Mr.. Moody's bill for the fixing OF
rates and the prohibition of rebates
will not be completed for some time, as
he is finding the problem a difficult
one.
Mr.. Moody does not believe that one
tribunal can be given both executive
and judicial authority, and his bill
probably will provide for court of
three or five members whose decision
shall be final in fixing rates and in all
other railroad matters. The inter-
state commerce commission will be
continued and it will constitute in a
practical sense the lower court. 1t
will have power, as now, to declare
rates which are complained of to be
unfair and to suspend them. If the
railroad then does not establish a rate
which the commission considers fair
it will appeal to the court, which will
have power to fix rates for the future.
The commission will appear before the
courts in the role of prosecutor of the
railroad

Look Out for Crooks.

A Sioux City dispatch says:
Chief of Police Lineen has issued a
warning against two crooks who are
fleeing banks by an entirely new and
ingenious scheme. One of them ap-
pears at a bank with check for a
large sum, drawn on a well-knOwn
firm. AT the same moment the other
enters the Office of the firm whose
name is forged to the check, and asks
to use the telephone, saying he is ex-
pecting call This privilege is read
lily granted.
In the meanwhile the other has pre-
scented the check at the bank, and,
being a stranger, the official calls up
the firm at his suggestion, and asks
if the check is all right. The pal
answers, the telephone, assures the
bank the check is all right, and walks
out, the other easily securing the
money. One firm found it had cost
$500 to allow a stranger to use it's
telephone.

Congressman John A. T. Hull, who
has just returned from Washington
says that Major f. H. Conger is the
choice of the Iowa delegation for gov
ernor.
The announcement is regarded by
some as launching the candidacy of
the minister to China. Conger if he
should make the race for governor to
succeed Cummins. would be a stand
pat candidate.
Little more has leaked out concern
ing the conference of Cummins men
held here on Saturday. From Fort
Dodge comes the information that Tom
Healy has declined to be a candidate
for governor for the same reason that
he refused to be a candidate for con-
gress, namely that he is now general
counsel for the Chicago Great West
ern railroad at a salary of $4,000 a
year, and cannot afford to go into pol
tiles.
Webb Byers of Harlan was the Sec
Ond choice for governor at the Cum

HOUSE CONFERENCES
HAVE GIVEN BIG RAILWAY
- MEN AN IDEA.
It Is Said That They Are in Sympathy
With President Rooseveit's
Plan.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. %
Since the visit of President Fish Of
the Illinois Central, President Cassatt
of the Pennsylvania railroad and j. p.
Morgan of New York to Washington,
letters have been received by members
of congress interested in railway legis-
latiOn from several men prominent in
other big trunk lines upon the subject
of proposed legislation for government
tai regulation Of railway rates. These
letters are said to be uniform in tenor
and to indicate that the big railroad
men are in sympathy with the plan
for the government taking hold of the
question of arbitration of rates-not
initiatory fixing of them-if at the
same time the legislation would re-
lieve the big roads of some of the evils
Of classification determinations that
are now practiced by smaller roads, and
if some latitude in the way of pooling
were allowed the railways.
1t is stated at the capital that Pres
ident Roosevelt, if he had it to do
over again, would probably modify his
recommendation to the extent of not
specifying the detailed method of ac-
complishing the reform, but merely
urging in broad and general terms the

Moody Has a Plan.

The problem of how to secure legis-
lation which ~effectually will prohibit
railroad rebates and unjust rates will
probably be studied by joint commit
tee of the house and senate, which will
sit during the summer and present a
bill to the first congress. This is the
plan proposed by the president and
Attorney General Moody, and the
house and senate leaders have APP
proved.
The question is so complex that it
cannot be quickly disposed of, Mr..
Roosevelt thinks, without danger of
injustice to either the railroads or the
shippers, and no legislation will be
attempted at this session.
