June 9 There besan to dawn on administration officials yesterday some realization of the stu pendous task set for the Interstate Commerce commission through the damming of the flood of freight rate increases by the president and tiio at torney general. -.' It is evident that in examining the housands, of rate cases which will come before it when the new railroad bill shall have become a law the coin- mission will handle matters of moie vital interest to the country, as meas ured by a monetary standard than ever have been involved In an action of which the government was a party. It was admitted by the railroad ot- ficlals who took part in the confer ences at the white house this week that the rate raising had scarcely be gun and that the tariffs concerning Which the government injunction suit was filed were but a tiny percentage Of the increases under contempla tion. This means that hundreds, of thousands of dollars are at stake for each railroad and that the exchange of millions' of dollars in each traffic territory depends on whether the In terstate commerce commission shall see fit to pass the proposed increases. The first, act of the commission wil' be to dispatch its -special agents to the headquarters of the various roads. .These officials are, in effect, masters in chancery and it is. in their power to demand and receive Infor mation touching upon the vital affairs Of the railroads. This Information will rbe compiled and laid before the commission as testimony. The legal representatives of the various roads will be granted hearings later before the commission. The cases will be grouped as much as possible, and the commission, in determining the rats, will take territory into consideration rather than individual lines.

(By Leased Wire to The Times) Washington, June 9 At tiie capl tol today, about the white house, and in political-; circles here ' generally, there was animated disV-uusioti of the results of the primaries held in var ious parts of the country this week. The result in Iowa was the shbject of most discussion. Tiiat result was In part u victory for the progressives and in part a victory for the regulars. Both the progressive and regu.ar factions in congress profess to derive satisfaction from it. The outcome of the Iowa primaries was: defeat for renomination of Representative Hull, of the Des Moines district for twenty years a member of the house, and a former Cannon supporter. ; Nomination of eight progressives for the honse-. on the republican ticket, and of three regulars or stand patters. Nomination of Governor Carroll, a stand-patter, to succeed himself, and the probable control of the state con-' vention by the regulars. So far as the house Is concerned, the result is to increase tiie strength of the progressives from Iowa in that body. . 1 The defeat of Representative Hull was overwhelming. T.iis was the big surprise of the primaries. Hull was attacked as a Cannon supporter and the fact that Speaker Cannon went into the district and spoke for him was used against him. Mr. Hull is chairman of the house committee on military affairs, and has been in the house for two decades. (Continued On Page Seven.) COMMANDER PEARY WILL FIGHT SUIT (By Leased Wire to The Times.)
