June 29.—The Sen- ate devoted most of its time today to consideration of conference reports, in- cluding the reports on the railroad rate bill, the pure food bill and the meat in- spection provision of the agricultural bill. | All were adopted during the day session. The principal controversy was over the rate bill, when Senators Bailey and Tillman had a heated colloguy, the more notable because of the warm friendship existing between the two Senators. renewed his attack on the pipeline AR w0 ZYOZ5 s, UILDING ONE 2 AFTER THE FIRE ET, AND A CLOTHING FIRM WHICH HAS OFFERS A BRIBE: BIEAMISTS WIFE FLODDS MAKE | | | | NEW CHANNEL Tries to Buy Release of Overflow of the Colorado Man Whose Arrest She Caused.

SENATE GONFIRMS LANE ON THE COMMERCE BOARD Selection of Californian Approved After Lively Fight on the Floor. WASHINGTON, June 29.—The Sen- ate today In executive session con- firmed the nomination of Franklin K. Lane of California to be a membar of the Interstate Commerce Commission to succeed former Gov- ernor Joseph W. Fifer of Illinois. The President se.t the nomination to the Senate on December 6 last, but the Senate interstate commerce committee failed to take action. Opposition to reporting the nomination, it was pub- licly stated, was based on the fact that if he was confirmed the Democratic members would dominate the commis- sion, Lane being a2 Democrat. Senator Elkins made a favorable re- commendation on the nomination to- day by polling the committee. Senator Foraker led the fight against confirm tion today, contending that Lane lacks conservatism and is a pronounced’re- former in railroad matters. Senators Kean and Tillman were both opposed to confirmation. Senator Elkins urged confirmation and in this was joined by Senator Flint, whé said he had opposed the nomination on account of Lane's politics, but now that the commission is to be enlarged by the new rate bill ew his objection. -Op a viva: Lane was confirmed. vana vote e thought, the only means’ of obtain- | Crosses the Line to Mexico. IMPERIAL, June 29.—Flood water from the Colorado River, finding fts way into Salton Sink, has been cutting a new channel about 30 feet deep through the flooded country at the rate of about a third of a mile a day. As the channel has proceeded it has less- ened the threatened serious damage to Calexico and Mexicali, the twin towns on_the International line. Three or four days ago the river cut a channet across the line, passing Ca- |lexico at sufficient distance to relleve serted that she would send a check for | | | | | | | tact. it from the pressure of water, but cut- ting into the Mexican town to the ex- tent that the Southern Pacific depot was undermined and fell into the stream. Three or four small addbe houses on the outskirts of, the town have also gone into the river, but as yet the business portion ‘remains in- Whether the town will escape further damage cannet be,told, though there is fear that a large portion of the place will yet be taken away. There is also a bare possibility that Calexico may be damaged, though this Is now believed improbable. Mexicali is a town of about 500 in- habitants, of neat appearance, but of no large Investments in bulldings, the Southern Pacific Rallroad being the chief sufferer. Aside from the damage to these towns the water situation has seemed to improve from the standpoint of the Imperial Valley people. The flood season Is believed to be drawing to a close, and tne Southern Pacific is accumulating a .great force of teams and men on the.Lower Colorado, with a view to turning the river back to its old channel when,the water falls to the 20-foot level, which should be by July 20 at least. “ Two large headirigs:have been com- pleted for this work, and-engineers in charge state that it is almost certain that the water will be turned within ninety days. It is an open question, however, whether the turning of the river this fall will be in time to prevent the flooding of the Southern Pacific main line across the desert.

