IN THE SENATE.
Statehood Bill and Government Requ-
lation Of Railroads.

Washington. Jan. 1.-THE attention
of the Senate. today. was divided be-
tween the Statehood question and gov
crnmental regulation of railroads. New
lands made a formal speech on the rail-
road subject and at its close engaged in
Il spirited controversy over the points
involved with Spooner. Foraker and
others. All amendments to the state
hood bill except that relating to liquor
traffic in Indian territory. We're agreed
to.
Thu Senate passed ii resolution calling
on th- interstate commerce commission
for information regarding complaints
against railroad companies
In addressing the Senate on the reSo-
luton proriding for Il commission to
frame national incorporation act for
the constr uction ANA consolidation of
railroads engaged in Interstate COM
m"rc". Nt.wlands said ii was time To
ignore state lines iii the construction
operation and management Of railroads
.nd added that the power sought was
constitutional and involved no contra
diction If the Democratic views as to
the reserved powers Of the state and
local svlf-gOvernmcnt.
In response to Il question. Newlands
said he proposed to secure the re-incor-
por;ttion OF the various railroad conf
panics by partially driving and partial
ly coaXi.g the railroads. He added
that one means which might be resort
cd to would be to prohibit railroads
which refuse to take out national cor
pora ton papers from engaging in inter-
state cOmmtrCe.
Does the senator claim that the pow
er to prohibit is comprised in the pow
er To regulate commerce.? asked For
ahcr.
NcWl!nds replied that he thought so.
Spooncr raised the point that it would
be impossible by federal enactment to
regulate commerce in the states.
NcWllnGs replied that he did not con-
tend that Congress had power to resu-
lat. commerce confined exclusively to
any one state lie did contend. how
ever. that when the government con-
structcd a railroad. no state had power
70 tax it out Of existence. To Platt ot
CONNECTICUT. he said the government
hrd power To take possession of inter-
state commerce.
The statehood bin was taken up ANA

FINAL STAGE
In Suit Between Plat
and Hannah Ellis.
Latter Claims Plat Threw
Money at Her.
Had to Sweep Money Up in 0ustpan-
Trial Now On.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE final stage
in the struggle for possession If near
ly three quarters of a million dollars
between John r. Plat. an aged mil
lionaire. and Hannah Elias. a negress.
who. he charges. wrongfully obtained
the money from him. was scheduled tn
begin before Justice Bishoff in the SUI
preme court, today. In this suit II
was expected that the whole amazing
story of the affair which attracted the
attention Of the entire country when
the secret OF Platt's relations with the
woman were revealed by the filing or
his suit. last summer. would be brought
out.
Interest in the case was intensified
from the first by the strange and
tragic death Of Andrew III. Green, one
of the citys most prominent men. who
was shot to death almost at the door
of the Elias woman's home on Central
Park vest, few months before the
Plat lit was filed.
Gt,,'.s murderer. q negro, who was
captured and later sent to an insane
asylum. said he had shot Mr.. Green
because he was jealous Of the latter's
attentions to Mrs. Elias.
With the filing of the Plat suit the
contention Of Mr.. Green's friends. that
he was victim of mistaken identity
when the fatal attack was made. was
practically proven. There was a re-
markabie similarity in personal ap-
pearance between Mr.. Green and Mr.
Plat, and Mr.. Plat himself said that
he believes the insane negro intended
tn, l. i'm, nd Co.
him.
Mrs. Elias maintains that the vast
sum named in Platt's suit was given
TO her voluntarily by Platt-that he
literally threw money at her. She has
told of one instance when, she says.
after pressing her to take Il large sum
which she refused he threw 81 great
handful Of banknotes on the floor AMI
she had Il servant gather them up on
a dustpan. On the other hand, Piatt
claims that the defendant resorted to
every trick her ingenuity could COM
mand. to eXtort money from him dur
ing the 20 years of their acquaintance
There the matter stood when tho
case was ready for trial. today. Al
though the prosecution Of Mrs Elias
before Magistrate Ommen, last June.
failed utterly. Platts attorneys said
they looked for more success when
the complainant goes on the stand at
this trial. Mr.. Plat is now 81 years
old and very feeble.
In the first trial his memory seemed
almost entirely shattered. and when
pressed by counsel for Mrs. Elias, he
could not maintain any statement he
had made even but n few minutes be.
fore. He seemed completely bewiId-
cred.
1t was believed that the ordeal which
will comfort him. when he goes on
the stand I, The present trial of the
suit, Will H. even more severe than
that III the magistrates court.
