$ m Discussion.
THE VOTE STANDS s26 TO II.
Democratic Leaders Compliment Re-
pubIieans on Their Almost unanl-
nous Passage of the Eseh-Town-
send Freight Rate Bill.

Washington, Feb. 11.-Aftef nearly
four days of discussion, the house, by
vote of 326 to II, passed the Esch-
Townsend bill providing for the regu.
lation of freight rates. The negative
vote was made up of IL Republicans
and six Democrats.
The closing hours of the debate
were occupied by Messrs. Williams
(Miss.), the minority leader, and
Hepburn Qowa). chairman of the
committee which reported the bill.
Mr. Williams, while supporting the
minority measure, even though he
said he knew it could not pass, COM
plimented the Republicans for bring
ing in a bill which was much better
than he expected would come from
them.
The speech of Mr.. Hepburn was
rather in defense of himself. He said
that his deeds and acts were a suffi-
clent answer to the lies and sland-
ers which had been heaped upon
him. The bill known as the Hepburn
bill. he said, had been prepared by
the attorney general, and he only
yielded to his colleagues. on the COM
mittee on the Esch-Townsend bill be-
cause he did not want sensational
headlines. He devoted some time to
a strong presentation of the merits
of the majority measure
The agricultural appropriation bill
was then taken up and on a point of
order by Mr.. Teller the amendment
authorizing the secretary of agri-
culture to accept gifts of land for
forest reserve purposes was stricken
out.
The military academy appropria-
ton bill, which was completed today
by the senate committee, carries ap-
preparations aggregating s677,973, as
compared with the house bill of
s669, 233.
Senator Elkins reported the Ameri-
can registry bill. The bill provides
that foreign vessels wrecked on the
American coast shall not be admitted
to American registry until repairs
have been made in American ship
yards equal to three-fourths of the
value of the vessel The present law
requires that the repair made in
American yards be equal to two
thirds of the vessel to admit the YES
sci to registry. The bill further
amends the law by providing that such
vessel shall not be permitted to en-
gage in the coastwise trade. Senator
Elkins submitted a report showing
that more than 700 such vessels had
been admitted to American registry
under the present laws and that more
than half that number had been ad-
mitted within twenty years. The bill
as reported today was amended so as
not to apply to vessels wrecked prior
to the passage of the bill.

cutive session, and at $50 adjourn

INVESTIGATION BY SENATE.
Summer Months Will be Spent Locking
Into Freight Rates.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE resolu-
ton to be introduced in the senate by
Mr.. Kean of New Jersey, providing
that the committee on interstate CON-
mercc shall sit during the summer for
the investigation of freight rate leg
islation, will not be offered until it
has been approved by the committee
1t had been announced that the reso-
luton would be presented in the SEN
ate today. The interstate commerce
committee will meet Saturday to con-
slider the resolution.
The plan to have the senate COM
mittee investigate thoroughly the sub
iect of rate legislation has been ap-
proved by a large number of senators
of both parties. 1t is said that the
committee will work along the lines
of perfecting the Esch-Townsend bill
and Incorporating in that measure a
provision to reach private car lines.
The idea is that if the committee is
ready to report in October or the
first of November notice shall be sent
TO the president, and if he is so in
clined an extra session may be call
ed. Should there be a demand from
any senator for immediate considera-
ton OF the house bill it is planned to
ascertain the sentiment of passing a
rate bill at the present session by
vote on the proposed Kean resolu-
ton,

hood bill as it passed the senate did
not reach the house today, as was ex.
pected. Nevertheless there has been
lively work in that body on the part
of the friends and opponents of the
measure in it's new form. When the
bill is received it will be referred to
the committee on territories. There
is little doubt that this committee will
ask for a conference. Should this &C.

its present form will demand vote on
a motion to concur in all of the senate
amendments. 1t is understood that the
Democrats of the house will support
this motion, and the claim is made to-
night that at least 81 Republicans
have been secured to support it also.
This would insure concurrence, SO
that the remaining step in the state
hood plan would simply be the sig
nature of the president to make the
bill law.

All Work for Standard Oil Company
Has Been Ordered Stopped.
PRODUCERS SORELY DISTRESSED
This Action is Said to Be Due to the
Present Agitation Against the
Company in Kansas Will Turn
Men Out and Cancel Many Con-
tracts.

