FULTON FOR THE BILL
OREGON SENATOR MAKES SPEECH
 FOR MEASURE.
Amendment Agreed Upon at White House Conference is Presented
 But Senator Long Fails
 to Make His Speech.

Washington, April 2.-The amend ment to the House railroad rate bill agreed at the White House Saturday by &iends of the bill providing for a limited review of orders of the inter- state commerce commission was offer ed In the Senate today by MT. Long of Kansas, but he was not able to get the floor to make his spee% on the bill.
 The principal speech today was made by MT. Fulton of Oregon. who spoke for the bill It was a legal argument questions involved in the Legislature and interruptions were so frequent that the speech amounted to a debate on law points where the speaker di- vided the time with a majority of the lawyers of the Senate.
 Mir Nelson of Minneapolis. and MT. Hepburn of Idaho made brief speeches on the bill.
 Point Made By Fulton
 The principal point he desired to make in his speech. said MT. Fulton, was that it was not necessary to the validity of the bill that it contain d specific provision for a court review.
 MT. Fulton said that if the commits sion's rate was extortionate there wa no means in the bill for the shipper to find relief. MT. Aldrich nterjected that
  bill unless equal rights were given to the shipper and the railroad.
 Mir. Fulton said, however. that was not the heart of the controversy and that the shipper has no fear that the commission will raise rates above the present rates fxei by the railroad
 MT. Fulton maintained that no added authority could be given the courts by congress other than that they already have under the constitution.
 MT. Long then offered tine court re- view amendment agreed on at the White House conference Saturday as follows:
 "On page II. line ,. after the words prescribed" strike out all of said line down to and including the word 'juris diction" at the end of line g. On page fl strirc out all the line IS down to and including the word effect" in line ?. page 15. and in lieu of the words stricken out on page IA insert the fol- lowing:
 That all orders of the commission except for the payment of money shall take effect within such reasonable time as shall be prescribed by the commits sion and shall continue for such period of time, not exceeding two years, as shall be prescribed in the order of the commission unless sooner set aside by the commission or suspended or set as- idle in suit brought against the com mission in circuit court of the Tinted States sitting as a court of equity for the district wherein any carrier. com plainant in said suit, has it's principal operating office and Jurisdiction Is here by conferred upon the circuit courts of the United States to hear and deter

CUNNINGHAM REOPENS HIS
 CAMPAIGN FOR GOVERNORSHIP
threw the audience into fits of laugh ter.

threw the audience into fits of laugh ter.
 Not . Corporation Man.
 He said the insinuation was that he was a corporation man." He showed that he had never been associated with any corporation except as convict phy- sician for the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad Company. which position he lost because of his fearless advocacy of the present convict system. This system appealed to him, he said, be- cause its purposes were humanity, jus tice and an increase of the States reve- nue.
 He advocated the change in 1896. but it was defeated. Governor Jelks put it into operation January 1. 1903, and Dr. Cunningham said he was one of the Governors advisors. And" added the speaker. T have not drawn a cent of money as physician for the Tennessee Company since December. 1902
 Getting back to the railroads, Dr. Cunningham accused MT. Conner again of stealing his ideas.
 They say am raiiroader" he said with scorn. If I am, I haven't heard of it. And if do hear of it, shall be very much surprised.'
 He said he was in the campaign on his record and his merit and he depend ed on his friends and not the spending of money to make a successful issue of the campaign. The business admin stration of Governor Jelks was praised and reference was made to the heavy surplus that Governor Jelks would leave in the treasury.
 He advocated appropriating this money for the old soldiers and for ed- ucation of the boys and girls of Ala bama-at the same time deploring the lack of enforcement of the child labor law which he helped to enact. s'I do not hesitate in saying" he added that if on one hand there Is a bag of gold, made by man, on the other by boy or girl made by God. I would choose the handiwork of God Enthusiastic applause)
 Amid continued enthusiasm he con- tinued, Fellow citizens. those who are willing to profit on the manhood and the womanhood of my state, those who would violate the Sab, .th, those who would approve of gambling-an of these are out fter me with a knife"
 In closing, Dr. Cunningham said he had never been defeated for office and that he Is proudest to boast that those who knew him best were the hardest workers in his interest. Don't defeat me, friends" he said, because of some- thing that does not exist. The insin uation that l am a candidate of the railroads is absolutely false"
 There was tremendous applause at the close of the speech and many men went forward and congratulated the Lieutenant Governor.
 Dr. Cunningham will go to Flomaton tomorrow where he speaks at noon. Tomorrow night he will speak at At more.

coal against just such an emergency as has arisen, and this coal will be distributed with as great regard as possible to the demands of legitimate consumers"
 A statement of the grounds on which the retail coal dealers of New York city raised the price Of coal last week was made today by Alfred l. Barnes, a mem ber of the Retail Coal Dealers Associa- tion. He said:
 Tt Is true that the operators have not raised the price of coal. but neither wholesaler nor retailer can get any coal from them for love or money. The operators have not shipped any coal to this city for a month and the reserve being exhausted to supply our custom CTS so that they can run their plants, we are compelled to get 1t from any possible source, and the middlemen and sffiaIl dealers are making us pay an in- creased price for it.

Damaxe. are Denied.

Washington, April 2.--In. an opinion by Justice Day, the supreme court of the United States today affirmed. the decision of the circuit court of ap- ipeals for the third circuit in the case Of the McCahan Sugar Refining Com pany of Philadelphia versus the Steamer Wild Craft. This was a suit for damages for $15.0o0 supposed to have been sustained by cargo or sugar shipped by the refining company from Cuba in 1901. It was claimed. on the one side, that the damage was the result of the unseaworthiness of the vessel and on the other that it was due to the ''perils of the sea" which are expected under the Harter act. The court of appeals sustained the latter contention and its decision. was upheld.
