DOLLIVER.CLAPP
RATE BILL IS NEW
Senators Work Over the Inter
state Commerce Commission
g Measure.
Special to The Journal.


Chicago, Dec. .2O.-Raymond, in a
Washington special to the Tribune,
says: 49,
dnced what will be generally known as
the administration railroad rate bill.
Tt is the measure which originally was
considered by the interstate commerce
commission.
It is based, in the first place, on the
old Cullom amendment, which was
Killed several years ago by Senator ri,
kins. with the assistance of Aldrlch OF
Rhode Island, Kean of New Jersey ana
one or two other senators particularly
identified with railroad interests. This
Cullom amendment WIS reported ad-
yersely to the senate, because MAJOR
ity were against it and because Sena.
tor Cullom, who introduced it, insisted
that it should not be pigeon-holed.
Clapp Aided Dolliver,,
: Taking the amendment as a founda
ton stone, the interstate commerce
commission went over the subject and
prepared an extensive bill. That bill,
as a whole, was submitted to the at
tornev general and to the president. :,
: Since then Senator Dolliver and
Others, Including Senator Clapp Of
Minnesota, have taken the Interstate
commerce commission bill and have
applied the pruning knife to it most
successfully.
They have cut out some sections, re-
written others and generally have. sue
ceeded in formulating a new and eX-
tremely comprehensive bill. 1t en-
bodies all the president has ever asked
for, but it is by no means Extensively
radical. 1t enlarges the powers of the
interstate commerce commission, but
protects the real undisputed rights Of
the railroads. A rate made by the
commission will stand until upset by
the courts, but provisions are made by
which either the railroads OF the gov
eminent can secure quick decision of
the court, so that shippers will not be
long in finding out what they have to
pay for their freight. No new court in
created, but the interstate commerce
commission is enlarged SO as to con-
sist Of seven members, with n term of
seven years each and with salaries OF
$4,000 annually.
Not New Law.
This new bill, like the measure which
was suggested by the commission, IS
not an attempt to pass an entirely new
law. The original interstate commerce
commission law is ample basis for all
legislation. The Dolliver bill is, there
fore, merely series OF amendments to
the existing law. strengthening it
where it has been found to be partlcu-
larly weak, bearing it up where the
language has been shown to be OBJ
scure, and wiping out certain incongru.
titles which have crept into the law and
its various amendments.

CANAL COMMISSIONERS

Washington, Dec. 2O.-In the execu-

Morgan wanted the senate. to request
the return Of all the nominations for
isthmian canal commissioners, which
had heretofore been confirmed. He as
serted that the committee on inter-oce-

on the nominations, and the confrma-
lions were void.
The senate assented to the request
and the nominations were reconsidered
and referred to the ithmian canal COM

FORAKER SEEKS LIGHT
Ohio Senator Thinks Interstate Com
+ MERGE Board Slow.

Washington, Dec. 20.-When the sen;
ate met today Mr.. Foraker asked and
obtained leave to have printed the rec
ord in a number of cases recently be-
fore the interstate commerce commits
sion involving charges of dlserlmln-
alton in beef shipments. He said that
after taking. eognizance5 of the cases
the commission had not reached it's con-
clusion for almost, three years, whereas
the United States court. for the north
ern district of Illinois had taken the
matter up and reached q final decision
within five or six months. The mat
ter had been introduced, he said, for
the purpose of showing that existing
law affords remedy for many of the
evils of which complaint is made and
also to show that there is greater eel
Gritty in the courts than in the inter-
state commerce commission. The court
had, he said, reversed the finding of
the commission and he said that if the
commission s decision had gone into
would have suffered loss of $2,OOO,OON.
Foraker on Rebate.
. Mr.. Culberson called attention to the
recent speech of Mr.. Foraker, in which
the latter had said that since the FL
kins' law had gone into effect rebates
had practically ceased. Mr. Culber'
son SAID tnefe nad Deen recent 1nd1cC-
ments of railroad officials at Philadel.
phia and Chicago for taking rebates
He understood also that Mr.. Foraker
had opposed all further legislation.
Mr.. Foraker asserted he had not said
that there were no longer rebates, but
that he had said that there was ample
law for the punishment Of the taking
of rebates and he believed that if the
attorney general would enforce the law
as he is beginning to do, the practice
could be stopped.
What Congress Wants.
81. take it that congress does moi
want~ to legislate unless necessary
he said, and added that all that is nee
essary is to strengthen the law by
amendment.
II have all the time advocated legis
lation,' he said, and the only differ
ence between me and other senators il
as to the remedies to be applied.' -.
In the course. of his remarks: Mr.
Foraker referred to the fact that MI
Culberson in an interview had give1
his views on his (Foraker's) bill AM
said he had been astonished to observ
that so many senators were using tn
newspapers as vehicles for their view
on constitutional subjects, but he dis
claimed any Intention to reflect upol

