Senator RAmea's Action Gives Them
Another Years Lease OF Life.
ALBANY, April 27.-SenAtor Raines to-
day moved to non-concur In the Assembly
amendments to his anti-Rsines hotel bill.
The changes made in the Assembly,
said T. II. Reed, secretary of the Committee
Of Fourteen. merely restored tho bill 20 tho
form In which II was originally introduced.
Senator Raines had said that he would con-
cur in this amendment II made In thu Assem-
bly,. His ction Is regarded by theCommittee
of Fourteen az a direct breach of faith, and
he will be held personally responsible for
the com inulnos In existence OF the vile
resorts which now bsar his name. The
fallurNof the senate 70 coAollr in the amend
ments viii prevent tho passage Of the bill
before May /, and 80 gives the Raines law
hotels another years lease Of life.

complied With the building laws Of the state
and locality as regards the 1reproot con-
Struotion Of hotes, This bill would have
affected only such hotels in the city OF New
York as were over IS feet high, az Others
are exempted from the hreproof regulation
Of the building law.
1T would DOT have affected hotels In
other citss OF even within the limits OF the
city Of New York in those sections whore
the fire regulations do not apply, as at
Coney Island. The worst dives In the
city Of New York are in buildings under

called hotels IN StbOr cities are as awful IN

PRESIDENT CUTS HIS OUTING.
WILL START FOR WASHINGTON
on MAY 8.

This II a week Earlier Than lie Had In
tended-The Accumulation Of OmCiai
Business In washington IL Given as
the Cause Of the Change Of Program
WARRINGTON, April 27-woTd was re-
oeived In Washington to-day that President
Roosevelt had changed his plans 30 a. 10
start on his return 10 Washington a week
earlier than he had intended. Govern
ment offlcer who has been In communica-
ton with the President said tonight that
ne knew Of no urgent reason for Mr.. Roo5e-
velts presence At the capital sooner than
he had originally arranged TO be back. He
explained that just prior 10 his departure
from Washington on April the President
said that be had planned 10 remain away
until the end Of Nay, but be supposed
that after he had been absent a few weeks
he would change his program and return.
1t Is believed here that the President, hnd-
ing that official business requiring biz atten-
ton Is accommodating faster than he expected,
wants 70 get back In plenty Of time 10 dispose
OF 1t before he goes to Oyster Bay for the
summer.
When Mr.. Roosevelt left Washington he
contemplated staying away until about
May n, but whom In Texas he decided that
he would start on his return journey on
May IS His present plan Is TO conclude
his hunting trip and begin his homeWard
journey on May 8. This will neoessitate
change In the dates Of the celebrations IN
the Presidents honor at Denver and Chi
cago,
1t u the understanding here that the
President viii leave Washington for the
summer few days after June IS. He will
make a trip 10 Brooklyn on Memorial Day
In the meantime.
GLRNwooD SPRINGS, Col; April H.
President Roosevelt has decided 10 break
camp on May and start for Washington
the next day. Press Of public business In
Washington Is the reason given for the

derstood that the President and his friends
would remain In the mountains until May IL.
When Nav 8 rolls around President
Roosevelt will have been in the mountains

be delighted said he just before be left
New Castle, Mr. Roosevelt has three
pelts 10 his credit, and this fact, it is be-
lieved, has 20 some extent dulled his appe-
tite for the chase. There Is certainly nothing
OF urgent importance going on at Washing
ton requiring the attention OF the President,
or the start would be made at once
Secretary Loeb tonight notified the
organizations In Denver and Chicago that
have fixed dates for the entertainment OF
President Roosevelt that he would start
East a week earlier than was expected.
The President will keep these engage
ments. He will attend a banquet at Den

CITY WINS GAS SUIT.

ing the outstanding claims against the city

panies was decided In favor Of the city
officials by Supreme Court Justice Kelly in
Brooklyn yesterday.
The proceedings we're brought 70 prevent
the city officials from paying the claims Of
the electric and gas light companies for
lighting Manhattan and The Bronx from
Jan. 1, 1908, 70 March /, 1904 The present
officials refused 10 enter into a new contract
when they took Office In 1904 on the ground
that the rates we're excessive. The com
panies continued TO light tho city until
March 1, 1904, when q new ooantract was
entered into. Comptroller Grout then
agreed 70 compromise the claims by not
paying the interest asked for. Mr.. Hearst
then stepped In and asked for an injunction
enjoining the city officials from paying the
claims, sggregAting Is, 900, 900, on the ground
that they were excessive. The case was
tried before Justice Kelly In Special Term
and yesterday he handed down his decision.
The lighting companies are suing the
city 10 recover the amount Of their bills,
and the city, Comptroller Grout says, will
not pay the bills except when the courts
decide that they are fair and Just.

REBATES THE GREATEST EVIL.
MORE IMPORTANT TO TIE PUB
LILO THAN FIXING RATES.

MFR. Hines Says the Failure OF the Commits
sion to Prosecute Was Responsible
for Its Prevalence I'm the Past-ship-
pen oppose Government Matchmaking.
WASHINGTON, April 27-walker q. Hines,
representative Of the Atlantic Coast Line,
In continuing his argument against Govern
ment rate regulation before the Senate
Interstate Commerce Committee to-day
took up the subject Of Rebates, which
was, he said, a question Of far greater Inn
portance to the public than fixing rates,
because Il was more desirable that every
one be charged the same rate for the same
service. One Of his objections 10 the Each
Townsend bill was that It provided no adj
ditional safeguards against rebates.
On the other hand the rigidity Of the rates
10 be fixed by the Commission created by
the bill would be an additional incentive
TO the granting Of the rebates by the roads
Then, too, the present law made It easy
70 reach rebaters by Injunction in any
United States Circuit Court, whereas under
the proposed legislation such efforts would
be confined 10 one court the transportation
court.
The failure Of the commission 10 prose-
cute, he thought, had been Responsible lot
the prevalence Of rebating In the past,
and while 1t had new been almost completely
suppressed by the Ekins law 1t would soon
revive. As that was the greatest evil OF
the railroad question he urged legislation
which would enlarge the facilities Of the
commission for running down violators by
the appointment Of more special inspectors.
Another suggestion he made was that
the commission dispense with the long hear
ings in cases which would 60 to the courts.
It was a mere waste Of time on matters
which should be expedited.
p. B. Yates Of Beloit, Wis, q manufac-
turer Of wood working machinery, doing
business Of 81 500 900 yearly, was the
next witness. ExPrv ssinR the views Of
large shippers Of the Northwest, he pro-
tested against the placing OF the rate max
ing power In the hands Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. Government rates
could be made only on a mileage basis,
be asserted, and that would bring about a
Capitalization OF a localization Of business
that would be fatal. Under the existing
conditions competition hourished and he
was entirely satisfied.
