FOR MRS. DUKE

(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Feb. 6-When Mrs.
Brodie L. Duke was arraigned in
police court today for her adjourned
examination is developed that the
Texas authorities have not, as has
been reported, given up their inten-
ton of securing her extradition to that
State. Just before court opened Dis
trict Attorney Jerome received the
following message:

Counsel for Mrs. Duke tried to Sc
cure her release on parole but the
representatives of the district attorney
would not agree. After hearing the
argument on that point Magistrate
Pool said:
There is something queer about
this whole case. 1t looks as ii the
Texas authorities have been tritiing
with the district attorneys office here.
1t is fifteen days since Mrs. Duke was
arrested and we have heard nothing

Its Purpose Accomplished.

In denouncing the rule Mr.. Williams
declared that the OBJECT of the Demo-
cratic caucus had been accomplished.
That object, he said. was to let the
President Of the United States and the
minority men of the majority party
know That there would be no mere
partisan and factional opposition to a
great public measure. The three
amendments Mr.. Williams demanded
were, he said, to give the commission
power 10 substitute rate for the one
declared off; to make that rate opera
tive until set aside by final Judgment
Of a court; and 10 base appeal or re-
view TO q court upon evidence adduced
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission
The fairness of the rule to all mem
bers was declared by Mr. DalZell to
be apparent since it afforded full op-
portunity to vote on both bills offered
by the two parties. The rule also
was defended by MIR. GSosvenor, of
Ohio.
Mr.. Grosvenor in answer to Mr.
Cochran (Mo.). was rehearsing the
original Interstate Commerce Ieeis-
iation when Mr.. Gaines (Tenn.), cried
out:
"Oh. pshaw." When the laughter
which followed had subsided Mr.
eirosvenor Indignantly retortly: That
is III keeping with the character of
position he (Gaines) occupies
Mr. Gaines sought to exrlain that he
did not intend to be offensive, but Mr..
Grosvenor would not he Interrupted.
The Railroads Warned.
Messrs. Townsend, of Michigan one
ol the authors of the bill under con-
slderatiou and Richardson, of Ala
oa1na, occupied the remainder of the
day discussing il. both sounding a
note of warning to the railroads thai
unless they joined hands with Congress
II the matter the people would de-
mand more drastic legislation.
Let the railroads comply with this
law, said Mr.. Townsend, 'and vol
unfairly correct any evil not covered
by this bill, and it Will be we'll with
them. Let them oppose it's just pro-
visions and they viii but accumulate
troubles against the day of judg-
ment."
Before taking his seat, Mr. Town
send, in reply to Mr.. Richardson
tAla.) was positive in the assertion
that the bill. in connection with the
so-called Ekins act, would reach the
private car lines.
Mr.. Richardson ( Ala.) said the de-
HidnQ IOr legislation to regulate
freight rates had come in such an
earnest way that Congress could not
for moment disregard it, but he
counselled against engaging in hasty
or hostile legislation. He was parti-
cularly antagonistic to the feature Of
the bill under consideration providing
for a special court to pass upon rates,
maintaining that ii was a, departure
from the judicial system of the gov
ernment.

The House today again had before
it the Swayne impeachment case. Mr..
