WASHINGTON, June 4.-The senate
pissed the administration railroad bill at
B:Vi o'clock last night. It had been under con
sideration for more than twelve weeks and
practically no other business except appro
priation bills was considered In that long
period. Only twelve votes all of those by
democrats were recorded against the bill.
The practical unanimity with which the
measure was passed was due to the radical
changes midc In tho measure from the form
in which It was drafted by Attorney Gen
eral Wlckeriham following numerous con
ferences at the White Hou-e on the sub
jfc'dt of Amending Imerstaie'commefce laws."
All of the "Insurgents" who opposed many
features of the original bill voted for It
tbnlght.
Through the elimination of pooling and
merger sections and by reason of the adop
tion of many amendments In the Interest
of shippers, the progressive republicans
dlelmed to have won a signal victory, and
most of the democrats expressed themselves
as favorable to the large portion of the
measure.
1 Had It not been for the retention of the
sections to create a court of commerce it is
likely that the vote for the bill would have
been ' unanimous. Debate ceased' at t:W
o'clock, when .Senator Elkins, c'.ialrman of
interstate commerce committee, moved
& take up the bill that was passed by the
house and, after striking out the body of
that measure, to substitute the matter
agreed upon by the senate. In that form
the bill , was voted upon, with the result
tjiat it was passed by a votj)f 60 to 12.
It epuhltrnns Vote Solid.
No republican voted against the bill and
six democrats voted for it. They were
' Mrssro. Chamberlain. Clay, tlore. Payntcr,
Simmons and Stone. The democrats
recorded against It were Messrs. Bacon,
Fletcher, Fraxler, Hughes, Money, New
lar.ds, Percy, Puicell. . Itayncr, Shlvely,
Smith of Maryland and Smith of South
Carolina. ,
Just bcfoie the voting began Senator La
KTOlituev unc 01 uio insurgents repunn
Jt.fti leaders, tuvid notice upon the senato
that unless the senate conferees made a J
determined fight for retention of amend
ments procured by progressives and demo-
cintn. It could I ol hops to approve the
Lonrereiice' report.
Speeches in explanation of their votes
wore made by Senators Bacon, La Follette,
Dolllvcr, Payntcr, Clav, Simmons and
Gore i and brief remark were made by
others. s
The new law will taUe effect sixty days
from 11)4 duto approved by tho president,
Important Points.
The "tilth spot." in the railroad bill as
It putted (lie senate may bo described as
follow: ,
The bill provides for the creation of a
, new "court of commerce" for the con
nilvi ntlon exclusively of appeals from
a orders of the Interstate Commerce com-
n Ihslon. The court is to consist of five
Judge!), to sit in Washington. Their powers
mo to be co-ordinal with the Judges of the
federal circuit court, to receive the same
puy and emolument and are to be ap
pointed la the first Instance by the presi
dent for term respectively of one, two,
tluce. four and five years. Each as lit
- letlrea to take up the work of a circuit
luOge, la 'to be succeeded by a designation
from the circuit bench, there and other
acaucies to be filled by appointment by
the chief justice of th-j supreme couit
Although the offices of the court are .to
be in Washington and regular sessions are
to be held here, provision is made fur U
ting anywhere In the United Stales. The
government, rather than the Interstate
Commerce commission. Is made the defend
ant In all cases coming before the court,
but the commission Is permitted to Intcr
vsS ' olner Interested parties. The
eT.ense w P'ced under .the direction of
the attorney general, but the commit-
alon and interested parties are permitted to
have counsel and to ca.ry on the suit in
case of the failure of the attorney general
i.i do so. Appeal may be taken to the
supreme court.
The long and short haul provision of the
present Interstate commerce law would be
ntuended so ae to permit A greater charge
lor a short haul than for a long haul, only
with the consent of the Interstate Com
merce commission. Kspeclally a provision
la mV against the fixing of a lower rate

furnish written statements of rates from
one place, to another upon the written ap
plication of a shipper, under a penalty of
1260 for 1 misstatement or for failure to
comply with such application. In addition,
the shippers could bring suit for additional
damages.
