RELATIONS OF RAILWAYS AND ELEVATORS
Mr, l.aKolletle'a Resolntloa Protldlag
for Investigation of Alleged
II legal Combination
ia Pnasrd.
WASHINGTON. D. C. June 26.-The sen
ate today discussed the conference report
on the railroad rate bill for more than f'jur
hours, but did not dispose of It. U was
made evident, however, that another con
ference will be ordered.
The discussion dealt entirely with the
anti-pass nnd commodity amendments, to
both of which objection waa made on vari
ous grounds. Senator Spooner expressed
the opinion that under the pass provision as
reported, senators and members of the
house of representatives would not he pro
hibited from accepting pa"ses, and other
senators construed part of the provision
fts In the Interest of a discrimination in
passes that could he m;id to take, the place
of rebates. Senators Tillman and Lodge
sharply criticised the change In the com
modity amendment so as to prohibit "rail
roads" and not "common carriers" from
engaging in the production of articles to be
transported by themselves, as In the inter
est of the Standard Oil company. '
Senator IaFollette secured favorable ac
tion on a resolution extending the Inquiry
of the Interstate Commerce commission to
the connection between the elevators of I he
northwest and the Tailroads.
Senator Hopklna took exception to the
conference report on the Niagara Falls In
ternational agreement bill. In that It docs
not provide against the treatment of tne
waters of Iike Michigan as subject to in
ternational agreement. The report was,
however, agreed to.
About 3"0 private pension bills were
ptmsed.
The senate held a night session an.1 at
9:45 p. m. adjourned until 11 o'clock tomor
row morning.
Railroads and Grain Dealers.
The senate today passed Senator 1 Fol
lette's Joint resolution extending the scope
of the Inquiry now being conducted by the
Interstate Commerce commission under the
Tlllman-Glllesple resolution so as to have It I
Include the transportation and storage of
pralns.
In support of hi contentions Senator Ia
Follette said that testimony taken by the
commission indicates a Joint ownership be
tween the railroads and the elevator com
panies to the detriment of the fanners wln
are entitled to a free and open market. He
then gave the names of Individuals and cor
porations which had secured such Inside
privileges as to give them monopolies along
various western railroad lines, the list given
Including the following:
The Chicago, Hock Island & Pacific,
Charles Counsclman; the -Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul, the Armour F.levator
company; the Atchison, Topeka Ac Santa Fe,
the RIchsnJson company: the ITnlon Paclflo.
the Pevey K levator Minpany: the Chicago
at Northwestern, the Bartlott aV Frar.ier
Elevator company; Chicago, Burlington
Qulncy, the Armour Elevator company.
As going to oontlrm his inference of a
combination, Mr. La Follette said that the
head of the Armour Elevator company Is
a laie stockholder and a director of the
Chicago. Milwaukee St. Paul.
He then read a number of letters and
quoted various statements to show that the
railroad companies favor some elevators to
which they are friendly and discriminate
against others which are not so wall re
garded by them, with the result that the
price of wheat to the producer Is far below
where It should be.
Ho declared tha.t practically all the grain
shipped Into Chicago over any one line
goes to one dealer and expresne-d the opin
ion that tViee wholesale dealers are cioevly
allied among themselves, thus constituting
a virtual monopoly of the grain business
of the country. Senator Nelon cuuflrnitKl
the atatttneiila of Mr. I.s.Follette, es-virig
that he had personal knowledge of '.any
instances f discriminations by tlj rail
roads In favor of line elevators JHe had no
doubt. h said, that the h; vrai'.igatlon would
show the same combination between th
railroad companies and the elevator com
panies that had been found to exist be
tween the railroads and the, coal companies.
The resolution was then adopted without
division.
IMMIGRATION

PAftftRD
House Refers ICducatlonal Teat lee
tlon to av gprclal Couimteslon.
WASHINGTON, June 'Jt. L'nder a rule
limiting debate on all but two sections,
the so-called Immigration bill was dis
cussed for three hours today and passed
wltimut a yea and nay vote being per
mitted on any of the paragraphs. This
bill at t muled much attention, the repre
sentatives having large foreign culonles In
their districts, lining up generally against
the head tax of SO. which was defeated, and
against the educational test. After an In
teresting contest a substitute for the edu
cational test providing that the whole mat
ter be submitted to a commission waa
adopted by a close vote. The most Im
portant features of the bill were thus
eliminated and the bill was passed with
out division. At 6:36 p. m. the house took
a recess until I o'clouk this evening to
devote three hours to oratory.
When the Immigration bill was taken
up In the committee of the whole the
amendment to the committee bill reducing
the tax from fi to Li waa debated earneaiiy
liv M. Steeneraon (Minn.), Mr. Gardner
(Mara.), Mr. Bennett N. Y.). Mr. Bart-
holdt iMo.J, and Mr. Burnett (Ala.).
! The recent atrocities In Russia rmultlng
In Uie killing of many Jews, and the inur-
ders at Klshtneff, came In for strong and
I vigorous speeches on the part of Mr. Ut
tauer (N. Y.) and Mr. GoUifogle (N. Y.).
Mr. IJttauar offered the following amend
ment, which waa adopted without dl
: vision:
An Immigrant who proves that he Is
s eking admission to this country solely

