DEATH OF AN ESTI-
MABLE WOMAN.
Mrs. ]. J. Lynch Passes Away
at San Jose, Cal.

Our little community was shocked
yesterday afternoon when the news was
spread around town that Kate, beloved
wife OF J. j. Lynch, had died suddenly
at her home in San Jose, CAL, Tuesday
night Of heart trouble.
With this announcement we are again
impressed with the fact that an the
midst OF life we are in DEATH
1t is hard to realize that this good
M is no more for just a few short
weeks ago, she, with her two little child
rem, arrived here to spend the holidays
with her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. A. Lay
ton, and although she has been a sufferer
from heart trouble for a long time past.
she seemed to be enj Dying good health
and was in the best Of spirits during her
visit here. Only last Thursday she de-
parted for San Jose to join her husband
at that place and in less than a week she
is wrapped 10 the cold embrace OF death.
EXPRESSIONS of sympathy at such a time
though sincere and eminati ng from
bleeding hearts is but poor consolation,
indeed, and one can only bow in silence
and hope that the God who gave the life
its brief ~sojourn, will help to support the
sorrowing relatives in their affection.
About eleven years ago she became the
bride of j. j. Lynch and their married
life has been one of JOY and happiness.
The death of Mrs. Lynch came as a
thunderbolt from a clear sky. 1t was
such a short time ago WI saw her
amongst us; it seems beyond reason to
know that she is now in the casket, cold
in death. That life has fed it is hard to
believe, but believe it we must. The
ways Of the Almighty are indeed very
mysterious and far beyond the compre.
hension of mortal.
There is deep gloom over the sad news
in every household in this town, where
she passed so many years OF her life.
The aged parents could not both leave
as Mrs. Layton is too inirm, but the
father was DOR prepared for the sad
trip. Tottering with the weight of griei

Senators Carter and Clark were sue
cessful in knocking out or changing an
amendment to the railroad rate bill
which would have prohibited the rail-
roads OF the west from hauling coal or
any commodity in which they are in.
terested. The amendment was intend
ed to meet conditions down in Penn
sylvania and West Virginia and to
prevent the great railroad systems
from engaging in the coal business and
forming trust. The general applica-
ton of such a provision in the law
would retard the mining development
of the west. as in some instances it has
been found necessary for mining oper-
ators to build and own their own rail-
roads. 1t has also been necessary for
pioneer railroads to own and open up
coal fields for their own use, as well
as for the settlers. OF course. con-
sress has no desire to injure the west
in framing law to tighten the grip
on the Octopuses, but it simply shows
how important it is that the rate law
be constructed so that it will accom-
pllsh its purpose without being harm
ful to industries that are conducted
legitimately.

THE PRESIDENTS DENIAL.

dressed to Senator Allison, vigorously
denies the statement credited to him
by ex-senator Chandler. that he had
lost all confidence in certain Republi.
can senators in the matter of securing
a satisfactory railroad rate law and
would have to rely upon Democratic
senators in securing such measure.
The president insists that there was
no chance for any honest misconcep-
ton of his attitude as regards amend
ments to the bill. He was not "ple1lg-
ed specifically to one. and only one
amendment or set of amendments, but
would be satisfied with any amendments
which preserved the essential features
of the Hepburn bill as it came from
The house
Whether Mr.. Chandler misunder-
stood the president or wifully mis-
quoted him through 'iispleasure at the
formers acceptance of the Allison
amendment or whether the president
made some such statement on the i'm
pulse of the moment, may never be
known. In any event it doesn't seem
TO be matter of very great impor,
tance even though the president has
dignified it with a denial
In a matter Of veracity between the
president and William e. Chandler
the people will prefer to believe the
former.
As a matter of fact the Democrats
Of the Bailey-Tillman class are sore
because the president, in accepting the
Allison amendment destroyed their
hopes OF Witnessing a rupture among
Republican senators on the rate ques.
ton.
The charge that the president has
weakened and that the Allison amend
ment would open the way for broad
court review is denied by him and he
is sustained in his view by such emf
nent lawyers as Secretaries Root and
Taft. Upon this point the president
expresses himself as follows:
Shortly after this you in company
with Senator Cullom, called upon me
with the amendment which is now
commonly known as the Allison
amendment. | told you that. while
should prefer the Long and Overman
amendments. Yet that your amendment
was entirely satisfactory Your amend
ment does not in the slightest degree
weaken or injure the Hepburn bill.
1t merely expresses what its friends
have always asserted was implied by
the terms of the bill. | may add that
my own opinion, that your amendment
in no way changed, whether by dimin-
ishing or charging the scope of the
court review as provided in the orig
inal Hepburn BILL is also the opinions
OF the attorney general of Mr. Root
and Mr.. Taft. Their judgment is that
the amendment merely avoids the crit
lcism that the Hepburn bill would be
consttutionally invalid in not express
ly providing the court review, which
its supporters have always contended
was plainly implied in the original Ian.
guage. The original Hepburn bill stat
ed that the venue in certain actions
was in certain courts; the amend
ment states that the courts shall have
jurisdiction to consider such actions
To my mind, it seems difficult TO assert
that this works any change whatever
in the principle of the bill
