about midday. His waking was com

ended he would start to seize a pen

say to the arguing counsel, What

harmless deceit was humored by the
bar, and only once did it provoke
tartness. This came when an old
sergeant retorted, Did your lord

Nailed to the Rate Measure.

Washington, May S.-The rate situ-
alton has taken another change,
and at the same time there was an ad
ditional step toward final agreement
as to what the judicial review amend
ment shall be- The Allison compro-
mise proposition met with slScI deter
mined opposition from those senators
who have fought against broad"
court review that, despite President
Roosevelt's acceptance Of it and his
declaration that other provisions he
had advocated were not vital, an
eral restrictions will he placed on the
review proposition. These were agreed
upon in consequence of many informal
conferences on the floor OF the senate
during the debate. The result is that
in return for comforting of jurisdic-
ton on circuit courts to review orders
of the commission, the friends of the
bill demanded and by agreement of
senate leaders will secure counter
concessions as follows:
That no order of the commission
shall be suspended or set aside by an
interlocutory order or decree without
a hearing had on the application
therefor, unless at least five days no
tice shall be given to the commission
of the time and place fixed for said
hearing; that such order shall not be
made until two judges of the court to
which application is made shall con-
cur in such interlocutory order or de-
cree; that an appeal from such inter
locutory order or decree may be taken
within 30 days from the entry thereof,
but shall lie only to the supreme court
of the United States; that the rate
making section of the bill shall not be
amended.
The senate adopted the Culberson
substitute for the Foraker anti-pass
amendment. to the rate bill. The sub
stitute reads as follows: THAT no car
