victim. Then the aunt, who had abetted
him, fell before the young girl. When

act. She had atOned for her sin, com
mitted in all innocence, and could not
see where she had dis1beyed the coun-

MONDAY EVENING. MAY 7. 1906.

THAT the President WAS tricked or
blnfed into accepting the sO-called Al
lisnn court review amendment to the
railroad rate bill is now The general
o,inion in Washington. That he realizes
he made a mistake in publicly commit
tirc himself to the amendment Is in
dictated by expressions in a statement
given out about the matter at the White
House Saturday afternoon. 10 this
statement the Presidents repr, scented as
sill desirious that the Long aud Over
man amendments should also be inserted
in the rate bill although he does not re-
gard these as of vital importance. The
Long amendment limits the courts to
passing on the questions whether the In
tcrstale Commerce Commission exceeded
the powers conferred on it, and whether
the constitutional rights Of the railroads
are invaded by orders of the commission.
The Oyerman amendment provides that
the commission shall be heard before
ipinnctious against its orders issue.
and that such iDjunctiOns shall be
signed by two judges. The fact
that the President harks back to these
amendments shows be has been
made 20 realize that the so-called
AllIsor amendment will, it it goes
into the rate bill, authorize the courts
10 exercise the widest power in
dealing with all orders OF the
Interstate Commerce Commission. IL
will give the conservative Senators all
that the most extreme Of them contend
ed for-the broadest kind OF court re-
view. The democratic Senators keenly
appreciate the position in WHICH they
have been placed Several weeks ago
they promised to cooperate with the
President in support Of the most limited
judicial review amendment to the Hep
burn bill and the prohibiting of temper
AIRY restraining orders. Now The Presi
dents Aatfooted approval OF the most
broad judicial review proposed yet sug-
gesied, aud his Reputation OF the anti
injunction feature has angered the DEM
ocrals. Senator Bailey has called the
Presidents concurrence to the new
amendment "a complete surrender "
Senator Tillman is reported as calling 1t
can abiect surrender by Mr.. Roosevelt
to the railroad Interests" Senator NAL
lory declares that it provides for the
broadest possible court review, and II
adopted the pending bill will be utterly
ineffective.

WHILE no exact estimate of the ssea

tons can be made at this time. it reacht
an enormous amount, more than half OF
which must be borne by the minework-
ers. This sum will be at least 81 :, 900,
600, basing the estimate on the monthly
production of 5000, 600 tons OF coal,
selling at tidewster for So ton.
Another estimate, which is considered as
conservative, gives the amount lost by
the operators, railroads and landowners
as SIC, 900, 600, while the minswOrkers'
loss will amount to as much more.

The Belmont campaign publicity bill
ON Saturday received II Knockout blow
in the HOnse committee on the election
of the President, Vice-President and the
Representatives in Congress, and will
not be consider further this session. The
committee decided that the measure as
framed i, impraclcable. This puts an
end to all hope of action by Congress on
the campaign publicity measures at this
session. The Belmont bill is really that
of the National Publicity League, and
was introduced for that organization by
Mr.. Mccall, of Massachusetts,. The
bill is intended as practical solution OF
the difficulties attending the making OF
national law to prevent the m suse OF
money in elections. The measure seeks
to attain this end by making it compul-
sorry on political committees engaged in
promoting the election of Representatives
or Of presidential electors 10 report their
contributions to the clerk of the House
of Representatives This of course
would have cut fl the contributions of

its munitions Of war which the leaders
would not stand for, SO the campaign
