Withdraws Ruling
Suspending: Advance
in Live Stock Rate.
Railroads May Now Charge Seventeen
Cents to Chicago Instead of the
Present Tariff.
(From a Staff Correspondence.)
WASHINGTON. June 8 Bpecial Tele
gram.) Interstate Commerce commission
today Issued the followtng order, cancel
ling the former order, aa to the matter of
advances of rates on live stock from Kan
sas City to St. Louis and other Mississippi
crossings.
The commission's orders suspending ad
vances In the rates on live stock between
the Missouri and Mississippi river, has this
day been cancelled and the rates permitted
to go Into effect. Taking the advancea on
cattle as typical, the present rat la 14
ceats, while the suspended rate la 17 cent.
One of the chief reasons advanced by
the carriers for the Increase was to equal
ise conditions between the markets at
Omaha. Chicago and Kansas City, but the
commission found that as It had before It
In thla car only the rate from one of these
markets namely, Kansas City and Insuf
ficient Information upon which to pass
upon the Issue of discrimination and undue
disadvantage between the markets, no con
clusion could be reached thereon In this
proceeding. This case also raises the ques
tion of the reasonableness In themselves
of th charge on live stock, but the com
mission came to no conclusion thereon.
Aa thla matter was found to be Involved In
the larger question of the through
charges from points of production to con
suming centers, and Inasmuch aa the com
mission had before It In this case but a
fraction of the rate applying on such move
ment and wholly Inadequate Information
dealing therewith, to say nothing of the
lack of proper parties. It was found Im
possible to decide this important power.
For the above reason and for others which
occurred to the commission In the examina
tion of the rates, the order suspending
them waa cancelled without prejudice to
any of the Interests Involved.

complished., y ... ... " '
Th vote on th measure were a aur
priae to members of the senate. It had been
believed that the finance committae would
ahift responsibility to th senate, leaving
th real fight to be waged on th floor. At
th last moment the opposition In the com
mittee seemed to solidify.
Th committee met In executive session
today and Immediately proceeded to vote
on amendments. The first modification of
fered waa by Senator Nelson of Minnesota,
which would have reduced. Instead of re
moving duties on live stock and farm pro
ducts. Thla was defeated without a roll
call and th same fate was meted out to
the house free list bill. The latter pro
vision was formally offered by Senator
Bailey and received only his vote and
those of Mr. Simmons and Mr. Kern. An
amendment by Simmons to Include flour
and meats In the free list also waa voted
down.
Root Amendment Adopted.

mission of American wood pulp and paper
Into Canada free of duty, then .was voted
Into th bill without discussion, the af
firmative votea being cast by Senators
Lodge, Smoot. Uallingcr, Clark (Wyo.),
Heyburn, LaFollette, Bailey and Simmons,
and the negative by Messrs. Penrose, Cul
lom. McCumber (rep.) and Stone, Kern and
Williams (dem ).
On a motion for a favorable report the
vote stood I to I and on the succeeding
motion for an unfavorable report there
a aa a tie of 7 to 7. The same result at first
followed a motion for a report without
recommendation, but Senatora Galllnger.
Bailey and Simmons, who at first cast
their ballots In the negative ultimately
changed and thus allowed th bill to go to
th senate without recommendation what
ever by a vote of 10 to 4. Senator Johnson
of Maine was absent.
Senator Williams of Mississippi then
i moved that Chairman Penrose be author
ized to report the bill at today' session of
the senate, but the motion received only
the vottj of Merars. Williams, Stone and
Kern. Several minority reports are ex
pected and as It was desired that vliey
should be presented with the majority re
port It was decided to postpone until Tues
day the presentation of any of them.
The Root amendment provides that paper
I and wood pulp sections of the bill shall
not be In force until the president "shall
have satisfactory evidence and shall make
proclamation that such erood pulp paper
and board, being the products of the I'nlted
States, are admitted Into all of the prov
inces of Canada free of duty."
The president already has begun a cam

COOL SPOTS SOUGHT BY ALL
Weather Man Can Offer Ma Hop of
an Karly Cessation of the Hot
pell Although It Mar
Cool a Trifle.
The highest June temperature In the his
tory of Omaha came yesterday. Between
3 and 4 o'clock In the afternoon the mer
cury In the little tube climbed tip to th
1"! doKree mark, which was two degrees
higher than had ever been recorded for
an Omaha June day.
On June 2S. 11)01. which la the next high
est day on record, the temperature crawled
up sr high as lv degrees, but there It
stopped. And what Is worse, there Is no
great break coming In the present hot
spell, although the weather man gave out
that It mlclit be a little cooler today.
The winds that blew from the pavement
and acrnsi the vacant lots could be 1'kened
unto those direct from a desert, and thej
pedestrians who were forced into the aim's
melting rays were In a quandary whether
to walk slow or fast. To go slow meant
to beer me w armer, to walk fast brought
the same result. What breeze was felt
seemed to have come from out of a baka
oven. The only solution to the problem
of how to get cooler was to stand In front
of an electric fan.