Either upon complaint or upon Its own
Initiative, the commission Is authorised to
determine the reasonableness of Individual
or Joint tales or classifications, and If such
rates are found unreasonable, discrimina
tory, preferential or prejudicial, the com-:
mission is authorised to determine and pre-.,
scribe a proper maximum rate.
Restoration of Rates.
Rates reduced to meet water competition
must not be restored unless after a hear
ing by the commission to determine whether
conditions nave cnangea otherwise than by
the elimination of the water competition.
Unless set aside by a competent court,
orders of the commission are to continue in
force for two years.
The commission Is also given authority to
Investigate the propriety of any new rate,
regulation pr classification, individual -or
Joint of any common carrier, and pend
ing such hearing a suspension for ten
months of the rate, classification or regu
lation is provided for. The carrier is re-,
quired to refund all charges found to be
excessive.
Authority also Is given the commission to
establish through routes and joint classifi
cation and to prescribe maximum rates over
them, whenever the carriers themselves
neglect to do so. This regulation also cov
ers water lines which are connecting car
riers. Shippers are given the rijrht to designate
a through route or part of a route over
which their property shall be carried.
A penalty of 15,000 Is Imposed upon car
riers for disclosing any Information con
cerning shipments. . A like penalty la pro
vided for violation of orders under section
15 of the existing interstate commerce law,
and in this case each day that the violation
contnues Is to be construed as a separate
offense.
At Intervals of six months the commission
Is required to make an analysis of the tariff
and classifications, and to Investigate the
advisability of a uniform classification.
Wire Supervision.
Telegraph and telephone lines are placed
under the jurisdiction of the Interstate
Commerce commission. The commission Is
authorised to determine the reasonableness
of rates and a penalty Is Imposed of from
passes for the transmission of messages.
Special night and - press report rates are
authorised. -
The only provision In the bill applicable
to other than railroad corporations is one
regulating Injunctions by the federal courts
which suspend the operation of state laws.
t is provided that such action shall be
taken only when presented to a Justice of
the pesce or a circuit judge and heard by
three Judges, one of whom shall be a su
preme court justice or a circuit court
udge.
Senator La Follette presented a large
number of amendments to the bill during
the day, the most Important of which pro
vided that no persou Interested In a rail-
oad company shall be uppolnted to mem
bership of the proposed court of commerce
and substituting the supreme court as a
body for the chief justice In performing
the duty of designating circuit court Judges
for service on the bench of the commerce
court. Both amendments were lost. Lhe
former by a vote of 3) to 32, and the latter,
IS to 39.
t rttlclmu l tharp.
Both amendments aroused sharp criticism.
Speaking of the- provision supplanting the
chief Justice, Mr. Carter dcclaied that the
reflection of that office was such that John I
Jay and John Marshall might well turn in
their graves, "it they could be made aware
of the suggestion."
Mr. La Follette also presented an amend
ment providing for the fuller equipment of
tho Interstate Commerce commission, with
mo ena in view ox providing the means
for the transaction of the Increased busl
ness which will result. Ills amendment
contemplated the creation of four districts,
each to be presided over by a commission
of three men, with salaries of 11,000 each.
The amendment was only briefly debated.
and was voted down without a roll call.
Seeking to prohibit the continuous service
of train employes for more than fourteen
hours, Mr. La Follette presented an amend
ment, which was defeated by a vote of
twenty-four to thirty-one.
Mr. Newlam proposed an amendment
li.sli tiding tl.o Interstate Commerce com
mission to investigate the corporate hold
ings Qf railroad slocks. Finally Mr. KJk
Ins took ft seat on the side of the speaker
and Mr. Alurlcu va the other and buteeched
him not to delay a vole. The senate re
jected the provision and roll call was re
fused. Mr. Newlands then olfered an
amendment practically the same aa before.
It was laid on the table. An amehdmeut

killed i.i the line of service was accepted
without division.
La Follette Amendment Loat.
