ELKINS DECLARES
RATE BILL WAITS
Senator Says Railroads Foes
Have Been Heard, Now
Friends Will Speak.

Washington, Feb. 21.-When the sen.
ate convened today, Mr.. Carmack of
the committee on interstate commerce,
presented petition for railroad rate
legislation, and Mr.. Berry Immediately
asked as to the prospect for railroad
rate legislation.
Mr.. carmack gave place to Mr..
Elkins, chairman of the committee, to
make reply. Mr.. Elkins said:
The bill passed by the house reached
the senate about ten days ago. During
that time the senate has had almost con-
tinuous sessions, but only one friend OF
railroads has been heard. TIE committee
has given the best attention possible to the
bill, but there has been no time to con-
slider the amendments and there are sew
eral believed to be important. No de-
cision as to an effort to pass the bill this
session has been reached, but with a linn
tied time at their disposal it would seem
that there is very little prospect Of that
result before adjournment, with only ten
days of the session left, and with much
other important business to be performed.
It would hardly seem probable that the
most important economic question OF the
day could be disposed Of in so short
time, and especially in view of the fact
that only one side Of the question has 10
far been presented to the committee.
Committee at Sea.
The senate committee on interstate
commerce today reached no definite de-
cision as to postponement of railroad
rate legislation. The committee will
go on with hearings Thursday, when the
Kean resolution for an investigation Of
rate legislation during the recess will
be considered.
The committee considered today the
question of reporting to this session
bill for the regulation of railroad rates
or resolution asking that the COM
mittee be authorized to sit during the
recess to perfect some measure that
will meet the objections raised against
the Esch-T Townsend bill, which was
passed by the house. Agreement WAS
impossible and, amid confusion, the
committee was adjourned by Chairman
Elkins with the announcement that q
meeting will be held on Thursday so
hear Stuyvesant Fish, president of the
Illinois Central, and others.

ROOSEVELT GETS !.
new BAITLESHIPS
House Votes One Hundred Million
for Greater Navy-Victory :
for President.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal, ~. 9.-,s .. - -
F. Chicago, Feb. ELEVATOR Wellman,
in a Washington special to the Record
Herald, says: .~. - TIL.
Another victory for the administra-
tatives this afternoon when the naval
appropriation. bill was passed with au-
thorization of two new battleships.
Vigorous efforts had been made BY the
lovers of ."pork' in the name Of
economy to reduce the number of new
battleships to one, thinking this saving
would improve their chances to get some
thing for their districts in the way Of
river and harbor improvements and new
public buildings: But when. the vote
to stike two battleships out of the COM
mittee bill and insert one battleship,
forty democrats were patriotic enough
to. line up with the bulk Of the repub-
lican party, while thirty-four repub-
licans voted for one battleship and a
chance at the pork barrel. The total
vote was 121 to 144, and the growth of
the American navy will not be checked.
The total sum carried by the bill
which passed the house is approximate
" $100,0o0,0oo. A navy of size and ef-
ly, but most of the members Of the
house who stood for the increase recon-
mended by Admiral Dewey Is naval
board and the administration regard the
annual naval budget simply as an in
surance premium on the nation g policy
Of peace and ability to cope with
trouble should trouble break out. The
cost of the two battleships authorized
today will ba about fifteen million five
hundred thousand dollars, or $3.50, 900
each, ready to go into commission.
When our present construction pro.
gram is carried out the United States
will be the third naval power of the
world in tonnage Of fighting ships, and,
we shall be second in point Of efficiency.

sure Of Thoro Inquiry.

Representative Campbell is convinced
from his talks with the president that
the investigation will be honestly and
promptly carried on, and If there is
the slightest chance for criminal pros
eoution by the department. Of justice
it will be made.
The situation in the Beaumont oil
fields will also be investigated, but just
at present all the energies Of the bu-
toward the Kansas oil fields.
Mr.. Campbell gave to the president
hundreds Of letters and kilograms he
had received since the ordering of the
investigation praising the action of tho
administration.
From advices he has received from
Kansas, Representative Campbell told
the president, the Standard Oil COM
pany was alreday preparing it's defense,
sib1e way the investigation.
Standard Oil Fight.
Mr.. Campbell believes that the action
Of the Standard Oil company, in re-
Stunning the purchase of crude oil or
petroleum in Kansas, is done for the
sole purpose of preventing the produ-
GERS In that state from furnishing as
sistance to the special agents of the
government. He said he would not be
surprised to learn that the Standard
Oil company increased the price it paid
for such oil in the hope Of regaining
the friendship Of the producers, which
only. two weeks ago it was willing to
crush.
No action has yet been taken by the
interstate commence commission to aid
the bureau of corporations in determin-
ing whether or not discriminatory rates

or it's tributary companies by the Atchi-
son, Topeka 6 Santa Fe, Of which Sec
rotary of the Navy Paul Morton was

that this part Of the investigation can
be better carried on by that branch
than by any other; Such investigation

New York Sun Special Service.

Washington, Feb. 21.-President
Roosevelt has directed that the de-
partment OF justice cooperate with the
department Of commerce and labor in
the investigation Of the affairs Of the
Standard Oil company.
The president 3 idea in having the
department. of justice work with the de-
investigation is that if information =,
received it will be turned over to the
special attorneys of the department Of
justice who will be able to pass on it
from legal point of view. In the
event these attorneys believe additional
information is desired they can inform
the commissioner Of corporations, who
will direct that the necessary evidence
be secured.
Commissioner Garfield and the presi-
dent talked over plans today. The
scope Of the inquiry. He has told Mr..
Garfield that he expects him thru his
bureau to make. the investigation thoro
in every respect.
Basis for New Law.
The president believes in the present
instance the Standard Oil company has
furnished him with the basis for law
preventing the great corporations crush
ing out the life Of the smaller business
men. He believes that from this case
will grow a law which he claims will
give a "square deal" to every man
quested by the president to 20 into the
case thoroly and to advise him whether
the present laws are sufficient to pre-
vent this. If they are not, the presi,
dent will refer the entire matter to
congress with recommendations that
laws be enacted which will give every
man, be he big or little dealer, ga
square deal.
In discussing the Investigation with
Representative Campbell today, the
president declared that from the repre-
oil producers Of Kansas and from Other
sources, case will be made against the
Standard Oil company.
Great Credit In Prosecution.
The president argues that as the
Standard Oil company is the greatest
trust and monopoly in the country thai
he will receive all the more credit FOL
having dissolved it or SO crippled it thai
it will no longer be q menace In the OF
fields and to the small producers.
He has also seized upon this case al
the important event of his administra
ton to prevent the interference of thu
trust, not only with state legislatures
but with the affairs of the national gov
eminent as we'll. The president TOLD
| two of his callers today that he was de
termined to have the investigation
pushed to the utmost for the reason tina
he was convinced that a proper inyesti
CATION will show that the Standard Oh
Company is violator of the law, if no
