APPREHENSION FOR THE POPE

me-Although the condition of
the pope is not grave, some apre-
hension is felt at the frequency of
the equity attacks through exposure
to cold, disordered digestion and fa-
tigue. The present attack seems to
have had its origin through the pope
walking to st. Peters last Saturday
for the beatification of Julie Billiart.
Returning to his apartment from ST..
Peters his holiness was quite warm
and in passing through the thicket
walled vatican courtyards where the
atmosphere is damp, he refused to
put on his cloak. When the first
symptoms of the trouble appeared he
refused to rest and take proper care
of himself and insisted on giving long
and fatiguing audiences to all the dig
nitaries of the Dominican order.

IMPORTANT RAIL CASE UP
Governments Claim to Jurisdiction
Over Local Trains

Springfield, Ill-A case of extraor-
binary significance to the railroads of
the country will be argued before
Judge Humphrey in the United States
court this week. In an action against
the Baltimore e. Ohio Southwestern
railway the government claims juris-
diction over trains engaged in purely
local traffic if on roads doing inter-
state commerce business. If the gov
ernment's contention for such juris-
diction is held, and the conclusion is
carried out, the government has the
power to regulate speed, pass upon the
qualification of trainmen, supervise
construction of roadbeds and even to
regulate rates.

Naples-The Vesuvius region was

rain which fell so heavily that a
mighty river is now tossing down the

The population is in state of panic.
The torrent, which is composed in

about twelve feet deep, and in some
places as much as eighteen feet deep.

been known for years that senators
and congressman were guilty OF ques-
tionable transactions involving the use
of the official position In the service
of clients who pay annual retainers.
There is prospect now Of state
hood being granted to Oklahoma dur
ing this session, and the matter OF
the separate statehood OF New Mexico
and Arizona referred back to the peo-
pie of the respective territories.
1t may be remarked In this con-
nection that the presidents enemies
in both houses of congress are feeling
good and are reminding their friends
that they predicted that sooner or
later the president would make a
blunder that would deprive him OF
his prestige and power and make him
less troublesome to them.

PRESTIGE & LOST POWER
Corporation congressman and sena-
tors Rejoice Over Presidents
Loss Of Prestige

washington, ~. u, May lo.-lno
rate bill has passed the senate, re-
ceiving the votes of all but three of
the senators who were present, those
voting against the bill being Foraker,
Morgan and Pettus. The house has
disagreed with the senate amend
ments and the bill will now go into
conference committee. Here it is un-
derstood Senator Aldrich is prepared
to put the finishing touches on it, it
being rumored that he has a knife
sharpened and his points of attack
selected, and that the whole affair
will be harmless SO far as effecting
the income OF the railroads in any
way when it leaves his rands. The
president is now helpless to protect
the measure since the democrats will
not enter into any compact with him
again, and without the aid of the
democrats to make bold and aggres-
sive demand that the good features
of the bill be retained, nothing can be
done because the republican senators,
even those most friendly to the bill,
with the single exception Of LaFol-
lette, only tried to get a measure that
would placate President Roosevelt
and satisfy their constituents that
they have given the president loyal
support. Therefore whatever comes
from the conference committee now
the president must be satisfied with
because he has lost control of the
situation.
The presidents loss of prestige is
the main topic of conversation among
the politicians and citizens of Wash
ington. His friends are silent and
downcast, and the public generally
considers that the president has made
a blunder that has damaged his pow
er and prestige irrevocaDiy. His pro-
yoking statement from ex-senator
Chandler was grave blunder. And
the reports sent out through New
York and Chicago paper questioning
the integrity of Senator Bailey in his
support of the rate bill, and seeking
to make this appear as an excuse
for the president in yielding to the
railroad senator's, has created very
bad impression that is characterized
by the politicians and the public here
in terms anything but respectful OF
complimentary to the author. Senator
Bailey charges that these reports
were inspired at the White House
and they are believed by many to
have come from Secretary Loeb, which
is getting altogether too close to the
president for the comfort of his
friends. Attention is also attracted
to the absence of a reply to the
charge made by Senator Bailey in
his own defense and in most vehement
language on the floor Of the senate.
The decision Of the supreme court
affirming the judgment of the courts
in Missouri in Senator Burton's case
has caused q great deal OF gossip
among the old residents and politi
clans here and it is believed by them
! that the result of the conviction and

