LIVELY DAY IN HOUSE
Bill Passed Increasing Appropriation
to Each state for Support of Aeri-
cultural Experiment Station.
[By Associated Press1

Washington, Feb. 15.-The morn
ing hour" prevailed in the house today
until after 5 o'clock The net result
was the passage of bill to increase
to $4,000 a year the federal appro-
priation to each state and territory
for the support of agricultural expert
ment stations. and a bill repeating the
present law granting American
register to foreign ships wrecked and
repaired on the American coast, in
the discretion of the secretary of the
department of commerce and labor,
and requiring special act OF congress
to grant such register.
The feature of the day was the
attempt of Payne, chairman of the
ways and means committee, to get up
his bill for the consolidation of Gus
toms collection districts.
A furious opposition developed and
by a roll call a large majority voted
against considering the bill, and again
when the majority voted against con-
sidering the bill. When the expert
ment station bill came up the debate
reverted again to the Payne bill and
it was with difficulty that it could be
brought to an end.
An indirect compliment was paid
to Longworth by vote to adjourn to-
day until Monday, although nothing
will appear in the records of the pur-
pose of the adjournment.

MINERS SUBMIT TERMS
First Meeting Of Anthracite Operators

Committees Appointed.
[By Associated Pressl

New York, Feb. 15.-The special
wage scale committee of the union
anthracite coal miners of Pennsyl-
vania appeared before the presidents
and other officials of the coal mining
companies here today and stated in
general terms the propositions it de-
sired the operators to grant, and then
retired to formulate the demands in
detail.
Before the conference adjourned
two subcommittee of seven men each
were appointed, one representing the
miners and the other the operators,
to take up jointly the questions at
issue and endeavor to reach an agree
ment. When these committees have
completed their work they will make
a report to the conference.
The utmost good feeling prevailed
at the meeting.

conservative forces are not striving
to amend the bill in manner that
will impair it's effectiveness they will
gain number of votes" Undoubtedly
this statement will bring a response
from the supporters of the bill and for
the first time the real demands of
both factions will be given to the pub
lie authoritatively.
Republican senators on both sides
of the question were asked today to
say just what the differences are. The
responses showed what the differ
ences are not.
Many amendments have been cir
culated bearing on the court review
feature, but not one of these appears
to have the unqualified endorsement
of the senators who are contending for
such an amendment
Late tonight it was stated that so
far no agreement had been reached
on any amendment, despite the fact
that numerous conferences have been
held during the day between the presi-
dent, number of cabinet officers and
senators to prepare compromise
draft.
Senator Aldrich, Senator Allison and
Secretary Taft conferred with the
president today concerning the alleged
necessity of an amendment providing
for judicial review. The secretary OF
war has joined forcer with the "conser-
vative" senators in declaring that such
an amendment is required to make
the bill constitutional
Attorney General Moody does not
agree to this end and the president
, SO far as known, has not committed
himself unalterably. 1t is stated that
he announced today that he would
like to see the proposed amendment
and submit it to the attorney general
before he endorses any proposition to
,, amend the house bill.

Washington, Feb. 15-Agreement
to vote on a railroad rate bill tomor-
row in the senate committee on in
terstate commerce is an issue that
neither faction on the question of ju-
dicial review of orders of the inter
state commerce commission seems in
clined to force. Neither knows the
strength of the other.
Unquestionably the democratic
members of the committee are the
balance of the power. Neither of the
republican factions has issued a for
NAL statement, but the democrats in
an authorized statement from Senator
Bailey have made it clear that "an
adequate bill" must be reported, or
the minority will have measure of
it's own. In this statement, however,
it is admitted that the democrats are
divided on the question of judicial
review.
The members of the committee in
sisting upon an amendment to the
house bill, Senators Elkins, Aldrich,
Foraker, Kean and Crane, do not be-
lieve the amendments providing for
any change in the court features of
the bill can be voted upon tomorrow.
Senators Dolliver and Clapp, the
champions of the house bill in it's
present form, are not disposed to in
sist upon a vote. They desire to have
Senator Cullom paired against amend
ment, but the opposing faction will
not permit this.
If the vote is postponed, as seems
likely, Senator Cullom may return to
Washington. Different reports are
circulated concerning his position.
The position will be outlined clearly
tomorrow even though vote is not
obtained. Senator Aldrich authorized
a statement to this effect today and
said that when it is known that the

BONI WANTS But LITTLE
Will Accept Nothing from Anna Beyond
Ills Pre-NuptiaI Income.
lBy Associated Pressl

Paris, Feb. 15.--The financial ne
gotiations in the Castellane case do
not relate to Count Boni's allowance
after separation from his wife, former
~ Anna Gould, of New York, as he
has simplified this branch by stating
that he does not expect a large
amount The counts announcement
was made to the lawyers of the
countess 1t was most emphatic and
is substantially in the following
terms:
II declare to you, and | swear to the
exactness of my declaration, that
not only do not demand, but that
will not accept any sum beyond that
small amount which constituted my
income before my marriage
The count thus disposes of the
statement to the effect that he con,
temptously refused $4,000 year on
the ground that it was not sufficient
for his pocket money.
The attitude of the count leaves the
lawyers of the countess to clear only
his outstanding Indebtedness, which
reaches an enormous sum. The Gas.
tellane marriage contract gives the
countess her separate income, subject
to the claims for debts of her husband.
This contract insures the protection
of the countess fortune against being
absorbed in the present controversy
and also prevents the counts credit
ors from taking legal action against

the relations of the railroads and the
oil trust in the matter of rebates.
Special Agent Herbert D. Brown
of the department of commerce and
labor left for Washington last night,
leaving officials of the Pennsylvania
lines and the Star Union Freight line
in total darkness as to what his find
ings from the search of freight tariffs
and records are.
"The official confirmation of the pur-
pose of the investigation came yester-
day. It was learned that Commission
er Garfield proposes to give the oil
rebates his attention Immediately
after the beef trust prosecutions in
Chicago are brought to a. close"
The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1906-02-16

the countess. At the same time she
does not appear disposed to exact the
strict letter of the contract and the
financial negotiations are for the pur-
pose of making some arrangements
for a compromise with the counts
creditors.
The amount involved has been
swollen to enormous proportions by
excessive charges for money advances.
One gentleman intimately familiar
with every detail of the Castellane
case said that when people sought ad-
vances of money lenders and these
advances reached three years ahead
on an anticipated income the borrower
usually got one-tenth, while nine
tenths went to the usurers. This ap-
plies to the financial situation in the
Castellane case, comparatively small
advances now reaching a gigantic ag,
gregate through excessive charges.
The extent to which the countess will
voluntarily liquidate these claims is
the chief question under consideration
and the determination of this will
probably determine the other proceed
ings.
Although the lawyers expect the
case to proceed to an early decree
they recognize that a slight element
of indecision remains on the part OF
the countess, due to her continued
feeling towards her husband and hel
repugnance to involve her family in
