ANOTHER MONTH OF DEBATE
Hllmsn Does Not Expect Vote on the Rate
Bill Before May /,
HEPBURN CONFIDENT IT WILL PASS
Suspicious Some OF the Amendments
OTered Arc for the Purpose OF
Rendering the whole
Act Invalid.
CFrom a stan Correspondent )

WASHINGTON. u. c., April 4--(SpeciaD
Senator Tillman despairs OF a vote on the
railroad rate bill before May and possibly
not before May Is. Representative Hep
burn of Iowa is confident that after the
senate has threshed over the railroad bill
for a few moro weeks it will come to the
conclusion that his measure contains every
fair provision for rate review and will
pass A. Representative Hepburn conferred
with the president on some other legislative
matters today, not touching upon the rail-
road rate question at all, but when he was
asked about the situation he unhcsitatlngly
declared his belief that the Hepburn bill
would eventually be passed by the senate
as the best solution Of the whole thing AMI
as the most promising in its constitution
ality.
Colonel Hepburn does not like to talk
about It or voice any suspicious but he is
by no means satisfied that some of the
amendments being offered are put up in
sincerity, their chief aim being to render
the bill unconstitutional.
