TTTE OMAHA DAILY BEE : SATURDAY , JAXUAttY 27 , 1)00. ! ) HE COVETS KOB1XSOVS SEAT Secretary Porter Want * to Qo to Congress from the Third District. 1113 AMBITION LIK5LY TO BL THWARTED Cornell rnlU Illlclu U n Kmite mill CrlflclMPN ( lie Attitude of Hie Unmlia Mnn'n Alleged \r-vtn- liniicr on Certain LINCOLN , Jan. 26. ( Special. ) Secretary of State Porter In a candldaxu lo succeed Congressman John S. Robinson of the Thirl district , who Is now serving his first term In the lower branch of congress. This Is taken as an explanation of Mr. Porter's nc- tlon In demanding the resignation of Secre taries Laws , Dahlman and EJgcrlon of the Hoard of Transportation. Had the secretary of state pursued the usual course and nub- tnlttcd his proposed resolution to the Trans portation Hoard It would not have reached the ears of Iho public , but by musing Its publication In the popocratlc prcfs lip ha.i accomplished his purpose , whl h was simply to gain notoriety as n foundation f r his campaign for the congressional nomination. H IH the unanimous opinion at the utato hbuso and among poporrntlc potltlc'ans In the city that Mr. Porter haa made a serious mistake nnd that his resolution will bo votad down by the board us noon an It Is read. "Mr. Porter may bo egotl.stlcal enough to believe that by pursuing such tattles IIP can" run Robinson out of bis Job at the end cf his first term , " said a tnan at the state house who stands within the Inner circle ; of the populist atnto central committee , "but If ho does there will have to bo n remarkable change of sentiment. The publication of such a resolution as that Is enough to kilt any man politically. There l.i undoubtedly a strong feeling against Robinson In the Third district nnd It Is quite possible that ho will bo defeated for renomlnatlon , but you can put It down an nil assured fact that our fellows will not nominate a fool. The stand taken by Robinson In voting for Polygamlst Roberts on the preliminary billets has had the effort of arousing considerable opposi tion toward him nnd besides Robinson him self established the ono term precedent when ho defeated Maxwell after ho had served only ono term In congress. " Cornell Crltlel en IlltolieorU. Speaking of the attitude of the World- Herald Auditor Cornell today said : "A paper Is judged where It stands by what It prints. The World-Herald no longer defends Bryan nnd silver. I have no doubt that Hitchcock Is looking forward to the sc-nator- Bhlp , but bo certainly will have nothing to base his candidacy on. The sting of In gratitude , It seems to me , Is the real cause of his attack upon the secretaries of the Board of Transportation. You may call a man a knave or a fool and In this case I would call Mr. Hitchcock n knave , for that Is the most charitable way of looking at It. " Wilbur F. Bryant of Hartln'gton Is au thority for the statement that Leo Hordmnn of Omaha will on February C be appointed clerk of the supreme court and ho himself will bo appointed deputy. Major J.

