The Democrats are Inclined to aid in the plan of the administration, as they are not willing, it is billeted, to vote for the senate bill. Representative Underwood I Dein said in would not vote for the achate measure because of the rebate clause, which in his opinion daces an inadequate penalty on a railroad quoting a ''wrong rafe to a shipper The insurgents, however, assert that this talk of the Democrats is campaigning" and vvhgn it comes to a pirn ti they will vote for the senate bill. The situation was far mote complex than yesterday, when it was impossible to form any clear idea of the possible final decision.
Railroad authorities here today contend that the railroad presidents won a victory In the white house conference by "diverting the question at Issue from one of legality to one of reasonableness. Attorney General Wkkcrsham was proceeding against the truffle associations on the ground that they maintained a combination in violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. This suit was not based upon whether the rates were reasonable, but upon the manner In which the rates were made through alleged conspiracy." Under the agreement reached be-tw'oen President Taft and the railroads, the matter Is turned over to the Interstate commerce commission, which will Investigate the proposed increases in relation to their reasonableness. For the time, at least, the arrangements puts a stop to proceedings against the traffic associations and the investigation of whether the railroads have violated til' anti-trust law. Facing another railroad conference, President Taft early today devoted himself to studying the eastern rate situation, hoping to obtain an agreement from the eastern railroads similar to that reached with the western lines.
ZOOLOGIST SURFACE NOT VERY CULPABLE Chicage, June 7 Four former employes of the Illinois Central railroad are preparing their defense In suits filed by that company for accounting, charging them with entering Into a conspiracy with five corporations to defraud the company to the amount of over $1,500,000, through car repair con- In the bills that were filed It is charged that there has, been a conspiracy between these railroads' employes and the car repairing companies for two and a half years. The four men named In the suit are: Joseph Ebuker, formerly assistant superintendent of machinery and late superintendent of the car department; William Renshavv, former superintendent of machinery, O. Keith, former superintendent of transportation, and Joseph Taylor, former storekeeper. The car companies named are. the Blue Island Car and Equipment company, to whom It Is alleged $400,000 was paid In excess as the tesult of the conspiracy; American Car and Equipment now the West Pullman Car company, Memphis Car company, $300,000, the International Car company of New Orleans, $5,000.
No steps have been taken by the Illinois Central to prosecute the defendants criminally, but it is said that the company is ready to give the facts to the state's attorney if asked. All of the defendants make sweeping denials of fraud or conspiracy charges and will make a strong defense. The companies add their denials and threaten libel suit against the Illinois Central. Mexico City, June 7. With reports reaching here today that a score of Mexican officials of the state of Yucatan have beerv slain by Maya Indians, who have been In open revolt since last SatuYday, the greatest excitement has been aroused In the capitol.
It ia feared the present uprising in Yueatan will prove the most serious the government has yet had to confront and arrangements are being completed for the pouring of troops into the province. All wire communication with Yucatan has bean cut off from the insurgents, the moat startling reports are redching here by courier. One report eays that 10,000 Maya Indians have taken to the warpath and already have murdered hundred of persons. The gunboat ZaragoaaUi lying In the harbor waiting tho arrival of additional troops to be rushed to the scene. Twenty miles of railroad have been destroyed by the Indians and many telegraph operators have been killed or made prisoners.
The trouble was brought on by dissatisfaction on the part of the Indians over the action taken by the government In regard to certain lands. It Is' understood. President Diaz today decided to personally direct the attempt to crush the revolt, following advices received by the government that the anti-Diaz faction In Yucatan had assisted the Indians in every way and were preparing to declare open war-against the government. With this report, it is feared the government is facing a revolt second only to that experienced In 1840, the province had Its Independence all but won, only to be finally conquered. Every government official In is reported to have been killed, while 500 Indians, led by insurgent Mexicans, sacked the entire town.
The towns of Tinum, Uayma and Tunkas, all between Merida and Valladolid, have been attacked, but the reports say only the officials and their families -were molested. The insurgents and Indians are well prepared to resist the government forces, being armed wlth'-lhodern rifles and a large amount of ammunition, is said to have been seized from the government arsenals.

The findings of the recent Investigation of charges against State Economic Zoologist P. A. Surface were made public today by Governor Stuart without comment on his part.
The findings were prepared by Secretary of Agriculture B. Crttchfield, Surface's superior officer, who presided at the hearing. Surface was charged by his former ssistant, A. F. Satterthvvait, with having used state property and state employes for private work on hi farm at Meehanicsburg.
Secretary Critehfield finds that, while the testimony shows that in some instances there was a lack of the prudent carefulness that should be exercised by a public official In order to avoid even the appearance of evil, 1 do not doubt 'his Integrity of purpose and believe that whatever mistakes were made were mistakes of the head and no of the heart Secretary Critehfield announces that the investigation convince him that no more experimental work for the state should be done on private property and that Jie has directed that all apparatus and other property of the state that was ased on tha Surface farm be turned over. to the superintendent of public grounds and buildings.

