More Effective. It Say# It Cannot Be Tropcrly Enforced Without Further Lesrialfttion?Tlia Advance In Freight It;iiea? I Washington*, D. C. (Special).?The Interstate Commerce Commission in its annual report again emphasizes the fact that tbe act to regulate comm3rce has proved defective and Inadequate and cannot bo properly enforced until further legislation is provided. "The requests of tbe commission for needful Amendments," the report says, "have been supported by petitions and memorials from agricultural, manufacturing and commercial interests throughout the country; yet not a line of the statute has been changed and noue of the burdensome conditions which call for relief has beeu removed or modified. The reasons for tbe failure of the law to accomplish the purposes for which It was enacted have been so frequently and fully set forth that repetition cannot add to their force or make tbem better understood It is sufficient to sny tbat tbe existlng situation and the developments of 'PINE INSURGENTS. :ment that many deserters are returning to homes.) tho past year render more imperative than ever before the necessity for speedy and suitable legislation. We therefore renew the recommendations heretofore made and earnestly urge their early consideration and adoption." The report refers to the recent advances in freight rates, mainly effected, It says, by concerted and agreed changes in the classification of freight articles by roads, both connecting and competing, and adds: "It is not intended to lutimata that these advanced rates are unlawful, and no opinion is expressed as to their actual or relative reasonableness. But the fact that such extensive increases In railroad charges have been brought about hv tha maf-hnrt HataorlhAil rrmof h? rkf significant Import and furnish a weighty drgument In favor ot measures which will be effective to secure compliance with the primary requirements of the act. These advances in rates have been agreed upon by the carriers without opportunity, as a rule, for shippers, dealers, or consumers to be heard. It is inevitable that changes so numerous and important, affecting public interests throughout so large a part of the country, . will give rise to many complaints, both In respect of the reasonableness of particular rates complained of and alleged discriminations in the relation or rates. But so loug as carriers are practtcally free to make and apply such rates as they choose, whether acting independently or by concert, and whether competiog or otherwise, and there is at the same time no adequate provision for determining whether such rates are just and reasonable, or for preventing the exaction of those founii unjust and unreasonable, although declared by the statute to be unlawful, the Injustice which may result luusi ub wunout nvaiiuoie rearess. The report describes tho recent investigation held by the commission in regard to proposed changes iti the official classl-, flcatlon and the discontinuance ot commodity rates by carriers in the East. It says that the petition filed with the commission by shippers, alleging that th6 investigation had disclosed violations of the Anti-Trust law, together with the testimony taken, was, at the request ot the petitioners, submitted to tho Attorney-General, who in his reply, held that uo violation of the Anti-Trust law had been made to appear, and he declined, therefore, to institute the proceeding for enforcement of that law which the shippers requested. The report adds: "The complaints received by the commission in regard to this action of tho carriers came from seventy-three cities and towns and fourteen States, and were signed by 334 persons, firms, companies, corporations or associations. The commission deemed it important that this largo number of shippers, representing so many direrse business interest iu practically ull portions of the northern and eastern sections of the United States, should be officially Informed of tLe limited powers of the commission, the necessarily general character of the Inquiry, and tho result of the investigation. Accordingly, the commission notified l u v uuuipitumug snip purs ul iijo results ui the general Investigation which liud been had and that any formal complaint directed against such cbauges in classification or rates would have prompt attention. It wa9 stated, howover, that while tbe coramis- : 9lon can order the discontinuance of wrongful discriminations and unreasonable rates.it is without authority, as the aot row stands, to prescribe reasonaplfe rates, for future observance by the carriers or to secure prompt enforcement of any o? its decisions." . .

Washisotoj?, D. C. (Special).?The spec* lal committee of the House of Representatives to investigatethe case of Brlgham H. Roberta, of Utah, on Wednesday reached a final conclusion. The committee was unanimous on the questions of fact and also on the ineligibility of Roberts to hold his seat In the House. Seven of them voted In favor of a report to the effect that the House was within its rights In stopping him at the bar of the House, and the other two In favor of a report [that he should have first been seated and then expelled. Those who voted for the majority report are: Chairman Taylor, of Ohio; Landis, ol Indiana; Freer, of West Virginia; MePhorson, of Iowa; Morris, of/Minnesota, Republicans; and Mlers, of Indiana, and Lauharn, of Texas, Democrats. Representative Llttlelleld, of Maine, drew up the minority report. which was also signed by Representative De Armond, of Missouri. Tho findings on the fact are as follows: "We find that B. H. Roberts was elected as a Representative to thqFlfty-slxth Congress from tbe State of Utah, and was at the date of his election above the age of twenty-five years: that he had been for morethan seven years a naturalized citizen of tbe UnitedBtates and was an inhabitant of the State ot Utah. "We farther find that about 1373 bo married Louisa Smith, tits first lawful wife with whom he has ever since lived as such, and who, since their marriage, has borne him six children. "That about 1885 be married as his plural wire uelia Dibble, with_whom he has ev*r since lived us such, and who, since such marriage, has borne him six children of whom the last were twlhs, born August 11, 1897. "That some years after his said marriage to Celia Dibble he contracted another plural marriage with Margaret C. Shlpp, with whom he has ever since lived .la tne babit and repute of marriage!!' Your committee is unable to fix the exact da(e^of this marriage. It does not appear that/be. held her out as his wife before January, 1897, or that before that date she held WBfP; out as her husband, or that before thaw date they were reputed to be husband and wife. "That these facts were generally knowt\ in Utah, publicly charged against him during his campaign for election, and were not denied by him. j-)\ "That the testimony bearing on these, facts was taken in the presence of Mr. Rob-:' erts and that he fully* cross-examined ttier witnesses, but declined*0 place himself on the witness stand.*?- ?{ "'.] Wim Hacne Treaty is Favored. i Washington, D.
