RAILWAY RATE BILL
is REDRAWN AND
AGAIN INTRODUCED
lly Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The Esch-
Townsend RAILROAD rate bill, which
passed the house at its last session, has
ben redrawn and was reintroduced in
the house today by Mr.. Townsend.
The bill embraces all the features Of
the former measure but is drawn so as
to specify the things which may be done
by the Interstate commerce commits
sion. In addition it has publicity
feature, and gives the commission
Jurisdiction over refrigeration and
terminal charges.
The bill also directly prohibits the
carrier from granting any shipper the
privilege of collecting his product and
then getting a special rate under the
short term pro ision for changing rates
AS explained today by Mr.. Townsend,
the bill expresses the ideas of the
president in his message, and will, If
enacted into law, amend the inter-
=, state commerce law so as to make it
more effectual in securing exact JUS
tice between the carriers, shippers, pro-
rucers and consumers.
THE bill amends the law so al to EN-
brace within the powers OF the oonnlis-
sion all Interstate carriers Of interstate
and foreign commerce, whether by rail-
roads or partly BY railroads and partly
by water, and includes specifically In
the term transportation all cars, vehi-
cles, ventilation, refrigeration, eleVa-
tion, transfer, storage and all other ia
cilities and instrumentalities of ship
ment and carriage, as well as terminal,
siding and industrial tracks. thus CIV
ing the commission authority over the
so-called private car and other agen-
cies.
AboIishes Many Evils
THE redrawal bill enlarges the inter
state commerce commission to seven
members, increasing the length of their
term of office to seven years, and their
salaries to $4,000 This is done at the
presidents suggestion, as the increased
power conferred on the commission will
| increase it's duties and responsibilities
and require the best men obtainable.

ton of estimates of Secretary of state

course in the fiscal year ending June

today by Secretary of the Treasury
Shaw. Secretary of State Root asks
for the appropriation of $17.50O to pay
an ambassador at Toxic stating that
the president will name an amba ssador
to take the place Of the American
minister. Mr.. Root also asks $4,000 to
pay minister to Norway, this increase
being necessary because or the separa-
ton of Sweden and Norway.
Secfetary Root recommends increase
In the salaries of many ministers and
urges the complete readjusttnent Of
salaries in the consular service. He ex-
presses regret at the poor housing of
many of the Legations and consulates,
and urges the purchase of suitable
buildings.
In support of the recommendation
that building be purchased in Con-
stantinople, Secretary Root attaches to
the communication letter from Min
lister Leishmann at that capital in
which he says that the building now oc-
cuped by the legation, which is abb

Mr.. Parsons body was taken to the
seventh police station, according to po-

So far superficial examination failed
to reveal single injury or even bruise

pears perfectly natural.
Until the police investigation is con-

coach both disappeared Immediately
after the accident. and have not yet
been arrested.

Mr.. Cochran Questions Hepburn

This statement furnished the text for
a lively speech by Bourke Cochran of
New York, who demanded to know If
members of the house were to blindly
follow estimates, what we're they here
for? If that was the case. he didn't
want to occupy his position on the
house floor. He asked Mr. Hepburn
what the president meant when he said
in his message:
Il earnestly recommend to the con-
gress the need of economy and to this
end rigid scrutiny of appropriations"
If the power of appropriation is su-
perhuous and impertinent,' continued
Mr. Cochran. at is all a nlockery. But
l ask this house to declare now that
this function is not impertinence, but
pertains to the oath which we took no
longer ago than Monday which in
cludes that the treasury shall be guard
ed by us and not in perfunctory
manner"
Mr. Hepburn retorted that he did
not propose that the gentleman from
New York should make him RESPONSE
Bile for statement he had not made,
He had not denied the right Of scrutiny
of any member of the house with re-
gard to appropriations.
After some further debate the house,
at 4:45 .. m, adjourned with the un-
derstanding that the bill will be read
for amendment and put ON it's passage

who declared that the s10oO00o0 paid by the United
States to Panama was no more less than
payment to the ntrigants and oonspirators there.
who organized in this city under the very shadow

Mr.. Obarrio. after explaining that he one
OF the eight who planned the separation Of
Panama from Colombia, says:
According to the Hay-Herran treaty. approved by
the United States Senate. and the rejection Of
which by Colombia the main cause OF the
separation Of Panama, the United states agreed TO
pay the Republic of Colombia 100000 for GER
tain privileges, and according to the Hay-Bunau
Varflla treaty, approved by the republic OF Pana-
ma and by the United States Senate the same sum
paid for securing even greater privileges. AT
the time this paid the republic of Panama
was a perfectly constituted nation, recognized by
all but two of the countries of the globe The SlO-
100000 have been disposed Of in this manner:
100000 invested in mortgages In New York real

OF our silver with United States gold. at the rate
of two silver dollars for gold dollar. The rest

II last, In reply to yours Of June o. In which you
advised the course which has actually been
taken and which has been signally justified
by the event. 1 wrote you that In my judg-
ment In your own, you would have been
wholly without justification In proceeding indi-
vidually against the officers of the company.
as there was not particle OF evidence against
them. I added, that 'one of the officers, Mr..
Morton, IS q member OF my Cabinet This fact
is not to be allowed to shield him; nor on the
other hand. is 1t to be allowed to cause him TO
be singled out, or the officers with whom he as
sociates to be singled out, for attack"
directed you to proceed against the company,
and. OF course to proceed against any individual
officer If any testimony was produced showing
that he had been personally guilty either by act
connivance; stating that I agreed with the
doubt you had expressed as to whether there
good ground for proceeding even against
the companies: but that also agreed with you
that we should try TO obtain the Judgment of the
court on the question as to whether the injunc-
ton was sufficient. and whether. therefore, there
was any ground OF action whatever. The result
shows that you were entirely right in your doubt
whether the injunction was sufficient to cover
the case.
am much pleased with the remarks quoted
by you in which Judge Philips speaks of the at
tacks made on Mr.. Paul Morton. Your original
advice TO me was to direct that the evidence be-
fore the special counsel who had advised action
against these and other officials individually
should be submitted to Judge Philips who had
Issued the Injunction, to see whether action
could be taken against any Of them personally.
refused TO take this action Judge Philips
(who mad before him all the evidence which
was before the special counseD IN his decision
exactly covers the point which would have been
raised II had followed your advice. He says:
This instance has attracted considerable pub
lie attention because Of the sensational associa-
ton Of the name of Paul Morton
then vice-president of the defendant
company, with the transaction The record in
the case, however Qncluding the) evil
dence taken before the Interstate Commerce
Commission, falls to furnish any foundation for
imputing to those gentlemen any personal re-
sponsibility for the alleged violation of the In
terstate Commerce law"
The decision of the court, therefore, is not
only that you were absolutely right in the ad-
vice you gave me as to the corporation but fur
thernore, and explicitly, that there pos
stble ground for action against Mr.. Morton. No
action IN addition to that which you proposed
could properly have been taken The course
actually taken absolutely proper, and the
decision OF the court, and the opinion of the
Judge above quoted show that to have taken the
course proposed by the special counsel would
have been unjust. Sincerely yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
