AGREE ON RATE BILL

House Committee FaVors Extending
Authority of Interstate Commission.
Washington, Jan. 81. - The house
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce by a party vote authorized
a favorable report to the house on a
bill extending authority to the inter
state commerce commission to fix
rates, increasing the size of the com
mission from five to seven members,
and creating a court of transporta-
tion," to hold four sessions a year
The bill is a combination of the Bsch-
Townsend measures, with Amendments
taken from the Hepburn bill.
The bill, as reported, contains %
sections. Sections 1 and extend au-
thority to the interstate commerce
commission whenever, after full hear
ing. it has declared any existing rate
for the transportation Of persons or
property to be unreasonable or un-
justly discrimi 4atory, to declare and
order what shall be a just and rea-
sonable rate, practice or regulation to
be charged, imposed or followed in the
future in place of that found to be
unreasonable or unjustly discrimina-
tory and the order of the commission
shall, of its own force, become oper-
ative 80 days after notice has been
given to the person or persons direct
ly affected thereby, but at any time
within 90 days from date of such no
tice any person may institute proceed
ings in the court of transportation, sit
ting as a court of equity, to have it re-
viewed and its lawfulness, justness or
unreasonableness determined.

IRVINE DROPS
TALBOT FICHH
Deposed Rector Makes Statement in
Which He AbandOns Charges.
aIvES HIS SIDE OF THE CASE

Philadelphia. Feb. l. Announcing
that he has abandoned his fight for re-
instatement to the priesthood of the
Protestant Episcopal Church, Rev. DR..
l. N. w. Irvine made what he calls a
complete statement of the real facts
in the case, at the same time Offering
full forgiveness to Right Rev. Ethel
bert Talbot, bishop of the diocese Of
Central Pennsylvania, for any injury
the bishop may have done him.
Dr. Irvine declares he was not
charged with either "crime" or i'm
morality" in the presentment which
Bishop Talbot signed against him, and
he asserts that neither word was ut
tered by Bishop Talbot's lawyers dur
ing the ecclesiastical trial Of the de-
posed priest. He says he was charged
with conduct unbecoming a minister
of this church" which has since
ceased to be an offense in the disci-
plinary canon. One of the specifica-
tions under this offense was that DR..
Irvine had circulated false reports re-
garding Mrs. Emma D. Elliott, but the
specification was nolle pressed, and
Dr. Irvine claims he was deposed be-
cause he had offended Mrs. Elliott and
had not taken the blame of her eX-
communication on his own shoulders.
DR. Irvine devotes considerable
space to the famous Upjohn letter
which resulted in his attempt to pre-
sent Bishop Talbot
Concerning the civil suit recently
entered against Bishop Talbot, DR..
Irvine says:
Bishop Talbot has twice evaded
the service OF a summons in this city.
If he were not guilty he never would
have run away, but would have court
ed an investigation to the finish. DR..
Irvine's only object has been to get
vindication.
''Never have there been any more
sincere and heroic efforts made on the
part of any man to show the church |
and the world that he has been falsely |
accused and unjustly treated than by
the writer of this article" says DR..
Irvine.
"Never has there been more deliber- |
ate lying, improper influence, intrigue,
as we'll as the vile use of money and |
power, than have been called upon to
shield wrong-doing and to hide the
light from the public.
81 do not know what else can be
done with Bishop Talbot, who has
brought such a scandal on the church
and such sorrow to others but to for
give him." says Dr. Irvine, and
herewith freely and without reser-
vation offer him full and free pardon
as if he were standing on the last
great day before the Judgment throne
Of Jesus Christ, our Incarnate God"

MORE LAND FRAUD INDICTMENTS

Federal Grand Jury Returns Another
Charge Against Senator Mitchell.
Portland, Ore, Feb. AFTER many
days Of silence the federal grand jury
returned three indictments in connec-
tion with the investigation into the
land fraud cases which, it is alleged,
have been perpetrated upon the United
States government.
The first indictment is against
United States Senator John H.

Kinley, Emma L. Watson, Daniel Tar
pley, Elbert K. Brown, Nellie Brown,
his wife; Henry A. Young, Frank H.
Walgamot, Clark E. LOomis and Sal
mon B. Ormsby.
Senator Mitchell is specifically
charged with having at Washington,
D. c., on March 3, 1902, uniSwfully
prepared an affidavit for Emma L.
Watson to sign, in which Mrs. Watson
untruthfully swore that she was a
bona fde settler on a portion OF these
lands. 1t also charges that Senator
Mitchell prepared unlawfully an afi-
davit for S. A. D. Puter to sign, in
which Puter is alleged to have sworn
that he knew that the contents of the
Watson affidavit were true. The in
dictment charges that Mitchell re-
ceived as a compensation for his al
legged services the sum of $4,000, paid
to him by Puter. The indictment goes
on to state that in pursuance of the
conspiracy, Senator Mitchell intro
duced Puter to William A. Richards
as the commissioner of the general
land Office at Washington, stating that
Puter was one of the most honorable
citizens in the state,
The other indictments are against

of Conspiracy to Raise Prices.
Washington, Jan. 31.-The supreme
court of the United States decided the
case of the United States versus Swift
& Co., known as the beef trust case,
charging conspiracy among the pack
ers to fix prices on fresh meats, etc.
The opinion was handed down by JUS
tice Holmes, and affirmed the decision
of the court below, which was against
the packers.
In his opinion Justice Holmes dis
cussed at length the various conten-
tions of the packers and disposed Of
them individually. He admitted that
some of the charges were less specific
than desirable, but said this was
necessarily true on account of the
vast field covered.
He added that sufficient had been
shown to prove continuous offense and
an offense of such a nature as to JUS
tify the proceeding. The opinion con-
tinues the injunction granted against
the packers under the Sherman anti
trust law by the lower courts. The
opinion was concurred in by all the
members of the court.
