RATE BILL HAS
PASSED HOUSE
1t Goes Through by an Over
whelming Vote of $40
to II
SUPPORTED BY THE DEMOCRATS

Washington, Feb. 10.-After nearly
four days of discussion, the house, by
a vote of 326 to II, passed the Esch-
Townsend bill, providing for the regu-
lation Of freight rates. The negative
vote was made up of III Republicans
and six Democrats.
The closing hours Of the debate were
occupied by Messrs. Williams, of Mis-
sissippi, the minority leader, and Hep
burn, Of Iowa. chairman of the com
mittee which reported the bill. Mr.,
Williams. while supporting the minor
ity measure even though he said he
knew it could not pass, complimented
the Republicans for bringing in a bill
which was much better than be ex-
pected would come from them. The
speech Of Mr.. Hepburn was rather in
defense Of himself. He said that his
deeds and acts were a sufficient answer
to the lies and ISLANDERS" which had
been heaped upon him. The bill known
as the Hepburn bill, he said, had been
prepared by the attorney general, and
he only yielded 10 his colleagues on
the committee on the Esch-Townsend
bill because he did not want the COM
mittee to be the target for scribblers
who wanted sensational headlines. He
devoted some time to a strong presen-
tation OF the maiOritY's measure.

Discussing the merits Of the bill. Mr..
Williams said the country had waited
and waited for the railroads them
selves to do it justice. He agreed in
part with Mr.. Mccall (Mass.), who had
said the right to fix rates was dam
gerous power to confer on seven men,
but he argued it was a choice between
evils, as only about seven great rail-
roads, acting in conjunction with one
another were directing the stream Of
American commerce in the channels
they wished, and discriminating wher-
ever they saw fit. If the fixing Of rates
was TO be lodged in some hands. Mr..
Williams said he preferred it to be a
government tribunal. weak and in
effective as such tribunals are"
Declaring that he spoke as a con-
servative, as he was not radical. Mr..
Williams said the time may come when
all the country, except the south.
would be advocating government own
ership of railroads. The south would
never support that proposition. be-
cause they had the old-fashioned idea
come too thoroughly centralized. They
were further opposed to government
ownership, because they knew the gov
ernment would not operate separate
coaches for the whites and blacks.
The Townsend bill. he said. in con-
clusion, was much better bill than
he ever thought would come from the
Republican side of the chamber.

MORTON mAKLs A DENIAL
MldVale's Bid For Armor Not Rejected
Because They Sub-let Contract.

Because They Sub-let Contract.
Washington, Feb. 10. % Secretary
Morton authorized an emphatic denial
of the report that the department in
rejecting the bid of the Midvale Steel
company had been actuated by the fact
that the Midvale company had sub-let
to the Bethlehem Steel company a part
of the armor plate contract awarded in
October, 1908. The secretary further
authorized the statement that the rea-
son for the rejection of the Midvale
bid was due entirely to the report Of
the board of naval experts, who de-
cided that it would be a mistake at the
present time TO award further con-
tracts to the Midvale company for
armor plate. The secretary added that
the navy department always has ap-
preciated the action of the Midyale
Steel company in granting the request
Of the department by surrendering a
portion of its contract for the sole pur-
pose Of remedying an embarrassing
position in which the navy department
otherwise would have found itself in
its relations with the shipbuilders.
''The department" concluded the sec
retary, has nothing but pleasant
words to say OF this action of the Mid
vale company"
Representative Rixey. OF Virginia,
introduced a resolution in the house,
calling on the secretary Of the navy
for his reasons for the alleged can
ceiling of the contract OF the Midvale
Steel company and rejecting the bid OF
that company of February z last on
armor plate work.

OF real novelty and comedy features OF
