Elkins amendment to the railroad rate
bill was resumed in the senate today.
This amendment proposes to preYent in
terstate carriers from owning anu
operating coal mines or dealing in COM
modities which they transport
Senator McCumber offered a substitute
for the Elkins amendment, which he
claims to be simpler, while accomplish
ing the same purpose.
Senator Dryden opposed the Elkins pro-
vision, saying that If it should be &C
cepted without fixing a time for it to
go into effect every household in the
country would be injuriously affected by
IL He said it would take time to adj
just the coal industry to the provision.
Senator Teller also criticised the provis-
ion, saying that congress had no au-
thOrity to prohibit railroad companies
from mining coal or producing other ar
tcles. Congress must, he said, content
Itself with regulating commerce. not in
attempting to control production.

The last big crowd of refugees
passed through. the city Saturday
night on train No. 2, second section.
They were fed at Glenwood Springs.
through arrangements made from
this city
Alderman c. NJ. KecI. of Glenwood
Springs telephoned yesterday to
Mayor Bunting that they had fed
them inthat place in good style un-
der orders of the city council and
were ready to share the burden of
providing for the refugees passing
through there. with this city.
Sunday morning 80 refugees pass
ed through this city arrangements
were made to feed this small number
at Palisade, the train stopping at that
point under orders of superintend-
ent Choate. Notice was given Mayor
scroggins Of that place and in con-
junction with Finis Dean of the relief
committee. that party was also cared
for by the good people of the up river
town
a message from the west yesterday
was received that party of forty
would pass through the city this
morning on second section of No. 4.
As the party was small 1t was decid-
cd that II would be cheaper to feed
this number at the several restau-
rants at the Union station. or to be
explicit at the Gait and Zimmerman
restaurants than to open headquar-
ters and ask for contributions. II
was done and these refugees were
provided with warm meal and given
clothing from the supplies. which
have been gathered for this work
1t is believed that no large detach-
ments OF refugees will pass through
any more. The order of President
Hartman of the Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific that. no able bodied
men would hereafter be given free
transportation will doubtless act as
Ia bar to any great number of refu-
gees arriving In this city at one time.
The committee are considering
some plan. by which these can be fed.
without loss of food. which is the
chief matter to he considered. If
a call is made there is generally no
less than several hundred packages
received for feeding the refugees.
Should such a call be made ana only
forty or fifty need to be fed, the food
would go to waste.
Some means will be evolved to
care for the scattering bodies which
are liable to pass through and when
such arrangements are made the pub
lie will be duly informed.
