Report on Santa Fee Rebates Discussed
-Mortou's Connection With the
Road.

Washington, Feb 3.-After long
cabinet meeting today Attorney Cen
eral Moody and Secretary Morton re.
NAMED with the President for a con-
siderable time. Railroad rate legiSl>$:
ton was under discussion, but beyond
the fact that the Interstate Commerce
Commission report on the Santa Fe
rebates was considered. nothing was
learned concerning it. Attorney-Gen-
eral Moody said he could not make any
statement.
1t is understood. however, that under
an act of Congress officials of d rail-
road corporation who testify before
the Interstate Commerce Commission
are rendered immune thereby from,
prosecution for such offenses againsv
the law as may be disclosed by their
testimony. Whether officials of the
same corporation who do not testify
also are immune from prosecution for
the offenses charged is said to be q
serious question of law.
Secretary Morton was one of the
officials of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe railroad who testified before
the commission during its investigation
of the rebate charges.

ADVANCE IN COTTON SINCE
FIRST CALL TO ORGANIZE
A Signed Statement by &. III. Jenkins.
of the Executive Committee of the
Cotton Growers Association.
Build Warehouses, He
(By the Associated Press.)

brentwood, Tex, Feb. 3.-The fol-
lowing signed statement has been Is
sued by c. II. Jenkins of the executive
committee of the Southern Cotton
Growers Associations:
Since the first call was issued for
the farmers to organize fer tha pur-
pcse Of securing % per cent. reduc-
ton of acreage and fertilizers. cotton
has advanced $3.50 per bale.
Upon the basis of four million bales
being still in the hands of the produc-
ers, this means q. gain of $10,000,000
to the cotton growers of the South If
the farmers and business men of the
South will stand by the program
agreed upon at the New Orleans con-
vention, this gain Will amount to S40,-
coo, 900 on the crop on hand by June
l, and the gain on the next crop will
be at least SIPS, 100000. Can we not
afford to pay something, both in labor
and money. for such a contamination
as this?
The essentials are reductions in the
next crop and holding the present
crop. The present crop cannot be
held economically without warehouses.
therefore, my advice is to build ware
houses. and d. 1t now. Let the far
mers and business men of every coun-
ty get together at once and raise the
necessary funds to build a warehouse.

A Conference of House Republicans
Adopt as Party Measure the
Esch Townsend
Measure.
(By Associated Press.O

Washington, Feb. S.-The Repubh-
cans of the House of Representatives
in conference this afternoon adopted
te-making powers to the Interstate
Commerce Commission as agreed upon
by the Committee on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce and known as the
ESch-T Townsend bill.
The conference instructed the House
Committee on Rules to bring in rule
providing for consideration of the
measure beginning at IL o'clock
Tuesday morning next and continuing
until Wednesday when vote shall
be taken. No amendments will be
allowed 20 the bill, although the first
vote is to be taken on the Davey bill,
as the Democratic substitute for legis-
lation on the railway rate subject
The conference, which lasted three
hours, developed opposition to the
measure. One test vote taken was on
a motion to postpone the matter for
further conference next Tuesday.
This was lost "A to 107. Efforts We're
de to amend the bill during the
conference, but all of these failed.
The change of the meeting from
caucus, as the call stated, to a con
ference" leaves members participating
free to follow their own inclinationS.
1t is understood that the opposition
may organize with the purpose of.
joining the minority in the House in
the vote on the rule prescribing the
manner of considering the bill in the
House.
Messrs. Mahon and Sibley, of Penn
sylvania We're conspicuous in their
opposition to any legislation at this
time, both Contending that sufficient
time had not been given to the con-
sideration Of the subject Pennsyl-
Vania, Mr.. Mahon said, was the State
most affected, and he thought that the
millions of money involved in the pro-
posed legislation should not be jeopar-
diced by hasty legislation.
The speech that most impressed
members was delivered by Mr.. Payne,
of New York, the ma1ority leader, who
in answer to MIRA Mahon's allegations
that the proposed bill would result in
confiscation and great hardship said
that the bill in its present shape did
not provide for anything noe than
what was in the original Inter State
Commerce Act In other words. he
said, the very law proposed was in
effect for ten years and had operated
| to the satisfaction ofthe railroads.
