, 1 both class and commodity, on all trans- continental Hues operating between ' the Atlantic nnd Pacific oceans. Ex I tensive reductions were ordered. . The decisions nro in what are known as the Paclllc coast cases. The cases were heard last autumn by tho com mission, on its six weeks' trip to the Pacific const and lntermountnln terri tory and have been under consider.! tiou ever since. In every instance reductions In the existing rates complained of were made, and in some instances they amounted to nearly 50 per cent. The commission found through Its Inquiry I a remarkable rate situation existing on the Pacific const and even a more remarkable one In the lntermountnln territory. This is notably true of the rutes to nnd from Spokane, Wash., and Reno, Nev. The decision of the commission in the case of the city of Spokane against the Northern Pacific and Great North ern railroad companies and other car riers was prepared by Commissioner l'routy. It was held that the earnings of the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern for the ten years preceding 1003 "might fairly be termed excessive and that reductions In revenues might ttllI.f..N.. 1w. ......1.. I.... ... ..... , , , . - the constitutional rights of those-coui- paules." In fixing the rates to Spokane the commission did not use the rates to Seattle as a standard, but adjusted the rates to Spokane upon what It consid ered to be a reasonable basis, taking into account that water competition at Spokane was not material. Then the commission held ns follows: "Joint through rates, both class and commodity, should be established from dellued territories, east of Chicago to Spokane." LA LltWU Ul U1C A 1 U 1 UUU UUU AlliiVUU cu809 heavy reduction In class rutes is Iu each of the Nevada and Arizona ordered, some of the reductions being us high as 33 1-3 per cent. It was poluted out, as illustrating the western methods of llxlug rates, that for carrying a carload of first class trafllc containing 20,000 pounds from Omaha to Reno the Union nnd Southern Pacilic lines charge S85S, but thut If the same carload goes 154 miles further, to Sacramento, the charge Is but $000. The first class rate to the more distant point, Sacra mento, is $3 per 100 pounds and to the nearer polut, Reno, $4.29 per 100 pounds. If the same carload of freight originates at Denver, 500 miles west of Omaha, the same rates to Reno and Sacramento apply, and if the freight originates at Boston, 1,800 miles east of Omaha, the rates are tho same. Turning to the division of earnings between carriers ou trafllc from the east to Reno, the commission Unds that tuc uons snare accrues to tue soutu- em Paclllc company. After discussing the situation the commission adds: The fact remains, however, that for tho 2,400 mile haul from New York to Ogden the New York Central, the Lake Shore, the Northwestern and the Union Pacilic secure the same revenue out of the $3 rate to Sacramento that they do out of the $4.20 rate to Reno. Astonishing facts were developed by tho commission at Us bearings con cerning tho earning capacity of the Pacific lines. The commission shows that during the last two years the operating revenues of the Southern Paclllc company's Pacific system had Increased $8,000,000, while its operat ing expenses had decreased $5,000,000. thus producing an Increased operating lncomo of over $12,000,000, or a net increase of about $2,000 per mile of road.

Bob Fits Mmmous, who arrived on tho Marama from Sydney, picks Jeffries as tho win ner In Monday's battlo for the world's championship. Ho thinks tho tight will not go over twenty rounds. John son, he believes, while clever, hasn't got the punch. "A fight Is ns uncertain ns a horse nice, and this one particularly," said Fitzslmmons, who is en route to Reno. "But my opinion Is -well known. John son won't stand long against tho mas sive strength and bearlike tenacity ot Jeffries providing he is In shape.