MADRID,. June 29.—Senor Perez Ca- bellero, Spanish Embassador to Italy, has been appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs in successlon to the late Duke of Almodovar. The new Minister was associated with Almodovar at Alge- ciras, where the former was the chief rator in behalf of Spanish-French ontentions. 5, amendment as being in the interest of the Standard Oil Company. “About the time the Allison amend- ments were incubating.” he said, “there was a great furore about the Garfleld | report on the Standard Oil Company |and we were told that the exposures gf its crimes would help the vote on 4ne rate bill and under the cover of this dust the President retired from his | advanced posiuon on railroad legisla- tion and accepted the Allison provision. There the big stick and t..e pitchfork, which had been in alliance, found themselves separated, and the pitch- fork, while doing duty on the firing | line, looked around-only to see the tail of its associatp hustling toward the rear, sliding toward the Allison bage, | to use a baseball phrase. The big stick was rushing on all fours to get be- | tween Father Allison's legs.” | He had no fault to find, he added, | except that he considered that the President had been inconsistent in not coming to the assistance of the Senate conferees. He considered it “a little rémarkable that just when he might do something to thwart the police of this gigantic monopoly he is as mum as a mouse, except that there Is now another hurrah about what the Presi- dent is going to do to the Standard Ofl Company in the way of suits.” He added that, notwithstanding the prosecution which has been decided upon, we are carefully told in advance that the high officlals, such as Rocke- feller, Rogers and Archbold, are not to be molested. CLASH WITH ELKINS. Tillmen then commented upon the employment of District Attorney Mor- rison of Illinois as special counsel of this case, saying that he had demon- strated “how not to do it” in the Walsh case. “It,” he added, “they wanted an ex- :ert in that line, he s as good as could o In the same connection he said he had been informed that Hon. Frank Monnett, the “most competent of all at- torneys, is to loge his job.” He added: “So It goes; the dear people are bam- boozled every day, but the hurrah goes on. The President assures us from time.to time that fhe crimes of the Standard Ofl Company are to be pun- ished, but when it comes to a real fight, and when there is any opportuni- ty to do something, he sits dumb and allows the House conferees to compel the Senate conferees to yield to the demands of the Standard Oil Com- pany. Senators Cullom and Hopkins de- fended Morrison as a painstaking and diligent attorney, and Senator Foraker asked for the source of the South Caro- lina Senator's information concerning the probable retirement of Monnett. This, Tillman said, he was not at lib- erty to give. 1§ Senator McCumber protested against the elimination of the provision of the pass amendment permitting the free transportation of farm laborers. Sen- ators Dolliver and Tillman agreed in assuring him that they could be carried as at present, as “harvest excursion- ists,” ;to which the North Dakota Sena tor replied that if that were true the act was not worth the paper it is writ- ten on. Senator Elkins defended the confer- ence report on the commodity amend- ment, saving that as originaly adopted the provision meant a confiscation of the property of the independent ofl op- erators. He also took exceptin to Till- man’s criticl: ying in reply that he (Elkins) is as free from the influe of Standard Oil as any member codld be. He also declared that the Presi- dent needs no defense, and he charged that the South Carolina Senator was aggrieved because the President did not agree with him. He declared that the effect of the Tillman policy would be to break down the independent companies and said that apparently that was what Tillman was trying to do. He admon- ished the South Carolinian that even i he desired to injure Standard Oil he should not at the 3ame time destroy the business of thousands of others. He sald Standard Oil is able to take ‘v ‘When Tillman called up the confer- | ence report on the railroad rate bill he | HOUSE VIGTORY ~ ON MEAT BILL |Government to Pay Cost and No Dates to Be Put on Labels. | |Senate Recedes From Its Position on the Measure. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL. ‘WASHINGTON, June 29.—Speaker | Cannon’s firmness in holding out for | the House ideas concerning meat in- | spection has resulted in a victory for | him and the body over which he pre- | sides. The Senate today receded from | its antagonistic position in the face of | the firm position taken by the House | conferees, backed by the Speaker. | Early In the afternoon Senator Proc- | tor, chairman of the committee on ag- | riculture, reported that the House com- | mittee would not recede from their in sistence that the Government bear the cost of inspection and entered a mo- tion that the Senate conferees give way. After considerable discussion, in which the willingness of the Senate to | recede was made clear, Senator Proctor withdrew his motion, being shown that it was contrary to the practiees of the | Senate to instruct its conferees. Leaving the chamber, he went-mme- diately to a meeting of the conferees on the agricultural appropriation bill, of which the meat inspection provision is an amendement. Without further delay the conference report was drawn in accordance with the insistence of the House. The important differences between the two houses were over the question of who should bear the expense of in- spection and whether canned products | of the packing house should bear the | date of inspection upon their labels, the Beveridge amendment providing for dates upon the labels and that the] packers should pay the inspection fees. | The House opposed both these provi- | sions and by standing firm the House won a victory. Just before the Senate took a recess | at 6 o'clock Senator Proctor presented | the conference report and it was adopt- ed without debate. 2 Sy A HARRIMAN ANNOUNCES TWO NEW APPOINTMENTS | CHICAGO, June 29.—The following appointments, effective on July 1, have been announced from the traffic de- partment of the Harriman lines in this | city: Willlam McMurray, to be gen- eral passenger agent of the Oregon | Rallroad and Navigation Company, | | vice A.

