TALKS ON RAILROAD LAWS
J. C. Stabba. Say Government Wilt
Have .Sapport of Every De
cent Railroad Man.
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 1. The directors
of the San Francisco Chamber of Com
merce yesterday gave a lunch to Inter
state Commerce Commissioner Franklin K.
Lane. In an address Mr. Lane said that
William J. Bryan recently told him thnt
eventually th United States would com to
government ownership of railroads. But
thf commissioner gave It as his opinion
that th day would remain far off If the
Interstate Commerce commission had
proper powers and treated all problems In
the spirit of a trial court.
"If railroads will only keep out of poli
tics," said he, 'that practice which brings
them more Into disrepute with the people
than anything else they do, I think, gov
ernment ownership will continue to remain
a long way off."
J. C. Stubbs, speaking for th railroads,
said:
"We can stand any law that may' be
enacted by' congress, provided It be also
enforced against our competitors. There Is
more trouble over the alleged favoritism
shown cities than that shown Individual
cltlsons. Everywhere In the west cities are
trying to be distributing centers and re
ceive th advantage over the cities in
their son. If th commission desires to
sit as a Judge, It will have the support of
shippers and of every decent railroad man
in th United States. And If there be
anything in the way of skill and experience
tn railroading that can be put at their
disposal, it would JxTthelrs without price."

of conflict, saying: :
The antagonism, however latent, is pres
ent In the conscious intuitions of the two
nations! but however strong the competi
tion between the two countries msy be,
racial feelings should not, and I believe
will not, lead to actual armed conflict.
Japan has given evidence of wis and
progressive statesmanship, and ' we cm
hope also for such in the future as we
did In the part. The coat In men and
treHure is growing greater In every suc
ceeding war, and neither Japan nor the
I'nlied States would hastily appt-ttl to
arms when the spirit of 'reason Is begin
ning to rule the world. To do so would
be to belie the renown they have of being
anions" the nwr progressive nations ot
tho globe. And. fortunately, The Hague
tribunal stands ready lo consider In nil
fairness those great questions that tend
to disturb the peace of Ihe world.' I urn
sure that we of America Would consider
ourselves greet and strong enough to sub
mit to this tribunal any dispute not af
fecting our honor, and that Japan would
consent, if not insist, that thle be done.

People Move In Memphis.
MEMPHIS, Tenn.. Feb. 1. Many people
are novlng from thel homes In th nor
thern part of this city as a result of a
break In th protection levee built by the
city of Memphis one year ago. The Ieves
gave way early today and the district north
of Poplar boulevard and west ot Fourth
street U now under two feet ot water. If
the river reaches a stage of forty-one feet,
which today seems probable, a larger area
rear th business portion of the city will
feel the effects of the flood.
Advices from Marlon, Ark., this morn
ing siutes that th levee at Hollybush re
main Intact although a break la expected
at any hour. The water Is lapping the top
of the structure and a large force of men
is engaged In strengthening th weaker
places. Should a crevasse occur at Holly
bush the entire St. Francis bssln In Ar
kansas would receive th rush of waters.
At Helena th main levee remains Intact.
Th northern part of thsjt city Is flooded
from th break in the auxiliary leve which
occurred yesterday and people living In
that section have been housed elsewhere.
A steady rain was recorded In the vicinity
of Memphis lant night. The river this
morning marks W.8 feet, with a rise of
eight-tenths since yesterday

I-aU-r today a small levee protecting the
section between Overton and Concord

mostly negroes, have been removed from
the, flooded section.
The Eeale and Lane avenue car line has
suspended operations Tn th northern part
of the city.
The yards 'of several lumber ctmranles

COUNTY OPTION ; DEFEATED

ob the tiaestloa Fifty to
Thirty-Two.
PIERRE,. 8. D., Feb. l.-(8peclal Tele
gramsCounty local option met Its Water
loo In the house this afternoon by a vote
of 60 to 32, and the supporters of that
measure will not resort to the Initiative
and referendum in the attempt to secure
their desire. It waa a house of contention
for the principal part of the afternoon ses
sion, with the first appeal from the decis
ion of the chair in - which th opponent
to the presiding officer won their point.
Early In the session Foster started hi
fight to go Into committee of the whole on
the anti-pass bill and found th rulings
of the chair against him, finally appealing.
Foster was backed by . Browne, Euuitman
and Prlo of Yankton, who took th posi
tion that they were opposed to gag rule
of the previous question and wanted an
open and free debate. Glass and Van Os
del supported the contention of the
speaker and on roll call Foster carrlel
his appeal by a vote cf 43 to 38. and when
the bill cornea up again, probably tomor
row, it will be In committee of the whole
for dlscusrlon and amendment.
Th county" local otlon bill was sup
ported by Garvin, Carroll, Groce, Larron
and Cable, and opposed by .Van Csdel,
Glass. Ifenhuth Eastman, Browne, Hebel
and F"tr, and the defeat was declslv.
The committee of public health presented
an unfavorable report on the Van Osdel bill
to allow electrical healers to practice In
th state, but the introducer secured an
overturning of the report and his bill re
instated. 'f!:e only railroad bill introduced today
prewvmed negligence on the party of rail
way employes In case of their' killing any
person' live stock.
In the dnit4 flrht boffre th public health
committee to reduce the qualification re
quired under the law waa unfavorably re
ported and the committee will be en
dorsed' In the action.
The seriate pasted the house '. resolution
endorsing the action of th president. In
his fight for railway regulation, and intro
duced a list of bllle, the principal on be
ing to prcvld for the' government of cities
under the "Galveston plan."
The house's action on the anti-pass bill
this afternoon' has started things humming
In th Locke hotel lobby this evening.
That measure Is one of th administration
bills, and the whole power of the adminis
tration, Is being put forth to bring recal
citrants into line on the measure, and th
probabilities are they will succeed, Th
only hope of the opponents of the emerg
ency clause now Is to hold th vo( below
sixty on the roll call, but they do not fel
confident of eve accomplishing that with
the force which la being exerted against
them tonight, and it I likely to g through