SENATE PASSES RATE BILL
After Seventy-five Days Debate Rate
Bill Passes Senate, With Only
Three Dissenting Votes

Washington, May 18.-The bill has
received more attention from the SEN
ate and from the country at large
than any measure that has been be-
fore congress since the repeal OF the
purchasing clause Of the Sherman
act in 1893 1t was reported to the
senate on February 26, and was made
the unfinished business on March 12.
From March IL to May 4, the bill
was under general discussion without
limitation on the duration of speeches,
fifty-eight of which were delivered.
Many of these were prepared with
great care, and two of them con-
Sumed more than days time in de-
livery. Senator LaFollette, the junior
senator from Wisconsin, spoke for
three days, and Senator Daniel, Vir-
ginia, for two days. Senators Bailey,
Foraker Lodge, Rayner, Dolliver and
others each spoke for one entire day.
Fer twelve days the bill has been
under consideration under a rule lim-
iting speeches to fifteen minutes
each The debate has at all times
been earnest and animated, but for
the most part devoid Of personality
as between senators, the last few
days, however, having called out some
caustic criticisms of the president by
Senator Bailey.
In addition to passing the bill pro
eeedings today consisted in conclud
ing the consideration of the amend
ments as such and the delivery of a
number of speeches on the bill. The
only amendment adopted was the one
offered yesterday by Senator Teller
eliminating the words sin its judg
ment" from the power given to the
interstate commerce commission to
fix rates.
First Speech by Daniel
When the railroad rate bill was
taken up today the senate resumed
consideration of the Teller amend
ment, striking out of the provision
giving to the interstate commerce
commission the power to prescribe
rates the words 'sin it's judgment"
Senator Daniel made the first speech
on the Teller provision, taking the
position that the presence of the
words, in it's judgment" would moi
have the effect of yitating the bill az
had been contended. He declared, in
deed, that neither the presence MOI
the absence of the words could affec
the measure.
Senator Lodge said there had mo-
been any understanding that woul(
bind him to keep the debatable word:
In the bill and, an understanding Of
no understanding, he wanted thu
words stricken out.
eff the words remain and the Law
is declared unconstitutional, the peo
pie will declare it fraud and con
gress will be held responsible" HI
said.
In reply to Mr. Foraker, Mr.. Lodg,
said he knew nothing about an.
agreement Senator Foraker said al

In Memoriam
OF ARL

We are faithfully and most .soIemnlI
reminded as the DAYS go by that the
ranks of the Grand Army of the Repub.
lie are thinning.
n veterons OF the Sixties are fallino
mere and there by the wayside, and their
members are growing m~ournfully less and
less. The Roll-call that once summoned
Them to action and duty, will arouse
them no more. Such is the sad exper-
fence OF Acton Post by the great loss it
has sustained in the decease of our late
Comrade Charles English, who was one
OF our most active members, and true as
sunrise III his faithfulness to duty.
by action of the Post at its last meet
ing, 1t was unanimously decided that the
undersigned committee draft resolutions
expressing sincere regret in the depart
ure by death OF a member in person of
Charles English, who was so faithful, so
useful and so worthily filled the positions
ne occupied as an officer OF our ~organiza-
ton, therefore,
RESOLVED that Acton Post not ONLY
mourns the loss of a comrade SO worthy.
put also sincerely sympathizes with the
Dereayed family and friends of the de-
ceased, believing that their loss as we'll
as ouis, will be his eternal gain.
RESOLVED that a copy of these resolu-
lions be presented to the family, also one
sent to the Editor of the Penn's Grove
RECORD for publication.
