Representative cey of Iowa took a
pronouncod position In opposition to the
adjournment of congress for the Christ
mas holidays, declaring that "it is Idiotic
for the house to adjourn and then Jam all
legislation through under whip and spur
during the closing days."
The expression was called out In con
nection with the discussion of a resolu
tion looking to an increase of the enroll
ing force rf the house
Mr. Fitzgerald of New York had Just
concluded a speech la opposition to thd
resolution, in which he had sharply criti
cised the mistakes In appropriation bills
made at the close of the Ust session. Mr.
Lacty declared that owing to the policy
of holding the principal work on the ap
propriation bills until the closing days of
tue session, the enrolling clerks had worked
forty-eight hours In succession, and he
contended that under such circumstances
mistakes were to be expected.
Mr. Clark of Missouri, declared that the
statement made by Mr. Lacey about the
Idiocy pf adjourning at holidays was the
most sensible thing he had said for the '
last twelve years. i
8 peaking of appropriation bills, 'Mr. Clark
said he believed It would be a mise thing

creep Into appropriation bills during the
closing hours of congress would be ellmin

I Mr. Tawney of Minnesota, chairman of
I the committee on appropriations, ssked
Mr. Clurk to specify some of the "Jobs"
, that had gotten Into appropriations during
I the closing hours.
i "Well." replied Mr. Clark, "I will get
' some specific Jobs and bring thm In here
' for the gentleman's edification and I will

as well as In deed. It la not the attorneys
for the government that have instituted
this prosecution. It is the grand Jury, as
much a part of the government as the
Judge here on the bench, the Jurv sitting
here In this box. the officials of the gov
ernment In all Its departments, that has
brought this indictment after a careful
Inquiry Into the facts, and It becomes the
duty of the attorneys for the government
to bring this case to trial. The govern
ment of the United States, through the
Department of Justice, seeks only to ad
minister the fairest justice to rlrh and
poor, high and lowly, alike. Counsel for
the defense htTve sought to influence this
Jury with the belief that this prosecution
of a crime by these defendants Is some
thing of personal malice on the part of
the government attorneys and the Depart
ment of Justice generally through all the
agencies employed In this great under
taking. The government has no Interest
in this case other than the punishment of
the guilty. I have not at any time sought
during this long trial to distort or elab
orate upon any feature of the evidence to
the prejudice of these defendants. The
evidence speaks for Itself. You have heard
It us well as I or the counsel for the de
fense. Coercion Charge Baseless.
"You have been told by each o the coun
sel for the defense, that have preceded me
that the special agents of the government,
were sent out to coerce, threaten and in
tlmldute witnesses. There hus not been the
slightest particle of evidence to substantiate
this baseless charge. On the other hand
every witness who told that he had been
visited by a special agent, said all that the
agent aaked him to do waa to te.l the
truth."
Mr. Rush then went Into an elaborate re
View of the evidence, shewing the existence
of the conspiracy charged in the indictment
and the widespread extent of that con
spiracy, reaching from Ellsworth to Alli
ance, Gordon to Merrlam, Cody to Valen
tine, with its tentacles reaching Into Iowa,
and Illinois, invading the soldiers' homes
at Quincy and MUfoid. He dwelt at length
upon the existence of the agreement of con
spiracy as shown by the agents, Richards.
Comstock, Trlplett, Huntington,- Mann and
their lesser agents, and how United States
commissioners were employed to carry out
the completion of the scheme.
The hour for recess having arrived, an ad
Journment wai taken to o'clock Thureday
morning when Mr. Rush will conclude his
argument. The case will be given to the
Jury some time during the forenoon.

MINNEAPOLIS, D'c. 1.-The Interstate
Commerce commission, represented by
Franklin K. Lane and John S. Harlan, ad
journed Its hearing on tue car shortage
In the1 west tonight, to reconvene tomorrow
morning In Chicago. The feuturv of tne j
fiuiTtumii njuay was orougnt lorwaia in
the testimony of I'resldent Howard Killott
of the Northern Pacific, during which Com
missioner Lane and President fclilott had
a lively tut on the subject of reciprocal
demurrage.
President Elliott was unmovable from
his position as opposing reciprocal demur
rage, on the ground It would move freight
faster. He said 'the railroads collected de
murrage for the purpose of facilitating
freight
President James J. Hill of the Great
Northern, took the stand lute In the after
noon. As a witness James J. Hill proved
a disappointment. To be sure, Mr. Hill
came to the hearing fortified with a mass
of figures to prove that conditions outside
the control of the railroads were alone
responsible for delay In traffic.
Sew Lines Building.
"We are to build a line from Aneta, N. D.,
to Devil s Lake, N. D.," began Mr. Hill.
"This would mean practically an alternate
line to the Twin Cities. We are also build
ing a double track line from Devil's Lake
to Rugby, N. D. This would mean a great
diversion of the traffic In that section, but
owing to the inability to secure labor we
could not complete either of these con
structions this year. They will be con
structed by next spring. We are within
twelve miles of Devil's Lake, but could
not complete the work for this fall's crop.
There Is no place In the United States
where the growth has been ss rapid as
along the line of the Great Northern. The
Improvement is tremendous and presents a
problem of vast magnitude to the railroads.
The tonnage mile has increased from
606,000 In Wi, to 1,093,000 tons In 1903, and
almost doubled since then to the present
time. I have left a sick room to come here
and give these facts. They are records
taken from the books of the company, and I
beg the commissioners to investigate deeply
Into this question."
'What do you think of J. W. Mldgeley's
scheme for an equal exchange of cars be
tween roads, or the penalty of a fine for
each car over an equal exchange in the
service of a company?" was asked.
"I don't think there is anything In it.

BT. LOUIS, Dec. 19. -The investigation
by the Interstate Commerce commission
Into the general shortage of freight cars
was resumed today. A number of promi
nent railroad men were subpoenaed to ap
pear as witnesses today.
According to the testimony of railroad
men who testified today, the present famine
In railroad oars la due to the inability of
car manufacturing plants to meet the de
mands of the railroad companies. ,
A. B. Starr, . general superintendent of
freight traffic of the Pennsylvania lines
west of Pittsburg,, said he favored a law
that would require railroads to provide
equipment sufficient to meet Its trafflo
needs.
Mr. Starr testified that there are In op
eration at present In- the United States
1,800,000 freight cars. About 90,000 of these
must be rebuilt every year.
The Pennsylvania railroad owns, he said,
about 12 per cent of the total freight equip
ment In this country.
"The producing capacity of the car fac
tories of the United States," said the wit
ness, "is about 180,000 cars a year.
"To keep up with the country's develop
ment the car plants should be able to
build at least 270,000 cars a year."
General Manager McKeen of the Vandalia
testified that his company had Increased
Its power service SS per cent during the
past five years. A contract now calls for
twenty new locomotives and W0 cars.
W. O. Brackett, chairman of the arbitra
tion committee of the Texas Grain Dealers'
association, offered ,as evidence Tuesday
the statements of many southwestern grain
dealers relative to the delay in getting
cars.
8. H. Cowan, representing the National
Live Stock association and the Cattle
Raisers' association of Texas, read extracts
from Utters to prove that thousands of
head of cattle had been sold at a sacrifice
because cars were not provided.
H. D. Rloheaon, president of the Burling

required an average of five days to get a
car placed at his elevator after It reached
PL Louis and sometimes fifteen days.
