At THE
THROTTLE
ERIE'FA FREIGHT FLIES
UNGUIDE0 FOR MILES

Binghampton, n. Y, Feb. l6.-Jos-
eph Leslie, a locomotive engineer up
on the Susquehanna division of the
Erie railroad was found dead at his
post today at Wellsburg. No dam
age was done because of the alertness
of the train crew.
Leslie, who was the engineer of 4
fast freight train, reached out of the
cab at Corning to catch orders handed
him in a ring, when his head struck
some projection and presumably he
was instantly killed. Passing through
Elmira his lifeless body hung out of
the engine cab, the head striking sem
aphores and gates, blood being spill
ed all along the tracks. The tower
man at Elmira noticed that the
freight was then running at the rate
of mile minute and they cleared
the track ahead.
The conductor made his way over
the train and set the alrbrakes. Tho
fireman was not aware Of the death
of the engineer until Wellsburg was
reached, the engine being of the
Mother Hubbard" type.

action was taken. Senator Foster de-
sires that express companies shall be
included, and gave notice that he
would call for a vote on such an
amendment at the next meeting of the
committee.
There was also a number of amend
ments offered to section l of the Hep
burn bill on the subject of what is
known as joint routes.
No. amendments were offered at the
session today which had any bearing
on the court features affecting rates
fixed by the commission. 1t has been
said that Senator Knox will prepare
an amendment on that subject accept
able to the president, but this rumor
could not be confirmed, Senator Aid
rich. who represents the action seek
ing to amend the bill, does not credit
the report. nor does Senator Dolliver,
who is seeking to have the bill passed
without amendment on that subject
Senator Spooncr's Plan.
Senator Spooner has plan relating
to the adjustment of differences be-
tween the Interstate commerce COM
mission and common carriers respect
ing rates, but he is not ready to make
the details public. This plan provides
that when a common carrier protests
against a rate fixed by the commission
and seeks a restraining order, the
common carrier may be compelled to
pay into the courts, weekly or month
w. amounts equaling the difference
between the rates established by the
railroad and fixed by the commission
These payments are to be held by the
courts pending the review and return
ed to the railroads in the event the
commissions order was declared un-
reasonable If the commissions or
der should be upheld the money held
by the courts could be paid, not to the
shipper, but to the producer of the
commodity shipped, Senator Spoonei
has not perfected the plan to his owr
satisfaction, but he is devoting a grea
deal of thought to it. 1t is said tha
supporters of the house bill would no
accept an amendment of that charac
ter for the reason that it does not ac
cept the operation of the commission
in fixing rates, and would tend to dis
courage frequent appeals.
Both republican factions express th'
belief that Attorney General Moody Il

on the subject of pending railroad leg
islation and that he is opposed to an!
amendments looking to the retrial o

vestigated a rate and corrected 1t |

decision is interpreted here as mean
ing that no reservoirs can be con-
structed on streams in Colorado that
are feeders for rivers either in or out
of the state where the government
proposes to build reservoirs for irriga-
ton purposes and is accepted as mean
ing that the southern California irriga-
ton project prohibits the building OF
reservoirs on the Grand and other riv-
ers in Colorado that are. sources of
supply of the Colorado river. The flood
waters of Colorado are valued at
$265, 100000, more than the total val
uation of property in the state, and
should the governments irrigation
plans reach considerable number of
the rivers, Colorado streams are feed
ers for. Coloradoans will be deprived
of valuable asset in its flood waters,
This can only be prevented, 1t is ar
gued, by local people gaining priority
rights over the government by build
| ing reservoirs on all Colorado streams.

Colorado Must Not

RIO Grande's S FIoqv
Important Federal Decision to Save
Water for Elephant Butte Dam.

Denver, Colo, Feb. 16.-The state
auditors office received information
today of ruling concerning flood wa
ters in the Colorado. which, 1t is be.
lieved, will bar individuals and irriga-
tion companies from using the flood
waters in this state under certain
conditions. Recently the Elk Creek
Canal company made application for
the right to construct a reservoir site
on Elk creek in Conejos county. the
location of the proposed site being on
government land.
The interior department refused the
application because, as stated in a let
ter conveying the decision of the de-
partment, the storing of water on Elk
creek would interfere with the flow in
the Rio Grande in New Mexico and
lessen the supply of water running in
to the Engle dam, one of the irrigation
projects the government is preparing
to construct on the Rio Grande. The

Absolute Repression or Liberal Treat

Witte Has Best Show.

st. Petersburg, Feb, 16.-lnforma-
ton has reached the Associated Press
that the desperate struggle which has
been raging in the government be-
tween the reactionary and progressive
forces is approaching a elimination
and must end within few days in the
resignation either of Minister of the
Interior Durnovo, who is leading the
movement for thorough going repres-
sion or of Premier Witte and several
other members of the cabinet.
The question at issue is the with
drawal of the extraordinary powers
confided in governor generals through
out Russia, which in many cases, 1t is
alleged, have been exercised for the
repression not only of political disor-
ders but also of the political activity
of the parties. The discussion has
reached such an acute and passionate
stage in the cabinet that no other is
sue than the fall of one faction or the
other is possible
| The chances of victory incline to the
side Of Count Witte.
