WXiirXGTON. April 14. The senate to
day adopts an amendment to the admini
stration rai'.road bill withholding from the
Interstate Commerce commission authority;
over transportation entirely by water. j
Consideration of the amendment led to a j
discussion regarding the western coast-
wise shipping. Mr. Piles of Washington
Mr. Piles of Washington I
and Mr. Chamberlain of Oregon engaged In !
a colloquy as to whether there was suf- j
ficient competition In that section, the lat
ter contending that It had been suppressed
largely by the railroad shipping lines and
the former declaring that much of the bus
iness was done by steamship lines. i
Mr. Cummins thought the present law
should not be changed. Ha was opposed
to any step looking to a dlmunltton of j
the powers of the Interstate Commerce I
. I
OmmiARlOn.
AaTsrstn ef rkaasr. I
Mr. Lodge and Mr. Bacun advocated the
amendment. The amendment reads:
"Nor shall the commission have the
right to establish any through rate, classi
fication, rate, farfl or charge, when the
transportation la wholly by water."
- Senator Elkina then submitted an amend
ment requiring that traffic agreements
shall be subject to the approval of the In
terstate Commerce commission. Mr. Craw
ford presented a substitute so wordid as
to require the approval of agreements
prior to their taking effect, which It was
contended might not be that effect of the
lkins provision.
The amendments were considered so im
portant that It was decided they should be
printed before proceed lag further. Accord-
Ingly the bill was laid aside and S-nator j
Elklns stated that as the rhrer and harbor

Other Heirs of Late Colonel Swope
Decline to Bear Part of Expense
of Hyde Prosecution.
KANSAS CITT. April I4.-Peaceful re
lations were re-established between Mrs.
Logan O. Swope and tha special counsel
she has employed to assist the state in
prosecuting Dr. B. C. Hyde, when today,
after a wees, of wrangling she agreed to
pay them the fee they demanded. So ser
ious had tha breach become that at one
time the attorneys threatened to withdraw
from the case. The counsel consists of
Jamea A. Reed. John H. Atwood and
Thomas J. Mastln, during the period of
turmoil several heirs to the estate of the
late Colonel Swope made It plain to Mrs.
Swope that they would not share tn the
expense of prosecuting ths accused phy
sician. Two of them were Thomas Swope,
Jr., and Stewart 8. Fleming, nephews of
the dead millionaire. Mrs. Swope then de
cided to meet the expense.
Before Mrs. Swope finally accepted the
figure set by tha attorneys, however,, she
subsnlterd to them a fee that she thought
Just. It was shortly afterward ' that the
lawyers told . her their proposition was
final and declared their In sen ti oris of drop
ping the case unless the fee demanded was
given them.
A peculiar feature of the trial is the
attitude of Stewart S. Fleming, a neftiew
of the late Colonel Swope. and an execu
tor of the estate.. Although Mr. Fleming la
in the city, he baa not been present at tha
hearing. This action la made more signi

him.

WASHINGTON, April 14.-Dlsregardlng
the piras of many of his asoriaies, Senat.ir
Burton of Ohio, chairman of the national
waterways commute, who was chairman
of the river and harbor committee when
he served In the house and who is now a
member of the senate cimmlttee on com
merce, today presented a minority report
on the pending bill which would appro
priate about Sf.2."0.(X for the Improvement
of rivers and harbors.
The character of his opposition, which is
sweeping arraignmnt of piecemeal ap-
Propristlons as well as a condemnation of
I many nainea projects, makes It certain that
j the contest to be waned over the bill will
i be one of the most heated In the history of
tha senate.
The report made by Mr. Burton is de
signed to attract tha attention of the coun
try aa well aa of congress, aa it la said
that if his opposition to a majority of these
great projects should be unsuccessful there
wtll be launched a movement looking to
the veto of the bill by the president.
Mr. Bartow's Report.
In summarising bis report, Mr. Burton
says:
"I am prompted to file this minority re
port, because in my Judgment substantial
reforms should be accomplished in our
river and harbor legislation. This is im
possible without correcting many abuses
whloh are manifest In the opposing bill.
The following are tb most Important rules
which should govern;
"Provision fur the completion of an Im
provement when adopted, save la excep
tional cases.
"A greater degree of discrimination in
the making of appropriations for river and
harbor Improvements; by omitting projects
condemned by the experts who make the
surveys and recommendations; for a care
ful review of pending projects In the light
of present conditions; a must careful con
sideration before the adoptioa . of projects,
with esperiei reference to avoidance ef kwrit
and dam construction, save In streams
which are capable of being made arteries
of commerce; a division of expenses when
