LIKE AMENDMENT
Other Democratic Senators Will Also
Refuse to Vote for New Pro-
visions When the Bill
Comes Up
BY Associated Press.

by Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, April 1. - Senator
Tillman who has charge of the rate
bill III the senate, said tonight he was
not satisfied with the court review
amendment measure which was agreed
on yesterday between President Roose-
welt and several Republican senators
who are supporting the bill and mem-
bers of the interstate commerce COM
mission.
He said he would oppose it on the
floor of the senate and he expressed
the opinion that. not half a dozen OF
his Democratic colleagues would sup
port the amendment.
Senator Tillman declares the amend
ment does not meet the situation fully
inasmuch as it makes no provision set
ting forth practically that there shall
be no suspension Of the railway rate
fixed by the interstate commerce COM
mission pending the judicial determira-
ton of any case which may be APP
pealed from the rate established.
Not in Favor of Amendment
This is Il contention which Senator
Tillman and a number of Democratic
senators have urged. as they argue that
a. failure to prove absolutely against a
suspension of the rate operates to null
lify the objects for which the legislation
is desired.
The senator added that he would
prefer to vote for the house bill as 1t
stood than to accept the amendment,
for the pending measure gave the right
of review where constitutional questions
are involved.
The proposed amendment was dis
cussed generally today among groups
of Democratic senators, but there was
no conference ON the subject among
them.
Senator Spooner was at the White
House tonight in conference with PreSi-
dent Roosevelt, presumably ON matters
connected with rate legislation.

Many rumors are afloat to the effect
that the revolutionists intend to create

A number of rich New York mer-

$4,000 soldiers and the expenditure of
$5.000,000 in the combination under

sr'ccial 10 The Herald.
SAN DIEGO, April 1.-The body of
James Weldon was found floating in the
bay this morning near the foot of
Twenty-second street and there was
plenty of evidence to show that it had
been in the water for only a short time.
The tide had carried the body float
ing face downward. onto the flat lands
near the edge of the bay and had left
it there in the mud.
There was nothing about the person
of the deceased to show who he was,
but at the morgue he was recognized
.as James Weldon, a soldier, who has
been here for several weeks on q fur
lough from the Soldiers home at Saw
telle.
About Seventy-five Years Old
He is about rs years old and seems
to have been given to over-indulgence
in liquor having been in police court
a time or two since he has been here.
Last night he was taken to the police
office, but he declared his ability to
take care of himself. He showed that
he had money, both gold and silver,
and that he had d room paid for. He
seemed able to go to mis- room and the
officers started him in that direction.
The fact that the money he had at
the time he left the police office is
missing, gives foundation for the belief
that the old man met with foul play,
but there are no marks of any kind on
the body. and thus far the police have
been unable to unearth anything to
support the theory on which they are
working

The six Americans now serving ir

it is said, is opposed to the elective
senate idea ON the ground that the
island is not yet ready for such a step.
