THREE BILLS DEAD.
Subsidy , Immigration and Philippine
Bills arc Killed.
Washington , D. C. , Jan. 10. II is
now said at the capital that three Im
portant bills , each representing n dis
tinct administration policy , are prac

behind the killing of the bills there Is
to be traced n personal antagonism to
President Roosevelt nnd a desire to
belittle or Injure his administration.
This Is only indirectly true.
The subsidy bill , immigration bill ,
nnd the Philippine tariff bill are all
moribund , chiefly if not entirely be
cause each of them contains certain
provisions of a radical character which
have aroused the enmity of powerful
interests in various parts of the coun
try.

eight for the preceding week , and that
the deaths from pneumonia and
bronchial pneumonia Increased from
232 In the week ending Dec. 22 to

QUESTIONED ON bTIFLING OF
COMPETITION.
U. P. ONLY A LINK IN THE CHAIN
Traffic Manager Stubbs Tells Interstate -
state Commerce Commlsolon It
Never Was a Competitor of the
Southern Pacific.
Chicago , Jnn. 10. Two attorneys
representing the government mniio < o
tormined eliortb to Induce two tralilc
ninnugei-H .of traiiH-contlueiital lull
roads to ndiull that u concent ration
of ownership ineiuiH the stilling of
competition In railroad tralilc. The
attorneys wore Messrs. Severance and
Kellogg and the trullle managers weru
J. C. Stubbs of the Southern Pncille-
Union Paclllc systems nnd J. M. Han-
nnford of the Northern Pncille rail-
roud. Both men contended thnt de
spite the consolidation of intorciils
that , hns tnken place between tlui
Union Paclllc nnd the Soul hern Pa
cific nnd between the iN'orlliorn Pacific
nnd the Great Northern , competition
between the lines which nre under tlia
[ ownership is ns sharp today ns it
ever was. The examination of Mr.
Sliilibs covered nil points connected
with the history nnd traffic arrange-
nieiils of Iho Southern Pacific , Union
Pacific , Central Pnclflc ami many ol
Die allied lines which tiru now under
the conlrol of 15. II. Harrlmnn. Mr.
Stubbs asserted from flrsl lo Insl Hint
Ibo Union Pacific never had been on
j flctive competitor of the Southern Pa-
line'on California busings Tor the
reason thai It hnd no outlet beyond
j Ogd.'n over Us own rails direct to
California. Sneb competition , bo snid.
as had existed between the two roads
in the past is still in existence.
The Union Pacific , ho claimed , is
but a link In the trnnsportntioii between -
tween the Missouri river nnd Califor
nia nnd not a separate nnd Independ
ent line. In his opinion It never had
occupied the hitter position so fnr aa
through traffic WIIH concerned.
When asked If ho did not believe
thai a railroad which has a large sur
plus , and Is paying 10 per ccnl divi
dends Is nol in a posilion to favor tha
public with lower rates thnn it hns
In effect nt the present time. Mr.
Slubbs , with considerable feeling ,
said thai if Iho Union Pacific was Ihc
road under consldernllon ho would
urge Iho members of Ihc inlcrslntc
commerce commission nnd their at
torneys to remember thai while the
Union Pnclflc mny bo prosperous now.
Its slockholdcrs had experienced many
"lean yenrs" nnd thnt there wns no
human gunrnnlee lhal Ihe prosenl sal-
Isfactory conditions In rnllrond tralilc
throughout the country would be In
definitely maintained.
Upon the subject of competition Mr.
Stubbs declared It wns not possible
for this to be done , no mntler who
owned the pnrellel lines under consid
eration. Subordinates , with reputa
tions to make or to sustain , would
work for the interests of their lines
against all other lines and competl
tlon must therefore ivvltnbly follow ,
Ho nsserted thnt James J. Hill , while
probably the leading railroad man In
the country , could not abolish compe
tition between the Northern Pacific
and the Grcnl Northern because of tha
personal splrll of Ihc men ho em
ploys. "If Mr. Hill lakes lhal spirit
oul of his men , " said Mr. Slubbs , with
much emphasis , "he might as wel
hand the mnnngement of his railroads
over lo n $100 clerk. "
Mr. Hnnnnford expressed slmilai
views regnrdlng competition.
