board OF the Chicago, Rock Island &

Passenger Agent Frank L. Miller of
the local Office of the Rock Island to-
day. They had been visiting here and
it was expected that Mr.. Yoakum
would come west to join them on the
return trip, but he decided to undergo
an operation I'm New York for appendi-

for some time. The operation was
performed last Monday and kilograms

TRICKS TURNED
BY THE SHIPPERS
Thousands of False Classifications
Every Month in Order to
Beat the Railroads.
MANY FIRMS IMPLICATED
COMMERCE COMMISSION is IN
VEsTIGATING.

New York, March 23.-The interstate
commerce commission began an impor-
tant hearing today on the reported un-
derbiiling and misrepresentation of
freight by shippers in New York and
other eastern points.
Robert G. Stevenson, a general in
spector of the Trunk Line association
in the territory of New York, Connecti-
cut and Massachusetts,, was examined
at length. He said that in one month
they had a total of "a, 900 false CLASH
ficatiOns. He declared that many large
and prominent firms had habitually.
persistently and constantly violated the
regulations.
In answer to questions, he said that
while the majority of shippers sought
to be honest, many prominent ones
were VIGOROUSLY dishonest. He de-
scribed how some shippers would pre-
tend TO make honest descriptions OF
shipments and how they would try to
deceive inspectors by packing more val
liable shipments in the bottoms, sides
or middle of packages containing lower
class freight to avoid scrutiny. He
said that the inspectors knew Of the
persistent violations pretty well, and
that al a rule few misdescribed ship
ments got by them.
why do they do this If your inspec-
tors generally detect the false classif-
cation?'' asked Chairman Clapp.
"They do il to get a lower rate for
their customers. They think that if
they get one shipment out of ten
through 1t will pay them to misde-
scribe"
He said that the cuts made by the
Trunk Line association inspectors were
rarely questioned by the shippers He
was unable to suggest a remedy for the
evil

OFF FOR NEW ENGLAND.
Fisher Harris Satisfied With His
Visit to National Capital.
Especial to The Herald)

Washington, March 23.-Fisher Har-
ris left here this evening for a tour of
New England cities well satisfied with
the result Of his labors here in behalf
of the seeing America first crusade.
Yesterday he was presented to Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and had d pleasant talk
with him on the subject. The presl-
dent expressed the view that every
American citizen should visit the nat
ural bridges of Utah and the Grand
canyon of the Colorado before going
abroad for the purpose of seeing for
eign scenery. Today at the capitol Mr..
Harris was greeted with much enthu-
siasm by a number OF newspaper men
whom he helped TO entertain as secre-
tary of the Commercial club upon the
occasion of their visit TO Salt Lake
City several years ago.

NO PRIVATE CAR
FOR PRESIDENT
Point of Order Was Made Against
the Preparation in the
Lower House.
MARK SMITH HAS AN IDEA
FACETIoUS REMARKS OF ARI-
IONA DELEGATE.

Washington. March 2S-An echo of
the statehood controversy of yesterday
resulted in an effort 10 correct the
journal when the house met today.
Mr.. Williams maintained he was put
in the ridiculous position Of moving
10 instruct the conferees after they had
been appointed. a motion clearly out
of order at that time. The correction
was made as suggested.
The legislative bill was taken up.
Mr.. Gaines CTenn) offered an
amendment providing 100000 for a
private car for the president It made
no difference whether the president
went on an official trip or on a bear
hunt, Mr. Gaines suggested, he ought
10 be made comfortable. A point of
order by Mr.. Littauer was fatal to the
proposition, although he recognized its
probable necessity.
Mr.. BabCock (Wis) asked Mr.. Lit
tauer If he did not think It wise for
TINS congress to provide a private car
for the president.
1t might be, was the answer, but If
so, 1t ought to be properly considered.
Fatal Point of Order.
A point Of order by Mr.. Prince GII1
vas fatal to the proposed increase of
three examiners and six clerks for the
civil service commission.
The testimony OF Mr.. Wallace late
OF the Panama canal commission, on
the inefticiency of the civil service en-
ployes, was read to the house by Mr..
Cooper (Wis), who commented on the
worthlessness Of the testimony, and
tken defended the civil service.
Six clerks in the field force of the
civil service commission, being pro-
posed increases. went out of the bin
on a point of order by Mr.. Prince.
Much III-feeIing.
1t was evident considerable feeling
vas developing between members of
the appropriations committee at thus
enforcing the rules, and this came to
head at the conclusion of Mr.
Princes reply to Mr. Tawney, when
the latter asked Mr. Prince to explain
whether ne was not responsible for
the appointment of a janitor in the
Capitol at $50 a month. who was draw
ing pay and not doing work The
question brought Mr.. Prince to his feet
instantly. He declared with some heat
that he would give a detailed expIana-
ton. 1t was that the empIoye in uues-
ton has become sick and had been
sent home for treatment. Meantime
TIL work was being done and paid for
by the employe.
Mark Smiths Suggestion.
Mark Smith, delegate from Arizona,
~lunctuated the debate with a facetious
application Of the rules to the state
hood bill.
Why don't the committee arise, get
a special rule from the speaker and
then pass the bill without even read
ing it?" he asked What's the use of
wasting time? You can dispose of the
million people in twenty minutes 1t
has got to that point where consid-
Grafton of a bill is folly"
II would suit him. he said. to see the
rules worked to the limit. even to the
abOlishing of unanimous consents, that

