REPLY OF THE RAILROAD.
New York Central Only Refused to
Furnish State Rates.

New York May 4-RepIying 10 the
statement by Commissioner Garfield that
the New York Central railroad refused
to disclose its rates within New York
state, President Newman of that COM
pany said today:
1--WE refused to furnish our state rate
to the bureau OF corporations of the de-
partment of commerce and labor because
the department has jurisdiction only over
interstate commerce. We cheerfuHy gave
the department access to our interstate
commerce books, just as would give
the proper state authorities information
as to our state rate If il was called for
LAS TO the New York Central being
the only company which refused to sup
ply Commissioner Garfield with the state
rate, attention should be called to the
fact that the New York Central is the
only large state railroad in the country
Il do not think that the Standard Oil
company received rebates from any rail-
road Naturally, il is always on the look
out for the most favorable rates and by
reason of its compact OrSdniza ton is in
Stantly ready to take advantage Of
changes in the tariff.
ANY other shipper could do the same
thing, only the Standard Oil company. by
being alert has been enabled TO get the
best possible rates by unceasing scrutiny
of the tariffs. If il had failed to take
advantage Of any rate changes favorable
to itself the Standard Oil company would
have been foolish

quest of Mr.. AIdrich.

Washington. May 1.-The senate be-
gan its session today by listening to
the reading of the presidents message
on the transportation of oil.
on motion of Mr.. Foraker the mes
sage was ordered To lie on the table.
In making the motion Mr. Foraker
said: 1T covers nearly all the questions
under consideration in connection with
the pending bills"
Mr.. Aldrich explained the treasury
bill, saying its purpose was to permit
the holding of gold bars in the treasury
redemption fund i'm the place of gold
coin. This was made necessary by the
increased demand for coin and the Grip
pied condition of the mint system Ow-
ing to the fact that the San Francisco
mint can not now be used and the

SIGNS OF A SURRENDER
ALLISON AT WORK UPON AN
AMENDMENT.

Washington, May An accordance
with the agreement of last Monday the
senate today entered upon the con-
sideration of amendments to the rate
bill under the 15-minute rule, but made
little progress. The greater part of
the day was devoted to Mr.. Lodges
provision bringing pipe lines within the
terms of the bill and il was ultimately
unanimously agreed to after so amend
ing it to make it exclude gas and
water lines from its operation, thus
practically combining it to oil lines.
There were two roll calls, but neither
was OF Importance, as on one accepting
the amendment there was no division
whatever, while the action taken on the
other, on the question OF conhninS the
provision to oil lines, was practicable
nullifed by the subsequent elimination
Of gas and water from the amendment
The provision was so amended as to
make it applicable to the oil pipe line
in the Panama canal zone
A proposition by Mr.. Foraker, to eX-
clude refrigerator cars from the re-
quirements of the bill. and another by
Mr. McCumbeT, making the require
ments concerning those cars more strin-
gent than in the original bill, were i'm
partially voted down.
During the day there were many
short speeches on the amendments, and
also more or less discussion Of points
OF order. Upon the whole the day s
proceedings was quite perfunCtOry, be-
ing rendered so by the general knOwl-
edge of the fact that the Republican
senators were on the eve of an agree
ment that would determine the CharaC-
ter of the bill. There was an evident
general disposition to await that agree
ment and an adjournment over tOmor-
row was taken for the purpose of per-
hitting it to be perfected

regulating speeches to fifteen minutes

Mr.. Bailey was the first senator to
address the senate under the new Or
der. He announced his abandonment
of his amendment, including express
companies as among the corporations
to be regulated by the bill, saying that
he did so because of his greater inter
est in other amendments. He also crit

der which cars and other railroad vehi-
Cles are defined, but did not offer an
amendment remedying the defect.

amendment defining pipe lines as com

The Standard Oil company furnished the

out such as under his manipulation he
felt would prove damaging.

'"The presidents message complains of
the way that the law is evaded by treat
ing as state commerce what is in reality
merely a part of interstate commerce
although the forms OF law may
be complied with yet this very method of

THE statement that the Standard Oil

home competition has always existed, is
steadily growing, and that there are now
at least 125 competitive refineries in the

for free transportation to points outside

Removing the Debris.
The railways have perfected their plans
for the removal of debris on a large
scale. They estimate that there are o
OO0.6O0 cubic yards of waste to remove
and have arranged for an elaborate sys-
tenn of bunkers to be connected with the
spur tracks. The wagon haulS to these
bunkers will average two blocks. and the
teams will carry their loads up an in
clined plane to the traps which will open
CPon the flat cars beneath.

Carriers Amendment Lost.

Mr.. Carter proposed an amendment to
limit the pipe line provision to oil alone,
but it was lost, 2 to SO.
After further debate the amendment
was modified so as to- except water,
gas, either artificial or natural, and as
so amended was agreed to, IS ayes to
no nays.
Mr.. Foraker suggested the omission
of refrigerator cars from the definition
of the term transportation" saying
fruit growers were opposed to the pro-
vision as il stands. The amendment
was lost without division.
An amendment was next offered by
Mr.. McCumber making more definite
the inclusion of refrigerator cars and
prohibiting exorbitant charges for their
use. He said the purpose of his pro-
vision was to render it impossible for
the trusts to control the railroads.
The amendment was voted down
without a roll call.

ment TO have the owners of private
lines of all kinds of cars included in the
bill and made liable under it's prOvi-

Running Debate.

Mr.. Foraker urged that pipe lines for
private use should be exempted and a
debate of considerable length enSued,
Messrs. Foraker, McCumber, Fulton,
Tillman, Culberson, Frye, Lodge and
others participating.
Mr.. TiIlnan urged that all interstate
pipe lines should be regarded as com
mon carriers and be compelled to ac-
cept commodities from all producers.
At Mr.. Frye's request a letter from
an unnamed place in Pennsylvania
complaining that the acceptance of the
amendment would be ruinous to the
business Of small producers was read.
Mr.. Lodge said he was willing to omit
from his amendment natural gas and
water lines for municipal purposes, but
he had not heretofore heard of the
much-oppressed private opera tor. He
could see no reason for exempting the
oil pipe lines; to do so would be an
unfair discrimination against railroads
An amendment by Mr.. Morgan to the
Lodge amendment making il applicable
to 'any place within the jurisdiction of
governmental authority of the United
States was agreed to. This was to in
clude proposed pipe line across the
iSthmuS of Panama.

Advantage of Standard Company.

Mr. Garfield,s claim that by the use
of low interstate rates the Standard Oil
company gained an unfair advantage is
equally unfortunate. AT great expense we
constructed pipe lines from the PennsyI-
Vanla and Ohio oil fields and from the
Kansas and Indian Territory fields to
Whiting. If our competitors did NOT do
the same thing, shall il be said that any
one Is unfair who does not give them the
advantage Of this enterprise of ours? 1t
IS quite true that having our oil at
Whiting ana desiring to transport IL TO
points in the interior Of Illinois, we used
the state rates. To say that a man in
Ohio who had never expended a dollar
for a pipe line to Whiting should be able
to transport his oil to an inland town in
Illinois over an all-rail line at the same
rate that we enjoyed by reason of our
pipe lines must appear absurd to any one
Are we to have no advantage because we
constructed these pipe lines? Is the
amount invested and the interest on that
investment to count for nothing Take
two men going to Boston; one uses an
$1,000 automobile to go to New London
and there takes the train. Is he to have
TO advantage on the rates from the man
who leaves New York and travels all the
way by raiI2 The case Of a shipment
