REGULATION OF RATES.
Provisions of the Bill Prepared by
Senator Elkins.

Senator Elkins, chairman of the Senate
committee on interstate commerce, has
made public his bill for the regulation of
railroad rates which he purposes to offer
for the consideration of Congress. In dis
cussing it he makes no claim that it Is per-
feet, but declares that it is the best he can
do. He says that the railroads are not sat
isfied with it, and that ne has not learned
what other interests will think of It, The
commission is increased from seven to nine
members. Expenses of litigation are to be
borne by the United States. The bill has
not been completed fully.
1t provides that whenever the interstate
commerce commission shall believe that a
carriers rate fare or charge Is unjust or
unrea sonaible, or that a railway Is making
unjust discrimination violating any pro-
vision of the interstate commerce act, the
commission may institute court proceed
ings to restrain the railway from continu-
ing his Objectionable course of action.
The court may restrain the carrier from
continuing in force the rate, fare or charge
complained of on after date to be
specified in the order or decree. If the
carrier fail to obey within the time speci-
fed the commission may make an order
putting in force a just and reasonable rate.
Suoh an order Is to take effect in not less
than ten days after notice to the carrier.
Any carrier, officer representative or agent
of a carrier who knowingly violates any
such order of the commission is to forfeit
81, 900 for each day of violation.
An appeal to the United States Supreme
Court from the court proceedings may be
made within sixty days. but this will not
stay the decree unless ordered by a circuit
court or United States Supreme Court
nudge

RIoTING AT HAMBURG.
Over Twenty Shops Plundered-Move-
ments by Socialists.

z BERLIN, January 1s.-The demonstra-
lions at Hamburg yesterday against the
proposed new election law assumed more
serious aspect last night than indicated In
previous dispatches. A barrica6e was erect
ed in one of the streets leading to the fish
market and the police were firmly resisted
until midnight In attempting to dispense
the rioters the latter opened fire with every
kind of weapon and about twenty police
men were wounded, one of whom has since
died.
The demonstrations are mainly organized
by socialists and are intended as a protest
against the proposed election law, which
partly DISTINGUISHES the poorer classes.
Over twenty shops were plundered. The
number Of rioters wounded Is not known,
but more than a dozen men were treated at
one drug store. Some of these were Sc
rdolsly wounded. A policeman broke the
skull of twelve year-old boy who was try
ing to turn out a street lamp
Police headquarters today ordered all
drinking places in the riot district to be
closed at 6 O'Clock in the evening, the hour
when the wharf and shipyard workmen re-
turn to work.

LIVELY MEETING.
In Room of House Committee on Ter
ritories

There was another lively time in the
morning. hearing on the statehood
question was supposed to be the subject
of the meeting of the committee, but there
was so much time given up to squabbles
between members. denunciatory remarks by
of the proceedings was rather overshad-
owed. At one time the exchanges between
Representative Lloyd of Missouri and
Chairman Hamilton of the committee, and
Delegate Mark Smith and Mr. Hamilton
ute as If personal physical mix-up might
result. But Mr.. Hamilton, who at one
stage Of the colloquy with Delegate Smith
had started halfway out of his seat, his
eyes swapping and his hands clenched,
managed to get grip on his anger, and
the scrap was confined to verbal fisticuffs.
Another sensational feature of the d.
verted hearing was a statement by former
Gov. n. o. Murphy of Arizona, who
said that If the man who had started the
report that the Arizona lobby in Washing
ton was using money as a. corruptive In
fluence would sign his name to a state
ment to that effect he would guarantee to
send him to the penitentiary. He branded
the statement as false and malicious ana
said he would stick to this. no matter who
the man was who had started 1t or how
high he was in public Office Mr. Murphy
had half completed still more sensational
utterance, comparing the reported use OF
money by the Arizona delegation with the
reported promise of public buildings by the
House leaders in exchange for votes for
the organization statehood bill, when he
was sternly interrupted by Chairman Ham
ilton Altogether, the meeting of the COM
mittee today, while not highly successful
as a hearing, was in the first rank as
thrill producer.

