BANKS TOLOAN
ON FARM LANDS
Lewis Bill for Such Provision is
FavOrably Reported.
FOR BENEFIT OF FARMERS
Georgia Congressman Succeeds in Get
ting Important Measure Before
Congress After Long Fight.

A Washington special says: The
house committee on banking and cur
rency agreed Wednesday to report
favorably the bill OF Representative
Lewis Of Georgia, making real estate
security for loans by national banks.
Mr.. Lewis bill provides that ma
tional banking associations shall be
permitted to make loans on farm prop
erty on the basis of one half it's value,
provided that not more than % per
cent OF the total capital and surplus
or undivided profits of any sucn
banking association shall at any time
be invested in any such real estate
securities.
The agitation for the change in the
national banking laws has been a long
one, but not until the last congress
did any committee act favorably upon
it. Mr.. Lewis succeeded in getting
favorable report upon his bill in the
closing hours of the last congress,
but, as it was the short session, it
was found impossible to pass the
measure.
He has kept up the fight, and again
have his efforts been crowned with
success. There is every prospect Of
the bill being enacted. Mr.. Lewis re-
CARDS the national banking system as
a condition and not theory, and,
viewing 1t in that light, his efforts
as a member of the banking and cur
rency committee of the house have
been toward the extension of the
facilities so that the farmers of the
south and west may secure the privi-
leges and facilities heretofore enjoy
ed only by men in other lines of BUSH
ness in the cities.
By the passage of this bill the own
ers of farm properties will be placed
in far better position from mon
etary standpoint than they have ever
been heretofore with the possibility
of securing loans from national banks
closed to them.

WILL INSIST on LIVE R ALE BILL.
Democrats Determined That any Rate
Measure Passed Shall be Effective.

Democrats Determined That any Rate
Measure Passed Shall be Effective.
A Washington dispatch says: That
there is is still a sharp difference
of opinion between the supposed
friends Of the Dolliyer-Hepburn rail
road rate bill was made decidedly
manifest Wednesday in the sena.a
chamber. The division is over the
question whether a rate made by the
interstate commerce commission shall
be suspended by the courts pending
final adjudication, and was brought
to the surface in a brief debate which
followed a set speech by Mr., Clapp, in
support Of the bill. In reply to
question by Mr. Tillman, Mr. Clapp
expressed doubt as to the power to
legislate so as to enforce the penalties
proposed by the bill pending a review
of any given finding by the courts.
Mr.. Tillman and Mr.. Bailey took
sharp issue with this statement Tho
former expressed the opinion that the
issue is a vital one, and declared that
if an order is not to be maintained
until final judicial settlement in a
case is reached, it will be necessary
to reform the courts.
Mr.. Bailey also contended that con-
gress can SO legislate as to maintain
the commissions rate until the final
order of the court is issued, and to
prevent interlocutory orders suspend
ing such rates. During the day there
were two speeches on the rate bili,
the one by Mr.. Clapp, in support OF
it, and another by Mr. Scott, practi-
cally in opposition.
The remainder Of the day was de-
voted to the statehood bill, and
Messrs. Perkins and Spooner spoke
in opposition to that bill as it stands.

SEABOARD REACHING OUT.
System Buys Fig Interest in Coal
Fields Pennsylvania Road Fur
niSheS the Cash.

1t was authoritatively stated in
Pittsburg, Pa, Wednesday evening
that the plans Of the Seaboard Air
Line for its new trunk line to the
south from Tennessee include the pur-
chase of $4,000 acres OF coal lands
IN Virginia in connection with the
new railroad project.
These lands stand in the name Of
the Clinchfeld corporation, which is
the underlying company that is build
ing the Seaboard's new line. The Penn
sylvania railroad, which dominates
the Seaboard's policy, has hand in
the project, and has $40,OOO,00O behind
it. This will include the cost of the
new trunk line. The money, it is said,
has been raised by Alfred Walters,
formerly president of the Lehigh Val
ley railroad, who is now president Of
the Clinchield corporation.
This corporation will later become
the operating head of the Seaboard
system, which will aid the Pennsylva-
MIA in tightening its grip in the btu
minous fields.
The coal properties which have
been purchased by the Clinchfeld cor
poration on behalf of the Seaboard Air
Line embrace about 100000 acres Of
land in Wyeth and Dickinson coUn-
ties, Virginia. 1t also owns 10000
acres of coal lands purchased from
the Cranes Nest Coal company. Much
Of this fuel is in the celebrated POGO
hontas field, and the plan of the Sea-
board, when its trunk line is complet-
cd, is to open market for it in the
south and southwest, and distribute
it to the gulf and Atlantic seaports
for export.
The engineers engaged in building
the new road expect to get maximum
grade of one-half per cent. AS prev1-
ously stated, the South and Western
railroad in Tennessee is the nucleus
of the new line. 1t will be extended
nearly 285 miles from Johnson City,
Tenn, the northern terminus to the
coal properties acquired, and also to
a connection with the Chesapeake and
Ohio at Elkhorn, Va.
From Spruce Pine, N. c., the south
ern terminus, it will be extended
southwark to connect with the SSa-
boards Atlanta division at Ruther-
fordton, N. c., and will also connect
with the Atlantic Coast Line and the
Southern railway.
Detailed announcement of the COM
pany's financial plans will be made in
New York this spring The new line
will give the Pennsylvania lines west
an outlet from Cincinnati and Louis
vile to the south, and will cement the
cordial cooperative relations existing
between the Seaboard the Pennsylya-
MIA and the Chesapeake and Ohio.
it will also permit the Pennsylvania
to further control production in the
bituminous fields.

