An interesting experiment now be
ing made by a railroad company is
described in a St Paul dispatch car
ried by the Associated Press in this
way: "The results ot a year of 'ex
perience have been so satisfactory
that the Northern Pacific railway has
gone into specialized farming on a
large scale and will add to the
11,000 hens which ate working for
its dining car department, a herd or
300 milch cqws and a garden truck
farm. At the same time it will
build a second bakery to supple
ment the supplies furnished by the
company bakery in Seattle, so that
its cars may have fresh supplies both
at St. Paul and on the west end.
The poultry farm at Kent, Wash.,
has made good. Fifty-two acres of
land are devoted to this purpose and
white leghorn hens were selected as
the best breed for the company's
A Washington dispatch says:
"The recently 'reformed' house
conaittee on .rules is proving to be
as secure a catacomb for proposed
legislation antagonized by the spe
cial interests as was the one of which
Speaker Cannon was chairman. Not
a single resolution which might ad
versely affect unlawful combinations
such as the sugar trust has been re
potted favorably by the new commit
tee. Speaker" Cannon dominates the
reformed body just as effectively as
he did the old rules committee."
Senators Elklns and Nelson were
called to the White House to confer
with the president on the railroad
bill.
Anticipating the passage of tho
railroad bill, the railroads ' made a
re-adjustment of rates in the terri
tory between the Atlantic ocean and
the Missouri river. They Increased
the rates and the same will become
effective in July,
It is announced that In the levy
of the new "corporation tax 230,000
returns representing 275,000 corpor
ations were made. It is estimated-
the receipts from this tax will reach
$26,000,000.
William L. Chambers has been ap
pointed third arbitrator with Chair
man Knapp of the interstate com
merce commission and Commissioner
of Labor Neill to adjust the contro
versy between the brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen
and the railroads west of Chicago.
The case involves demands for In
creased wages and forty-seven rail
roads are involved.
By a vote of 4 to 2 the repub
licans on the Ballinger investigating
committee refused to allow Attorney
Brandeis to estaolisri 'connection be
tween the elections of Senator Emil
Piles of Washington, the appoint
ment of Ballinger as commissioner
of .the general land office and the po
litical activities of tho Guggenheim
Cunningham affiliation in Washing
ton. Brandeis produced numerous
newspaper articles telling of a
'jollity' party held by tho supporters
of Senator Piles tho evening of his
election. In the articles Piles was
quoted as saying: 'I owe my elec
tion to Charles Sweeney. He mado
me senator.' Sweeney, Brandeis
said, Is tho president of the Federal
Smelting & Refining company, the
'lead wing' of tho Guggenheim syndi
cate. Elmer Todd, United States at
torney at Seattle, was quoted as say
ing at this meeting: 'We ore all
Sweeney men now.' Many of the
Cunningham claimants were present.
Ballinger attended that meeting as
mayor of Seattle and he was active
in tho election of Piles and finally
that Piles, in offering him the com
missionership, said: 'I am request
ed to offer you, etc.' Ballinger grew
sarcastic under the fire of the 'pros
ecution' attorney, when Brandeis
suddenly switched his cross-examination
to the clear listing of the Cun
ningham claims and brought in the
alleged connections of Ballinger with
the Alaska coal claimants. 'All your
attempts to besmirch my character,'
cried the Irate secretary, 'intimating
some devilish inspiration back of my
action, are utterly unfounded. I
clear listed the claims 'upon the evi
dence before me, as I would now, on
the same evidence.' 'But,' insisted
Brandeis, 'didn't your actions In
clear listing them imply that an ade
quate examination had been made?'
Objections were raised and the ques
tion was unanswered."
An interesting incident In the Bal
linger investigating committee pro
ceedings is described by the Asso
ciated Press in this way "During
an exchange of amenities between
Chairman Nelson and Attorney
Brandeis in the course of a weari
some afternoon, one of the women
spectators rebuked the former be
