TO COME UP AGAIN.
The Esch-TOwnsend Bim VIII Again
 be Introduced.

De introduced.
 Milwaukee, Sept. 12.-The Esch- Townsend railroad rate bill will be in- troduced at the next session of Con- gress practically in the same form in which 1t passed the House of Represen- tatives at the last session. This was determined upon at a conference at the Hotel Pfister today between Con- gressman Charles E. Townsend of Jackson. Mich. and Congressman ]. J. Esch of La Crosse. Wis. who fathered the bill.
 The bill will be presented the same as the one which passed the House in February" said MT. Townsend. 'Tf anything It will be strengthened by a few changes which we have practically agreed upon. These changes are all made with a view to making the bill more specific and are largely merely alterations in the terminology.
 "The Senate committee has been having hearings on the subject this summer and some of these changes are the result of their suggestions For instance, the first bill provided that the commission should have power to reRu- late rates and practices. /I thought and still think that this provision covered private cars, but to make 1t stronger the private car will be speci- acally mentioned in the new bill.
 "The object of the bill Is to clothe the commission with the power that 1t was always intended to have. That is, fine power not only to declare a rate | iTeqal. but to substitute for such rate | n IegaI one have every hope that if will pass at this session."

Important Cases Before LauderdnIe
 Grand Jury

Florence Sept. 1t.--(Special )--The Lauderdale County grand jury Is still in session and it's iabors will continue the balance of the week. Seventeen indictments have been returned up to this time The criminal court calendar will be taken up next Monday. when the case of Dee shelton, convicted at the last term of court of the murder, of his Uncle Monk" Hammond. will be given a second hearing. Shelton was given life sentence, but his case was reversed by the Supreme Court on a technicality. John and Bun Clark, two white men under indictment for the killing of Hal Walston, a negro. will be tried at this term of court. Probably the most interesting trial at this term will be that of Nolen Gris- ham. charged with assault with intent to murder his brother-in-law. Adcar Thornton. The alleged assault took place within fifty yards of a church at whitehead, where a protracted meet ing was in progress. Though there were no witnesses to the affair forty witnesses have testified before the grand jury.
 During the storm late yesterday evening lightning struck an electric ear near the Southern depot. The troll ley was burned out and thet car so badly disabled that 1t was necessary to pull it back to the shops. None ok the passengers was injured.

PRIVATE CAR LINES
WILL BE THE OBJECr OF CONGRESS
 SIGNAL LEGISLATION.
They Will Have to Go and Railroads Must Do the Work-And Make tue Charges.
washingtop Special to New Orleans

Washington Special to New Orleans Times Democrat.
 Commission predict that the private car line business as now conducted | separately and apart from the railroads
 Cease S to exist. This is Indicated, they they | say. by the attitude of the railroads | as well as the certainty that if the
 private car lines continue as at present organized they will be placed under
 regulations such as govern the rail- roads
 This subject has assumed prominence at this time as a result of replies now | being received by the Commission to the complaints that charges for re- frigeration on fruits from California and on vegethables from the South and Southwest to New York are unjust and l unreasonable, and that the private ear lines had paid rebates and were guilty of determinations.
 The answers received thus far indi- cate in a general way the line of de- fense which the private car lines will
 take in opposing the efforts of Con upon them The answers also show most clearly what the position of the different railroads of the country is to be toward the private car lines. It develops, and 1t is the opinion unoffi- cially of members of the Interstate Commerce Commission, that the rail- roads have decided absolutely to wash their hands of the private lines and accept no responsibility for them what ever. In every answer made thus far the railroads disclaim any responsibil- ity for the making of charges and even for the collection of the charges of the private car lines. They assert without qualification that they do not act even as agents for the concerns furnishing refrigeration.
 The private car lines seem, In their answers, to have been apprised of this attitude on the part of the railroads, because their replies almost paraphrase those of the railroads In declaring that they are not the agents of the railroads and the railroads are not their repre- sentatiVes in any sense.
 As having bearing on the future
 Legislation. governing railroad rates
 and reaching the private car evil. 1t Is now well established that the Inter- state Commerce Commission, the Sem ate Committee on Interstate Commerce
 and all of the great railroads of the the private car lines must go. It IS
 evident that the latter. in opposing re-
 strictive legislation, will have to make A member of the Interstate Com
 merce Commission. speaking unofficial-
 Tt looks now as though the Presi- dent would succeed in getting legisla- ton which will destroy the present system of private car lines and force the railroads into the necessity of fur nishing refrigeration and other facill- ties for the handling of perishable freight If they do this they will be responsible for the charges in connec- tion with such facilities under the law, just as they now are for the ordinary will have to publish. regular schedules of rates, and hence the commission will exercise its right under the law of reg ulating them.

Advertiser Bureau,

6elfid, sept. lS.
 At the August meeting of the City Council W. R. Shafer presented to that body petition signed by a great many of the merchants of the city asking that the issuance of license to the itfnerant merchants of the city be stopped In the future. Since the presentation of that petition no such license has been granted, but the merchants who had signed the petition expected that an ordinance would be passed at the meet Ing last night which in the future would stop the issuing of such licenses.
 The petition presented to the last meeting of the Council cited the fact that the merchants of the city who had signed the petition presented did business in the city the year round: 1t made no difference whether the season of the year was dull or not they kept their places of business open. It also cited the fact that the itinerant mer- chants with. their pushcarts and stands did business only through the busy sea- sons of the year. and that if crowd gathered in front of the store of merchant who kept open the year round they would push their carts in front of this store and ply their trade among the people congregated there.
 During the past month an ordinance was drawn up to cover this matter and would have passed last night at the
 
 been for the misunderstanding of one of the members of that body. As 1t was this ordinance was referred to the committee of the Council on license and taxation, which will report on the matter at the next regular meeting of that body, but in the meantime 1t is understood that no license will be is- sued to the tourist merchants
 Police Court.
 The room in the City Hall where Po- lice Court Is held was crowded this morning by large number of specta- tors. both white and negroes. The magnet that drew the crowd to the court room was doubtless the cases against the young men who were ar rested Sunday afternoonA for shooting craps at Elkdale Park. A number of other cases besides these were on the docket of the court. but in them all there was nothing of a sensational na- ture. The number of cases before the court this morning was sixteen, and the amount of fines assessed was $160.
 Walter Lewis. Solomon Ford and Charles Wright answered to the charge of disorderly conduct All three of them work for the Southern Railway and last night just as they were going out on a freight train they got into scrap in the yards about lantern and a switch key. Wright reported the disturbance to the police and had war rants issued for the other two The arresting officer discovered that Wright was the cause of the disturbance and also arrested him. It was later dis covered that Wright had been lodging the paying of his street tax and war rant for that was Issued against him. It was proved that all three of them were guilty of the charge of disorderly conduct and a fine of $5 each was as- sessed against them, or ten days on the
