RAILWAY MEN HEARD
OFFICIALS TELL OF THEIR OWN
ERsHIP OF OUTSIDE STOCK.

Further testimony with respect to the
and oil stocks and properties was taken by
the interstate commerce commission today.
Two witnesses were examined Charles e.
Ways of Baltimore, assistant to the freight
traffic manager, and l.. r. BrockenDrou5h
of Pittsburg, general freight agent both
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany.
In answer to questions by the commits
sioners, M. Ways admitted that he at
present owns 1S9 shares of Merchants
Coal Co. stock, which he paid for in full,
except "a shares which were allotted to
him IN connection with a bond issue. In
addition, he said, he had 81 shares of diYi-
dend stock The balance he paid for at
par, 500 share. He declared that he be-
came stockholder when the company was
organized, about fifteen years ago.
Replying to Commissioner Clements, the
witness testified that he had no interest in
any oil properties or any other coal conf
paly or property. He said further, an
sWering question by ]. e. Wilson, assist
ant general counsel of the Baltimore and
Ohio. that he had nothing to do with car
distribution or the making of coal rates.
Mr.. Brockenbrough described his duties.
saying he had charge of the rates all
traffic except coal, coke and live stock,
but no such rates We're made by him with
out first consulting the freight traffic man
ager.
He was. he said, the owner of fifty shares
of Ursina Coal Company stock the property
being located on the Ursina and North Fork
railroad between Cumberland and Connells-
vile, an independent road. The stock, he
said, was given to him by George Humbert,
a promoter, who was trying to develop
lot of property at South Connellsville.
Humbert. he said, was a friend. who simply
was trying to help him in personal way
into secure industries. He never realized
a dollar. he declared, out of anything on
the Baltimore and Ohio road.
The witness was excused, and in reply to
Chairman Knapp Mr.. Wilson stated that
in all probability Mr.. Hale would again go
on the stand with respect to some of the
complaints in the matter of car distribu-
ton.
The hearing then adjourned until tomor-
row at Philadelphia, where 1t Is expected it
will continue for two days, and possibly
longer.

CALLS IT AN OUTRAGE"
Tillman Attacks Action of Conferees
on the Indian Bill.

When the Senate today resumed consid-
Grafton of the conference report on the
Indian appropriation bill Senator Tillman
renewed his attack upon the provision rati-
flying the acts of A. j. Brown as adminis-
traitor for certain minor children of the
Seminole tribe of Indians In the disburse-
ment of S1S3,000. He again denounced the
provision as an outrage" and when he
said the conferees had promised him to
make an effort to prevent the acceptance
of the paragraph, Senator Clapp, who was
one OF the conferees. interrupted with the
statement that he had refused to make
any such promise to the senator from
South Carolina because he had been ac-
cused OF bad faith by the latter on form
er occasion.
Mr. Tillman admitted the truth of this
statement, but said the promise had been
made by the other Senate conferees. His
objection TO the provision was based on
the ground that the proposed legislation
would prevent su is against Brown 10 re-
cover money Improperly accounted for by
Brown. He took especial exception to the
employment of Butler and Vale as attorneys
for Brown.
Senator Teller said that Browns accounts
as administrator had been approved by
the courts and that, the Indians were
citizens OF the United States, Congress was
under no especial obligation to open up
the question, especially as the claim was
made on the part OF indi .1,luals and not
for the tribe a whole.
'All that can be brought out In the
courts" Mr.. Tillman interrupted 10 say.
Il wish the senator woulI wait until
get through" responded Mr. Teller. II

Mr.. Hopkins had advanced the remarkable
doctrine that because he (Tiflman) had adj
mitted that the people of South Carolina
had stuffed ballot boxes and hanged negroes
for rape in order to protect their civiliza-
ton, 1t was perfectly permissible for the
people of Chicago to go on stealing, and
that he must be estopped from referring to
the matter.
He had read the newspaper article which
he safd showed that the Admirable fnan-
ciering" which Mr.. Hopkins had praised Sc
highly had been only wildcat banking
Senator Hopkins replied that the news

MONEY FOR POLITICS
Managers of Both Parties Wor-
ried Over the Bill.
PASSED. SENATE SATURDAY
Prohibiting Corporations From Giving
Campaign Funds.
IT'S ENTHUSIASTIC SUPPORT
Comes From Banks and Manufactur-
ers, Who Will Be Exempt If
the Bill Passes.
SENATE SATURDAY
IT'S ENTHUSIASTIC SUPPORT

