(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, April S--(Special Tele
nr'am.l Assistant Postmaster General
Stewart In hla report to the postmaster gen
eral for the year that ended June 30, 1910.
recommended the establishment of a new
division of the railway mall service to em
brace the atats of Nebraska. Wyoming and
Colorado with certain rontlnuoua llnea In
rdjolnlng states.
"A division ao established." said Mr.
Stewart, "would start with more clerks
than are, now employed In three of the
existing divisions. The aervlce In Ne
braska and Wyoming la at present handled
from headquartera at Chicago and that
In Colorado from headquartera in St. Louis.
These atatea are too far dlatsnt froc cen
ter of supervision for best results. There
fore t recommend that aultable legislation
be aecured for establishment of auch a
division."
Aa a reault of thla recommendation, with
the approval of the poatmaater general and
by him recommended to congress the last
pcatofflce appropriation bill provided for
the creation of auch a division to be es
tablished July J. With a view of se
curing the location of this division at
Omaha a committee from the Commercial
club of Omaha, Vlotor Rosewater, ex
Congressman John 1... Kennedy and P. A.
Brogan, together with Senators Brown and
Hitchcock, Representatives Klnkald, Latta,
Sloan and Lobeck and ax-Congressman
David Mercer and Charles A. Saunders,
were given a hearing today by Assistant
Postmaster General Stewart on the clalma
of Omaha for the location of the new
railway mall division.
Mr. Itnae water Spokesman. .
Mr. Rosewater waa chief apokeaman at
tha hearing and made the principal argu
ment in behalf of, Omaha, telling of Ha
advantages over other cities, Denver, Og
den and Salt Lake City, candidates for
the new division. Attention waa called to
the population of Omaha and towns in
cluded In Douglas county aa compared
with the population of Denver and Denver
county, the population of Omaha and
Kouth Omaha: . tiring ' upwards ot y gg
while that of Denver la 213.000. In all other
respects, however, Denver, which la looked
upon as the most likely candidate for the
lucatloa of tha new division, falta far be
hind Omaha In comparlaona, which Mr.
Rosewater. used moat forcefully. Aa to
population, Nebraska far exceeds tha com
bined population of Colorado and Wyo
ming. .
Mr. Rosewater assumed that the reason
for creating the new district waa, flrat,
to facilitate tha business of tha Poatofflce
department with the railroads, and, aec
and. to bring supervision closer. He said
that the railway mall aervlce waa closely
connected with the operating debarment
of the railroads and that If that waa taken
Into consideration he believed Omaha waa
In better situation than other citlea that
are candidates for the location.
"There Is no mileage," Mr. Koie.vaier
aid, "operated In Nebraska. whiU Wyo
n ing mileage is operated from Denver.
Tha railway mileage operated In Nebraska
la T.107 miles; In Colorado, 4.208 mllos; In
Wyoming. l.VA mllea. The number of full , he said, he waa the head of tha southern
pistoffice car routea from Omaha arajclub of Nanles. which la in r..mv .
seven In number, while from Denver one.
The territory to be Included In this new
division, will bo chiefly created out of the
Sixth and Seventh divisions. Nebraska and
Wyoming would be out of the Sixth and
Colorado taken off of seven.
Py thla agreement the Sixth district
Would Contribute to the new division E7

