Marriage to Him.

New York. Feb. 2-Wilson Miner,
who says he married Mrs. Charles T.
Yerkes in her home at 1854 Fifth ave-
1iue said Thursday night to several
re porterS:
Il have just paid a visit to Mrs.
Miner at her home, S64 Fifth avenue.
We had Il long talk and canvassed the
situation thoroughly. I tried to per-
suade her to see you newspaper men
at least once and settle the whole
business. She would not do 1t Thurs
day night but may give out n state
ment Friday.
Now, as matter of fact. the rea-
son why she denied being married to
soon to suit her, though it wasn't
through any fault of my own. She
did not expect that the marriage
would be announced for good while,
and when on Wednesday she found
that the newspapers were full Of z
she was pretty angry. She was d
angry that she denied the whole thing
and after she once put herself on
record, so to speak. she did not want
to face about. The whole matter will
be adjusted within n short time.
Il am going to stay right here IN
New York. I certainly have no rea-
son to conceal anything. although l
would not have said anything about
the marriage il the news had not leak
ed out and If it had not been put up
to me so strong that l had to tell a
lie or the truth"

an attack on the bill, opposing it's
fundamental features and making. as
he knew, vain effort to have the
power to regulate railroad rates ad-

tended were the weakness and evil Of
government rate-making, illustrating
by records Of foreign countries.

party credit for sustained effort and for
careful scrutiny in the perfecting of
the measure.

way"
MIR. Lyman testified that he was a wit
ness before the grand jury which returned
the indictments against the packers. and
said that he was examined by District
Attorney Morrison and that during this
examination the district attorney had in
his possession copy of the report OF
Commissioner Garfield.
In cross-eXamination District Attorney
Morrison, in spite of strenuous objection
on the part Of counsel for the packers,

IN THE SENATE.

Washington, Feb. There was for
a moment today prospect that the
statehood bill would receive its first
formal reading in that body, always the
initiative step in the consideration of
any measure after disposing of the
routine business and as the statehood
bill occupied the first place, the secre-
tary had begun to read it before any
opponents of the bill realized the situa-
ton. He had covered but few pages
when Mr.. Teller put a stop to the pro-
ceedinss for the time.
The shipping bill made the basis of a
running debate between Mr.. Patterson
in opposition and Mr.. Gallinger and Mr..
Perkins in support. Mr.. Patterson
criticised the provision for a subven-
ton to the Oceanic Steamship Co.,
saying that that concern was now I'M
der contract to carry the mails at good
compensation and that the request for
a subsidy amounted to a demand for
more money on it's contract. Messrs.
Gallinger and Perkins replied that the
company was losing money.
A large number of private pension
bills and some other bills of more
general nature were passed.
Gillinger withdrew a motion made by
him Thursday for the reconsideration
of the bill authorizing the placing Of
models of naval vessels in state capt.
tolls. The bill which was temporarily
held will now go to the house.
The routine morning business being
disposed Of the calendar was taken
up much earlier than usual and the
first bill on the calendar being the
statehood bill. the reading clerk began
to read it. He had proceeded but a few
moments when Teller who opposes the
bill became interested.
How was that bill reached?" he ask
ed.
When informed he suggested that the
bill should go over.

ject to the reading of the bill?" remark
ed Beveridge, in charge of the measure.

do senator
According to further consideration of
the bill was postponed.
McCumber referred to the substitute
for the pure food bill presented yes
terday by Money. He referred to 4
newspaper statement credited to Money
to the effect that the pending bill was
intended to give power to the chief Of
the bureau of chemistry of the agri-
cultural department Ito hold up the
country" McCumbcr declared that the
bill contained no provision to justify
the statement. He said the Moneys
bill ives intended not only to keep con-
ditions as they are but to Obstruct the
state officials in performing their duty.
He declared that the BILL if passed

rison objected to any statement of
Jesse 3. Lyman Of Boston, formerly
president Of the National Packing Co.,
relative to any conversation betwe. n
Mr.. Lyman and Commissioner of Cor
porations James X. Garfield. Attor-
ney Morrison asserted that Mr.. Lyman
was not a party to the trial, nor was
the National Packing Co.. and there
fore that his evidence as to a plea of
immunity should be ruled out. Judge
Humphrey finally permitted Mr.. Ly-
man to relate the conversation. 1t did
not differ materially from other con-
versations of the kind that have been
previously given. Late in the day,
under cross-examination Mr.. Lyman
admitted that the National Packing
Co. had never slaughtered an animal
or made a sale. He declared that it
was holding company only.

country, as contrasted with the time
when small enterprises fiourshed. Now
the nechaniSms Of steam had trans
formed industry completely, so that the
employe was but cog in a tremendous
mechanism.
The same great strides in traffic had
also taken place. Regulation was de-
mandcd by the conditions. The two
features in the bill all essential were,
first. the fixing of a rate and. second,
the speedy adjudication of that rate
in the courts.
The difficulties of the policies to he
inaugurated as to rates such as the
long ana short haul and the "basic
point questions. Burton believed,
should be fixed by Congress. Discrim-
nation between individuals could and
should be stopped. The discrimination
hetween places was a different prob

to overcome,

Burton. we must look to the ideals of

To make it plain that no corporation

ways.