Balley announced his intention to vote for the report, but confessed that neither of the new provisions was to his liking. The pass clause authoriz- ing a raiflroad company to transport the families of its emploves, but mak- ing no provision for the families of railroad officials or attorneys, was de- nounced by him as a “transparent piece f demagogy.” He considered it an appeal to prejudice, entirely unworthy |of Congress. He ecriticised the con- ferees for so shaping the provision and was sharply challenged by Tillman, when one of the sharpest conflicts of the session occurred between the two | Democratic leaders, standing elbow to |elbow. The clash came when Mr. Tillman interrupted Mr. Bailey. | “An attorney exclusively in the em- | ploy of a railroad might,” said Till- | man, “be classed with the other em- | ploves, but the attorney who gets a | pass and does nothing else but watch | juries, round up conventions and do {other little odd jobs and never gets |any compensation except transporta- | tion for himself and his family is the |man I was after. 1 do not know what the Senator thinks about it, but I | think that claes have got no business riding on the railroads at all unless | they pay for it any more than any other man.” To this Bailey replied that he dld not regard such men as attorneys, and Tillman proceeded, asking: “What about the man who works with his hands and the man who works with his | brain? When the man who works with his brain only works a little while and is a pettifogger, a trickster and a lobbyist? That,” he added, “is the man we ure after.” Tillman gave evidences from the start of considerable feeling, and as he progressed his manner became more and more intense until he fairly shout- ed in Bailey's face as the two men stood facing each other and near enough to touch each other. Bailey replied to the last remark by saying that such a man as the South Carolina Senator had described should not be given a pass. “We did the best we could,” replied Tillman at the top of his voice. “There are so many lawyers here who stick it out that there is no harm for lawyers to get passes and that lawvers be ex- cepted.” By this time Bailey had become ex- cited and he replied: J “There are too many demagogues who are always talking against the lawyers, except possibly half a dozen.” At this juncture the Vice President found it necessary to interfere and to insist upon the Senators . addressing the chair. The interruption gave Mr. Bailey an opportunity_ to get his breath, and when he resumed he was quite calm. Bailey, in reply, sald: “The Senator from South Carolina has admirable qualities, but he has got some prejudices which obscure his ense of fairness and clearness. I do not know what grudge he has down in South Carolina against the lawyers, but what he ought to do, and nearly all he needs to do to make one of the most useful Senators of this body, is to get that cobweb out of his mind. He per- forms great service; he does it fear- lessly and he does it honestly, and the only thing that k-eps him from doing it wisely is now and then he yields to this very kind of a prejudice. I have no patience with it myself. “I think a lawyer, if he is a good one, is as good a citizen &s lives beneath the Tillman replied, declaring his regard for respectable members of that pro- fession, but adding: “But I have a most infinite contempt for seme of the breed | I know." He quoted Jesus characterizing the lawyers as “hypocrites,” and sald the “dirty creatures who run the political conventions” are the men whom he would shut off from the pass privilege. The conference report was adopted without division. This vote had the ‘Nearly Thrown From the 'WIFE OF THAW HAS CLOSE CALL IN AUTOMOBILE ON Machine by Abrupt Stop.