Lima, o.. Feb. 13.-General Man
pany's interests in Ohio. Indiana and
Kansas. confirms the report that all
work for the Standard has been or
dered stopped in the Kansas field. In
explanation he showed the following
telegram sent to the heads of all the
departments:
w. ]. Young, president OF the
Pacific Oil and Gas Company, has
telegraphed me that on account of the
present agitation in regard to our
business in Kansas our credit is be-
ing injured and we are unable to Sc
cure loans which are necessary for
our company to get in order to carry
out the work we have contemplated
in taking care of the oil produced by
building tanks and pipe lines, and we
will have to stop all Of the work.
Please give instructions accordingly,
and stop all work in the field that can
be stopped without liability on con-
tracts, and have it done Immediately.
Any contracts for tank iron or pipe
purchased which can be cancelled we
will have done and notify you of the
result There must be no more work
done in the field in the way of in
creasing facilities or building of new
tanks. -
This refers also to pipe lines you
are constructing. Please stop work
on them at once. Give necessary in
structions by telegraph in accordance
with the above and see that they are
carried out
- (Signed) D. J. O'DAY. Manager. -
The action of the Standard Oil
Company in closing down all its
works In the Kansas field is a hard
blow to the operators and was the
sole topic among them today. Hun
dreds of producers who left Lima to
try to get luck in Kansas will lose
heavily, many of them having every
dollar they possessed invested.
One of the wealthiest operators in
Lima says the result can scarcely be
estimated and that the drillers will
be compelled to abandon the leases
unless the restriction is raised.
Manager O'Day of the Standard Oil
Company, declined to add any state
ment to what was made in the official
telegram given to the Associated
Press today, nor could he say what
provision would be made for the large
number of employees sent from Lima
and other points.

February is a month of severe storms
and intense cold.
Even in the South where the prevail
ing temperature is much above wintry
ATTITUDES, February brings sudden
changes of temperature.
Mercury sometimes drops 20 degrees
in a single night.
Therefore, the following health hints
are applicable to the whole of North
America:
Ventilation.
The sleeping rooms should be well
ventilated, but so as to avoid direct
currents of air.
Bathing.
Those in vigorous health should take
cold water towel bath every morning
before breakfast. Those in feeble
health should take brisk dry-towel-
rub every morning.
DIET
including meat, and occasionally fresh
vegetables.
Sunshine.
The nights being long and the days
short, as much sunshine as possible
should be let into the house during
the day.
Clothing.
The head should be kept cool at all
times. The feet should be kept warm
and dry, day and night.
Pe.ru-na
When unavoidably exposed to cold or
wet, few doses of Peruna will avert
bad consequences.
Precaufion.
When seized with chill. or even
slight chilliness, dose of Peruna
should be taken at once.

While 8 Voted Against It.
Topeka, Feb. 10.-The bill establish
ing branch penitentiary and state
oil refinery at Peru, Kas., passed the
senate today by vote of 20 to s.
Those who voted for the bill were:.
Benedict, Benson, Belts, Baker. Brew
er, Carver. Conner, Fitzpatrick, Getty,
Gilbert, Griffin, Hamme, Harrison.
Haskell, Hayden, Hodges, Huffman,
Hughes, Martin of Woodson, Martin
of Bourbon, Noftzger, Peck, Porter of
Crawford. Porter of Montgomery,
Quincy, Simons, Smith of Edwards,
Stewart and Waggener. Those who
voted against the bill were: Dolley,
Fulton, Lower, Smith of Franklin,
Shilling Tucker, Wilkerson and Young.
The absentees we're: Buschow, Chap
man and Miller.
Nearly every lawyer in the senate
expressed doubt as to the constitu-
tionality of the bill, still most of them
voted for it.
Benedict in explaining his vote for
the bill, said he believed it was de.
parture from safe and sane govern
mental policies, and that the agitation
was the result of the wave of indigna-
ton that was sweeping over the state
against the Standard Oil trust. How
ever, his constituents seemed to want
it, and he would sink his personal
Judgment and vote as they wished.
Dolley said the reason he was op
posed to the bill was that it carried
too large an appropriation. He was
in favor of state refinery for expert
mental purposes.
Getty expressed doubt as to the
validity of the act. but said that If he
erred he wanted to err on the side of
the people; not on the side of the
trust.
ism, he was a socialist. The consti-
tuition was meant to protect the peo-
pie against tyranny and if the present
one didn't protect he was in favor of
one that would.
Tucker, in voting against 1t, said
his vote would not decide the fate of
the bill. His judgment was that it was
unwise legislation, and, notwithstand-
ing the wave of public sentiment at
this time for the refinery, he would not
change his mind.
