En- route to their southern camp,
the brothers seemed to have eXchang-

somber; Rufus, happy and jubilant.
When they pitched camp and the first
mail came in, there was letter for
Dick from Kate, and he tore it open
with his first expression of happiness.
Rufus braced himself now for the
inevitable disclosure and the hot quar-

Dicks expression of surprise at the

Fourteen Returned Against Car
 riers, Shippers and Agents
SIMILAR CHARGES MADE
Some Correspond to Those Made By the Federal Grand Jury on De- cember 13-Conspiracy
 Is Charged

Kansas City, December 15.-Fourteen indictments were returned by the federal grand jury here today against common carriers, railway officials, shippers and freight agents charging the giving of rebates and conspiracy to gain rebates.
 The indictments were returned as fol- lows:
 George H. Crosby of Chicago, general traffic manager of the Chicago, Burlins- ton and Quincy railroad.
 George L. Thomas, 320 Broadway, New York, a merchandise broker.
 L. B. Tagget, New York, Crosby's chief clerk.

 Swift & Co.
 The Armour Packing company.
 The Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad company.
 Nelson Morris, Edward Morris and Ira N Morris, comprising the partnership of Nelson Morris & Co.,
 D. H. Kreskip, Kansas City, freight broker
 The charges against the Chicago and Alton and Messrs. Foithorn and Wann are identical with those made in the in- dictments returned by the federal grand jury at Chicago on December l3.
 Two indictments were returned against George l.. Thomas of New York who Is alleged to have held a contract with the Burlington by the terms of which he was to receive a certain percentage or the freight rates paid on all shipments more than a certain specified tonnage from New York to Kansas City and vice versa
 The investigation made by the grand jury revealed the fact that Thomas had agencies at Kansas City, Omaha. Chca- go. St. Louis, Milwaukee and other cities.
 The indictments against the packing companies charge that they entered Into a contract with the Burlington railroad to accept concessions on shipments or their products from East St. Louis to New York for export. The grand Jury charges that the agreement thus entered into provided for rate of 23 cents a hun dred pounds on these products. This was in July 1905 The agreement was to con tinue in force until January l, 1905 The local rates applied on these shipments between Kansas City and St. Louis.
 In August 1905 the joint rate on pack ing house products was raised by the joint traffic association to 35 cents between East St. Louis and New York. The Bur lington. nevertheless, 1t is declared, lived up to it's 23 cents agreement with the packers in Kansas City, and under which agreement it practically carried all the hacking house products from this city, ex- cent those of the Schwarzschild & Stz- berger Packing company.

HARRIjMAN ADDS CHAPTER TO
 THE STRENUOUS INTERVIEWS
BRAINS ACTING AS AN
 ELECTRIC PHENOMENON

San Francisco, December 15.-Dr. Albert B. Atkins, of this city, claims to have proved by an experiment made on steer in the stock yards at Butchertown, that brain action is an electrical phenomenon. His theory has the support of Capt. D. Wldman of the United States signal corps, who assisted him in the experi- ment. The appartus used consisted of two platinum electrodes connected with a long copper wire running to very sen sitive galvanometer. The electrodes were inserted into two lobes of the brain or a living steer. After the first culver caus- ed by the insertion of the platinum points the animal lay quiet and yet the needle of the galvanometer was defected four points on the scale and remained so for

Washington, December 15.-The Panama canal was again under consideration by the Senate today and MT Tillman occu- pied the time given to the subject cx- cept when he gave way to questions from or interruptions by other senators. He did not indicate any intention of oppos- ing the passage of the appropriation bill. but he criticized the methods of the canal commission in many of its transactions. He raised the questions as to whether President Shonts is still in the employ of the Glover Leaf railroad, and said that the railway register still carries his name as the head of that road. He also sharply criticized the employment of Secretary Bishop press represent tative, and MT. Hale joined in this cen sure saying that MT. Bishops employ ment in that capacity is reflection not only on Congress but on the press. A part of MT Tillman's remarks devoted to a criticism of the Presidents policy in Santo Domingo. and MT. Spooner de- tended the Presidents course When the Senate adjourned the bill was still pend- ing but there was no agreement for a vote tomorrow.
 Before the Panama bill was taken up, the Senate adopted a resolution calling upon the postmaster general for informa- ton as to whether there is discrimination between college publication in the mat ter of admission to the mails as second. class matter

He had hardly begun when message from the Senate was re- ceived announcing that the Senate had passed d Senate bill removing disabilities from the canal bonds. MT.

 Mir Payne explained that the Senate bill was clearly a revenue measure and should have originated in the House This staJ- ment was met with applause which con tinued when Mir Williams, the minority leader, took the same position.
 Without further debate q rising vote was had. As everyone stood up in favor of the resolutions the speaker announced while the House burst into laughter "3S6 members have voted in the affirmative. There were no opposing votes
 The Aggression occupied less than ten minutes when MT. Shirley resumed. He opposed a reference of the subject either to the ways and means or interstate and foreign commerce committees.

THE PRESIDENT ON
 JUVENILE REFORM
ROOSEVELT EXPRESSES HEARTY SYMPATHY IN MOVEMENT TO HAVE INTERSTATE SCHOOL OF CORRECTION IN THE SOUTH.

Washington, December 15.-President Roosevelt today addressed delegates rep resentng the southern states who are here to consider the establishment in the south of an interstate school of cor rection for dependent and delinquent chill dren. The delegates gathered in response to a request from the Central Reforma- tory of Georgia, and committee with Judge w. R. Hammond as chairman, was appointed to advise with southern gov ernors and representatives regarding plans. President Roosevelt received the delegates to the White House today. He said:
 About all I can say to you is to ex- press my hearty sympathy with and be- lief in your purpose. The time of my life when I was brought into closest touch with conditions similar to those which you are trying to remedy was while l was police commissioner in New York City. At that time by closest friend and asso- ciate in all of my work was MT. Jacob Riis, with whose books and writings you are all more or less familiar.

that electrical foi IS developed in the lungs and hearts of animals, and in paper recently read before the San Fran cisco county society of physicians and surgeons he argued the mystery Of graVi- tation could only be solved by attribut- ing it to electrical action.

 the Senate.
STATES SHOULD CONTROL

Washington, December 15.-The House today devoted four and three-quarter hours to lively debate on the possibilities of controlling insurance companies Two set speeches were the features. One by MT. Shirley of Kentucky bore on the doctrine of states rights, and the other by MT. Cochran of New York related to the actions of the officers who manage the big life insurance companies of his state MT. Cochran proposing that Con gress through its taxing power should confine all insurance companies to the state In which they are organized.
 MT, Mann of Illinois outlined a proposed means of control he will later present in the form of bill, leaving 1t to the in- surance companies to voluntarily submit to federal examination and approval. Mr. Williams, the minority leader, concluded the debate, holding that control was pos sible but not through the taxing powers.
 Digresslons were indulged in, first to send a message to the Senate returning it's bill regarding canal bonds as an usur- patton of the constitutional rights of the House to originate revenue legislation and to discuss hazng at Annapolis. No conclusion was reached on the appoint ment of d committee in reference to the insurance feature of the Presidents mes sage, which was the matter under con- sideration, and the debate will proceed to- morrow.
 An effort was made when the House met today to limit further debate on the ques- tion of the committee reference of the Presidents message. So many requests were made for a time that an attempt to set time for vote was abandoned
 This is as good time as any to get the speech off," suggested Champ Clark of Missouri.
