FAVOR CULLOM BILL,

Commercial Organizations Want In.
terstate Commerce Law Amended.
st. LOUIS, November 2O.-The League
of National Association of Industrial and
Commercial Organizations assembled here
today for the purpose of discussing and
formulating plans to secure the early pas
sage by Congress of the Culom bill, which
seeks to amend the interstate commerce
law and extend the powers Of that body.
This bill is now on the calendar of the
Senate, and the association proposes en-
deavoring to use it's influence for the pur-
pose of having the bill advanced on the
calendar
President E. P. Bacon of Milwaukee
called the meeting to order.
Secretary Barry, speaking of the pur-
pose of the meeting, said:
1.-The action of the convention will be
simply in the line of giving evidence to
Congress of the strong demand through
out the country for the passage of the
Cullom bill, and to arrange for a delega-
ton to go to Washington in the interest
of the bill. The opposition to the new
measure on the part of the railroads is due
to the fact that they realize that the in
terstate commerce law, in its present FORM
is impotent-the findings of the commits
sion cannot be put in force. There is
another reason for the passage of the Gull
lom bill at this session. If it goes over
there is possibility of the repeal of the
existing law, owing to it's unsatisfactory
working in its present form. And If it is
repealed an impetus will be given to the
theory of government ownership, which is
gaining friends under the present unsatis-
factory law. We all realize that there
must be government control of common
carriers, but government ownership is
another thing.

Il think. said Representative Payne

tee. 10 Star reporter today, that We
shall have an active business session of
Congress this winter. A number Of things,
ought 20 he done. l do not know that they
will all be accomplished. but I believe it
will be. a business session. Among the mat
ters that. / think. will be acted on will be
d reduction of the war revenue. the appor-
IunmeHt bill and the shipping bill.
The Nicaragua canal bill depends upon
the Senate. and we can't say what il will
DO. Likely the SpOoner bill, or something
Ike it with reference 10 the Philippines, Will
be adopted. but some think the President
already has the authority which that bill
proposes TO give him. He surely has han
died the Philippine question very we'll thus
far
With reference to the reapportionment
Mr.. Payne was asked whether the reduc-
ton OF the southern representation would
be pressed.
II that were going to be done" he re-
piled we would not be talking ABOUT pass
ing a reappOrtionment bill at this session"

ASSAULTED AND ROBBED
BALTIMORE JEWELER VICTIM OF
BOLD HIGHWAYMEN
They Enter His Store in Heart of

of Value,

BALTIMORE, November 2O.-Three men
entered the jewelry store of John ]. Hub
bard, Ii North street, this city, this morn
ing, assaulted the proprietor, left him for
dead and literally Quilted the place of it's
contents.
The assault occurred within a block of
police headquarters in one of the most
frequented parts of the city and within a
stones throw of the city hall shortly after
10 O'Clock in the morning. Mr.. Hubbard
says the men came in and asked to be
shown some diamonds. AS he turned to
get them he received a blow on the head
and fell senseless. An hour later he was
discovered bound and gagged and lying in
a coal bin at the rear of the little shop.
A further examination showed that every
article of value had been removed from
the shelves and show cases. 1t is thought
that Mr.. Hubbard will die. No estimate of
the loss can be made on account of his con-
dltlon but his stock was not very extern

Entertainment by Soldiers Union.

The Soldiers Union, consisting of about
lis members of the First Congregational
Church, 10th and streets northwest gave
its monthly entertainment last night at the
church. Capt. r. NJ. Calhoun gave a lee
ture on the civil war; illustrating his re-
marks with lantern slides from official pho
tographs taken nearly forty years ago. Mr.
Calhoun, who is a past commander of La
fayette Corps, No. 20, of this city, was
greatly applauded
The union is made up of old soldiers and
1t is remarkable fact that in one church
alone there still 115 old war-timers en-
rolled. Some of the best known men of the
District, it is said. belong to this associa-
ton, and their interest in the subject of
the lecture was proved yesterday, when
they had an immense audience of friends
brought together that fairly filled the
church.

Responsibility to Be Retained in the
Hands of the Construction Bureau.
Secretary Long has finally passed upon
most of the recommendations of the board
of naval construction relative to the divi
sion of responsibility for the designs for
the naval ships among the various naval
bureaus. After careful consideration, the
Secretary has inclined to the practice of
consolidating authority and responsibility,
according to-. modern practice in private
concerns, and at LEAST to the extent that
these ideas are ipyolved in the existing
naval regulaftpns.v Therefore he has con-
tinued the practice of making the chief
constructor Jthe person to whom the con-
tractors are to looh1for the details of their
plans, and while some of the proposed
amendmentsi4o the, regulations are to be
acted upon by hSna he has generally in
clined to the Eetentton in the hands of the
construction bureauIof most of the respon-
sibilities now placed there, thus avoiding
any sharp ransitisns in methods.

Taboga by the, Colombian government was
due to the fact that the agent of the Pacific
Steam Navigation Company. to which she
belonged, refused to sell or charter the
vessel for the purpose of conveying govern
ment troops, to Buenaventura, which was
besieged by the liberals. Therefore, the
governor decreednthe seizure of the steamer
and proceeded to the relief of Buenavens
tura with troops, ammunition and pro-
visions.
The British consul here c. Mallet, entered
strong protest against the seizure of the
steamer, but 1T was OF no avail. He then
communicated with his government on the
subject No reply has yet been received
from London. The Taboga with the govern
ment troops, ETC., on board arrived at
Buenaventura yesterday. whereupon the
liberals retired.