VIEW OF TYPOTHETAE
STATEMENT IN RESPONSE TO
TYPO UNIONS CHARGES.

The Typothetae of Washington, through
Mr. George E. Howard of ia 18th street
northwest, one Of its leading members to-
1a3' made a statement in refutation of
charges made at recent meetings of the
striking union printers that the typothetaes
are trusts. also as to the alleged methods
of the association of employing printers in
fixing the rates to be charged by it's MEM
SerS for book and job printing. Mr.. How
ard said
lnasmuch as l was drawn into a duel
with the printers committee at the confer
ence of December last between representa-
tives of the Typothetae of Washington and
Columbia Typographical Union as to the
matter of fixing rates for printing, ! was
selected to make this statement. l now
say and substantiate my statement by ref
erence to the stenographic report made
during that conference. that the Typothetae
OF Washington never has fixed arbitrary
rates for printing. and that competition be-
tween the printing firms Of this city, men,
berS Of the Typothetae, has been absolutely
open, fair and free.
IF, for instance. / should bid on mat
ter of printing, naming 500 as my price,
any other member of the Typothetae would
be at liberty to underbid me. even giving
as low as $25 his price, without violating
any law or rule of the Typothetae.
The organization was almost purely So
cial until this strike came on, and then it
sivc in order to protect our business inter
ests and to meet organized force with or
ganiZed resistance.
Il thought these facts had been proven
conclusively to the members Of the Typo
graphical Union at our conference with
them on December I, when Secretary Sci
bold is shown by the stenographic report
to have said to me:
You have the appearance of a man who
would tell the truth, and l am willing to
accept your word for it,
n he
made reply:
Laying all other things aside. 1 would
not belong to an organization that would
dictate to and tell me what have to
do B"
The decision to make public this state
ment was reached at a full meeting of the
Typothetae, held last night in the rooms
of the association.
Chairman T. c. Parsons of the printers
eight-hour committee said to a Star re-
porter this afternoon that there was MOTH
ing new on the printers side of the con-
troversy, but that the men We're all hope
full and happy.

This Governments Attitude.

1t is not possible to secure in advance a
statement of the position of our own gov
eminent in the event that France under
takes punitive measures against Venezuela.
There is reason to believe that up to the
time the incident occurred at La Gual-a,
resulting in the deportation of NJ. Taigny.
the French government itself had not form
ed definite plans as TO the treatment OF
the Venezuelan question. SO that any deci-
sion that may have been reached at Paris
certainly is of very recent occurrence ana
has not yet been communicated to this gov
eminent.
A fact that Is admitted at the Depart
ment OF State is that there is not the
least idea of involving the United States
in any alliance with France or any ether
European power in the settlement of the
Venezuelan trouble, notwithstanding tie
fact the State Department has outstand-
ing many accounts with Castro's govern
maalt.
The interests of Great Britain and Ger
many IN the free collection o. cus:oms
dues at Venezuelan ports eompiicate the
situation. as they would naturally ohjert
to q blockade which would cut off their
revenues.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.

The House united in q tribute to the frig-
ate Constitution on convening today. The
chaplain in his prayer eufogiZed the old
ship. Ii was followed by the presentation
Of handsomely prepared petition: tributes
by Mr. Mccall (Mass). Mr. Sulzer On. Y)
and the adoption OF a resolution from the
committee on rules directing the House
committee on naval affairs 10 ascertain the
annual cost of proper care for the old
frgate.
In presenting his petition Mr.. Mccall said
II was in behalf OF the most glorious ship
that ever fioated the American fag-'1 may
say" he continued. 'The most historic war
ship that ever sailed the ocean.
Mr.. Mccall closed with protest against
an understood plan that the ship be taken
out to sea and blown UP and was greeted
with applause.
Mr. Sulzer, who followed, referred to a
resolution to the same end he had intro
duced early in the session.
An unsuccessful effort was made by Mr.
Gillespie cTex) 10 secure consideration of
his resolution calling upon the Attorney
General for information regarding an al
legged combination In violation of the COM
merce law between 'the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company, the Pennsylvania Company.
the Norfolk and Western Railway Com
pany, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company. the Philadelphia. Baltimore and
Washington Railroad Company and the
Northern Central Railway Company and
pany." Because the resolution was con-
strued to cali for a conclusion 1T was
held not TO be privileged.
On motion of Mr. Curtis (Kan) the
House took UP IN committee of the whole
his bin providing for the final disposition
OF the affairs OF the five civilized tribes in
the Indian territory. Mr.. Curtis took the
floor for an explanation of the bill.