diately after the shooting.
The Madison Square roof garden, which
has been closed for several years, wis
crowded tonight with a fashionable audi
ence. While Harry Short, who fills the
principal comedy role In the piece, was
alnglng a ccinic song, and the garden was
echoing with the laughter and appluuse '
the audience, a series of shots rattled in
the rear of the auditorium and a man In
evening dress was seen to fall scross a
table at which he was sitting with a
party of frlenda. The mttn who had fired
the shots fled, pistol In hand, towards the
nearest exit, where he was selxcd and
disarmed by the police. Instantly the great
audience waa thrown Into a panic and a
wild atainpede occurred, during which
chairs and tables were overturned and men
and women fought with desperation to- es
cape from the roof.
Throe Shots Fired.
The first intimated of trouble came when,
walking in front of his seated victim, the
matt exclaimed: "You've desarved this.
You've ruined my home," and drawing an
automatic pistol fired three shots. The
first two look effect, but as the third was
discharged the pistol waa struck up by
a fireman on duty in the theater and the
bullet went skyward. The woman who
had been sitting with Mr. White sprang
to her feet and rushed up to his assailant,
who was struggling with the fireman,
threw her arms about his neck, exclaiming:
"I'll stand by you."
The shooting occurred at 10:30, while
Harry Short waa singing "I Could I.ove
a Million Girls." Thaw had been at the
performance all the evening and had been
noticed to be very nervous and excited.
White had been previously to the Man
hattan club and had only been at the gar
den a few minutes when Thaw confronted
hltn.
Thaw Is Arrested.
Fireman Burden took the revolver away
Xr3m Thaw and handed him over to Po
liceman Dobbs, who placed him under ar
rest. Thaw handed the policeman $10 and
asked him to notify Andrew Carnegie that
he was in trouble. Thaw, It Is alleged,
sxi dto the fireman:
"Diserved what he got. He ruined my
life and deserted the girl."
While he was being held by the policeman
the young woman, who is described as
short, slender, dark and very pretty, again
put her arms about hla neck. Thaw told
her to keep quiet and not get excited,
as all would come out all tight.
Immediately after the shooting the cur
tain was rung down on the play.

STICKNEY RATE TROUBLESOME
Officials of other Roads Will Try to
dace Him to With
draw It.
CHICAGO. June 1'5. (Special Tele
gram.1 A committee of executive officials
of ChicHgo-Missourl lines will call on
President Htlckney of the Great Western
tomorrow snd try to persuade him to with
draw the reduced rate on grain which he
recently put In effect. If they do not
succeed, demoralization In the grain rates
from Iowa Is predicted.
By dropping the elevator charges and
switching the rate is cut from 12 rents
to 10 cents and Mr. Stlckney has cre
ated a situation whereby the grain ship
pers of Iowa from points within seventy
five or 100 miles of the Missouri river
can ship their grain to Kansas City,
Omaha, or other river points for 5 or ti
cents, according to whether It Is coarse,
or fine grain, and then ship It back to
Chicago for from 1 to 2 cents less than the
local rate.
The other western roads have decided
to cease paying elevation charges July 16
at Omaha, and July 29 at Kansas city.
This means that ths rotes from the Mis
souri river will practically he raised 1 V4
cents on these days, provided always
that Mr. Stlckney will withdraw his re
duced rates. Otherwise the other roads
will have to meet the Great Western's cut
and the rates will remain practically wh.it
they now are, that Is 10 cents, being:
the 12-cent rate less the elevation charge.

