HOUSE MAY LOOK
INTO RATE MEASURE

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 22.-Un-
less legislation for government rate
making for railroads shall be injected
into the house next week, the legis-
iatiye work days will be devoted to
the annual appropriation bills. No
programme on the rate question has
been agreed on. However, the intro
duction of the Hepburn bill on this
subject Saturday and the long consid-
Grafton that has been given the mat
ter in committee, indicate that the
house soon will be asked to give con-
slderation to the proposition.
The District of Columbia appropria-
tion bill has the right of way, and fol-
lowing this the pension appropriation
Dill and the postoffice supply measure
are next in line. These measures doubt
less will consume the week, with some
minor measures that may be given
little time.

rhe Devils Daughter" at the Star

'sS OSs''S 6dhSIsSf az lfiC SIdI
. There has not been better show at
the Star this season than that pre-
sented by Scribner's Morning Glories
company yesterday. The entertain
ment moves merriiy along from start
to finish. The piece contains something
of a plot, but not enough to annoy the
gallery. The unobtrusive theme is con-
fined principally TO the first part, which
is entirely new. The subsequent two
acts contain the best of last seasons
stunts. The chorus, eolloquially desig-
mated "the bunch" is a highly orna-
mental aggregation, and very efficient
yocally. The show girls triumph is
the climax of the first act, in which
they perform some drilling and march
ing maneuverS that evoke much ap-
plause The military band, composed
mostly of young women, is also a fea-
ture.
Another feature is the acquisition of
a real ACTOR in the person of James A.
Marcus, who plays three different char
acters and displays an Intimate ac-
quaintanee with the kings English.
This is so rare in burlesque as to be
noteworthy. Added to this he exhibits
a vein. in fact, several veins, of char
acter humer that are commendable. As
a policeman. he looks like one who had
just come from the street instead of a
stage dressing room.
Clarence Wilbur is still popular in
the role of Patsy, and continues to pro-
woke much amusement in the school
room scene. Constance Window looks
prettily mischievous, and is otherwise
entertaining as Satanella, The Devils
Daughter"
The only specialties are an excellent
song and dance sketch by the Misses
Cooper and Harvey, and fine aero
batic stunt by Scott and Wilson The
musical numbers are abundant and
cleverly executed. "Chinkapin Lane"
a pretty melody caught the fancy of
the audience, which called for several
repetitions of the song. The play is
very prettily staged.

WAR CUTS DOWN
THE WHEAT CROP
Russian Farmers Under Arms, or
are Fleeing to Escape Con-
scription.
Few Left to TIL the Soil Result.
Is Less Competition for
American Farmers.

Hit hard by crop losses that run
into millions of bushels, Russia, one of
the worlds greatest competitors of the
American wheat farmer, lis out of it
this season and will cut little figure
in the markets Rumors have been
coming of enormous losses in Russian
wheat and rye, and very recently
George BroomhalI, the Liverpool stat
istician sent over an estimate that
showed almost 450,000,000 less grain
produced in Russia than in 1904. This
morning James Z. Clarke of the Chi
cago board Of trade was on Change
here. Mr.. Clarke has a letter just re-
ceived from a friend now in Odessa,
which gives the situation, and fully
confirms the former reports.
The war and a bad season did the
damage. With a million men taken
from the fields, thousands crossing the
border to escape CONSUMPTION and many
of the peasant women, who are farm
workers, making their way out of the
country, the acreage sowns to crops was
smaller by far, and with bad season
following yields were, light.
The letter says the internal condi-
tions in Russia are bad, altho around
the black sea ports the railroads are
making better progress and CONNER
c1al conditions are taking on better
shape.
The meat Of the letter is in the clear
indication that Russia, having ex.
ported from 100000 to 5000 .oO0
bushels Of wheat a week all thru last
season, will have nothing to export an.
other year, and the American farmer
will not have to stand the competition
when his grain comes upon the Euro.

CONFERENCE NOW
MOVES IN SMOOTHER WA TIERS
ROCKEFELLER IN
FIGHT ON GOULD
Pennsylvania Railroad, Too, Back
Of Ramsey in Struggle for
the Wabash.