He explained that Mchble’ had made & very complete statement of everything he had observed during the dinner and afterward on the roof gar- den when White was shot. A witness was found today by coun- sel for Thaw whose testimony, they say, will be of the utmost importance to the defense. This man, whose name is withheld, is said to be an old friend of Thaw, and will testify that he talked on Monday night on the roof garden with Thaw, who appeared to be quite normal in his demeanor and entirely a(i his ease. Suddenly, according to this tnformant, Thaw turned pale, his eyes glared and, turning suddenly away, he walked toward where White was seated and the shooting followed almost im- mediately. Thaw's counsel considered this testi- mony as of the utmost importance, as indicating that Thaw did not go to the | roof in quest of White and it was only when his eyes suddenly alighted on the | man who, he believed, had wronged him that his passion for vengeance suddenly blazed forth. | While waiting for the opening of court Thaw talked freely with news- paper men. He appeared to be in good physical condition and sald that he slept fairly well last night. | “How do you find the beds”’ Thaw was asked. | “Well,” he replied, “they are not ju}ts what I've been used to, but I guess I 1| get accustomed to them.” ‘ Thaw was taken intg Justice Cowg| ing’s court, where he was to plead.

Members of Holse Are Plensed That Work of the Session Is Fimished. WASHINGTON, June 29.—“We're go- ing home; we're going home tomor- row,” was on the minds of the members of the House today when they as- sembled for the last day's work pre- vious to adjournment. Conference reports were considered throughout the day. The final report on the agricultural appropriation bill containing the meat inspection pro- vision was adopted, the Senate eventu- ally agreeing that the Government should pay the cost of inspection. Other, matters of vital moment were the agreement to the conference re- port on the pure food bill, the Ohio and Lake Erie ship canal and the naturalization bill. WILL ADJOURN TODAY.

All of the appropriation bills have been passed and will be ready for the sig- nature of the President tomorrow.

Thaw has had several unpleasant ex- with prison discipiine since keepers say that on each occasion he has met them gracefully. He had con- | siderable difficulty in getting to sleep last night because of the intense heat in his cell and about midnight called a keeper and asked permission to walk in the corridors. “I'm used to night air, you know, and this is pretty hard on me,” sald the prisoner in making the request. “I'm_sorry, but the regulations for- bld prisoners leaving their cells dur- ing the night,” replied the keeper. “Then 1 guess I don't walk,” com- mented Thaw, as he returned to his cot. An hour later he told the keeper he was hungry and asked for a lunch, but again the regulations were called to his attention. “Then I don’t eat, eh?" said the pris- oner with a smlle, and a few minutes later he was sound asleep. He was up early this morning, and by the time the gong sounded at 7 o'clock was ready for the morning exercises in the corridor. Talking to one of the keepers about the exercise he got in prison, he said it was hardly enough for him, as he | had been In the habit of swinging In- dian clubs every morning when he first got up. He asked if it would not be possible for arrangements to be made for him to have either & pair of clubs or dumbbeils brought to him so that he could get more exer- cise. “Not on this tler,” was the %eeper's diplomatic way of informing Thaw that prisoners charged with murder are mot allowed to have weapons of any kind or anything else with which they might possibly do themselves or others an injury. MRS. THAW IN ACCIDENT. Mrs. Thaw narrowly escaped becom- ing one of the central figures in an- other tragedy today while on her way downtown. She was coming down Broadway in a rapidly moving automo- bile, when a man ran directly in front | of the vehicle at a street crossing. The chauffeur brought the machine to a stop within a few inches of where the man stood, apparently transfixed with fear. The sudden stopping of the machine threw Mrs. Thaw forward and almost into the street. She gave a cry of fright, but soon regained her compos- ure when it was seen that no one had been hurt.
