PATTERSON JARS
RAILROAD ALLIES
Democratic Senator's DOMINICAN
Speech Makes Them Quake
President Is Delighted
GoRNTAN PLANS TO USE
FORCE ON ASSOCIATES
Seeks to Hold DOMINICAN Treaty
Opposition as Obstacle to
Railroad Reforms.
By w. w, Jermane.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The president
Is highly gratifed over Senator Patter-
son s speech yesterday in favor of the
Santo DOMINICAN treaty. It's the best
evidence The administration has vet
had that the treaty will be ratified. The
administration had been counting on
three democrats, not including Patter
son and Morgan, and, with these adj
ded. there will be five democratic
votes, or more than enough.
German Plots.
The Patterson speech has stirred IN
q good deal of friction on the delno-
cratic side of the senate, and German
is now talking of having a caucus of
the democratic members this week Sat
urday. to force all his associates into
opposition or to read them, out of the
party.
This is merely a part of the general
opposition to Mr.. Roosevelt, prompted
by the railroads, and it remains to be
seen whether it can be made to work.
German has failed with his plan to
marshal the democratic senators into
partizan opposition to the Roosevelt
policies as a whole, and is now irving
to secure that opposition on one policy
at time, the Santo DOMINICAN being
the first.
Railroad Senators Jared.
The Patterson speech created con
sternation among the railroad senators
ON the republican side of the chamber

could be made to see the light. Fora

treaty, assuming that German would
be able to hold the democratic member
in check. Now that Patterson ant

Chicago, Feb. Al Washington spe-
cial to The Chicago Tribune says:
There will be no radical Insurance
legislation either at this or the next
session. The leaders have determined
the question is far too complex and the
demand for federal supervision as yet
is too uncertain to make immediate ac-
ton necessary or desirable
The president included in his annual
message the suggestion that congress-
should inquire into the relations be-
tween the insurance companies and the
national government and seek to deter
mine whether on the whole the busi-
ness Of insurance is sufficiently Of an
Interstate character to give congress
authority in the matter An inquiry is
progressing both in the house and in

cusslons before the judiciary COM

The recent condemnation us unfit for

pairs are needed and the plant is thor
oughly up to date. it ought not to be
difficult to make a good showing For

unfortunately the rule rather than the

the deterioration OF the plant and 20
its increasing losses. But the day OF
reckoning inevitably comes when
breakdown. bad service or demand for
nov equipment that cannot masquer-

that the plant has been losing prop
