"The Lord above and Steve Elklns alone know how long the railroad rate inquiries will continue," said Senator Clapp, when asked to the prospect of an early wlndup of the hearings before the senate Interstate commerce committee. "The Lord is not a member of the committee and Steve El klns wsn't tell. The present Indications are that tha sessions of the committee will centime until the weather becomes too warm to hold us here any longer." The committee sits for Ave hours each day and the stenographers are busy with their notea until far Into tha night. The testimony promises to add several tons of "Utefature" to the publications which encumber the shelves of the publlo libraries throughout the country and the executive offices here. These exhaustive hearings serve one pur pose In any event. Few people ever con sult tha volumes, but the employes of the government printing office are always de lighted when congress authorises them be cause it means continuous work for the printers during the dull months of the summer and no "furloughs." An idea ol! the uselessness of the labor and expense of reporting and publishing these books can be gained from the fact that tha deal era in second hand books offer the hand some sum of II for the nineteen volumes of the report of tha Industrial commission. The report comprises nineteen volumes, averaging 600 pagea eaoh. Shlppera Object to Regulation. The present hearing has developed the tact that many shippers as well as the railroad managers themselves prefer that the companlea rather than the Interstate Commerce commission make the rates.. But the strangest outcome thus far is a com munlcatlon from Atlanta, Ga. It seems that the Georgia railroad commission re cently proposed to reduce the passenger, rate In Georgia from 8 to 2 cents per mile. This proposition brought an Immediate pro test from the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, the Order ot Railway Con ductors and unions of tha blacksmiths, machinists and telegraphers, bollermakers, railway trainmen, carpenters and Joiners, clerks and car men. These organizations employed an attorney especially to repre sent them, who urged that such a reduc tion would work against the prosperity of the state and lead to a reduction in the number of railroad employes aa well as of their wages. Tha Travelers' Protective aa. r elation also protested that a reduction as proposed would result in fewer trains and poorer service. Tha railroad rate regulating proposition and relative legislation promises to occupy more time in both houses of congress next winter than any other subject. Already it Is known that no leas' than twenty-five bills are in course of preparation and there may be double that number ready to drop Into the box on the first day of the next ses sion. Bidders Content with Less. Jamea Knox Taylor, supervising arch! tect of the treasury, under whose Jurisdic tion coma all the public buildings of the United Btates, expresses great surprise over the fact that bidders for publlo work demonstrate a tendency to accept smaller profits each year. "In spite of tha well known fact," said Mr. Taylor today, "that all grades of building material have risen in price within the past few years, and not. withstanding the tendency to pay higher wages to all grades of skilled artisans, es pecially those in the building trades, the tendency of prices for the government work has been decidedly downward during the past few years. That is to say," continued Mr. Taylor, "that a building which coat the government 1100,000 six or seven yeara ago can be duplicated today at a consider able saving. The reason for this strange state of affairs no one can explain, except it be that machinery is entering more and more into the manufacture of bulldlug ma. terial." Wanted, a Good Mna. . Ona ot tha president's first Important duties when he reaches Washington will be the selection of a purchasing agent for the Panama Canal commission. At the present time this place la occupied by Major Gallagher, an army officer of tha highest standing. Major Gallagher, bow. ever, was educated at West Point and perhaps over-careful In hla movements. In any event he is to be segregated from tha commission and a civilian iii to be ap pointed to the place. Aa stated in these dispatches a few days ago the president la determined to secure the services of the best available man for this Important place. Naturally be looks to the railroads to supply the man. In this ha has tha hearty acquiescence not only of Chairman Shonts of the Panama Canal commission! himself a railroad man of high standing, but also ot Colonel Clarence R. Edwards, chief of tha bureau of Insular affairs, than whom there is no more competent man in the service of the United States today Colonel Edwards realizes that a man who haa had vast experience as the purchaser of supplies for a great railroad corporation Is Infinitely better qualified to fill a like position for the government than a man trained at West Point, with only a cur sory knowledge of commercial affairs, could possibly ba Inasmuch as the president has tha power to fix the salary of such an officer ha will be able to make an attractive proposition to a suitable man, which is unusual In governmental afraira. It has frequently been .noted that the most Important po sitions under the government are the poor est paid. A man for instance, who occupies tha position of comptroller of tha currency at 16,000 per annum for a year or two haa no difficulty In obtaining a connection with a bank or a truat company at from 10,000 to $60,000 per annum when hla term expiree. In fact, there la not a man living today who haa held an Important position in tha Treasury department who la not receiving at least double tha salary . from a private corporation that ho waa paid for hla serv ices to tha federal government. There are a score of available men for this particular position whose aervicea may ba aecured if the salary Induosment offered is high enough. It seems more certain than aver that the place will be offered to Colonel Joseph P. Minetree, purchasing agent of tha Southern railway, but tha friends ot that gentleman assert most post lively that the colonel will never desert tha Southern railway, which he bas served letter written by him to Edward A. Woods, manager of the society at Pittsburg, in which he asserts that the surplus of the society Is held for the exoluslve benefit of itn policyholders, and not the holders of the stock.