TO ABEND COMMERCE LAW Representatives of Milling ; and Other Indus tries Bcfora the Senate Oommittea. PRESENT STATUTE IS ALMOST USELESS Stnnilnril Oil nnil Jiiiffnr Trtnt Not Co-Opera I Inir to Secure Any . \nicnilinpnin lleornt KrclKht Classification Cltc.l. WASHINGTON , Jan. 25. The senate com- mlttco on commerce today gave a hearing to representatives of a number of business organizations throughout the country In sup port of the bill to amend the Interstate com merce law. The first statement was made by Frank Barry of Milwaukee. Ho Is secre tary of the National Millers' association and the accredited representative of the National League of Industrial Associations. He con- mended the pending bill , saying that It had bctn framed with a view to doing Justice to bcth the shipper and carrier. Ho condemned the present law , saying that It had become Impotent and valueless and the Interstate Commerce commission was nothing moro than a moot court. In reply to questions * rom Senator Tlll- man Barry said the Standard Oil and Sugar trusts and the largo flouring mills of the northwest and grain elevator Interests were not co-operating In this movement. He had no direct Information on the subject of fa voritism , but he called attention to the recent - cent cbango of freight classification made by the rallroadH , which , ho said , left carload rates on oil practically where they were , while It raised the rate on fractional car load rates from 200 to 300 per cent. It was not difficult to see that this was In the In terest of the Standard Oil company. Barry expressed the opinion that the Minneapolis millers were receiving discriminatory rates from the railroads. Barry also made com plaint of the discrimination by the railroads In favor of wheat for export as against flour for export. Ho thought the discrimination was duo to the fact that many of the rail road men were largo owners In the elevators. In InttTPKt of MlHor * . Augustine Gallagher of St. Louis , commis sioner of the millers' national association , spoke especially of the Interests of the mill ers In the proposed legislation. Ho said that the railroads were not content with con trolling the mines nnd the forests of the country , but that they were now attempt ing to control the ballots of the people along their lines. He contended that the railroad systems of the middle west , so far ns the grain interests are concerned , are practically parceled out by large firms In Chicago and other largo cities. Gallagher , In response to an Inquiry from Chairman Cullom , said ho firmly believed the adoption of the amendment proposed by the National Board of Trade would produce rceults immensely beneficial to the whole people. Ho said that the exportation of wheat from the United States last year was abcut 1-18,000,000 bushels , possibly 60 per cent of which went to the British Isles. The labor cost of producing Hour , he said , was something more than 20c a barrel , and of CCITBO that amount was lost to the labor of this country on the exported wheat. In an swer to a question from Chandler Gallagher said that the National Millers' association nnd the National Board of Trade were favor- aHc to euch legislation as would rcstoro practically an organization similar to the recent Joint Traffic association. Cliniidlcr'N I'olalcil < luery. "You are ha'-e- today , " said Senator Chand- ! ' . "to advocate a' railroad1 trust with $1,100,000,000 capital. Is It'not ' In effect a fact that you propose to organize a gigantic railroad trust which Is. to abolish all com- uatltlon In traffic rates ? " "As a member of the National Millers' as sociation and of the National Board of Trade , I deny that I have any such Inten tion. I do not and they do not advocate anything of the kind , " replied Gallagher. "You understand , I take It , " said Chand ler , "that the great mass of shippers want an organization similar to the old Joint Traffic association ? " "They do , " replied Gallagher. "If the resolution adopted by the National Board of Trade decs not convoy that Idea , I ask this committee to prepare ono that will. " "Well , " said Chandler , "some of us politicians cannot understand why the Na tional Board of Trade and the National Millers' association should dcslro the estab lishment of a railroad trust , the Idea o. which Is to crush railway competition. " "Wo do not want to crush competition , " replied Mr. Gallagher , "and what we ask will not accomplish such an end. " "You want , then , " inquired Senator Allen , "to authorize the railroads to main tain rates without the pooling of the rall- rcads ? " "That's It. " "Well , " said Allen , "that's another name for the same thing. " < ! Ivp HntcN to Wheat Shipper * . E. O. Stannard of St. Louis , a flour man ufacturer , stated that the railroads for years had been giving rates to wheat shippers in discrimination against the Hour manufac turers. "ThUj discrimination IB so great , " ho sajd , "that the British flour manufacturer can rnako Hour from American wheat at least 18 cents n barrel cheaper than the same Hour cculd bo made hero. " In conclusion Mr. Stannard stated that there v.-ns nothing in the proposed amendment - ment which would enable the railroads to consolidate or pool their Interests. E. P. Wilson of Cincinnati , nccretary of the National Association of Manufacture , oald it was essential that the Interstate ecmmerco law bo so amended that the Interstate Commerce commission would have Eonio vitality nnd ho nblo to do something definite. Ho believed t'jat the commission ought to have authority to htep in between the railroads nnd shippers and settle dis putes until the question could he adjudi cated by the courts. Ho did not approve of the Idea of permit ting the Interstate Commerce commission to fix the rates of railroad ? . That would he an Insane notion , In his opinion.