OBJECT OF HIS MISSION TO NEW YORK
John D. Rockefeller There Placed)
Lnornsoaa Sura nt His Disposal
Beranee He Thought It a
brand Movement.
Judge Benjamin B. Llndsey of the Denver
Juvenile court has pledged nimself 10 le
fuse the as.'UKi.t'iO promised him by John D.
Rockefeller wit 11 which to finance the Na
tional Juvctuie Improvement association.
Ills alternative was to take the money with
the active condemnation of the leader ot
the different charities of the country hav
ing a like aim. Jane Addams of Hull House.
Chicago, negotiated the atrair while she and
Judge Lindsay were in St. Paul to adii.cie
the National Federation of Women's dubs
at the biennial Just closed. This Informa
tion comes from an Omaha woman, tihu
la conversant with the whole matter.
Judge Lindsay's dearest hope la lo create
a national association of Juvenile Improve
ment charities. He has been working u,itd
lecturing along these lines for the last two
years, ,
In January he waa pleased to receive a
letter from the secretary of John D. Rocke
feller Inviting him to visit him In New
York with a view to the financing of his
work. Judge Lindsay went to New York,
lecturing snd being lavishly entertained
on his trip, speaking, with Secretary Taft
to Introduce him, before the school children
of Chicago. The St. Andrews' societies of
the east entertained him and listened to
him; he visited the president and was hon
ored In all the big eastern cities.
During his trip he arranged with the
workers In the different cities to meet at
the National Convention of Charities snd
Corrections nt Philadelphia snd effect a nu
lional association of the children's charities
that should become as universal aa the
Young Men's Christian association.
Promise of Five Million.
Mr. Rockefeller 'was In retirement from
the subpoena server and the negotiations
between them were conducted by the sec
retary of the rich man, who waa empower, d
to promise a first Installment of 6,(sr),'VJ
with as much more, later, as was needed.
Judge Llndsey returned to Denver and
gave the story to the press. Ths leaders
of the organisations with whom he hoped
to federate under on general head, him
self as president aa agreed, quietly dis
cussed the subject of "tainted" money and
the effect on the children for whom they
were endeavoring to set up a high Ideal
of cltlxenshbp.
Judge Lindsay was unable to attend ihe
national convention at Philadelphia aa br.J
hern his Intention, as It came at ths tlm
he was trying the cases growing out of the
lllegnl registration for the May elections.
In Denver, under the law he himself had
framed, and the Honest Election league
was afraid to allow any other Judge to
pass on the Important registration lists.
Judge I Jndsay s friends In the Denver Ju
venile association went to Philadelphia ex
pecting the national federation would be
easily effected aa most of the leaders In the
work hsd already pledged their support.
The federation and the whole matter of
Juvenile Improvement association was laid
on the table. No reason wss given. Judex
IJndsny was bitterly disappointed. He
asked to have a convention of Juvenile
workers called at Chicago. Judge Mack
Issued the call. The convention was to be
held st Hull House, Chicago.
Mlsa Addams Steps la.
In the week previous, when both were
In St. Paul. Jsns Addams told Judge Lind
say that the other workers, herself In
cluded, could not federate with sny saso
elation that was to be financed by John D.
Rockefeller. She said she was sure Judge
Llndbsy would coincide with their views
when put to him. Otherwlss the leaders
must refuse to sttend the meeting tn Chi
cago. It meant an open revolt against Judge
Lindsay in connection with Rockefeller's
money.
"The work of the Juvenile Improvement
association Is too Important for me to
stand In the light of Its being nationalised.
I do not know now where ww ahall get ths
money to do the work of organising and
carrying out the work, but I promts you
I will not accept any money whatever from
Mr. Rockefeller," was Judge Lindsay's re-
P.T.
I Miss Addams tmmedlstely reported his
I rtledna tn her colleagues and the convention
In Chicago waa attended with enthusiasm.
The largest number of Juvenile workers
sver assembled representatives from Aus
tralia, from Sweden, from Japan, South
America, as well aa most of the cities of
the I'nlted States waa present, and an In
ternatlonal Juvenile Improvement aasoota
tion waa formed, with Judge Lindsay as
chairman to draw up the neceasary by-
i laws, constitution and the details for ths
j organization that has the hearty support
j of all the Juvenile workers, while John D.'
j Rockefeller's name wss left In ths silence
j of sn averted disgrace.

Object of the Association.
The object of . the Juvenile association Is
to do away with ths Juvenile court aa It
1 la now. The court takes the child who
j haa gone wrong. Twenty-three states have
I adopted the Juvenile laws that ars as nesr
j as circumstances will permit the counter
part cf the Colorado laws. In studying
the reasons why the children went wrong.
Judge Lindsay worked out the theory that
the fundamertal cause of all the mis
demeanors of children boys snd girls lies
In ths Idleness of the child. For exa- pie.
tne child who lives near the railroad track
Is the one who Is brought Into court with
every session because there la the con
tinual Invitation to 111 in to trespass on
the moving traina and on the freight cars.
Another child that reappears In every
Juvenile court the child of the widow
who trust leave her little ones at home
wbll she la as well the hresd winnner ss
the home msker. It Is said to be Impossi
ble to prevent Iheee l.lldren from coiiili."
