South CaroIinian Says Changes Made by Conferees In the Rate Bin are Beneficial to the ROcke-

washington, June 25.-Immediately after the Senate met today the clerk of the House of Representatives announce ed the action of that body in the rail- road rate bill. but it was allowed to lie on the vice presidents desk until 2:30 D. m, when it was called up by Senator Tillman.
 After the report was read, MT. Till man called attention to the fact that his name was not attached. He pre- septed and defended it, he said. at the request of the Republican Senate con- ferees, but he said he was opposed to the agreement concerning one amend ment to which he would later move that the Senate disagree. He had ref erence to the McLaurin amendment di- vorcing the carrying and producing business which was amended so that 1t does not apply to the pipe lines. The change in this amendment fin plain English" he said, meant that stand ; ard oil has got in it's work" The agreement in regard to this amend ment, relieved the Standard oil Com pany from control and regulation oI the interstate commerce commission.
 When the bill was sent to confer ence the second time, Senator Tillman said he found An entirely different att mosphero from that of the first con- ference, as the House eonfeFees insisted on opening up the whole subject in- cluding all matters to which an agree- ment had been reached.

afUsTNrr KILL RATs.
Seven Persons Arrested For Violating
 Ancient Ordinance.

Seven Persons Arrested For Violating
 Ancient Ordinance.
 Seven cases of "ratricide" were dock- eted on the blotter at the police sta- tion last night.
 Very few people. in Montgomery know that 1t is against the law to kill rats inside the fire limits of the city. You must not take the life of a rodent down town. He may infest your cellars and run rampant over the counters of your store. but the strong arm of the law forbids your extin- guishing the flame of life in one of these animals.
 H. A. Cullberg. manager of the Alabama stables on North Court street, and six negro buggy boys employed at the stables, learned early last night through experience that the city has an anti-rat killing ordinance on it's books. The evidence. it Is alleged. shows that CuIlberg and the boys had conspired with malice anorethought and. with reconciliation. to catch sev- eral rats in wire trap. and one by one.' to execute fell designs upon them.
 Special oficers swearingen. Jack son and Taylor made certan that they had a complete chain of undisputed 1 evidence and then went. to the Ala bama stables where they captured that rat-siayers.
 Tho Montgomery City Council adop- ted the rat ordinance years ago and designated 1t as section 1042. Here it 1: is as 1t still stands out on the legal books
 Any person who realeses or kills. or releases for the purpose of killing. any rat or rats. on the streets of the city within the fire limits. must. on con- viction. be fined not less than one. nor more than one hundred dollars"
 Cullberg and the buggy boys were released to answer to Recorder Ba- Der this afternoon on a charge os "aratricide."

 He conteuded that the change of the words common carriers" to ''railroads' would simply destroy the effect of making pipe lines common carriers.
 There you see the result of this additional deliberation." he added. "The House had us up a tree and insisted upon taking the Senate pipe line amendment as 1t was originally insert ed thus making effective the change in the commodity amendment.
 By this change the dWorcement of the transportation from production would be confined to railroads, thus relieving the Standard Oil Company from the operation of requiring that transportation companies shall not car ry articles produced by themselves.
