THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 2, 11)10. REGULARS PATCH RAILROAD BILL TO SUIT THEMSELVES Bailey's Challenge to Supreme Court Turned Down by Aldrich Forces BEAT LAFOLLETTE MEASURE Changes Bring Water Competition Matters Under Jurisdiction of Commerce Body WASHINGTON, June a vote of to 31 the senate today refused to challenge the supreme court of the United States to annul their decision regarding the right of common carriers to transport commodities produced by themselves, The vote was taken upon an amendmcin to the railroad bill offered by Senator Bailey, making it unlawful for an" railroad to transport from one state to another "any article or commodity manufactured, mined or produced by it or under its authority, or by any corporation, Joint stock company or partnership as said railroad company holds, owns or controls directly or indirectly." The amendment was intended to remedy the supposed defect in the commodifies clause of the Hepburn act of 1906, out of which grew the famous decision of the supreme court, in which the government undertook to prosecute a number of roads engaged in the mining of anthracite coal in Pennsylvania. The court held the law to be constitutional, but materially limited its application. The original provision was drawn by Senator Bailey and he sought by today's amendment to force the court to face squarely the question of the right of congress to prohibit railroads from transporting commodities produced by themselves. In good natured manner, but with pointed language, he criticised the court and said he intended to make tho language of the present provision so plain that "not even a Judge of the supreme court could fail to understand The time consumed In debate on the Bailey amendment prevented a final vote on the bill today.

UAFOI.I.KTTE IyOSKS FIGHT The first vote of tho day enme on the LaFollette amendment providing for the ascertainment of the physical valuation fit railroads as a basis for the fixing of rates. The amendment waJ defeated, 25 to .10. A modified provision by Mr Simmons requiring such valuation of property affected by any given case also was lost. 28 to 30. The tendency to bring water transportation under the Jurisdiction of the Interstate commerce commission found expression in two amendments, one by Senator Simmons of North Carolina and the other by Senator Burton of Ohio.

Both amendments were accepted. The first was presented in connect on with the long and short haul provision heretofore adopted. It provided that "when application is made to the commission by a carrier to fix a lower rate for longer than for shorter distances, because of water competition, said application shall not bo granted if the commission, after investigation, shall find that the lower rate asked for will destroy- water competition." Following is the text of the Burton amendment: "Whenever a railway or railways, in competition with a water route or routes, shall reduce the rates on the carriage of any species of fre.ght, it shall not be permitted to increase such rates unless, after hearing by the interstate commerce commission, It shall be found that proposed increase rests upon changed conditions other than the diminution or the decrease In water competition, and the said commission hereby is given the right to prescribe minimum railroad rates on lines competing with waterways, whenever in its opinion the object of the railroad or railroads in reducing rates is to destroy waterway competition. UORE AMKND.MKNTS I' ASS Mr. Elklns also accepted an amendment offered by Senator Shively, as he did a second amendment suggested by Senator Burton.

The Shively provision authorizes suits for damage growing out. of the failure of the railroads to supply a written statement of the rate for carrying a given shipment from one place to another, awarding a penalty of for such failure. The Burton second amendment Imposes on carriers a penalty of $5000 for eliciting and divulging Information concerning the character or destination of a given shipment. In the Bailey amendment, as in the case of the vote on the LaFollettc physical valuation amndment. all the negative votes were cast by "regular" Republicans.

Fourteen Democrats and eleven Republicans voted for the Bailey amendment. After the defeat of the Bailey amendment, Mr. Crawford introduced a similar provision, so modified as to permit a railroad company to transport articles of its own production, alter they had been disposed of for ninety days through bona tide This amendment was pending when tiie senate adjourned and Will be the first business in order tomorrow.

Three of the Principals in Senator William Lorimer's Bribery Scandal CHARLES A. WHITE AT RIGHT OF SENATOR LORIMER AND LEFT OF LEE O'NEIL BROWN ROADS TO FIGHT FOR HIGHER RATE Twenty-Five Railways to Send Representatives to St. Louis Conference ST. LOUIS, June Louia attorneys for railroads Interested in the government suit to restrain western railroads from advancing freight rates in the Western Trunk Line territory received telephone calls from Gardner Lathrop, general solicitor of the Santa Pc system, for a conference at Chicago Friday. The object of the conference is to prepare for a vigorous contest of the government's suit.

The principal ground upon which the suit will fought is the contention thare is an agreement among the railroada to advance rates in violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. any agreement at all is admitted the railroads will contend that it is legal and necessary, because of present industrial conditions, to protect the Interests of the general public. That tho railroads aye members of the Western Trunk line, an official said, does not indicate they are in agreement, because the schedule of rates, promulgated by the Western Trunk line committee, is not binding up in the members without their express consent. The order nf Judge David P. Dyer, restraining the twenty-five roads was placed in the hands of the United States marshal here tonight.

Three of the companies having general offices here will be served tomorrow. They are the Missouri Pacific, the Wabash and the St. Louis San Francisco. Copies of the order were sent tonight to Chicago, Kansas City, St. Paul and Parsons, whore, general offices of the various railroads arc located.

Though the temporary injunction is not effective until served on all roads, It was announced here no effort had been made today to collect the advanced rate, unless at distant points, because rescinding orders had not had time to reach them. Railway officials said most of the road 9 hud anticipated the Increased revenue from the new rates and had planned extensive Improvements, which will probably bo hold up. Frederick N. Judson said tonight he. had born retained as special counsel in rate case, and as would be an assistant to tho attorney general.

The railroads may petition to dissolve the retraining- order. If they fail In (his. the petition of the government for a permanent injunction probably will come up July the date on which tho order to bo served by marshals tomorrow has boon made returnable. SOME FREIGHT INCREASES NOT STOPPED BY COURT Injunction Applied Only to One Schedule of Railroads WASHINGTON. Juno of the Western Trunk Line association which were prevented from becoming effective at tnldnlffht last night by the temporary injunction granted by the (ederal circuit court at Hannibal, constitute only a part of the advances made by the Western Trunk Line association.

The injunction applied only to tariff All 5 mentioned in the bill tiled before the circuit court by representatives of the department of Justice. The tariffs tiled practically simultaneously with the interstate commerce commission by the Eastern Trunk Line association! making advances in rates on commodities between Chicago and Milwaukee and Chicago and St. Paul and on wool between St. Paul and eastern destinations are in effect today. While those tariffs are not so important as those making general advancei In commodities between Missouri river and Mississippi river trans- I (Cuuliuued uu I'agtt Xwo) GIRL HEROINE INJURED WHILE RESCUING BABY Student Tosses Child from Path of Automobile TOPKKA, June Casebler, a freshman at Washburne college, while on her way to a reception at Bethany college yesterday, snatched a baby boy from in front of a speeding motor car at Tenth and Polk streets, tossed him to one side out of danger, and was herself struck by the machine, thrown to the pavement and her right arm broken.
