To Disregard Rules Unless
He Gets Consent.

"If I cannot get the consent of the
senate to have this Nicaraguan treaty
considered In the open," said the sen
ator, "I shall be forced to disregard
the rules of the senate. I have not at
tended a single session of the com

because I did not propose to submit
the right of my investigation to the
clamp of fcrecy in executive session.

to die. I' believe It Is the outgrowth
of misrepresentation, fraud, tyranny
and corruption and I'm prepared lj
prove It"

treaty was not being negotiated with
"the people of Nicaragua or the olfl-
cers they have set up and clectpd," but

WILLIAM? DENIES
INTEREST IN MINE
Comptroller of Currency Says
Hill Mine But Declined to Buy Official Directed
Examination, Assayer Says.
Washington, July 7. John Skelton
Williams, comptroller of the currency
today told a' special senate committee
he never had any financial interest in
the Gold Mine at Gold Hill, N. C,
which came into prominence through
the use of senate stationery to adver
tise it, and the subsequent investiga
tion b ythe senate. He said men who
promoted the mine had offered htm
some stock but he had declined to
buy. Mr. Williams presented a tele
gram he sent to Newman at Gold Hill,
informing him that Berkeley Williams,
the comptroller's brother, and Cleve
land Perkins might look over the tiold
Hill property with a view to investing.

had arranged an appointment between
Newman and Perkins.

when he entered the treasury depart
ment he divested himself of all In
vestments In banks and financial or
ganizations. Mr. Williams produced a letter writ
ten by Newman urging WiHiams to
join in some stock ventures, in which
the promoter said he had Alaskan in
terests greater than those of "the

COMMISSI III
SESSION TODAY
Interstate Freight Rate Com
mission Has Convened to
Consider Appeals from
Justice Act.
HEARING MAY RESULT
IN REVISION UPWARD
Railroads Confident of Win
ning in Part Matter Will
Be Concluded and Final
Decision Made.
The first session of the Intrastate
freight rate commission, Judge Jus-,
tlce, chairman, was held at the But
tery Park hotel today. A large num
ber of railroad officials, Including
Mr. Thorn, the general counsel of the
Southern, and witnesses, were pres
ent. Attoraey General Blckett, Judge
R. W. Winston and J. Crawford
Biggs are appearing for the state.
Governor Craig took an interest in
developments, but will not sit with
the commission.
The scenes about the Battery Park
suggested animation today, and it
was admitted that the approaching
sessions of the commission would be
important. The sessions may last ten
days or more, but a determination
V. .1 IvAnl. .. .. ,1 1.. 1, J
.mo urcn . -M " enncru uy a.11 LiMiLtn lieu
to conclude the hearings at this time.
All the witnesses who care to be
heard must present themselves at this
time, the arguments of attorneys will
be carefully listened to and digested,
and then a final decision will ba
given.
Little doubt apparently exists, es
pecially in the minds of the traffio
managers of the railroads, and their
attorneys, that the railroads will wm
their case, at least in part. It is b
lieved that the schedules will be re
vised upward. The crux of the rail
road contention is that the legislature
did not really do, what It Intended to
do at the time the Justice Intrastate
freight act was passed, and . more
over, that it did not do what Mr. Jus
tice was under the impression he was ,
doing. The legislature, say the rail- '
road people, intended to reduce th
rates on a basis of five per cent, In
creaae over the Minnesota rates, but
what it actually did was to place the
rates more than five per cent under
the Minnesota rates, this by reason
of the difference in the western and
southern classification. Of course this
is of mere speculative Interest at this
early stage of the hearings, but the
belief obtains that the Justice rate
will be revised upward, in a measure,
or to such an extent as to remove
the railroad objection of unreason
ableness. The decision of the com
mission will Involve a very large
amount to the business men of the
state. The Southern alone Is claiming
that it will be deprived of half a
million dollars of revenue, if the pro
posed rates nro allowed to go Into ef-