The Indians seem to be doing the
toboggan act act pretty neatly. The
fans are trying to figure Il out and
pencils are at a premium. The prin-
cipal reason lies in the fact that the
Indians are on the trip. Ii can be
noticed that every home team won
yesterday. This may be coincidence,
but 1t is generally known that home
teams are given the preference.
II the Indians won them all II would
mean a break In the league.
The Hoosiers have a pretty good
lead now.
Chenau.t seems TO be playing good
ball for the Hoosiers.
The sports here are still supporting
the Indians. but they are figuring hard
to keep from getting caught. The In
dians have had no regu ar day to win
Cairo did not get any nearer the
Indians standing than before the
double header. This is one consola-
ton. The Hoosiers performed a dou-
BILE feat by defeatln gthe Rats. They
not only secured good lead on the
Indians but kept our hated rivals
down in the percentage column.

COMPOSURE SLOWLY
COMING IN SPAIN
GRAND MILITARY REVIEW WAS
HELD YESTERDAY AND A BRIL-
NIGHT IN MADRID.

Madrid, June 4.--The populsce of the
Spanish capital Is gradually recovering its
composure and the programme of we'd
ding festivities Is being carried out. al
though the nerve -wreeking tragedy of
May 81 is likely to leave a lasting i'm
preston on the royal family as well as
on the people here.
The principal event here today was the
military review at Garabanchel camp at
which King Alfonso and Queen Victoria
were present. The former who wore the
uniform and who was mounted on a hand
some bay, galloped along the lines. His
escort was composed of officers of all

uniform of the United States army.
The Wadras regiment which lost several
of its officers and privates by the bomb
explosion last Thursday occupied the post
plauded. About 1900 soldiers and sailors
participated in the review
The military review was followed by a
musical competition this evening. and a
gala ball tonight at the palace of the
Duchess Fernan Nunez which was at
tended by the members of the Spanish
royal family and the visiting princes and
ENJOYS.
The newspapers of Madrid are chiefly
giving their attention to the need of
measures for the protection of society
against anarchy. but point out the diff
ficuties which even the freest countries
such as the United States and France
have experienced in restraining the activi-
tics of this element.
Members Of the family of Manuel Mo-
rales, the perpetrator of the bomb outrage
are expected to arrive in Madrid tonight
The burial of the assassin probably will
take place tomorrow in some obscure
place.

While the Alabama congressman strongly
favors this section. rather than see the

Burton Tenders Resignation.

Topeka, Kan, June 4.-United States
Senator Joseph r. Burton of Abilene,
after conference here today with sew
eral close friends, placed his resignation
in the hands of Governor Hoch.
Senator Burton left his home yesterday
for Topeka and Immediately upon arrival
here went into a secret conference with
his friends to talk over the situation.
These friends included Bailey p. Wag-

Hackney George Findlay and few

the charges of irregularities we're first
brought against him, Senator Burton de-
clined to talk for publication before going
into the conference this morning How
ever it had been freely stated that the
senator would place his resignation In
the hands of Governor Hoch before the
day closed, and when 1t finally was handed
to the executive no surprise was exhibit
ed by the state officials and politicians

Soon after receiving the resignation Gov
ernor Hoch sent telegram to Vice
President Fairbanks, notifying him as
the presiding officer of the Senate of
Senator Burton's resignation and accep-
tance.