At 8:20 p. m. the bill having been per
fected in the committee of the whole was
reported to the senate. Mr. Bacon moved
to strike out the section for the establish
ment of a court of commerce and argued to
the senate that the mehod prescribed for
designating the membership of the pro
posed court would be unconstitutional
OB
uTt
the ground that it would deprive clrcu
Judges, who rre selected to serve for five
years on the court, of their life tenures In
the offices to which th?y were originally
appointed. The motion was rejected, twenty-five
to thirty-eight. Mr. La Follette of
fered his amendment io provide for the
ascertainment of the physical valuation of
railroad property. It was rejected by a
vote of twenty-four to thirty-two.
Mr. La Follette then presented a cre
fully prepared analysis of the original bill.
He undertook to show what the original
bill as "drafted by the attorney general
and recommended by the president," had
done "for the public," and "for the rail
roads." and also to outline the Improve
ments madein the senate "In the public
interest" ''
As against four public benefits con
ferred by the original measure, he enumer
ated twelve benefits which he said had
been bestowed upon the railroads. In the
first section he included the control of
clarifications, the authority to establish
tl rough rates, the requirement of written
statements of rates and the authority
given to suspend new rates.
The provisions which Mr. La Follette
placed in the interests of railroads are
those which have received attention
throughout the debate and Included the
capitalisation, merger and traffic agree
ment provisions, which have been elimin
ated. He outlined the modifications and
changes which have been made during the
progress of the bill, us Mr. La Follette
said, "by the progressive republicans and
democrats against the combined opposition
of the administration and the railroads." '
Mr. La Follette closed by giving notice
that the conferees must keep faith with
the senate in the matter of important
amendments engrafted on the bill if they
expect tho conference report to be ap
proved. He referred to a remark made by
Senator Aldrlch a fortnight ago in debate
in the long and short haul clause, that
"he who laughs' laxt, laughs best," aa
signifying that the conferees - might be
ready to drop some Important features of
tue bill.

DETROIT, June 4. After having spent
most of the day at Ada, O., where lie ad
dressed the graduation class of the Ohio
Northern university, the president was the
guest of honor at a banquet at the Board
of Commerce last night. The president took
up the subject of the conservation of nat
ural resources as the theme of his ad
dress. "We," he began, and then hesitated.
"That is wrong," he added, smilingly, "for
I have not yet had a chance to exercise
my constitutional function.
"I thouid -Vi 'they' are doing a number
of things in congress, and I hope they will
do something final before the summer ts
ended. I can't discuss tonight all they are
doing, but will ay something about con
servation. "I am glad to announce to you that I
have Just learned that the railroad bill
has pafcsed the senate.",
This was Interrupted by an outburst of
applause.
"With that Important legislation out of
the vvuy 1 hope the senate will find a way
to take up at an early date the conserva
tion measures."
The president said he hoped, first of all
for 4 law definitely ratifying the right of
the executive to withdraw power sites and
various classes of public land from public
entry under tho homestead law, pending
legislation lor ineir aisposuion under va-
rioua restrictions which lie has already out

PEORIA, III., June 4. Details of how
legislation affecting the fishing Interests of
the state was fought in the state legisla
ture was given to State's Attorney Burke
of Sangamon county tonight by Henry
Lemm, a fish dealer of Pekln. Other fish
dealers were named and Burke also has
learned, it Is said, the name of a democratic
n. ember of the legislature who "went
south" with the entire fund contributed for
use In the last session.
Lemm said there had not been a session
of the general assembly In which the fish
dealers had not "put up" money to fight
legislation opposed to their Interests. He
said that the last session, however, cost
them the most. In the Forty-fifth general
assembly, he said, he was required to con
tribute but 100 and it cost him 1300 for the
Forty-sixth session. In his confession
Lemm said that until the death of Captain
Schulte of Havana last year, Schulte was
the collector of the fund paid the legisla
tors, but that he had been succeeded by
John Dixon, fish dealer, of Peoria. ,
Lemm ,ald that while the fish bill waa
on first reading In the legislature he went
to Hot Springs for his health. This was
May 29, 1909, and before he left Lemm said
that he told Dixon to do what he could to
defeat the bill and that he would stand hie
share of the expense.