MIltIoNAIRES PENSIONS.
Men of Great Wealth Seeks Govern
ment Aid to Get on Honor
Roll.

Washington, D. c., Nov. G.-Pen-
sions for millionaires is one of the
new developments under the execu-
tive order of last year making
age the only disability necessary for
the granting of service pension.
According to Commissioner of Pen
sions Warren, the application OF
millionaire for pension has been re-
Gently favorably passed upon. He
does not want the pension, for the
money, but simply to perfect his rec
ord of honorable service in the Civil
War.
This view of the age disability or
der is being taken by many well-to-do
veterans who would not otherwise ap-
ply for pensions. The fact that they
are eligibles and performed the Ser
vice stipulated in behalf OF the gov
ernment, and that the government is
willing to recognize this service by a
pension and the accompanying records
of the same, make the service pension
desirable addition to family rec
ords.
The commissioner does not look up
on this claim of pensions as an un-
desirable burden for the government
TO bear. He takes the view that the
money is used by the applicant to re-
lieye want.

years ago by George w. Hickox be-
tween the building committee of Mon

The Masons intend to use the entire
second story for lodge rooms for the
different Masonic bodies located in
this city, viz, Montezuma Lodge No.
1, A. +. and A. Masons, Santa Fe Chap
ter No. /, Royal Arch Masons, Santa
Fe Commandery No. /, Knights Temp
lar and Santa Fe Lodge of Perfection
No. /, A. & A. S. R. The intention
also is, If necessary, in due course OF
time, to add a third story to be used
for a Scottish Rite Cathedral. Within
the next few months, the second story
will be converted into suitable lodge
rooms for the bodies of the York Rite
of Free Masonry and into a Scottish
Rite hall, there being plenty OF room
for all purposes for the present. The
Masonic bodies here have taken the
necessary steps to raise the required
part of the purchase money and have
succeeded.
The building is a very substantial
one and the second story, with certain
adaptations and changes, will make
the finest lodge hall and rooms in the
Territory. The entire building will be
a Masonic Temple, of which New Mex
leo Masons may justly be proud
Plans for the modification OF the
second story and for suitable lodge
hall there will be procured as soon
as practicable, and WORK tneFeon VIII
commence in few months.
Although Masonic lodges have
been in existence in this city since
the time of the American occupation
in 1876, the Mfsons have not had a
building of their own since 1857. They
then owned building and grounds
for few years and up to 1857 on lots
located near the present Loretto
Academy. This building, which was
a two story adobe structure was swept
away by the floods of that year in the
Santa Fe River and the lots sold. They
have paid in rent since that time
thousands of dollars, which money
would have been trebled sufficient
to have constructed one of the largest
and finest buildings in the Territory
for their use.

ASK FOR ACCOUNTING.
Denver Men Want G. Hill Howard to
Render Report on Big Land
Deal.

Suit has been brought in Denver
by |. B. and J. G. Porter to compel
G. Hill Howard Of New Mexico to give
an accounting for the proceeds of a
sale involving the disposal OF 156,OOO
acres of ranch land. They ask that
a receiver be appointed.
The plaintiffs sold the land for How
ard sometime ago. The agreement,
the complaint AYERS, was that the net
price to be received by Howard was
IS cents per acre and that all none
which should be paid over and above
that amount should go to the Porters
for making the sale. The plainti
sold the lands for $250,0O0, just $132,
600 more than Howard had asked, ant
they claim that amount as their due.
