COLLEGE EXHIBIT.
Argument in Favor Of Mr.. Tawney's
pi11

An argument was made before the House
committee on Industrial arts and EXPOSE
lions this morning by a delegation from
different agricultural colleges throughout
the country in behalf of Mr.. Tawney's bill
appropria ting 100000 for an exhibit from
these colleges at the st. Louis exposition.
Prof. Jordan of New York was the prin-
cipal spokesman. He explained the work OF
agricultural colleges and experiment sta
lions, institutions which derive their sup
port in a measure from federal assistance.
Such an exhibit as Is proposed has never
before been made at any exposition. ,sr
The plan as outlined is that committee
from the various colleges Of this character
shall cooperate with the government board
in charge Of the government exhibit. The
prediction was made that the work of these
colleges would form perhaps the most at
tractive feature of the government exhibit
and result in much good. through making
the work Of these institutions more familiar
to the people generally.
Prof Young of the Indiana College was
also heard, was Prof. Hayes Of Mime
sofa and DR.. True Of the Department Of
Agriculture.
No action was taken by the committee on
the matter at the meeting today.

HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE.
MT Littlefeld's subcommittee to Con-
slider Administration Bills

The two bills so mysteriousay introduced
In the House late Thursday night by Chair
man Jenkins Of the House judiciary COM
mittee, and which were brought to the at
tention of the Littlefield subcommittee on
trusts Friday morning. were the subject OF
consideration at the meeting Of that COM
mittee held this morning The conclusion
reached was that although the subcommat-
tee had practically completed Its bill on the
subject of trusts, and was to have reported
1t to the full judiciary committee Monday,
consideration of the administrator bills
would only be due courtesy, and conse-
quently the subcommittee VIII continue ts
daily sessions next week, with view OF
reporting an antitrust measure to the
judiciary committee Friday
The bills which Mr.. Jenkins introduced,
and which were printed in The Star yester-
day, were drawn by the Attorney General.
The subcommittee regards them as simply
supplemental to his previous recommended
tionS submitted earlier, and on the lines OF
which they had formulated their bill. For
this reason, there will be no heSitancy IN
considering the two bills as simply supple
mental data on which the committee Is to
act. and the bill to be reported Friday,
will undoubtedly be an embodiment Of all
this data. -.' a.
Neither one Of the two Knox bills contains
and publicity provision. and as this was one
of the Presidents early suggestions. 1t
forms a principal part Of the subcommittee
bill already completed. Other features of
the subcommittee bill are amendments to
the interstate commerce law making the
securing of evidence more practical and
feasible; clause which incrinlnates the re-
ceiyers Of rebates and special rates. we'll
as persons giving such advantages. A diff
ference between the subcommittee and the
Knox bills is noted on the question of the
commission suggested by the Attorney Gen
eIal In his letter to the subcommittee
b. In one Of his bills he provides for a new
commission to secure Information rega riding
corporations and make suggestions for ad-
ditional legislation from time to time. The
subcommittee had disposed of this sugges-
ton by providing an enlargement of the
powers OF the interstate commerce commits
sion. 1t was believed that as this commits
sion had had years of experience and al
ready had the threads Of various lines Of
investigation well in hand both efficiency
and time would be saved by leaving the
matter entirely in its present jurisdiction
with added authority.
Just how these matters will be changed
during the work of the coming week which
the subcommittee proposes to give the mat
ter Is of course problematical. 1t is be-
lieved. however. that the subcommittee will
report to the full committee single anti
trust bill and not several. would have to
be the case II 1t followed to the letter the
work of the Attorney General.

TRAFFIC WAS TIED UP
Temporary Failure Of Motor

CROWDS AT STATIONS

AS a result considerable number of pas

street and Pennsylvania avenue, waiting
for the arrival and departure OF trains
which failed to materialize because OF the
difficulty at the power house Of the COM
pany at Four Mile Run.
Inferior Grade of Coal.
The direct cause of the lack of power.
according to officials Of the company. was
due to an inferior grade Of coal used a.
the engine house.
The company has been using lump coal
brought in from the south over the Chesa-
peake and Ohio, and the officials state this
is the first occasion that any material difn-
Guilty has been experienced in the BURNING

inferior coal was probably included in re-

manner, the coal used in firing the fur

The various waiting rooms in King street.

ton Of traffic this morning with passengers
for Washington and the first train that
left Alexandria after the delay was filled
with passengers.
Have Had Much Trouble.
1t was reported in that place that the
trouble was due to an exhaustion Of the
coal supply at the power house. At the
headquarters of the company. however, 1t
was ascertained that there is plenty OF coal
on hand and there is no danger of delays
on account Of scarcity of fuel.
It was stated that since the recent coal
troubles began the coal that has been re-
ceived by the company has been Of slightly
inferior quality generally, although they
endeavor to buy the best in the market.
More clinkers are found in the ashes, and
1t is found necessary to repair the furnaces
at more frequent intervals than was the
case before the coal famine.

Facts From Railway officials.

Senator Stewart proposes to follow every
clue that may lead to a complete solution
OF the question as to who is responsible for
the high price Of coal. He has ordered that
all witnesses that are likely to develop the
facts be summoned to appear or to have
the committee furnished with the facts
necessary to this end. 1t Is not likely that
President Cassatt of the Pennsylvania
President Loree Of the Baltimore and Ohio
or President Baer of the Reading will be
called to appear here in person, as 1t is
thought that necessary information can be
secured without going to that extreme. The
necessary information. however, will be Sc
cured in some way.

The Cologne Gazette today, in an ap-
parently inspired statement, denies that

dent Roosevelts refusal to arbitrate the
venezuelan dispute or alleged ill-feeling in

Baron Speck Won Sternburg will be given
ample rank. He will not be a simple charge

special rank. probably that of ambassa-
dor extra ordinary, SO that although DR..
Won Holleben will retain for an indefinite
period the title of amba ssador to the United

really have rank equal to or superior to
that OF DR.. Won Holleben. Since the en-
peror has been giving special personal at
tention to Germany's relations with the
United states he has said on two or three
occasions, 1t Is understood. that Germany
ought TO be represented at Washington by
personality which would win the regard
OF the American people as well as the con-
ndence OF the American government. His
majesty on one occasion alluded to the per-
sonaiity OF WI Ting Fang. the former Chi
nese minister at Washington, as being OF
exceptional value to China
One OF Chancellor Won Buelow's consid-
erations in recommending the appointment
OF Baron Speck Won Sternburg was that the
1atter Is not new man in Washington but
one who already had an assured place in
the respect Of the President Secretary Hay

Surprise to the Baron.
The appointment seems to have come as a
complete surprise to Baron Speck Won
Sternburg, for he told the correspondent of
the Associated Press that he had already
started to Calcutta when a telegram caught
him In Paris. He added that he was very
much pleased to return to the friends he
