Hon. Jerry Simpson was able to
take short drive on the streets of
Roswell, u. NJ, on Friday. 1t was
his first time up since taking down
a few months ago. The dispatches
say he is a walking skeleton but in

This is the second time Jerry has
gotten up from what seemed a
hopeless condition, since becoming
a national figure. Grit and nerve
win out in sickness as well as in
business affairs.

PECK BEFORE COMMISSION.
Says the Body He's No Authority to
Establish DifferentiaIs.

Washington, MAY 1.-George r. Peck,
general counsel of the Chicago, Mlwau-
kee and st. Paul railroad, was again be-
fore the Senate committee ON interstate
commerce today. He reiterated his asser-
ton that If the interstate commerce COM
mission had power to fix rates 1T could
not estai differentials. If dfferentials
were abolished he said, it probably would
result in sending freight to New York
because of its harbor and shipping facil-
tiles and it's financial and commercial sta
tus; he declared the most effective in
strument against rebates was the injunc-
ton; that the later was better than a
criminal proceeding, because it was
speedy and summary.
Private car lines, he said, were not
common carriers, but were necessary to
carry on the commerce in perlshable ar
ticles Mr.. Peck made several references
to the EschTownsend act i'm answering
questions of Senator CIlllom. and he later
remarked that he did not think the com
mittee was disposed to hold to the Esch-
Townsend bill, and that that measure al
most may he used as a basis for discus
sion

UNDERWOOD TALKS
RATE REGULATION
Congressman Says it is Vital
Question in United States
A STATE PROBLEM ALSO
Representative from This District
Says the House Will Give Com
merce Commission All Pow
er-Fiqht in the Senate.

Congressman Oscar w. Underwood has
returned from Washington and will be in
Birmingham until fall. when an extra
session of the national body will be called
to discuss the railroad rates.
In the opinion of Mr. Underwood the
House will pass bill giving the interstate
commerce commission unlimited power in
the matter of regulating freight rates.
but a strong stand will be made by the
railroads in the Senate.
Mr.. Underwood also thinks that this is
the vital question in Alabama politics.
Mr.. Underwood Talks.
81 think Congress will be called in ex-
ira session about the 18th of next Octo-
Der for the purpose of considering the
question of the regulation of railroad
rates in state and national politics, and
will in all probability hold the front of
the political stage until finally settled-in
Alabama by the legislature and in the
Union by Congress.
when the question was before the
House last winter l voted ana spoke in
favor of giving the interstate commerce
commission the pawer to regulate and
law should apply to private car compan-
les and terminal tracks well.
1T does not seem to me that there can
be any doubt the justice of the PROPOSE
ton. The franchise of all railroads are
given them with the understanding that
they shall haul the peoples freight and
passenger traffic at reasonable rates and
not use the power given them to discrim-
mate in favor of one man as against an
other, or one industry as against its
rival
Right to Fair Profit.
"A railroad company hes a right TO
make fair and legitimate profit on its
invested capital, but has no right in the
world to use its power to Cypress or
drive out of business one man in order
TO make another one rich. The great
trusts and monopolies in this country
could never have developed and obtained
their enormous wealth and power that is
now possessed by them had it not been
for the determinations in their favor by
the transportation companies Of the
United States, which enabled them to
kill out all competition and monopolze
the business in which they were engaged.
Il believe that the people of this state
are aroused to the necessity and impor
lance of the legislative bodies of the
country giving the national and state
railroad commissions power to act as well
as advise, which latter is all that the
interstate commerce commission possesses
at this time. / do not think that there
is any doubt that the national House of
-
needed but the fight in the United States
Senate will be a very vigorous one. and
no man at this time can predict the re-
suit.
Now that the city has agreed to grant
the right to erect building in Capitol
park for a weather station. there is no
question about ii being erected. 1t will
probably be year and half before the
building is completed and ready to be
used"

men on strike was made today, the most
important accession to the teamsters be-
ing the drivers of the delivery wagons of

the length of asking employers to re-
frain from requesting them to haul coal
or other merchandise, and asserting that
streets. there was nothing for them to
do but to return to the barns.
The employers association this after
noon informed the teamowners that they
must make deliveries at once, and con-
tinue to make them from this time on.
The question of coal was becoming vital
