A VOTE LIKELY THIS WEEK — A Discussion Will Probably Aria* Over Consideration of the Ad ministration Measure. _ Washington—Conservation legisla- • tion in the senate and the postal sav ings hank bill in the house constitute the features of the congressional pro gram for this week. The general ' j opinion is that both these measures { will be voted upon before Saturday j and they will be sent to conference. Party lines will be dissolved and | new lines of ’nsurgency developed in the senate in connection with the pub- 1 lie land withdrawal bill, which, it is expected, will be taken up Monday. : Some of tbe western members ars • preparing to make vigorous assaults i upon the Roosevelt-Garfield admini-1 stratlon of the public domain, espec ially as regards the blanket withdraw . als of large areas. It is not improbable that this course will lead to some bitter criticism of the more conservative policies of the Taft-Rallinger administration of the land laws. The discussions will arise over the cons.deration of the administration bill, which already has passed the house, to authorise the president to wuh iraw public lands for tbe purpose | «*f classification, for the protection of water power sites, for forest reserves, and to prevent mineral lands from 'ailing into the hands of monopolies. Many western members, notably Sen ators Warren and Clark of Wyoming. Heybum and Borah of Idaho. Carter of Montana and Hughes of Colorado, express fear that the enactment of this miinsure would mark the return i of land, so that tbe western states might he deprived of the benefits that would accrue to them from their de velopment. On tbe other hand, the more radical program carried out during the re gime of former Chief Forester Pin c hot is favored by such western mem bers as Senators Dixon of Montana. Flint and Perkins of California. Piles of Washington. Chamberlain and Bourne of Oregon. Smoot and Suther land of I'tah and numerous others. Supporters of statehood legislation are willing u> give the administration conservation measure the right-of-way if the republican leaders will give the;r pledge that a vote shall be taken upon tbe Arixona-Xew Mexico bill be fore adjournment. At one time there were indications that there would be a serious clash over the question of which should be taken up first. The democrats were inclined to oppose taking up any other measure In ad vance of the statehood bill, but at an informal conference yesterday, they decided their case wDuld not be ad vanced by precipitating such a con troversy so long as there is no time fixed for the present session to ad journ They argued that they could force action before adjournment in any event. The house committee on postoffices and postroads will meet Monday, and probably will report to the house the i-o-til savings bank bill perfected last week in the republican caucus. It is expected that the committee on rules w ill meet on Tuesday and report out a special rale that the postal bank b-il be g-ven the right of way through legislative channels. FUNERAL OF J. H.