the country might get a wholesome
knowledge of what they are.
IF you did that you might lose a
public building" suggested Mr.. Shack
elfOrd.
Possibly I might lose a postmaster
i'm Bull Gulch or Frogtown," responded
Mr. Smith. But I can stand that"
The bill was still unfinished when
the committee rose.
The president was asked to return to
the house the bill opening for settle
ment the Kiowa and Comanche Indian
reservations IN Oklahoma.
The house adjourned at $40 o'clock.

COAL OPERATORS
ARE NOT UNITED
Signs of a Break in the Deadlock
With the Miners Over
the Wage Scale.
ONE MAN WILLING TO PAY
HEATED DISCUSSION AT THE
CONFERENCE.

/ indianapolis, March 23.-The dead
lock between the coal operators and
the miners of the central competitive
and southwestern districts continued
/ throughout the meeting of the two
joint conferences today, and when the
meetings adjourned late this afternoon
no agreement had been reached. Both
committees viii meet again tomorrow
morning.
| The discussion in the scale committed
or the central competitive district was
confined entirely today TO arguments
regarding the operators on the commit
Tee ana radical views were expressed
oy them The miners representatives
were, for the most part, silent audi
tors. An effort was made to secure
from President Mitchell of the Mine
Workers an expression as to whether
he considered the Ryan resolution i'm

the former joint conference In January
and binds the miners not to sign i'm

Robbins the Target.
F. L. Robbins, one of the western
Pennsylvania operators, was the target
today for several vigorous attacks on
his position I'm favor of paying the
scale of 1903. which would mean an ad-
vance of 5-55 per cent in wages in the
district and would comply with the de-
mands of the miners
Mr.. Robbins stated on the floor that
he did not propose to be dictated to by
the operators of Illinois. Indiana and
Ohio. He said his position was fair
and just to all interests, and the Pitts
burg Coal company, which he repre-
sented, was willing to pay the advance
In wages asked. He said he was also
willing TO pay the advance at his own
mines In Pennsylvania, Ohio and IIli-
nois, and he had received notice from
an Illinois coal company having an
output of 1000. 900 tons annually. that
it had instructed it's representative to
vote with him.
Made Straight Talk.
Mr.. Robbins said the country would
not permit general strike upon the
causes shown. He turned to President
Mitchell of the Mine Workers and said
he did not believe the officials of the
miners would dare to refuse to allow
the miners to work where their de-
mands were met.
q, A. MagoOn, representing the west
ern Pennsylvania independent opera
tors, said if the Pittsburg Coal COM
pany paid the advance and operated
its mines the independent operators of
western Pennsylvania would do the
same.
The discussions among the operators
became so heated that representatives
Of the miners were asked to withdraw
for an hour. This was done, and at
the end of the period adjournment of
the committee was taken until tomor-
row morning. The operators arranged
for conference by states among them
selves tonight.
After the general caucus leading OPP
orators said tonight that nothing haa
been accomplished and the situation
was exactly as ii was at the begin
ming of the joint conference.