PASSENGER SHIP GOES DOWN Crew and All hot One of the Pas sengers Landed la Safety. VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass.. May 7.-The Joy line steamer Aransas, Captain Rood, waa sunk In collision wlMi the barge Glen- dower one and one-half miles southeast of the Pollock rip shoals lightship at 1:30 ths morning. One life waa lot, that of Mamie Kelly, a passenger for; New York from Boston whose address 'la unknown. She was about 26 years of age. The other passengers,- of whom there were thirty-six, together with the crew, were brought here by a tug and landed at midnight. The collision was due to fog. There was no wind stirring. The Glen- dower, one of a tow of three barges, struck the Aransas fairly amldshlp on the star board side and the steamer went down fif teen minutes later. Tho passengers were quickly awakened and the boats manned. but while all on board were going over the side the tug which had the barges In tow came alongside and took; all off with tha exception of Miss Kelly. Mate Crocker said he helped Mia Kelly over the side and when last seen she;was the United States, and that knowledge la now reflected in the confidence with which the members of the railway taxing body view the contention that the value ot a rail way, tangible property and franchise, can best be determined by considering It from half down the ladder. (Continued ou Second Page.) sentatlons. This l not merely my the point of vlpw of the market value and understanding and opinion, but Is con- thB arni-J kbraottv d by Mr. Van Clse, who, as you know, arnjn" , pa,"y' . . ... pressly provides that all other property shall be assessed at lta market value. This rule Is rigidly enforced on assessors by the board and the attorney general, and there Is no reason, It Is said, why the railways should be exempted from such a rule, especially in view of the contention that the corporate properties are In reality units, susceptible only of valuation as such. Governor Mickey and Treasurer Mortensen are now- taking the lead In adopting the theory that they are really units, and as such property assessable on the market value, which they are seeking to determine from the New York quotations. In these computations the weekly reports of Dunn and other financial agencies will be con sulted. This is the first time that the tax ing body has ever frankly resorted to sucb data as an aid to the assessment. Much is anticipated from the influence of the governor. He is taking the lead in the Investigations and the completed work of the board will embody much of hla atudy. It Is known that he Is particularly dl pleased with the attitude of the railways which brought the suits in an effort to deter tho board from making a fair as sessment this year. He is In thorough sym pathy with the efforts of the attorney gen eral and believes that the court of last re sort will sustain the work done by the board last year. Trip to Drum I'p Trade. A trade excursion of Lincoln business men will start on May IS for a five days' tour of the country south of the Platte river. Ninety towns will be visited.

The projectors of the, trip are con fident that they will score a success. It 1 estimated that 200 business men will take the trip. Rock Island Steals a March. Hereafter the staid old Methodist town of University Place will echo to the sound of the locomotive whistle, for at an early hour this morning a gang ot workmen which had been tolling during the night. drove the lost spike In a two-mile spur which connects the place with the main line of the Rock Island railway, i Long ifter dark when the farmers had retired tha men were quietly unloading at a place on the line about two miles from tha town and the ties and rails were rapidly laid. In this manor the danger .of lnjuno tlon proceedings and endless litigation were avoided, and a march was stolen on the representatives of rival roads and the citizens of the town, who had long prided themselves on the absence of railway and the alleged freedom from the rough element which was claimed to go with such immunity. The work was com pleted In such a hurry that none of tha law officers knew, what was going on, so that there was no opportunity to Invoke the statute against Sunday labor. . Now that one road has effected an entrance Into tha town, It is claimed that the Burlington and Missouri Pacific will be obliged to follow the same tactics in order to secure a share of the business. Ever since its foundation In the '80s University Place has secured its supplies from Lincoln and most ot Its citizens were regular patrons of the Lincoln stores, using the street railway in going back and forth and aa the place grew the desire for a place on a railway tlmecard vanished. It now has a population of 3.000 or 4,000 people, many of whom have business Interests In Lincoln and reside In the pleasant suburb. Typhoid Fever from Milk.

