FOLLOWS THE ESCH-TOWNSEND IDEA RESEMBLES INTERSTATE COM- MERCE ACT AS AMENDED BY LOWER HOUSE. ‘Madison, Wis., March 3.—A substi- tute for the administration railroad rate commission bill was introduced in the senate during the day. The bill differs from the se-called administra- tion bill in the following $articulars: It reguires confirmation of the ap- pointment of commissioners by two- thirds of all the senators instead of by the senate and assembly. It impcses as a duty upon the railroads the doing of those things which the administra- tion hill gives the commission the power to prescribe. It specifically provides for commodity, concentration, transit and other special contract rates. It contains the long and short haul clause of the interstate commerce act. Tt provides for a stay of orders affecting rates or classifications pend- ing a review thereof. The bill gives the_power of super- vision and regulation as opposed to the power to initiate rates and make classifications in the first instance and provides for a settlement of difficulties between shippers and carriers without action on the part of the commission other than a notice to the carriers. The bill follows, the lines of the inter- state commerce commission act as it would be had the Esch-Townsend bill become a law. AFTER THE OIL TRUST. Receiver Asked for Kansas Branch of the Octopus. Topeka, Kaa, March 3.—Attorney General Coleman of the state of Kan- sas has filed suit in the supreme court asking that a receiver he appointed | for the Prairie Oil and Gas company, the Kansas branch of the Standard Oil company, off account of alleged viola-; tion of the state laws. The writ was made returnable March 10 and the answer to the ap- plication will be made March 30. The papers will be served in Wyandotte county because of the supposition that the interests of the company are cen- tered there. All the railroad companies in the state, with the exception of the Santa Fe, are made parties-to the suit. In addition action is brought against the Transcontinental Freight bureau, the Western Trunk line committee and the Southwestern traffic committee. All these concerns are alleged to have entered into an agreement with | the Standard Oil company to mnkei rates which are discriminative on oil and byproducts. Department of Commerce Too Busy With Other Trusts. ‘Washington, March 2.—No action will e taken by the house at this ses- &ion on the Kehoe resolution for an gation of the tobacco trust. Rep- resentative Smith (Ky.), who as delegated by the judiciary committee to consull the attorney general on the subject, has found it impossible to ar- range a satisfactory interview and ex- pressed the opinion that with the steel trust and Standard Oil investigation the department of commerce and labor will be running to its full capacity during the summer. | and - tame- despondent on account of poor ; Russian minister of the interior, is ' seriously ill at Kharkoff. ¢ EX-SENATOR WOLCOTT DEAD. Colorado Republican Leader Expires at Monte Carlo. Denver, March 3.—A cablegram an- mouncing the death of former United States Senator Wolcott of Colorado and the leader of the Wolcott Repub- licans in this state at Monte Carlo, France, has been received in this city. The death of Mr. Wolcott was a se- vere blow to his many friemtls, as he was apparently in the best of health when he left the state last summer for a sojourn abroad, presumably be- cause of rebuffs offered his political projects. Edward Oliver Wolcott was born at Longmeadow, Mass.,, March 26, 1848. He was a veteran of the Civil war, having served in the One Hundred Fiftieth regiment, Ohio volun- teers. He studied at Yale university and graduated from the law depart- ment at Harvard. Following his grad- uation he came to Colorado and estab- lished a law practice at Denver. He rapidly built up a lucrative practice, becoming heavily interested in valu- able mining and other enterprises in the state. His advance in political life was equally p ounced. He served as United States senator from 1889 to 1901. He was chairman of the com- mittee appointed by President McKip- ley to visit Eurorc to negotiate for in- ternational bimetallism. wiLL C‘(_JET MANY MILLIONS.

CONTEST THROWN INTO ASSEMBLY FOURTEEN REPUBLICANS S8IGN REPORT FAVORING THE UN- 7 SEATING OF ADAMS, Denver, March 3.—Consideration of the reports of the committee which heard the evidence in James H. Pea- body’s contest for the office nf gov- ernor was postponed by the joint cen- vention of the general assem)ly on ac- count of the death of Edward 0. Wol- cott, former United States senator from Colorado. Four reports were flled with Lieu- tenant Jesse A. McDonald by the gu- bernatorial contest committee. Fourteen Republican members of the committee, a majority: of one, finally signed the report in favor of ousting Adams and seating Peabody, which was prepared by counsel for Peabody, but six of these committee- men declared that they reserved the right to vote as they saw fit after hearing the arguments in joint conven- tion. They said they signed the re- port merely to get the matter before the assembly. The nine Democratic members made a report recommending the dismissal of the Peabody contest because no cass had been made by the evidence. The report which may prove to be the most important was prepared by William H. Griffiths, chairman of the cormittee, and bears in addition to his signature those of Representatives J. A. McIntyre, C. E. Dungan and J. B. Thompson, all of them Republicans. This report sets out that there was 8hown to have been fraud in forty pre- cincts in ‘Denver which was not dis- proved by Adams. However, it also sets out that Adams proved by his evidence that 60 of the 104 precincts &} attacked by Peabody were proven to be without fraud and that the election in them was regular. On _this_-.account the report says Adams still has enough votes to give him a good sized plurality and elec- tion. SCRAMBLE FOR WORK CHECKS. New York Police Reserves Called Out to Quell Riot. New York, March 3.—A newspaper advertisement offering a day’s work to fifty “snow shovelers brought such a crowd of applicants to a point in Fifth street that the police reserves were called .out to quell an incipient riot which attended the scramble for work checks.
