CONSULTATION B, FATE OF RATE BILL N DOUBT Three Groups of Senators Busy Proselyting for as Many Courses of Action S WASHINGTON, March 8.—Confer- ences on the Hepburn railroad rate bill are every day becoming more numer- ous and more confusing. Groups of Republican Senators advocating the amendment providing for judicial re- view of orders of the Interstate Com- merce Commission; groups of Republi- can Senators that support the bill as it passed the House and was reported by the interstate commerce committee of he Senate, and groups of Democratic Senators may be seen in close consul- tation almost every hour of every day, the latter trying to determine what their party policy will be. The most notable of these groups is| the first mentioned, which has directed its efforts toward bringing about an agreement to an amendment that might prove satisfactory to all the Republi- cans. The members of this faction are making use of the argument that, un- less amended, the bill will be declared unconstitutional. It is an argument used alike to Republicans and Demo- crats. This faction professes encour- agement. It is said by some of these Senators that an informal poll shows a majority of the Senate in favor of a court re- view feature. This poll, however, is not in the form of a pledge. Senators Dolliver and Clapp, the Re- publican leaders of the faction support- ing the bill without amendment, still believe that the bill ought to go through in that form. No amendments have yet been submifted to them which they are willing to accept. They will have a conference with the President on Mon- day. It developed to-day that, in case the Republicans should be successful in getting together, it would tend to solidify the Democrats, and it is quite likely that they would endeavor to secure caucus action favoring the Hep- burn bill without amendment, basing their action on the unanimous support given to the bill by the Democrats of the House. Some of the Democratic Senators believe that if their party should get together on the bill-as it came from the House a large number of Republican Senators would vote with them. S lepi iy TO BE FOUGHT OUT IN SENATE. Plan for the Disposition of the Fhillp- pine Tarift Bill. ‘WASHINGTON, March 8.—Senator Lodge, chairman of the committee on the Philippines, has decided to make a mo- tion that the Senate discharge the com- mittee from further consideration of the tariff bill and that it be taken up for consideration ‘'by the Senate. Under the rules a motlon of this character is de- | batable. The Senator proposes to e | an argument in favor of the bill and that action be taken by the Senate con- cerning it. He does not intend, however, to precipitate action until the Statehood bill has been disposed of. The means suggested provides the only way in which the bill'may be brought be- fore the Senate, In view of the action of the committee in defeating it. Opponents of the bill declare the Benate is over- whelmingly opposed to the passage of the bill, and that Lodge's motion, if made, wili be met with a counter-motion to f | seataq lay it on the table, The sentiment of the Senate then would be determined. - President Roosevelt talked to Secretary Taft, Senator Lodge and Speaker Can- non today about the refusal of the Senate committee on the r..uppines to report the Philippine tariff bill. Secretary Taft has been extremely anxious to have the meas- ure enacted into law. As he left the ‘White House Secretary Taft sald: ““I have no idea what Congress may do regarding the bill. I do not attempt to dictate to or interfere with Congress, but, so far as I am concerned, this fight for lower tariff rates on Philippine products is just begun. I shall. continue to do that which I believe right and proper to afford the Philippines the relief and as- sistance they need.” Senator Lodge would not discuss the situation at length, but thought the pros- pects for the measure were not good. B o RO Y WOULD SAVE STATEHOOD BILL. President Holds n Conference With Friends of the Measure. WASHINGTON, March 3.—A confer- ence regarding the statehood bill now pending in: the Senate was held in the ‘White House this afternoon, the partles to it being, besides thé President, Sen- ators Long of Kansas, Burkett of Ne- braska @nd Warren of Wyoming, all sup- porters of the measure. It is. conceded that the prospects for the enactment of the measure into law are not bright and the conference was held for the purpose of considering means to save the bill. Earlier in the day Senator Beveridge, chairman of the Senate committee on territories, talked to the President along the same lines. e ——— Death of Mrs. Raynes. Mrs. Marie L.
