PRESIDENT ON RATE MAKING
Chief Executive Anxious that Essence
of Hepburn Bill De
Retained.

WASHINGTON. Feb 1S.--President Roose-
welt in recent talks with senators and
representatives hes stated that while he is
not attempting to dictate the Technology
of the railroad rate bill his preference is
that the substance OF the Hepburn bill
should be kept. He has taken occasion to
say that he cares very little for the form
of the bill II the "essence is kept. There
are two or three minor points as TO which
he thinks amendments may possibly be
made with advantage. as for instance in
stead of making a thrty-day limit for the
time when a regulation is to take effect.
to make 1t go into effect at any time set
by the Interstate Commerce commission.
The president has felt that there are argu-
ments both for and against the proposal
that If a stay Is granted the railroads shall
be required pending the decision to pay
into court the difference between the rates
as they exist and as they will exist II the
commissions ruling is sustained. The
president has emphasized the fact that the
main point Is appeal to the courts. The
Hepburn bill itself the president believes
allows such appeal and so does every other
proposed bill in both houses.
The proposals coming from Senators AL
drch Foraker and others who hold SINH
lar views TO that. looking to a complete
retrial of the case by the courts, both as
to the law and the facts, the president does
not believe in. lie believes. as outlined
in his speech before the Iroquois club last
May, that the appeal to the courts should
be only to test whether the order OF the
commission is in whole or in part con-
liscatory and also to test the legality OF
the order
The president is entirely Indifferent as to
the form of the provisions in the bill so
long as the substance is right as set forth
above. The president regards all this as
contained In the Hepburn bill, but does
not care as to the form in which the pro-
visions are put, so long the substance is

D0NAHUE AND GROVE CASE
Friends of Chief Indignant mt the
Insinuations OF the World
Herald.

Friends of Chief of Police Donahue Go
not conceal their indignation over the car
toon in Sundays World-Herald. the pur-
port of which is to carry the idea that
the chief did nothing TSatover to. effect
the capture OF Pat Grove.
The position taken by the World-Hera
all along in this case and towards me is
so well known that comment is hardly nee
essary," said the chief when asked about
the matter. The records and the facts
show what the Omaha police department
and myself did I'm this case and l am con-
tent to let the record speak for itself. The
World Herald apparently never let an OPP
portunty slip TO discredit our efforts and
print false stories about various incidents
Of the case. 1t will be remembered that
at the time OF the kidnapping the World
Herald insisted young Cudahy was only in
hiding with disreputabe companions When
Grove was arrested at Butte this paper
carried a long story to the effect that Eddie
Cudahy himself was implicated in the kid
naping. according to statements accredited
to Grove. which Grove later denied. As
n matter Of fact the police did everything
in their power to apprehend Grove and to
work up, strong case against him. Dur
ing the FIVE years he was at liberty. after
the commission of the crime kept in
close touch with the witnesses and were
able to produce all OF them at the trial.
Tho fact that Grove visited this vicinity
more than once and was not arrested is
not a fair criticism to the local police de
partment. We never received any assist
snce from the persons TO whom Grove
talked and made known his identity. These
were afraid to talk until after that gentle
man had left town. paid s9oo out Of my
own pocket as reward money for Groves
arrest. and l do not know OF anyone else
who backed up his interest In capturing
him with like amount OF cash.
THE whole record in the case is open TO
the closest inspection. 7 am satisfied i'm
partial observers cannot find nv ocpart-
ment AT fault"