WASHINGTON. April 3-The "commodi
ties clause" of the Hepburn rate law. In
terpreted two yeers aKo by the supreme
court of the United States, wai given new
life today by that tribunal In a second
Interpretation. . Ho - effective wa the re
consideration of, the subject that govern
ment officials predict the evil will now be
remedied and railroads divorced from the
coal business.-
Chief Justice White announced the de
cision of the court. The entire bench agreed
with 'him. although on the previous con
sideration Justice Harlan dissented.
The chief Justice took the position that
the lower court had erred In refusing to
allow the government to amend Its original
petition.
Mast Not Commingle Affairs.
"While that decision expressly held," said
the chief Justice In referring to the prev
ious holding of the court "that stock own
ership by a railroad company In a bona
fide corporation Irrespective of the extent
of such ownership did not preclude a rail
road company from transporting the com
modity manufactured, mined, produced or
owned by such corporation, nothing in
that conclusion foreclosed the right of the
government to question the power of the
railroad company to transport In the course
of Interstate commerce a commodity manu
factured, mined, owned or produced by a
corporation In which the railroad held
stock and where the power of the railroad
. R mocKnoiaer was used to
obliterate all distinctions between the two
corporations. That is to say. where the
power was exerted In such manner as to
commingle the affairs of both as hv neces
sary effect to make such affairs practically
uiiuiBiinguisnaoie and therefore to . cause
both corporations to be one for all . pur-
' ' Snnimary of necUlon.: ,'
The decision was summed up in these
words:
"It must be held that while the right of
a railroad company as a stockholder to
use Its stock ownership for the purpose of
a bona flda separate administration of tha
afCatrs-of w corporation In whjcli It liaa,
stock Interest, may; not h denied, the use
of such ownership' in such Instances, for
the purpose 'of destroying the entity of a
producing' corporation and 'of commingling
Its effects In administration with thesf
falre of the railroad company , so as, to
make the two' corporations virtually one,
brings the-railroad 'company so voluntarily
acting as 'to such -producing corporation
within the prohibition of the commodities
clause. - '- ,; i-
"In other words, that by operation' and
effeot of the commodities clause, there Is
a duty cast upon a railroad company pur
posing to carry In Interstate commerce a
product of the producing corporation, in
which It has a stock interest, not to abuse
such power so as virtually to do by In
direction that whleh the commodities clause
prohibits, a dut- which plainly would be
violated by the unnecessary commingling
of the affairs of the producing Company
with its own so as to cause them to be
one and Inseparable."
Will Amend Petition.
As a result of the decisions, the lower
court will now allow the government to
amend its petition In the Lehigh Valley
Railroad case. A different situation arises
in regard to the Erie, the Central of New
Jersey and the Pennuylvania.
In these cases the government did not
ask for leave to amend, considering the
I-elilsli Valley suit a test case. It was
asked that the court dismiss the Erie,
Central and Pennsylvania cases without
prejudice, but this was refused and the
circuit court dismissed the cases.
The dismissal was today approved by
the supreme court. Ordinarily this would
preclude the government bringing now
sunn against these railroads Govern
ment officials tonight expressed doubt as
to whether further proceedings could be
taken against the Erie, Central and Penn
sylvania, but an Investigation will be made
with a view to renewing the action against
them if possible.

MORE PEACE TALK AT EL PASO
Arrival of Father and Brother of Ma
dero Starts Rumors.
REFUSE TO MAKE STATEMENTS
Arc Met bx Secretary of Local Junta
aad Conference Begins foarler

mander. '
EL PASO, Tex., April 3. Interest here tn
the Mexican war situation today centers
in Francisco I. Madero, sr., and Alfonso
Mad wo, who arrived m VX paao last n)hU
presumably on a mlsalOnVif peace. '
While 'maintaining -a complete silence
regarding the reason for their presence
Here, the father and brother of. the Insur
recto leader intimated that developmenta
might be expected within the next few
days, and It is believed they are to await
the arrival of messengers upon which he
will consent to a cessation of hostllttes.
That these terms must be formulated by
the men who are In the field was declared
by Alfonso Madero last night.
' That the elder Madero's Influence will be
strongly for peace is the statement of
those who claim to know hla attitude. The
father of the Insurrecto Under, It is said,
ha never given the movement his whole
hearted support and would welcome the
end of the war upon any reasonable terms.
Couriers who left for the Insurrecto chief s
camp near Chihuahua a few days ago are
now believed to have carried messages from
the elder Madero, and' these, it la surmised,
urged the son to make for peace.
Both Befnae to Talk.
To reporters the two Maderoa refused
to make any statements. Asked If he had
come here on a mission of peace, the senior
Madero said: "Perhaps so. I .will tell
you later."
Replying to a question in to when he had
last seen his son, Francisco, he said:
"I have not seen him since he left San
Antonio three months ago or more."
Oonxales Garza, Insurrecto secretary vot
state, met the two Maderoa and accom
panied them to their hotel, where a confer
ence began at once.
For aome time Garxa has been declaring
that he did not believe in the peace rumors.
So far as can be learned, there are no
representatives here of tho federal gov
ernment. The local Insurrecto Junta Is
supposed to be In communication by courier
with Francisco Madero, who Is with the
army near Chihuahua.
In an Interview last night, following the
conference, Alfonso Madero declared he
was unable to make known the object of
their visit to El Paao now, but expected to
be able to give something tomorrow or
Tuesday that will throw light on the'r
visit. He Indicated, however, that fighting
would continue unless demands of the In-

