Revision of Freight Rates
is Discussed.
DEMOCRATSARE EAGER
Williams Says He's Glad to Find the
President a Better American Than
a Republican. Miles Relieved
of the Law Aimed at
Him.
(By TIE Associated Press )

Washington, Jan. 26.-The Agricul-
tpral Appropriation Bill was consider
ed in the House today, but the debate
turned principally on the topic of re-
stricting the railroads in the matter
OF freight rates. AS If impatient to
deal with the subject, the Hepburn
R:ll although not before the House
and which probably will not be for
several days, formed the basis of the
discussion. A feature of the debate
was the statement by Mr.. Williams,
OF Missouri, who said that on the sub
ject of revision of rates, the Demo-
cratic party was committed without
add .tion or subtraction to the recon-
mendations of resident Roosevelt in
his recent message. The Democrats,
he said, were glad to have the Presi-
dents views, because 1t was Demo-
cratic doctrine 1t ought. he said, to
tie American doctrine, and he said he
was olny toog lad that the President
was more of an American than a Re-
publican or Democrat. I'VE will toe
mark MS tracks on this subject" de-
clared Mr.. Williams, amid general APP
rlause, and" he added facing the
Republican side, 1--WE call on you as
American citizens to help to toe-mark
them,"
