DEBATE On TRE
HEPBURN BILL
A Number of Speeches in Favor
of the Measure Heard in the
House Today
EscH OF WISCONSIN TALKS
Declares There Are Five Ages in Rail-
roadins in America, the Fifth Being
Government Ownership to Which We
Are Coming if Railroads Oppose
Reasonable Regulation.

Washington, Feb. 3.-Less than a
score of members We're in their places
when the house met at II o'clock to-
day to continue the discussion of the
Hepburn railroad rate bill. The de-
bate was opened by Clayton, of Ala
bama, who spoke for the bill.
Clayton maintained the Elkins law
preventing rebates could not be en-
forced without espionage which was
un-American and the present bill
would make it impossible to obtain in
formation without resort to the spy
system, because the books of railroad
corporations would be open to agents
of the commission.
Whether 1t be communism, anarchy
or not, the time will come when the
people will rise and follow William j.
Bryan to victory This was the open
ing prediction of Henry Of Texas, who
followed Clayton for the bill. The
maximum rate case, he said, he settled
affirmatively the Constitutional
ity Of granting the power
to fix rates. He regretted
the presidents change Of attitude on
the question. ri believe in his homes
ty and sincerity" he said, "but wish
he had adhered to his original inten-
ton to give power to establish a rea-
sonable rate and left the question of a
maximum rate out Of consideration.
Esch of Wisconsin said there were
five ages in railroading in America
age of construction, age OF
competition, age Of combina-
tions in age Of government control.
and there is the fifth age Of govern
ment ownership, from which may God
save U.S."

OUTLOOK NOT GOOD At AMEs.
New Material to Be Used on Base Ball
Team at !. s. c.


Ames. Feb. 3.-The first meeting Of
the baseball men was held this week.
The outlook for winning team in
base ball at the Iowa State College
this season is not flattering at present.
With but two or three of last years
veterans back would seemingly lessen
the chances of Ames as winner, but
even this has failed to dampen the ar
dor and confidence Of the supporters
Of the "Aggies" in being able to pre-
duce a team that will easily claim the
laurels of the season in the end. An
unlimited amount OF new and untried
material is on hand and anxious to
show their hand. "Yank" Brown, the
star pitcher for the "Aggies' for the
past three years will no longer be a
central figure. OF the old men that
have returned are Parsons at short
stop, Branch at first, Riley and Kruel n
the box and Cave and Dunkle in the
outfield.

CHURCH RUNS BLOOD.
Bitter Hand d-to- Hand Struggle i
Paris Edifioe.

Paris. Feb. 3.-For hours yesterday
the stylish church Of st. Pierre Gros-
caillou rang with the frenzied shouts
OF battle and it's affairs and pews We're
bathed deep in blood, while 5000 mill
tant Catholics, alternately praying and
chanting hymns, fought madly to de-
fend the edifice against the determined
assaults Of the police and firemen sent
to aid the government officials in tax
ing an inventory Of the church prop
erty.
Hour after hour the battle waged
the police breaking down the heavy
doors Of the building only to he
brought face to face with high bar
ricades from behind which the in
furiated defenders showered them with
cayenne pepper, binding scores and
scores Of the police and forcing them
to retreat in disorder and with oaths
and cries Of pain.
When the last barricAde had been
carried by the officers the defenders,
half mad with religious feeling, threw
themselves on the invaders and fought
IKE wild beasts Not policeman es-
capped from the church uninjured. One
by one, however, the militant Catholics
were beaten down and carried away to
the nearest police stations and the
purpose of the government achieved.
while the trouble inside the church
had been going on mob numbering
thousands, Of socialists and other nom
Catholics had been gathering on the
outside and clamoring for the blood OF
the defenders. Only by persistently
charging were the mounted police able
to prevent the mob from rushing into
the edifice and probably enacting a
scene Of bioodshed such as Paris has
not known since the bloody days pre-
ceding the republics birth.
Fifty are Seriously injured:
AS net result Of yesterdays rioting
though the inventory was taken in but
this one church, over fifty persons
were seriously injured and many 9TH
ers slightly hurt The latter included
police and firemen, who were almost
arrests were made.

that it was his opinion that the Cross
lev bill would be adopted in much the
form presented. He said joint meet
ing of the elections committees OF inc
house and senate had been held' ana
the entire bill had been gone over. ana
very few alterations suggested. Ine
governor is very anxious that the bill
should become a law. and he Will
doubtless bring his personal influence
to bear in the matter, as an offset to
the corporation and railway influence
which is fighting the measure. If the
primary election law wins. the anti
pass bill will have smooth sailing, be-
cause under the primary system the
political pass will be useless.

Berlin Government Satisfied With Mo-

Berlin, Feb. 3.-Germany now takes
a more hopeful view of the result OF
the conference at Algeciras on Moroc-

The two questions of smuggling Of
arms, and taxation having been dis
posed of without serious differences,
the foreign office is inclined to believe
an agreement also will be reached with
reference to police administration,
though this admittedly presents great
.er difficulties than the questions al