The political managers of both parties in
Congress are very much disturbed over the
bill which passed the Senate last Saturday
prohibiting corporations from contributing
TO political campaign funds. The Senate
passed the bill without word of debate
and 1t is now before the House for further
attention. 1t is realized that there Is strong
sentiment in favor of the bill. but it's pass
age will seriously affect the political cam
paign committees in securing the sinews
of war for the coming congressional cam
paign.
II the bill is reported from committee
and comes before the House 1t is thought
that nothing can prevent its passage. The
recent disclosures brought out by the in
surance investigation of the contributions
of corporations to campaign funds have
created such a widespread sentiment OF
hostility to the existing system that it is
thought the House would not dare to vote
down the BILL
Senate Becoming Radical
Members of the House were commenting
today upon the fact that the Senate, " hich
has long been considered the stronghold of
conservatism. is this session demonstrating
a tendency TO radical action. The Senate
adopted some OF the most extreme amend
ments to the railroad rate bill. It was the
Senate which accepted, without a word of
debate the Beveridge beef inspection
amendment, and now the Senate mas sen.
to the House a bill which places the poiti-
clans in a most embarrassing pre- iicanent.
The bill makes it unlawful for any ma
tional hank or any corporation organized
by authority of any laws of Congress to
make money contribution In connection
with any election to any political office
The bill goes further and makes il urlaw
full for any corporation whatever. whether
Incorporated by act of Congress or not, to
contribute to campaign fund III a presi-
Dental or congressional election.
Corporations which violate this provision
shall be fined not exceeding 5000 and
who shall consent to any contribution shall
be fined in not of excess of 81, eco.
Its Enthusiastic Support.
The proposed law is being enthusiastica1-
ly supported by corporations, banks and
manufacturers throughout the country. as
they see in its provisions an opportunity
TO avoid being levied upon by the political
campaign committees through whose solc-
itation they have been subjected in the
past.
Many corpora tions in the District of Co
lumbia will welcome the bill Every head
of prominent corporation in this district
knows something about the successful eff
fort in the past of campaign managers to
secure from them contributions to the po-
htical campaign fund of the period. They
will be immune from such solicitation in
the future IL this bill passes

TIE WALSH BANK INQUIRY.
Mr.. Tillman Asks About the Status
of His Resolution.

few weeks ago, concerning the status of the
affairs of the Chicago National Bank, was
revived in the Senate today by an inquiry
made by Senator Tllman concerning the
status of his resolution for an investigation
of the course of that bank, of which John
r. Walsh was president. The inquiry was
directed to Senator Aldrich, chairman OF
the cmomittee on finance. before which the
resolution is pending.
Mr.. Tiliman prefaced his statement by
saying that when the resolution last re-
ceived the attention of the Senate Senator
Hopkins had taken exception to his inter-
est in the matter, and had used language
that was insulting to him. He added that

Republican fractional Troubles.
There is no denying the fact that the re-
publican party in the state is in the worst
mixed-up condition in its history. Odell
ard Higgins are at dagger points, and all
along the line the split seems to be as
deep as a we'll and wide as church
door. But whether twill suffice for DEM
ocratic, or Independence League" VIC
tory is decidedly another question The
grand old party people have a way of
mending all differences once the conven-
ton has made its selections, and they
usually go to the polls in phaianx fashis.l
However, there are always exceptions to
the rule, and this year may be one of
them AT present there is no evidence OF
a healing OF the republican wounds In
stead there is general Tightening up all
along the factional lines. Criminations
and recriminatfons are in the air, and
there are all sorts of silly rumors as to
the most unhearl-of combinations to de-
feat some other equally impossible COM
bination.
Senator Platt is going to have another
fling at state politics and has announced
his intention of taking decidedly active
part in the coming campaign. State Chair
man Odell is going to make the fight of his
life to retain control of the party. He
realizes that the next few months will de-
eide his position in the affairs of the state.
He is going into the fray with every APP
pearance OF relishing the contest. He has
recently been made bold by his capture OF
the executive committee of the New York
county republican committee, of which
Representative Herbert Parsons is presi-
dent. Gov. Higgins Is also cognizant of the
signs OF the hour. 1t is doubtful II he runs
again for governor, the belief growing that
he prefers to fight for the control of the
state from the background. The governor
has requested that no delegates to the state
convention be instructed for him. He will
be glad enough to have their support. but
he wants it placed in his hands in such
shape that he can throw it where 1t will do
the most good according to the exgencies
of the battle.
Popular Wonder.
In the meantime the people everywhere
are wondering why this outburst of politics
SO far ahead of the presidential year. or
course Mr.. Bryan's prospective homecom-
ing is accountable In a way, but the en-
thusiasm never would have been reused to
such a pitch as 1t 10 today If 1t were not
for the insurance disclosures and other evi-
dences of high corruption that have been
forced upon the people. They have been
given a feeling of unrest and there Is an
Impatient desire on their part to do some
thing-or somebody, it might be put. They
want to get into the fray and relieve their
pent-up feelings. There's the essence OF the
whole thing.