HOW CONGRESS IS DIVIDED
Democrats Have Majority of Sixty
Seven in House.
MANY CHANGES IN THE SENATE
Nine Senators Retire, Many of Whom
Have Lone Hern Prominent In
Vpper Hone Soelallata Have
One Representative.
WASHINGTON, April . The interesting
situation of a democratic house and a
republican senate meeting to consider a
Taft administrative measure, directs un-wu.-U
attention -to The convening of the
Sixty-second congress in extraordinary ses
sion at noon tomorrow. The political com
plexions of the two branches of congress
will be as follows: '
House Demociats. 22R; republicans, 160;
socialist. 1; vacancies. 1 the Ninth Iowa
and Second Pennsylvania districts.
Senate Republicans. 80; democrats, 41;
vacancy, 1, from Colorado.
The roll calk In the two branches will
show some remarkable changes from the
lost sesHslon. In the house the democrats
will show a ga'n of fifty-tour members and
(he republicans a loss of fifty-five, the so
cialist member, Victor Brrger of Milwau
kee, accounting for the difference in the
equation.
By reason of the change resulting from
the election last November, new faces will
bo seen not only In the membership of the
houie, but In the whole organisation.
Republican employes In great number will
go out and their places will be filled by
democrats.
Fifty Republicans In Nenate.
Instead of the fifty-nine republicans who
occupied seats In the senate on March
4, there will be only fifty tomorrow. Tho
ranks of the minority will be Increased
from thirty-two to forty-one, and to forty
two when the vacancy in Colorado Is filled.
There was one vacancy In the last ses
sion, caused by the death of the late Sen
ator HugheH of Colorado.
More notable even than the large num
ber of new faces In the senate and the
house will be the absence of so many vet
eran legislators. Chief among those, whose
absence will loom large will be Tawney
of Mlnmsota. Boutell of Illinois. Hcott of
KaiiFSH, McK.nley of California, Bennett.
Fish. Parsons and Cocks of New York,
Hull and Smith of Iowa, Denby of Michi

members. Hitchcock of Nebraska, Polndex

elevated to the senate.
Senator Aldrlca Abtrat.
No longer will the senate roll call open
with the familiar name af Aldrlch, the

to leisure and the study of monetary re

approval a second time and the upper housn

Peannt Politicians.
Part of the veto message was aa followt
"The particular objections to this bid
which make it Incumbent upon me to veto
the same, are directed rather to the form
of the measure than the subject matter
thereof. It Is no more than fair to the
author of thla measure and to those who
are Interested In obtaining legislation along
this line to say that they made an honest
attempt to amend ha proposed measure to
meet the objections In the form of this bill,
and I believe that the came would have
been done had It not been for tha unwar
ranted Interference of . peanut partisan
politics and an attempt on the part of the
political lobbyist who Is evidently more
Interested In having the members of this
legislature attempt to put the governor In
a false light and alienate the lovers ot this
sport than to afford them any needed leg
islation. ' And It occurs to me that the
democratio members of ,v this; , legislature
have In their i midst plenty ' Tt tnpn of
brains and statemanshlp who are capable
of taking care of what they deem to be
In Interests of their party from a parti
san standpoint father than- have it done by
a self appointed political dictator.
Ruaat for Democratic Chairman,
i "It has been a matter of common observation-for
some weeks past that the
chairman of the democratic state central
committee has been having free accesses
to the floors of this legislature and that
he has used this position to Interfere with
free legislation and to thwart the honeat
Judgment of many members of both houses
of the legislature. The scurrllojs designs
of an unscrupulous poiltiran when given
free access to members ot ths legislature
are not only highly censurable on the
part of the organization that permits It.
but such conduct Is dangerous to tbe wel
fare to the people of thla state.
"This kind of an Individual by threats
