DoLLIvER TALKS WITH MOODY
They Discuss the Legal Points RAISED
by CIapp's Speech.

Senator Dolliver and Attorney Gen.
eral Moody conferred regarding legal
points raised Wednesday in the SEN
ate discussion Of the railroad rate bill.
The senator would not specify the
questions considered, but at the con-
clusion of the conference expressed the
opinion that the friends of the house
rate bill need have no fear that the
senate will be able to adopt an amend
ment which would add to the rights
the railroads now have in the courts.
He does not believe that the propo-
sitiOn suggested by Bailey, limiting the
power of courts of lesser importance
than the supreme court, will be ac-
ceptable to the senate. He says the
friends of the bill considered that cues
ton and abandoned it for the reason
that it did not appear to be constitu-
tional. DOlliver did not think that the
plan proposed by Spooner, providing
for the impoundment of the difference
between the commissioners rate and
the railroad rate would be feasible.
The attitude of Bailey was discussed
briefly by Dolliver. He said that many
persons seemed to think that it proved
that friends of the bill were divided
He took the position that Bailey's
views were more stringent than those
of other friends Of the BILL and did
not indicate that Bailey, or other Dem
ocrats for whom he speaks, were in
any way unfriendly to the pending
measure.

MILK AND WORK TRAIN MEET
Three Italians Killed, Others Wound

the CO!Iid;ng Crew.

Greensburg, Fa.. March 9.-Three
italians were kilieI outright and "a
score or more injured, several, it is be
ieved, fatally, in collision on the
Pennsylvania railroad near Ridebaugh,
Pa, between a milk train" and
work train filed with foreigners. The
work train was composed Of fiat cars
loaded with pipe for a pipe line which
the Pennsylvania railroad is building
from Indian creek to Pittsburg. About
seventy-fiye Italians employed at this
work were also aboard, and the train
had just pulled upon the main line from
a siding when it met the milk train"
in collision.
Immediately after the accident the
crew of the milk train went to the as
sistance of the injured, but were forced
to flee from the Infatuated Italians who
were crazed at the sight Of their dead
and dying countrymen. A number Of
the Italians rushed at the train crew
with threats of vengeance, and the
crew had to take refuge on it's engine
to escape the wrath Of the foreigners

EANY 0PIEI01s OF THE ELL
Different ways Proposed of Getting
Around the Review Difficulty.
tS4aIly a Matter of Choice Of Words
Only, but TrOu bIesome All the
= Same = DoIliver Talks
with Moody.

Washington, March 8. - Regardless
of the fact that the statehood bill was
the only question discussed in the sen
ate yesterday, the house railroad rate
bill continued as an absorbing topic
and groups of senators met in earnest
but informal consideration of the many
propositions that have been suggested
in the way of amendment. Without
doubt no bill has been before congress
in years that has been given so much
attention when the issue between the
opposing factions has been one that
could be settled through tlTe use of so
few words. The question is the choice
of the words.
Only Real Issue Is Review.
Judicial review of orders Of the in
terstate commerce comm si las from
the first been the only real issue be-
tween the opposing factions. One fac
tion-that supporting the bill in its
present fOrm-declares that it has no
objection to railroads having their day
in court, and it has made the asser-
ton that this is provided by the pres
ent bill. The other positive faction
contends that it wants the same thing,
but that the bill should provide for
this in specific terms.
Two Other Proposed Plans.
There are other factions which have
amendments, such as the Spooner plan
of impounding the difference between
the commissions and therailroads' rate
pending a determination of the equity
of the former, and the senators advo-
eating the Bailey proposition declaring
for full review by the courts, but linn
iting the power of the circuit courts
to enjoin the orders Of the commits
sion.
They Don't Know Where They're At
There are many senators who admit
frankly that they are not experts on
the subject of railroad rates, and that
they have been confused by the vari-
GUS plans that have been submitted.
These senators say that they will have
to await the debate on the bill before
they can feel certain Of their position.
On this account an accurate poll of
the senate cannot be made.
