argued hope of dividends be-
ing res the common stock

The contention was (even by some
directors of the steel corporation
that the plant should be paid for in
part or entirely out of earnings. and
that consequently the holders. of the

wait two years or more before reeeiy-

1t can now be stated on the author

set aside out of the earnings up to
June 80, 1906, is sufficient to cover
all the expenditures that will be made
on the plant during this year and

MORGAN BELIEVES
IN WATER ROUTES
WAY TO CHECK Ex0RBlTANT
FREIGHT RATES
Alabama Senator Takes Whirl at
the Rate BilI-Thinks Govern-
ment Will Eventually Own
All Roads
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, April 9.-Mr. Me-
Laurin and Mr.. Morgan addressed the
senate today on the railroad rate ques-
tion, the former advocating the legis-
lation and the latter opposing 1t.
The Mississippi senator announced
his intention to support am amendment
providing for O. court of review of the
decisions of the interstate commerce
commission and also stated his adj
herence to the Bailey act prohibiting
the temporary suspension of the COM
missions orders by the inferior courts.
He criticised what he characterized is
an effort to inject politics into the con-
sideration of the bill.
Mr.. Morgan took the position that
the proposed legislation was an inter-
ference with the rights of the states to
control the corporations created by
themselves, and said that the best way
to check exorbitant railroad rates was
to keep the waterways in such condi-
ton as to insure competition.
When Mr.. McLaurin concluded the
bill was passed creating the Mesa
Verde National park.
Mr.. Morgan in addressing the senate
on the railroad rate Aill, said that he
was opposed to the bill under consider
alton. known as the Hepburn+ Dolliver
bill, because it created a national COM
mission that would ultimately be under
the control of the railroads. He said
that the bill repealed a law that was
sacred to the English speaking people,
the right of trial by jury, and vested
in commission the right to determine
the reasonableness of q rate. He said
that the bill took away from the states
the right to determine what was a.
reasonable rate and vested the power of
determination ir a national comnlis-
sion.
Government Will Own Roads
In the end, he said, the United
States would own all the railroads a
condition which he did not like to con-
template. He spoke of the dangers of
the management of the railroads of the
United States by fifty magnates and
predicted "a cyclone of Socialism with
consequent wreckage of values as the
result of their unbridled control of
this great power. He believed the
states could control the roads single
handed, but if aiG from the national
government was necessary 1t could be
granted by a few simple enactments
without entering upon an effort to
regulate rates.
Mr.. Morgan argued that the proposed
enactment was intended to secure con-
troll of the railroads by a process of
construction, and he believed that in
as much as the railroads were private
property this was a violation of the
constitution, the taking of property
without due process of law.
Outlining the legislation he would
support, he said he would deny to
all railroads. the majority of whose
stock was controlled by another COM
pany or held in another state than that
in which fbn road was owned. the DriVi-
lege of doing an interstate business. He
said also that he should not favor
policy that would prevent a judicial
review of the findings of railroad
commission.
The senate adjourned at 4:25 p. M,
after an executive session of five min
utes duration.

AMONG ROYALTY
RUSSIANS ELECT MIX TICKETS.
DEMOCRATS AHEAD
City of Moscow Chooses 1850 Opposition
EIectors-MunicipaI Returns Show
Landslide Victory-Aus-
tria Wants to Lend
By Associated Press.

ST. PETERSBURG, J, April 9.-Belated
returns today only increase the magni-
tude of the opposition's victory.
Kursk returned solid progressive
delegation, headed by Prince Peter
Dologoroukoff.
M. Sherkoff, one of the members
elected to the lower house of parlia-
ment, is now in prison.
Vitebsk elected two Poles, a Catholic
priest, one progressive, two constltu-
tional democrats and two peasants
Vladimir, one of the old capitals of
Russia where the orthodox faith is
particularly strong. chose a monar-
chist but the electoral college elected
five constitutional democrats.
Tula is the only province except Mos
COW which elected majority Of con-
servatives.
The result in Moscow province con-
tinues an anomaly in elections. All the
constitutional democrats went down,
but the result was engineered through
a deal with the reactionists and a por-
tion of the Octoberists, who bought the
support of the peasants in the electoral
colleges by allowing them to name an
additional member. The bargain was
so distasteful to NJ. Shipoff, the promi-
nent ZemstoV leader. and M. Chetver-
ikoff that they declined to be parties
to it, withdrew their candidatures and
also induced the constitutional demo-
Gratis to withdraw their ticket, which
included Prince Paul Dologoroukoff,
Prince Galitzen, M. Kokoshkine, Prince
Mouromotzeff anc M. Golovin. AS a
net result the province of Moscow, the
real heart of Russia, sends to parl1a-
ment comparatively unknown men
two peasants, a workman, Prince Ga
garin, M. Bashoff, M. Krudner and
Peter Struve.
The Rech, organ of the Constitu-
tional Democrats, terms it a splendid
victory.
The Twentieth Century. formerly the
Ryss, which was recently suspended,
declares that the election proves the
strength of the opposition to the gov
ernment from Finland to the Caucasus.
A summary of the official returns up
to 6 o'clock this evening shows that
fifty Constitutional Democrats, twen-
ty-six Progressives and thirteen un-
classified members of the lower house
have been elected,

PASSES CHILD LABOR LAW
House Attends to District of Columbia
Business and Appoints Debating
Time on Postoffice Bill
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, April 9.-Notwith-
standing that this was district day in
the house, and that body resolved it.
self into a common council for the pur-
pose of making laws for the District of
Columbia, general interest was shown
in the bill requiring nonresident pupils
to pay tuition and regulating the en-
ployment of child labor. Mr.. Hepburn
of Iowa, replying to a long speech of
Mr.. Simms of Tennessee in which he
advocated government for the peo-
pie of the District of Columbia, made a
defense of the form of government, but
criticized its administration. He did not
think two newspaper men and one
army officer, who constitute the board
of commissioners the proper personnel
for such a government While he adj
mired the oratorical powers of news
paper men on the board he thought it
would be better for them to improve
the city streets than make speeches.
Incident to the discussion of bill af-
fecting the interests of insane persons
at st. Elizabeth asylum in this city,
MIR. stephens of Texas took occasion to
severely criticise the present secretary
of the interior, the asylum being un-
der the control of the interior depart-
ment. Mr.. Stephens said he thought
insane persons should be under the
control of the courts, and not under
control of any executive officer.
Child Labor Law
The house passed the senate bill i'm
posing a charge for tuition of nom
resident pupils in the public schools
of the district of Columbia; also bill
regulating the employment of child
labor in the district.
The bill makes it unlawful to employ
any child under fourteen years of age

specified above are prohibited from be-
ing employed in any workshop, res
taurant, hotel, saloon, apartment house,
club. theater, bowling alley, the senate
of the United States or the house of
the senate and the
house being inserted in the bill during
it's consideration.
The house at Sis adjourned until to-
morrow at IL o'clock, an agreement
having been reached during the after

eral debate on the postoffice appro-
priation bill might be completed In the
