FEAR EFFECT OF EARTHQUAKE.
&c. & ~ T. : $50 go -
Senate Committees Reason for Favor
- inq Sea Level Canal

= Washington, May 18.-That the
earthquake which destroyed San Fran
cisco was an important factor in de-
termining the vote of the senate COM
mittee on interoceanic canals in favor
of a sea level type is apparent from
the fact that a feature of the majority
report is discussion of the effect
such an earth wave might have on
locks and dams. The majority report
in favor of a sea level canal was SUBJ
mitted by Senator Kittredge. On the
subject of danger from earthquakes
on the isthmus and the possible effect
on the two types of canal proposed
the report says:
The canal structures that would
be most exposed to injury by the pass
ing of an earth wave or violent move
ment Of the earth's surface are the
locks proposed by the minority, whose
walls, many hundreds Of feet, or even
1000 or 5000 feet long at Gatun,
would, at least some of them, be more
than seventy-five feet high and en-
tirely unsupported on one side save
for part of the height by water. If
these walls should be moved at all
the natural and probable result would
be in their leaning and so prevent
the closing of the gates-an injury for
which suggestion of extra gates on
hand would be useless, for no one
could guess the extent of the move,
ment. But the most likely effect OF
such shock would be the fracture of
these locks, in repairing of which
much time--months or years-might
be required and thus cause Interrupt
ton Of traffic or the abandonment OF
he4canal." Z&-j

GOING OUT OF BUSINESS.
Mormon Church Disposes of Several
Large Holdings.

Large Holdings.
Salt Lake City, May 1S.-The Nor
mon church is going out of business,
according to a local morning paper.
It's principal holding in Salt Lake, the
Utah Light and Railway company, is
to be taken over by $25, 100000 cor
poration composed of English and
American capitalists. The new COM
pany will also acquire the Ogden
street railway and build an electric
line from Juab county, Utah, to Oneida
county, Ida. 1t will be known as the
Inter-Mcantain Consolidated Railroad
company and will be incorporated
both in Utah and Idaho.
simultaneously the announcement
is made that the Salt Lake and Los
Angeles railroad, another church prop
erty, has been sold to local syndi-
cate for 100000. This road is thir-
teen miles in length and runs from
the city to the lake. President Joseph
F. Smith of the Mormon church is
quoted as saying that the divorce of
religion from business is made on &C.
count of the fact that the Mormons
whom the church sought to protect
years ago no longer need the protec-
ton of the church in business affairs.

REPEATS HIS CHARGES
Bailey Again Asserts President Gave Information to Cor
respondents. MAY be Rash and Impetuous--.
Says He is Not Guilty Of Double Dealing

Washington, May Is. - Senator
Bailey, in the senate during the day,
revived the scene Of the previous day
by having read letter he had written
to ex-senator Chandler asking him for
anything that he had written the pres
ident concerning himself and replies
from Chandler, including copy of,
Chambers diary giving . history of
his movements ON the day when a GER
tain memorandum was sent to the
president. 49, ~ So.
Senator Bailey quoted from the
New York Tribune and charged the
paper in its washington, correspond
ence with. modifying itsS lies"
.HeHreferred to, the report that the
memorandum was circulated among
Democratic senators. This he denied,
but he charged that the president
showed the memorandum to a Repub-
lican senator, and to a Republican
member Of the house He said that
the Chandler memorandum impugned
no bad faith to him. nor even to the
other senators. Senator Bailey de-
clared that the president did not
doubt his (Bailey's) good faith be-
cause three days after the memoran-
dunn was drawn up the president
through Chandler, asked him to confer
with the attorney general on the sub
ject.
Mr.. Bailey took up the reply of the
Chicago Tribune correspondent to his
denunciation and said that it did not
meet the situation. He quoted from
1t and intimated that the assertions
the correspondent made were based
on information obtained from the pres
ident or some one near him.
Mr.. Bailey said that he had been
charged with being impetuous, rash
and dictatorial, but no one had or
could charge him with double dealing.
When such a charge was made he
would brand across the forehead of

AFTER A LONG DEBATE.
Amendment Referring to Pipe Lines
Remains in Rate Bill.

Amendment Referring to Pipe Lines
Remains in Rate Bill.
Washington, May 1S.-When the
senate met it promptly entered upon
the consideration of the rate bill as
reported by the committee of the
whole.
Beginning with the first amendment
Senator Beveridge moved to strike
out the words Excepting gas lines,
natural and artificial from the opera
ton Of the provision making pipe
lines common carriers. The sugges-
ton was sharply antagonized by SEN
.ator Foraker, who charged that the
change is desired to meet the whims
Of somebody who wants to influence
legislation"
Senator Lodge, author of the amend
ment, admitted that he cared very lit
tie about the gas feature Of the pro-
vision. "My object" he said, lis to
bring the pipe lines of the Standard
Oil company under the jurisdiction of
the interstate commerce commission.
AS matters now stands it holds the
entire oil industry by the throat and
I think il" should. be- regulated. If
nothing is wrong the company will not
suffer-
After further debate Mr.. Beveridge
withdrew his amendment in order: to
permit Senator Taliaferro to present a
provision excluding only natural gas
for municipal purposes.
Mr.. Taliaferro's motion was reject
ed and the amendment left as it
stood before the controversy began.
The provision including express
companies and sleeping car companies
as common carriers was also left un-
disturbed. -
