President Will Insist on Freight
Rate Legislation.
President Roovtevelt continued today his
conference?! with members of congress
on the subject of tariff revision nisi of
legislation providing for an Increase of
the powers of the Interstate commerce
commtstflon. One statement which stands
out almost w'th the pre-eminence of an
official announcement is that unle'ss con-
?;res at the present session should enact
egislatlrn looking to the regulation of
freight rates an extraordinary session of
the Fifty-ninth congress will be called
by the prfcitident tu deal with that prob-
lem. In a talk today with Speaker Cannon
ho Is recognised as being opposed at
this time to any revision of the tariff
the president reiterated his statement
made at Saturday's conference that
while he d sired action on the question-
he was willing to abide by the decision
of the republican leaders in congress hut
the Interstate commerce question Involves
a principle dear to every right thinking
and right minded American precisely as
the whole matter of dealing with corpo-
rations Involves a principle and he would
fight for that principle with all the
power that In him lies.
Speaker Cannon declined when he ten

THE BATTEN MYSTERY
Deepens as It Is Looked
Into.
I Houston Host Special.)
Corpus Cbrlatl. Texas. January II -It
"ppenrs (hat the deeper the Batten mya-
tery li probed Ike more mysterious It
becomes. Batten himself la atlll In the

physicians orders are that he be 1-ft
Mulct and. carried out.
Khrl(f Wright who went to Robstcwn
yesterday tn Investigate matters r'-
Inting ta Batten being found there. In-
formed Ihe correspondent this evening
that he did not believe that Batten at-
tempted suicide but that he had some
-vldcnre which Indicates that Ratten was
undoubtpdly kept or stayed secreted
omewhere about Corpus Chtiatl until
last Thuraday night when he was taken
to Robstown lti enme way and put in
the box car on Friday. It la said this
box car had been inspected on Thurs-
day and Batten was not tn It and he
whs first In It Friday. It alao appears
that some one muat have been providing
him with fond during all this time and
moved him about from one place to an-
other. Thue the element of attempted
foul play comes strongly Into thla mys-
terious drama which may yat end with
more than on character In the i-uee

Petersburg whereas Admiral Doubaaoft
has just errWed from St. Peursburg af.
tr a lengthy audience with Emperor
Nicholas following th fall of Port

Tb admiral who I ehtc of naval con-

peror Uist Thursday a plan to oomplat
th yvaaUlltatloti ot tb navy. Tha out
Una of this plan war Cabled to th
Associated Praa Saturday. Doubaaotf
says th am peror gave It most favorable
consideration aad said It would a sb-
Hted la tas council Sf mlnlrtsrs.
"I am convinced." said Admiral Douo-
aaoff. "of tha anainodlat aaceaslty for
th recoastruetlOB of our fleet at all th
Russian and foreign shipyard for th
purpos of measuring strsngth sufficient
to cotaasaAd awpreenacy at sea. This 1
ebeolutely tndlspaasable If w ar to ex-
pect vletacy ta th next war with Japan.
The ramaant of our fleet Is hardly mor
thaa debtia and ntlrly unequal to Ja-
pan's naval atraturta."
Th admiral further said It was neces-
sary to recognise the condition how-
ever painful they might be to th na-
tional self love. "Therefor" he added.
"1 don t hesitate to say that we tend
toward not far off peace. We will leav
the Japanese Port Arthur and the ter-
ritory they now occupy In Manchuria.
Ue will set ourselves resolutely at wore:
to prepare a powerful Invincible nary
as this peace will be but temporary and
the next time we shall be amply pre-
pared.'' Tito official view Is that Admiral Doub-
ssoff's statement I esprcsalv of th
growing sentiment In Russia favorable to
peace. Reports show th movement has
made notabl progress la recent days
particularly at Moscow. Emperor Nich-
olas has not shown a disposition to check
the movement. although personally he
disapprove of It opportuneness.

falo Cincinnati. Cleveland. Pittsburg 8L

Prelrint O. B. Ayers In his annual re-
port discussed very vigorously the ques-
tion of private car lines. He said:
We hnve Instituted a fight against one
of the most unrelenting and unscrupulous
monopolies of Ihe age: a corporation that
terrorises the railroads of our land and
even goes so '&)' as to say to the Inter-
state commroe commission. ''Keep your
handa off us; you have no right to in-
terfere no matter what our tranagrea-
eions mar be: we a re outside th jurisdiction-of
nny court or oommlaslen; we
are a private car line and will continue
to chnrife tho limit we think the puhllo
will stand and If. perchance you are
not satisfied to 'visy our toll for the
privilege of living you ran let your goods
rot aa you must do business with u or
quit." This Is what the Armour exclu-
sive contracts mean. "
Mr. Ayrrs said tbe sympathy of th In-
terstate) commerce commission waa with
tho commlslsnn merchant but th com-
mission doubted their power to give re-
lief. Mr. Ayers highly extolled President
Roosevelt "In him." he said "we hare
a man In whom we can with confidence
rest our cause believing that sooner or
later ho will find the proper means to
carry out that policy of reform which
waa so clcnrlj- outlined In his message."
Much Interest was tsksn in the report
submitted by John C. Scales of Chicago
on refrigerator car lines. It waa upon
this report thnt President Ayers based
his nrralgnment of tha Armour exclusive
contracts.
The convention will be In session until
Friday.
