BEAUDETTE Merchant Tailor Cleaning and Pressing a Specialty 314 Minnesota Avenus MANY CHANGES IN RAILROAD BiLL Administration Measure Re- ported to the House. COMMERCE COURT REMAINS As Reported by the Majority of the Committes the Bill Contains Many of the Provisions of the ‘Measure Introduced by Representative Mann, the Chairman—Stock and Bond ls- sue Features of Original Retained. ‘Washington, April 3—The adminis- tration railroad bill, stripped of many of its original ‘features, but still pro- Mding for the creation of a commerce court and the regulation of railway agreements, consolidations, securities, rates and routes, all as amendments to the interstate commerce law, was reported to the house by the inter- state commerce committee. The measure contains as amend- ments liberal excerpts from the bill presented early in the session by Chairman Mann, whose views are not in accord with the administration, but Who takes charge of the bill on the floor as committee chairman, though personally opposed to many of its pro- visions. Mr. Mann will ask the house next Monday to make the bill privi- leged, failing which he will seek sus- pension of the rules to expedite con- sideration. Referring to the commerce court, in the first three sections of the bill, the report says it is proposed to central- ize the existing authority or jurisdic- tion of circuit courts in one commerce court, but without enlarging such jur- isdiction or authority. The present Jjurisdiction of the United States courts to set aside the interstate commerce commission orders is believed by many to be limited to the determina- tlon of jurisdictional facts and to the question of confiscation by the taking of property without due compensation. An inhibition against purchase or lease of capital stock of a directly or substantially competitive railroad or ‘water line is made in section 12, which also prohibits the same person serv- ing on competitive directorates. It permits any corporation designing to acquire interest in another similar cor- poration to make a preliminary agree- ment and then file petition with the commerce court for permission to car- ry out the agreement. The committee, however, is consid- ering reporting an amendment to have the petition filed with the commission instead of with the commerce court. Issuance of Stocks and Bonds. Railway security propositions are embodied in the concluding sections. They prohibit railroads from issuing any stock or bonds except upon appli- cation to the commission, which is to specify the respective amounts of stocks, bonds, etc., authorized to be issued for the respective purposes to which the proceeds are to be applied, and stating the price—their reason- able value—at which such securities may be sold. Common carriers are authorized to enter into agreements specifying freight classification and passenger and freight transportation charges, notwithstanding existing laws, includ- ing the Sherman anti-trust law, if a copy of the agreement in form and de- tail prescribed by the commission is flled with that body within twenty days after it is made and at least thir- ty days before the classification or charge goes into effect. The commis- sion, however, is vested with full au- thority in the matter and may sus- pend their taking effect. The carriers are expressly prohibit- ed from making any agreement for pooling or division of earnings, under penalty. A long or short haul clause is embraced in the bill, prohibiting a greater rate for a shorter than a long- er distance over the same line in the same direction, the shorter being with- in the lomger, or from receiving a greater compensation as a through rate than the aggregate of the local rates, though special exceptions are authorized. Other sections of the bill forbid re- bates, enlarge the scope of complaints, authorize the commission to establislky through routes and joint classifica. tions and rates, though exempting wa- ter traffic and street electric passen- ger rallways not ‘engaged in general freight business, and call for reason- able facilities, representation in court proceedings, etc. Your tongue is coated.

Pittsburg, April 2—Willlam Brand, former president of the common coun- cil, who was brought from the peni: tentlary to testify before the grand Jury, contributed his full confession to help the graft probeérs in trailing the “men higher up.” Brand’s confession and that of Charles Stewart leaves but one more fmportant witness to be heard, it is #aid, before more sensations are pub- Hely sprung. ‘This witness is Coumcil: man Hugh Ferguson.

Chicago, April 2—Bankruptcy or an immediate increase in freight rates was the cry sent up from the general offices of the big Western railroads following the boost in wages voluntar- 1ly given the employes of the Pennsyl- vania and the Reading lines, which action has already been felt in the increased uneasiness in the Western railway situation. “In order to maintain our equip- ment, pay our dividends and ‘at the same time increase our wage sched- ule,” said Vice President E. W. Mec- Kenna of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad, “we must increase our rates. There is but one way and that is to raise our freight rates. “Shippers protest at the very men- tion of such a thing.. It is time they realized that, as the railroads are the life blood of the country, unless they are kept up to the standard demanded by heavy traffic the country which they keep alive will feel the resultant effects and, lacking nourishment, will grow sick and die. “The panic of 1907 will be only & flea bite compared with the panic we are facing unless conditions are al- lowed to adjust themselves. The roads have but one alternative. They must increase their revenue through higher rates. The increase by the Pennsyl- vania lines in the wages of its men will undoubtedly influence wage nego- tiations in the West. Every dollar in- crease in wages means just so much to be raised by the roads and there is but one way to do this—raise the freight rates.” Every family, and especially those who reside in the country, should be provided at all times with a bottle of Chamberlain’s Liniment.

D., April 2—Nurses and attendants in St. Luke’s hospital were thrown into a panic when August Pe- terson, a patient in the hospital, sud: denly became a raving maniac and ran into the corridors of the hospital, | threatening the nurses with death.

Washington, April 2.—The ‘taking of testimony before the Ballinger-Pin- chot investigating committee was in- terrupted ‘by the ‘most ‘serious .clash among ‘the ‘senators and representa- tives that has yet marked the pro- ceedings.