I i Goats assist Railroad * * - rp ■ ■'■■■ ——■ ■ ■ " ■ . » I I | Aaur/cftar/cjoc THE Union Uat-.fic railroad has discovered a new use for MUy coats and every day at halt a hundred stock feeding stations on the line of the big railroad system, solemn goats with long white beards act the part Of dwias. luring unsuspecting sheep to their ' doom. l-ittle did the grave members of the Interstate Commerce commis sion think when they made a rulfng that live stock en route from the great western ranges to the packing houses along the Missouri river, should not be kei>t aboard, rak'rsad trains for more than .8 consecutive hours, but that, at the expiration of that period, the animals should be taken from the cars and given water anu provender that the ruling would be responsible for the creation of a band of goats trained to Ingratiate themselves Into the confidence of innocent little lambs, matronly ewes and stately rams and ■ bring these down to their death. But such is the case. And the Union Pacific railroad has a flock of goats, each individual member of which can do better work along the ’ lines for which it is trained than half a dozen men could do la twice the . time. »nen me zs-oour law went into • effect the t’nion Pacific railroad found It necessary to build big feeding yards st numerous points along its line—In 5 fact, these yards were installed about every 25 miles from end to end of the big system. Puring the shipping sea son that railroad brings hundreds of : thousands of sheep from the great ranees of Wyoming. Colorado. Utah. Idaho. Oregon. Montana. California and the southwestern states to the ! packing houses at Omaha. Under the new law it was necessary that these , sheep be unloaded, fed and watered, and then reloaded every 2S hours. These men who have ever attempt- ! ed to drive sheep will remember how i difficult the task is. especially to get the animals headed in the right direc-. tion. "As timid as a sheep" is a proverb, and its truth is proven every day and every hour wherever sheep are handled. If the sheep are in the stock cars it is a big Job tc get them out. Efforts of the attendants to get them to leave the cars usually result in the whole bunch crowding up in one end and re fusing to go out the door. Sometimes it was even necessary that each indi vidual sheep be actually lifted up and taken from the car. And sometimes this 2S-bour limit expired in the dead of night, when the sheep were all lying asleep on the floor of the car. At such times it was almost impossible to unload except by the “hand" method. At times half an . hour was consumed in unloading a sin gle car. After the sheep were fed and wa- | tered came the reloading, and again there was trouble, almost as much as when unloading. The railroad found it necessary to maintain a large force of men at each feeding station, it being found more economic to do this than to spend hours and hours loading and unloading a train. This cost money, and lots of it. but there seemed no means of avoiding the expense. There stood the United States courts ready to inflict a *100 fine every time a car of 6heep was not fed and watered every 2$ hours. Employing the men was cheaper than fines. One day • stockman who had come into South Omaha with a train of sheep dropped in at Union Pacific headquarters to see General Superin tendent W. L Park on business, and la the course of his conversation be gan telling of the trip down from Idaho. He had had lots of trouble loading and unloading, he said, until he reached North Piatte. Neb. "Rut there 1 saw the funniest thing in tuy life." he laughed "The station agent there has a boy gnd that boy has a goat—Just a plain old billy g-.vat. And that billy goat has learned to chew tobacco. "When we got ready to load our sheep, that kid took a plug of to bacco ia his hand and started. Billy started after the tobacco. The kid walked through the sheep and old Billy followed him. And blamed if all those sheep didn't walk right after that ©Id goat. They thought he was one of them, and you know a sheep will follow where another one leads. "The boy walked up the chute into one of the cars, Billy was right be hind him and sheep were simply fall ing over themselves to got In The boy* and Billy, remained tear the door and when the car was filled nith sheep they got out and the door was closed "That freckle-fa cod kid and that old hilly goat did in five minutes what half a dcaen men could not have done in ten." The stockman saw only a funny oc currence in the work of the goat, but Park saw the solution of a big prob lem. Two hours later a special train car rying the general superintendent left the Omaha yards, its destination be ing North Plattte. On arriving there the boy proudly made Billy show off. Within a month every feeding sta tion on the t'nion Pacific system was equipped with a couple of billy goats and their training was begun. Today, when a long line of stock cars, each filled with sheep, draws up at a feeding yard, one of these goat? is sent up the chutes and into the car among the sheep. He quickly makes the acquaintance of the newly arrived animals and then calmly walks out the door. True to the idea of follow ing a leader, the sheep fall in line and march out behind old Bill. This action is repeated until all the cars are emptied—and then Bill gets his reward—a chew of tobacco. The goats have learned to chew to bacco from the train men who pet and tease them whenever they have the opportunity, and the “chew*’ Is usu ally gives them as a reward when their task of unloading a train ot sheep is completed. The railroad com pany makes a regular allowance to pay for tobacco for these goats. When ready to reload, the goats are again sent among the sheep, with whom they frolic a few minutes, and then they start for the cars, followed by the sheep. When all cars are load ed the goats receive another chew of tobacco. The feeding yards are all equipped with electric lights so that cars may be loaded and unloaded at night, thus saving much time. And when a train arrives at night, especially are the goats necessary. At such times they enter the cars where the sheep are ly ing on the floor and butt the sleeping animals around until they are thor oughly awakened—and then they lead them oct into the feeding pens. These goats are great favorites of the railroad men and seem to know every brakeman and train employee on their division. But not a single one of the railroaders is more neces sary to the economical operation of the line than is one of the Bills, and none of them do more work for their salaries than the goats for their feed and tobacco. The facility of the goat for this work has long been known at the packing houses, where they are utilized to lead animals to slaughter. Hit Philosophy. Hank Stubbs—Ambition ain't hard ly truth while.

