Nor' In the a Richards and Comstqck case
did I, receive "any such instruction.
"The court, 'In announcing his sentence,
took' occasion to, state that in his Judg
ment the object and purpose ot the act
against tlip fencing of public lands was to
compel the removal ot fences and not to
punish the offenders; that no moral tui
pttude attached to the offense; that it was
purely a statutory one; that In view of the
fact that counsel for Richards and Com
stock had stated they had already re
moved some of their fences and would take
them all down; that In his judgment the
end which the government sought to
achieve In the prosecution had been ob
tained; that it' was not 'a case calling for
a severe sentence; that the Imprisonment
would, be nominal and he only avked the
vlewa of counsel uplm the' question as to
the amount of the tine. OihiiikcI for de

Washington, nee. i. senator iviu-

"feed at a conference at the White House
last night, participated In by the presi
dent. Senator Dolllver. Secretary Root. At
torney General Moody and Judged S. H.
Cowan of Fort Worth. Texas, that It would
be more effective to have the measure re
ferred to the senate committee on Inter
state commerce Immediately.
Dolllver Hsplntna Measure.
In a statement Senator Dolllver says:
The bin which' I hnve introduced Is In
tended t. correct some of the abuses
which still exist In railroad rates. It Is
not drawn in a spirit of hostility to the
railroad systems ef the country, but In
the Interest of good will between the rail
ways and their patrons.
It provides a public trlbumil. Impartial
in Its attitude, before which the shipper
may present his complaint against an ex
isting rate and the carrier his defense of
the rate, so that controversy arising out
of a disagreement between the two may
not be left without tin effective solution.
The bill avoids conferring upon the com
mission a dispensing power or any au
thority to disturb commercial conditions
where separate markets ore Involved or
competitive ports or miiepenoeni railway i
systems. The Jurisdiction Is confined to
llie carrier cnmpiatneu 01, ami in me case
of a 1oint rale, to the carriers participat
ing therein. The power is given in such
a case to the commission to investigate
the subject fully, hearing all parties and
In caBe the rate complained of or any regu
1 t en in ecting It is found to be In vio
lation of the interstate commerce act to
correct It bv an order requiring the car
rier to fix Its rates with rererence to a
reasonable maximum prescribed by the
commission. . .
Insures Prompt Action.
The bill proceeds on the theory that
such an order of the commission should
go Inn. effect at the end of thirty clay
unless In the meantime It is modllled by a
supplemental order of the commission or
suspended or vacated by order or decree
of the circuit court of the United States,
exercising a Jurisdiction In equity which
will not be limited or in any way abridged
bv an act nf congress. If such an order
of the commission Is found by the curt
to be unfair to the carrier or unjust to the
public; we have the authority of the su
;...., n i,, r Huvlnir lhat It Is the duty
of the supreme court to vacate it. The
bill Is framed on the theory which the su
preme court has repeatedly held to be
sound, that a well constituted commis
sion in better able than the courts to deal
with the question nf railway rates and
with the understanding that no Jurisdic
tion could he conferred umn the courts
to pass Judgment on the order of the com
mission, with a view to modifying its
,eThe" commission Is enlarged to seven
members mid their salaries made nearly
equal to that of a Justice of the supreme
court of the United Stotes.
The bill provides for a thorough nspee
tlon of railway accounts with a view of
bringing to light those Inequalities uhlch
have crept Into the business of transpor
t a lion through the greed of Influential
shippers or through the pressure of com
putltlve conditions.