Washington, June 7 Recommending that the provision of the railroad WU giving the Interstate commerce commission power to suspend Increased railroad rates, pending an Investigation, be made effective upon passage. President Taft today sent a special message to congress outlining the situation in the railway rate dispute which has been the subject of conferences at the white house.
The message was prepared after 'the president had spent more than an hour In conference with Representative Mann, who ha charge of the rallro.ad hill it the house, and Senator Crane. The question of the best method of amending the senate and house bills, which, as they now stand, would not bo effective until sixty days after passage, was discussed. Despite the fact that many contend that the provision, heing In both senate and bouse bills, Is not a proper subject for the work of the conference committee, Representative Mann and Senator Crane believe the bill should go. to conference and the clause be altered there. President's Message.
The president's message reads: A recent effort by a large number of railroad companies to Increase 1' ight rates for interstate transportation of persons and property caused me to direct the attorney general to bring a suit and secure from the United States court In Missouri an injunction restraining the operation of such Increased rates during the pendency of the proceeding. This action led to a conference with the representatives of the railroad companies so enjoined, and the agreement by each of them to with draw the proposed Increases of rates effective on or after June 1, and to (file any further attempts at increases until after the enactment Into law of the' pending bill to amend the inter state commerce act or the adjournment of the congress; the further un derstanding that upon the enactment of such law each would submit to the determination qYthe interstate commerce commission the reasonableness of al. increases that each might thereafter propose. It Is m.v hope thht all of the other railroad companies will take like action. In order, however, that each may have the benefit of, a speedy determination whether or not its proposed increases In rates are juatifiable, provision should be made by congress to vest the Interstate commerce commission with Jurisdiction over such ques tlons as soon as possible.
In the senate -amendment to section eljditeeh of the act to regulate com? mertjs, contained in H. R. 17536, the Interstate commerce commission Is empowered immediately upon the filing of a proposed Increase In rates, of Its own motion or upon complaint, to enter upon an investigation and determination of the Justice and reasonableness of such Increase and In case it deems It expedient to suspend the operation thereof for a period specified in the section to enable It to complete such investigations. rThat JUL however, pri Ides that the act shall take effect and be In force only from and after the expiration of 'sixty days after Its passage, This provision allowed to remain in the bill would enable carriers, between the time of enactment of ths hill and the time of Its taking effect to file Increases on the rate 'Which would effective at the expiration of thir days and remain in effect find be collected from the public during ths pendency of proceedings to review them whereas If the bill be made to taka effect immediately such Investigation will have to be made before the public 1 called upon to pay the increased rate. I -herefora recommend that this latter provision be modified by providing that at least section nine of the senate amendment to the bill, whleb ts the section authorizing the commission to suspend the going into effeft of increases In rat, until after due Investigation, shall take efffect immediately upon the passage of the act.

IIHOK I PAM! New York, June 7. A new hitch over the awards of the arbitrators, E-Clark and P- H. Morrissey, Ip the case of the trainmen and conductors of the Lackawanna railroad, which has not yet signed the agreement with the men has been referred by the latter to the arbitrators for a ruling- A former hitch aa to the date when the BaJtl more and Ohio schedule would go Into effect on the Lackawanna Waa referred tome time ago to the arbitrators for a ruling and waa decided In favor of the men. who said It should be effective at once.1 An officer of one of the local divisions of trainmen said last The second hitch arises from the methods' of, payment The men are paid on th basis of a working month of thirty days. 'Sometimes they work thirty-one days in a month and do not kick at this, but they are docked a day when It la not possible to work more than twenty-nine days In a month.
Another complaint la that while the Baltimore and Ohio scale was to become effective from April 1, the pay envelopes th men received did not contain the difference in wages from th old scale from April 1 until the time the award was rendered, the men getting the extra rate only from the time the award waa made. I do net believe, however, that the Lackawanna will risk trouble on aeh a point aa this If the ruling of the arbitrators la against It" Fraternally yours, Benjamin JlcEnaney, president; Adam Ryscavage, vice-president; John T.

President McEnaney stated today that, If the men go back to work It is his Intention to visit every colliery and after getting; information at first hand, and detailed, to secure the appointment of one general committee representing all the collieries and then take up the grievances of the men with the company. Could Arrange Settlement. If the company and the men fail to agree the offer of the conciliation board to adjust the matters at issue at once still holds good. President McEnaney was satisfied today that If the men resumed work and the committees were appointed the district officers would be able to negotiate a settlement with the company, obviating the necessity i of going to the conciliation board.
The strikers have all along Insisted that having been non-union men and the strike of a non-union by a nonunion strike the men could not have broken any contract, and consequently they are not governed by the award. This view, however. Is regarded aa extreme, and is not in harmony with the views of the conciliation board. the company or the union, since the award states specifically that the wages and conditions apply to all anthracite mine workers, so that the ground taken by the striker Is regarded anything but tenable.