May 7.-This week will either bring an end to the teamsters' strike in Chicago or else one of the worst industrial upheavals in the history of the city. The present trouble, which has lasted for two weeks, has reached a point where the busi ness men Involved in the difficulty appear to have gained a decided advantage, and tha teamsters appear now to be in a posi tion where they must either yield or decide to extend the strike by calling out thou sands of other workmen engaged in affili ated uniona. This the strike leaders up to the present time have refrained from doing. while on the other hand the business men today made preparations which. If carried out successfully tomorrow, would indicate that the teamsters will be compelled to surrender or call on the other unions for assistance. The Chicago Federation of Labor, tha central body for all the unions In the city, met today, but took no action looking to an extension of the trouble. A great deal of Incendiary talk was Indulged In, but noth ing definite, with the exception of the pass ing of resolutions charging the Employers' association with conspiracy and asking that the state'a attorney start an Investigation of their business methods, was decided upon. Start Thousand Wunrona. Commencing tomorrow morning tha busi ness men will Increase their efforts to bring the strikers to terms. Arrangements have been made by every house Involved in the trouble to at least double their force ot nonunion men' during the day. Tonight It was said that all preparations had been made to start out 1.000 wagons manned by nonunion men. Each of these wagons will be guarded by deputy sheriffs or policemen, and each one of these men haa received ex plicit instructions from their superior offi- ' cers to prevent disturbances of any kind whatever In the streets, such as were wit nessed last week. Instructions of each ot the deputy sheriffs and each of the police men Is to use every peaceable means in their power to quiet the rioters, but if this means proves unsuccessful to use their ra . volvera and use them to kill. , It ia not believed thathe runxdlrf tR the wagons, a U' be called t' trenuoiia iirasirr. to. 6rtT Shovfera la i of merchandise y Cl. t?n of ffe as the r strikers and thalri,...,..i...' ' yesterday showed little Inclination tCiClusB with the deputy sheriffs or the policemen, y or Today the seven express companies made deliveries in all parts of tha city. Eaoh of the wagons carried two armed guards and In not a single instance, it waa asserted tonight, had any of the wagons met with opposition. During the meeting of the Federation ot Labor several of these wagons passed and repassed unmolested In plain view of the labor men attending the meeting. Replenish Coal Supply, During the day several of the flrme in volved In the strike sucoeeded In replenish ing their coal supply, which In many cases had dwindled down to nearly nothlni:. Al) these coal wagons were driven' by non union teamsters, but no opposition waa met with on the part of strikers and their friends. This waa rather an agreeable sur prise to the employers, who had anticipated trouble, .and is pointed out by them as aa indication that the strikers are losing heart and are about ready to surrender. "Who would have thought last week, when the atreeta were full of rioters," said Mark Morton, president of the Employers' Teaming company, "that coal could be de livered in the downtown district while this strike Is on without precipitating a fight. Fifteen of our wagona were engaged all day today In this work and not the slightest objection was offered by the strlkera or their friends. We had expected trouble and had prepared ourselves for it and the attitude ot tha strikers waa a complete surprise to us. Of course we are pleased that they have at last taken this view of the matter and we sincerely believe that It presages victory for our side, for if the strikers Intended to continue the struggle ' any length ot time they would certainly never allow the boycotted firms to secure coal without offering some sort of opposi tion." The Employers' association, through Its chief counsel. Levy Mayer, announced to night that it would do everyiil.g In Its power to assist the comp-Jttee appointed yesterday by Mayor Dunne to Investigate the causes of the strike. Charges of con spiracy by both sides was the reason given by Mayor Dunne for tho appointment of the investigating committee. President Shea of the Teamsters' union also said that the unions would be found ready to assist tha mayor'a committee in every manner possi ble to bring to light all the facts concern ing the difficulty. Get Back at Banks. The Chicago Federation of Labor today at its regular meeting decided on two measures touching the teamsters' struggle against the employers. One Is to withdraw labor union funds from the banks which subscribed to the (60,000 fund to aid the employers, and to urge the individual mem bers to do likewise. The other la to attempt to secure the indictment ot the Employers' association on a charge of conspiracy against certain team ownera. Levy Mayer, chief counsel for tha Em ployers' association, and Charles S. Darrow, the chief legal adviser of Mayor Dunne, had a long conference tonight, the nature of which was guarded carefully, but whlcli waa believed to pertain to plana for a set tlement of the strike. Neither of tha par ticipants would speak of the matters that were under consideration, but Mr. Darrow at tho close of the Interview said that aa a close friend of organized labor ha waa anxious to have peace brought about and was willing to do all In his power to bring' about a settlement. Tha peace committee of the Chicago Team Owners' association will renew Its efforts tomorrow to bring about an adjustment of the strike. This committee will confer with President Shea in the morning and later will meet with a number of the employers.