New York Sun Special Service.
New York, Sept. l6.-Besides John D.
Rockefeller, the Pennsylvania railroad
is at the back Of President Ramsey in
his struggle to wrest control of the Wa
bash from Gould.
My father has the unqualified sup
port of some Of the large stockholders
in the Wabash said John P. Ramsey,
son of Joseph A. Ramsey, Jr. IF he;
had not been assured Of this support he
would certainly not have undertaken
this fight. He has an excellent chance
to win in the end, and, of course, that
will mean big change in the conduct
of the system.
Wall street was badly Jared by the
statement in President Ramsey's circu-
lar calling for proxies, that $l2,OOO.OOO
had been paid out of the net earnings
me ITS demanded by Gould. The stir
was chiefly among the holders Of the
debenture nB' bonds, which are en-
titled to all surplus earnings up to S
per cent on the bonds. For some time
the interest has been suspended, and it
now appears that millions that should
have been paid to the bondholders
have been diverted to other channels.
The bondholders are up in arms against
Gould and they undoubtedly will turn
all their strength over to Ramsey.
The prevailing sentiment in Wall
street today was that Ramsey would
win. George Gould is in the Catskill
mountains, but is expected at his office
on Monday. b. T. Jafrey, president
! Of the Rio Grande, representing Mr..
| Gould, said he could not understand the
| attitude Of President Ramsey.

TAWNEY PRESENTS
RATE BILL PLAN
HOUSE TO WAIT
SENATE'S ACTION.
Minnesota Congressman Has Pro-
gram for Rate Regulation
Measures.
Nv w, w, Jermane.

Washington. Sept. l6.-Representa-
tive James A. Tawney Of Minnesota
is in Washington on departmental bus1-
mess. This is his first visit to the cap
sital since spring, and he tnds many
small matters to attend to-. he IS tax
ing an active interest in the rallroa q,
rate question and hopes congress VIII
so manage in the next session as to
insure legislation. Much, however, de-
ponds upon the management
The strategy must be carefully
thought out if results are to come, and
Mr.. Tawney calls attention to this
fact. He believes it will be a mistake,
for instance, to have the house OF rep
resentatives again assume the lnlCla
tive and pass bill in advance OF ac-
ton by the senate. The house, as ne
is ready to pass another when the
proper time comes. The initiative, he
thinks, should now be assumed by the
senate.
A senate committee has been consid-
ering the question all summer, and IS
soon to meet to prepare a bill. He
would, have this the only bill before
congress for awhile.
The chief opposition to legislation is
in the senate; in fact, there IS no real
opposition in the house. Mr.. Tawneey
thinks that if the senate can be made
to take up the case first, public SEN
timent can be focused on that body
early in the session, before other I'M
portant bills begin to press for consld-
Grafton. Then, when the senate. has
acted, the house can, in a few days,
reach vote on the senate bill, and II
the bill should be changed in the house,
/ n onnIar-
ence. This would insure legislation, and
Mr.. Tawney believes is the proper
method of procedure.
IF the house were to act first, the
senate would mark time until well
along in the session, and then other I'M
portant matters would press to the front
| and there would be numerous excuses
for the failure Of the senate to act.
| Program for President.
It is quite likely that this proposed
program will be called to the attention
of the president, in order, if possible,
indorse it and work for it.. the senate
could hardly afford to decline to pass
some kind Of asbill. S VS.
| Mr.. Tawney has given no attention
yet to the treasury deficit, and does not
| know what the ways and means. com
mittee will recommend for it's relief
/, He is confident that there will be nc
tariff legislation next winter. Congress
is not as near revision at this time, in
his Judgment, as it was three years
ago. This outlook Is not encouraging
to him as revisionist, but it must be
faced. - .t< !.
He has no opinions regarding the con
test for the appropriations committee
craftsmanship, and believes the. speaker
has given the question no serious con
4 sideration.s He is aware that his namt
has been used in connection with Thu
1 Craftsmanship, but thinks that use ha'
been entirely without authority.

BILLION IN CLAIM
AGAINST AMERICA
Descendants of Kosciusko Assert
Federal Request Entities
Them to Chicago.
New York Sun Special Service.

Berlin, Sept 16.-According to the
Berliner Tageblatt, an attorney repre-
senting two families named Kosciusko,
living at Gressen, intends to bring a
claim against the United States gov
eminent for compensation to the
amount of 4,2o0,0 100000 marks ($1,05O,-
000,000).
The Kosciuskos assert they are de-
scendants of the Polish national hero,
Kosciusko, who also played a part in
the American war Of independence. In
recognition of his services during that
campaign, the American government
presented Kosciusko with a. piece of
land on which Chicago is built at the
present time.
This grant, it is stated, was made
in the form Of an official document
which came into the possession of the
present claimants short time ago as
bequest.
A lawyer has been instructed to pre-
sent the claim to the United States at
an early period.