Money Paid by I berk.
The money paid by Lord for Lemm waa
through a check on Oeorge Herget & Sons'
bank of Pekln. It was endorsed in blank
and made but to Henry Lemm and signed
by Lemm and R. O. Lord. The date of the
check was May 17, and the same date Lord
wrote to Lemm telling him o the transac
tion. Before the state's attorney left Lemm
promised to tell a complete story to the
grand jury at Springfield when he appeared
tomorrow morning. This was after he had
been assured by Mr. Burke that the grand
Jury waa not after the men who had con
tributed for the defeat of legislation but
that the Investigators were after the legis
lators to whom the money had been paid.
Acting on Information given by Lemm,
Burke sent a deputy sheriff to the Lemm
fish warehouse and after prolonged search
with a lantern the check for $300, to which
the Lord letter referred, was found. The
names of a number of other fixhmen who
are alleged to be Implicated In the contribu
tions to the funds to defeat fish legislation
were given to Mr. Burke and more subpoe
naes are to be ,-sued.
SPRINGFIELD, 111., June 3 Secretary of
State Rose today received the resignation

Forty-second district from the legislature.
Dead Man Blamed
For Sugar Frauds .
By Underweights
Late H. 0. Havemeyer Given
. ( Responsibility for Conduct of
Company's Business.'-.
NEW TORK, June 4.-Testimony which
led direct to the grave of Henry O. Have,
meyer, late head of the American Sugar
Refining company, was given on the wit
ness stand today by Charles R. Helke,
secretary of the company, who Is charged
with conspiring to defraud the government
on underweights of sugar.
Heike'a defense opened today and his
counsel tried to shift all responsibility for
the conduct of the company's affairs upon
Its late president. Hitherto in the defense
of Ernest W. Oerbracht, superintendent of
the company's Williamsburg (Brooklyn) re
finery, and Jamea F. Bendernagel, former
cashier, who are also on trial, only hints
were made in Havemeyer'a direction, but
Heike'a story put the responsibility up to
his dead chief, direct.
George 8. Graham, who made the opening
address for Heike, said he regretted bring
ing discredit to a man now dead, but cir
cumstances of the case demanded it. Heike,
he said, was at a period of life when a
prison sentence, even if short, would mean
life term."
On taking' the responsibility Heike im
mediately put the responsibility for prac
tically all his acta up to Havemeyer, say
ing the latter had been in direct control
of the Williamsburg refinery. Time and
again, In explaining his business dealings,
he declared he had acted "at the direction
of Mr. Havemeyer."
It waa also brought out through a letter
written by Havemeyer to Gerbracht that
Helke had called Havemeyer'a attention to
the "liability" of the government sugar
weighers. He denied any knowledge of the
tricky scales on the docks, and said he
did not even know the company had scales
there, but thpught they belonged to the
government.

In Canada In the future. Eaton & Co.,
secured a dozen 1910 Chalmers cars. Those
were bought by members of the company
only. The result of this experiment was
so satisfactory that the Katons have given
up the agency for one of the best known
American cars in the S4.000 class and will,
hereafter, handle Chalmers cars ex
clusively. Eaton & Co. now have in construction
a five-story automobile sales building In
Toronto. The automobile branch of the
business will be conducted entirely inde
pendently of the Eaton department stores.
Mr. T. Cotchlng, manager of Eaton's
automobile business, has been visiting the
plant of the Chalmers Motor company this
week, making arrangements for Kill cars.
'.'EatoT & Co. are very consorvatlve."
said Mr. Cotchlng, "they believe that the
great future of the automobile Industry
centers about the medium priced car. but
they would nut take the agencv for such
car until It had been personally tried
out by the officials of the company. Not
one of the 110 Chalmers cars which we
secured went outside of the company. Now
each one of lhe officers who secured one
of these cars is a Chalmers enthusiast.
That the experiment was highly satisfac
tory to us is proved by the fact that we
have asked for a large allotment of 1911
Chalmers cars for Canadian distribution.
