Iowa Senator Charges Opposition with
Attempting to Prevent Legislation.

Says He is Acting in Good Faith and Will
Talk as He Pleases
SHARP REPLY BY HAwKEYt STATESMAN
He Too VIII Choose His own words
TO Characterize the Tactics
that Have Been Re-
sorted To.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The senate COM
mittee on Interstate commerce today began
consideration of the Hepburn rate bill,
which passed the house yesterday. Today
was devoted to the first section, which
describes the kind OF transportation to
which the act shah apply.
Several amendments were suggested by
senators unfricndly to the BILL but mono
was voted on today.
1t is generally conceded that the Hep
burn bill with only few notifications.
will have a majority report when the COM
mittee votes next Friday.
1t became evident during the discussion
OF the various amendments that tho ar
rangemcnt to discuss the bill during the
next week would accomplish no important
result. great were the differences of the
opponents and champions of the bill. Sem
ators Clapp and Dollivcr charged that the
amendments were offered to obstruct the
perfection OF n bill that stands good
chance to become law.
Senator Aldrich replied that the amend
ments had been offered seriously, where
upon Senator Clapp announced that he
would waste no more time" in the consid-
Grafton of a bill, but would be present to
vote upon the measure on February l6 He
then left the committee room.
After the departure Of Senator Clapp
| Senator Dolliver took tho committee to task
! for its 'levity" in considering railroad rate
| legislation. He called attention to the fact
| that the committee had been conducting
| hearings since last summer and had not
| arrived at any agreement. He charged that
| some members of the committee did not ap-
| pear to desire an agreement.
! Objection was made by Senator Aldrlch
| to the charge that "levity" had been dis
| played, and raid that he had been serious
in everything that he had offered. Warm
| ing To the defense of his sincerity he
said that he would talk in any manner he
pleased in discussing the proposed legisla-
ton and would not be called to account by
| Senator Doliiver.
The Iowa senator. who is the particular
champion of the hepburn bill, with equal
emphasis replied that he too would choose

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 9.-The sale yes
terday of the stock of the San Francisco

Lumber company for $4,000. following the
passing out of existence on January l OF
the Pacific Pine Lumber company. marks
the death of the giant combination which

The death OF the trust will have little
effect on the lumber industry. For some
years II has been a trust In name only.

be conducted on a basis OF competition, as
matter OF fact the different concerns fix
their schedule of rates after consultation.
