Senate Committee Continues Discus.
Z. sion OF Rate Bill.
Washington, Feb. 13.-Many amend
ments to the Hepburn railroad rate
bill have been proposed in the senate
committee on interstate commerce and
are being discussed and laid aside to
be voted upon beginning next Friday.
The committee has not formally con-
sidered any amendment touching upon
the court feature, for, the reason that
the opponents of the bill in its present
form desire to perfect a plan for a
court review of orders of the inter-
state commerce commission before it
is offered. Senator Crane favors a
provision similar to that of the Esch-
Townsend bill and Informally has pre-.
sented such an amendment, but has
not urged it in any way. The discus
sion during the day was confined to
the Asst three sections with a ,view.ts1
pers,cfiRg them and it did not provoke
any controversy. 4 2y

The divers are prominent in Berke-

married in 1891, and they have since
lived in the college town. Their mar
ried life proved unhappy, principally
because of divers drinking habits, ac-
cording to the wife. He often went
home intoxicated, she says. and would
explain his condition by saying that
he had been drugged. Once he struck
her with his fist.
Judge Ellsworth granted an inter-
locutory decree of divorce to Frank
Sesteiro of Pleasanton from Mary Se-
steiro on the ground of desertion. They
were married at Mission San Jose in
December, 1894, and the wife left six