WHIPPING POST BILL
MR. ADAMS EXPLAINS TO THE
HOUSE DISTRICT COMMITTEE.

At the regular meeting of the House Dis
trict committee today Representative Der
tie" Adams of Pennsylvania was heard IN
q twenty minute talk on his whipping post
bill. Mr.. Adams urged before the commit
tee the same arguments which he has pre-
viously made on the floor of the House
and in interviews published In The Star
and elsewhere
He says that his bill for the establishment
of a whipping post in the District of CO.
lumhia for wife-beaters has the strong in
dorsement OF President Roosevelt, Commits
sioucrs West. Mcfarland and Blddle
Major Sylvester of the metropolitan police
and many others whose views on this sub
ject should be given earnest consideration
he said he had been informed by Major
Sylvester that there has been sos complaints
of wife-beatlng in the District of Columbia
within the past two years.
These were only the cases in which COM
plants had been made. Doubtless there
We're many others which had not come to
light.
In his opinion, Mr. Adams said it would be
vastly better to send wife-beater to the
whipping post and let him return to his
family than to send him to jail, support
him at the expense of the taxpayer, and
perhaps even support his family while he
was in jail. Certainly this latter condition
would naturally follow If the family of
the wife-beater, as was so often the case,
happened TO be in destitute circumstances.
Extension of Streets.
The committee passed a resolution for the
appointment of a committee of three to In
vestgate and report upon the status of
laws in the District of Columbia with refer
cree 10 the opening and extension of
streets. Chairman Babcock appointed Rep
resentative Olcott of New York chairman
of this special committee. with Repre-
sentative Taylor of Ohio and Representa-
tive Kline of Pennsylvania This action by
the committee is the direct result of the
late unpleasantneSs on the floor of the
House last District day. when so many
members severely criticised the present
appraisement and condemnation methods
employed in street openings.
The committee then authorized a favor
able report on the dill providing Tor an
amendment to the act appointing a sealer OF
shall deliver coal or coke in the District
of Columbia unless the driver of the cart
at the time of delivery has printed GER
titicate, signed by the seller, showing sep
arately the actual weight of the load the
name of the purchaser, the weight of the
wagon and the total weight of the load and
vehicle.
The committee also authorized the SUBJ
committee on ways and means to favorably
report the fire escape bill after having
made such amendments to II as 1t deemed
right and proper. This bill provides that
ire escapes must be erected on all build
over thirty feet In height intended to be
used as a tenement house, MOTEL. office
building, college or variety of other pur-
poses.

COMMENDS FOSS BILL
SECRETARY BoNAPARTE BEFORE
HOUSE NAVAL COMMITTEE.

Secretary Bonaparte was before the
House committee on naval affairs for
three hours today. engaged in an extended
discussion Of hazing at the Naval Acad-
envy. Mr.. Bonaparte was asked about the
Foss bill, which empowers the Secretary
of the Navy to dismiss midshipmen who
engage in hazing. He said he believed the
bill was a good one and would do much
TO better conditions at Annapolis.
In response to questions concerning the
hazing trials by courts-martial which are
now in progress at the Naval Academy
Mr.. Bonaparte said he had no idea when
they would end, and expressed the opinion
that il would be impossible to discover
the actual conditions until the investiga-
tion by the courts-martial were concluded