BUT TWELVE NEGATIVE VBTES Some of the “High Spots'* in the Enactment That It Took So Long to Compass. Washington—The senate passed the administration railroad hill at 9:55 o'clock Friday night. It had been under consideration for more than taelTe weeks and practically no other business ecept appropriation Walls was considered in that long period Only twehre votes—all of those by democrats—we>e recorded against the bill. The practical unanimity with which the measure was passed was due to the radical changes made In the measure from the form in which it w-as drafted by Attorney General W ickersham following numerous con Terences at the White House on the subject of amending interstate com I tuerce laws. All of the "insurgents'* who opposed many features of the original bill voted for it Friday night Through the elimination of pooling and merger sections and by reason of the adoption of many amendments in the interest of shippers, the prepress sive republicans claimed to have won a signal victory, and nost of the democrats expressed themselves as Uronbl* to the large portion of the measure lUd it not been for the retention of the sections to create a court of com merce it is likely that the rote for the hill would have been unanimous Debate ceased at ?:10 o'clock, when Senator Elkins, chairman of the later state commerce committee, moved to take up the bill that was passed by the house and. after striking out XL* ' f^y of that measure, to substitute the matter agreed upon by the senate. In that form the bill was voted upon, with the result that It was passed by a vote of 5b to Ih Just before the voting began Senator LaFoilette. one of the "in i sargents'* republican leaders, served notice upon the sc ate that unless the senate rcaVr.e- made a Jeteo mined fight for retention of amend ments procured by progressives am democrats, it could not hope to im prove the conference report. Speeches in explanation of the* votes were made by Senators Bacon LaFollette. Do!liver. Paynter. Clay. Simmons and Gore and brief remarks were made by others, j The new law will take effect sixty days from the date approved by the president. The “high spots” in the railroad bill as it passed the senate may be described as follows; The bill provides for the creation of a new “court of commerce” for • the consideration exclusively of ap peals from orders of the interstate commerce commission. The court is to consist of five judges, to sit la Washington. Their powers are to be co-ordinate with the judges of the j federal circuit court, to receive the same pay and emoluments and are to be appointed In the first instance by the president for terms respectively of one. two, three, four and five years E*ch as he retires to take up the work of a circuit judge, is to be suc ceeded by a designation from the cir cuit bench, these and other vacancies to be filled by appointment by the chief justice of the supreme court. His Love Was Erratic. Terra Alta, W. Ya—Ninety-four years old Henry Albright has paid $2,000 to free himself from matri mony. After the money had passed from his hand he declared that he would never marry again unless ab solutely certain the woman loved him. — SHIPPERS MAKE PUBLIC APPEAL. Manufacturers Tell People Not to Be Deceived With Cry Panic. Chicago—Simultaneous appeals to the people were made here Friday by the western railroads and by the I Illinois Manufacturers' association The railroads submitted their brief to "the men in the street and the i farmer" hinting hard times if the railroads are not permitted to in- j j crease their freight rates.

Washington—t'wdi.&i.d »y government's proceedings under the Sherman anti-trust act. by which a part of the proposed increase ot freight rates in the territory wy-st of the Mississippi river was suspended by injunction, railroads in the east and in the middle west have lik'd with the Interstate Commerce com mission tariffs embodying increased rates. Attorney Ceneral Wlekersham de clines to indicate what course be will pursue in behalf of the government, and the senate. Just on the verge of passing the administration bill, hesi tated. and finally postponed action until Friday.

The increases range from three to thirty-one rer cent The day started off by the fella* of schedules of increases by the Xew York Central, the West Shore and the Delaware. Lackawanna and Western.

LAND GRAFTERS SUSPECTED Forgery in Secutrrg Deeds be Se-efc nole Indian La-ds Alleged. Washington.—“Land grafters" are | said to be industriously operating in Seminole county. Ok'.a. according to reports quoted in a Setter sakaaitteed to the house by Secretary Ballinger. Secretary Ballinger calls upon con gress for an appropriation of $$ ftOO from the Seminole funds to defray the cost of government suits to set aside i illegal conveyances and protect the possessions of the SetninoJes. Iowa Wants la Des Moines.—Iowa shippers and manufacturers became alarmed Thursday over the reports tkat the 1* junction asked for by the government in the federal courts to prevent tha increase in railroad rates fail* to in clude the schedule which affects ratrs to most of the Iowa points. They took it up with the attorney general and railroad commissioners, and they immediately wired to Attorney Gen eral W'ickersham to have Iowa points included in the suit, and thus secura accruing benefits. Jail Sentence Present. New York.—Per a wedding present to young Edmund A. Guggenheim, e nephew of Senator Simon Guggen heim of Colorado, the court of general sessions today gave him a fine of $1,000 and a sentence of one day in jail. Through his counsel young Gug genheim had pleaded guilty to a third viola lion of the automobile speed law. It was urged that he i» to be married next Monday and that a prison sentence would be an unnec essary humiliation to his bride-to-be and to his family. It Postponed a Vote. Washington—But for the fact that Senator Overman of North Carolina, succeeded in haring the senate In corporate in the railroad bill a pro vision regulating injunction proceed ings affecting state laws, the senata probably would have voted c*e the railroad bill Thursday. The accept ance of that provision had the effect of inclining some democratic sena tors more favorably to the bill and of causing the democratic side ot the consular! on before voting.
