COMMITTEES SPLIT.

Washington, Jan. 19.-As the session
OF congress progresses it becomes more
evident that President RooseveIt's
freight rate policy is in danger of fail
ure. This is due to the inability of
either the senate or house committees
to agree on bill along the lines sug-
gested by the administration.
In the senate committee, the Dolliver
bill now has no backing practically
save that of the author of the meas
ure- The Iowa senator's version of the
administration programme was sup
posed to be agreeable to at least three
of the Republican members of the
mmittee=Dolliver, Cullom and
Clapp-and the Democrats
The failure of the bill, however, to
embody some provision to present dis
examination between commodities and
localities is said to have lost for it the
support of four Democratic members.
These, with the three Republican votes
would have controlled the committee
and made it possible to adopt the Dol
liver bill as majority report.
AS a result the Democrats have
drawn up a bill of their own, which is
more radical than the Dolliver meas
ure.
The other faction of the Republican
members of the committee, composed
of Elkins, Kean, Foraker, Aldrich, and
possibly Crane, are against the Dolliver
bill, and are expected to favor the
Elkins bill. which is along conservative
lines. Senator Clapp recently sided
with the EIkins faction, and Senator
Cunoms enforced absence leaves
Senator DOlliver practically alone.
The house committee has two Re
publican factions. Representative
Hepburn has his bill in and claims for
it the approval of the White House
There is also the Esch-TOwnsend bill
remodeled from the measure that was
passed at the last session. and there is
no intention on the part of the auth ors
to be deprived of the honor of being
the sponsors of this legislation.
They find fault with the Hepburn bill
because it does not embOdy the recon-
mendatiOn of the interstate commerce
commission for minimum and maxi
mum rates to be fixed by the commits
sion
The Democrats of the house refuse
to accept either of the Republican
ideas and have drawn bill that will
prevent the commission under any
consideration from raising a freight
rate.

WILL LOSE IT'S TERMINALS.
d. e. & G. Will Not Extend to Okla
hOma City.

D. H.. ~ j.. W HI MOI E4AtCl1lA 10 NJlKA8-
homa City.
Enid, Ok. Jan 19-President Young,
of Enid, the new head of the Denver,
Enid & Gulf railroad was here yester-
day with Ed L. Peckham, vice presi-
dent and general manager of the same
road, looking over the interests of the
company here They inspected the new
freight house and will decide within
few days if the building shall be COM
pleted. Work on it was ordered stop
ped when the sale of the D. Z. & 6.
to the Santa Fe was announced.
The freight house is we'll under way
and the walls of the first floor are al
most completed. The eight foot con-
crete walls for the foundation are al
ready built and the cost of their con-
struction would be a total loss if the
building is not completed as the con-
crete could not be torn out and used
again. The cost of finishing the build
ing would amount to about the same
sum as is already invested in the foun-
datiOn. The brick IS already on the
ground and a considerable amount of
the brick work done. The woodwork
is also in position for the first floor.
When questioned as to the possible
extension of the road from KioWa to
Dodge City to connect with the Santa
Fe at that point Mr.. Young said.
Next week Mr.. Peckham and I will
go out to see that part of the line and
will look over the proposed route from
Kiowa on west. AS yet I have been
too busy getting acquainted with the
operation of the line as it is completed
to take much consideration of the ex-
tensions. However. if the line is built
it will be done by the d, E. & G., and
not by the Santa Fe. As you know,
we are operating independently although
the stock is owned by the Santa Fe."
In discussing the terminal proposition
for Oklahoma City Mr.. Peckham said:
1.-The sale of the road of course stop
ped the idea of building the Oklahoma
city terminals and the entrance of our
road into that place. The people there
have only themselves to blame for the
failure to get the line as they put off
their chance. If they had been ready
so days ago it is probable that the ter
nainais would have been built and the
D.. E. &. G. run into oklahoma City. e

WHITE WINGS AGAIN.
Street Commissioner Ramsey Would
Put Them Back in Service.

The White Wings which once on KAN
sas avenue roamedf will proba bly, roam
again That is at least if Street Com
missioner James Ramsey has his way
about it.
Shortly after the wave of white wing
INDUSTRY swept from New York west
ward to the coast they were introduced
to Topeka streets. Colonel Warning of
New Hork was the man who brought
them into prominence and patented the
iron wagons and other para phernalia
/ which goes with the complete outfit.
The white wings -prosr cred in Topeka
until under the Park ar administrati ton
when they were retired to the back
ground under the belief that it was more
expensive to clean the streets that way
than to engage wagons and shovelers
They have flashed back into the public
gaze at rare brief intervals since. but
they have never proved a lasting institu-
ton since their eclipse during the Par
ker regime.
The iron dump carts were brought
into service last summer and this last
fall and four of the street force were
shifted into the white suits. But it was
simply a temporary arrangement of
Street Commissioner Ramsey. The carts
were worn out and the brushes and
other necessities had passed a stage of
usefulness. Hence the retirement again
of the white wings The dirt on Kan
Sas avenue is taken care of now by
street sweepers and on the off days
shovelers and wagons are sent up and
down the streets to collect the dirt.
There is no romance in a wagon, how
ever, and none of the delightful air Of
mystery which surrounds the white
wings.
"The cleaning of these downtown
streets is done more effectively and
cheaper by the white wing method than
any other" said Street Commissioner
Ramsey.
You take a street like Kansas avenue
and it is necessary to keep cleaning all
the time in order to keep it looking any
where as if it were clean. This the man
with the iron push cart accomplishes.
He is right there on duty all the time
AS soon as the offaI and filth accumu-
lates he is on the spot with his shovel
and ScoOping it into the sacks. It is a
sanitary and quick way to dispose of the
dirt. With shOVeIers and wagons you
can work faster but it is not as cheap
neither is it as effective. In the sum-
mer months especially it is imperative
to keep these downtown business
streets as clean from dirt as it is pos
sible to clean them. Flushing with wa
ter would be a quick and simple method
but water should not be used upon
asphalt streets; this is something which
all the asphalt experts are agreed upon
They advise against sprinkling asphalt
streets with water.
Il am thinking seriously of putting
back the white wings into active ser
vice again. We win have to buy new
carts. I am planning to put on a larger
force of men and have the cleaning of
these side streets as we'll as Kansas
avenue, Quincy and Jackson streets
done by these white wings. A force of
about eight men would be ample to do
this To tell the truth no one has been
able to improve on this system. It was
the one Colonel Warning devised and he
is without doubt one of the greatest
sanitary engineers we have ever had. -

POISON IN FOOD.
Former Governor Peabody and Family
of Colorado Near Death.

Denver, Jan. ia News special
from Canon City, Col, says that former
Governor James H. Peabody. his wife
food eaten at breakfast and that the
daughter. Miss Cora Peabody. is in a
dangerous condition as a result The
governor and Mrs. Pea body. although
quite ill for several hours, recovered
sufficiently to devote their attention to
the daughter. Physicians are in attend
ance upon the young lady, and unless a
change for the worse comes soon they
believe she will escape serious conse-
quences.
An air of mystery surrounds the af-
9air- Enough was CLEANED from friends
OF the family to show that there is a
belief that an attempt was made to de-
EtrOy the family by poisoning. An in
innate friend of the PeabOdys said that
several letters had been received by
the former governor within the past
week or two calling his attention to the
manner Of the death of former Cover
nor Steunenberg of Idaho, and theraten-
ing him with a similar fate.
Referring to the experience his fam
fly went through Governor Peabody
said:
AT do not want to say where I think
the responsibility lies until the results
of the investigation now being made are
known"
Mr. Peabody was governor of Color
ado during the labor troubles at Cripple
Creek and Telluride when troops took
possession of the two camps, and dur
ing which time the independence depot
dynamite disaster happened.
