Bill Should Be Amended.

The bill as it came from the house
Mr.. 'Tillman characterized as loosely
worded and capable of different int.
pretations. Discussing the alleged in
adequacy OF the measure he said it is
"the duty OF the senate to make such
amendments as shall produce the best
possible law and relieve the distress
and wrong, the existence of which no
one will deny"
After discussing the prevailing con
ditions in the country at length and
the necessity for legislation Mr. Till
man concluded as follows:
"Vested with the rights of eminent
domain to construct their lines and
granted liberal franchises and char
tiers the railroads, designed to be pub
lie carriers for the benefit of the
whole people, in the last few years
have become rapidly transformed into
the veriest band of robbers-highway-

mand money or their lives, but who

Need Of Regulation Emphasized Common
Carriers Become Bands Of Robbers

Washington, March Ex-senator
Gilman during the day presented tC
me senate his report from the comm11tt b:
tee on interstate commerce on the
house railway rate bill, which ex-
pressed his views but did not pretend
to speak for any other member of the
committee. 1t embodied the first clear
and concise statement of the differ
ences concerning court review fea-
lures and other proposed amendments
that had made unanimous report i'm
possible.
The senator declared it to be his
belief that the bill should be amend
ed, but that amendments should not
be of character to impair or prevent
the accomplishment of the objects of
the legislation, which are set forth
best, he says, in the presidents mes.
sage to congress. He emphasized the
need of regarding the measure as non
partisan, but predicted that the issues
created will be paramount in the next
presidential election.
Mr.. Tillnan prefaced his report by
speaking Of the peculiar conditions
ruling the committees actions on the
house bill, which made it an embar-
RAISING task to submit views that
would be concurred in by the commit
tee as whole.

BLOT ON THE COUNTRY.

Killing of Moro Women and Children
Denounced in House.
Washington, March 16.-Mr. Jones
(Va.) said in the house during the day
that Notwithstanding the close rela-
tons between the president and Gen
eral Wood he could not understand
how the president could endorse the
killing of Moro women and children.
The affair was a blot on this country.
elm my judgment" he continued,
"this action on the part of the com.
manding general of our forces in the
Moro provinces cannot be condoned
or excused"
It would only have required wait
of few weeks to have starved out the
Moros when they would have surren-
dered, he added.
The dispatch from the secretary of
war to General Wood showed that he
thought an explanation necessary.
The affair was, he said, a blot on this
country. The dispatch from General
Wood he characterized as a most re,
markable document. Vs. ,sy.@ =

road Rate Regulation.
Washington, March 16.-Mr. Nelson
(Minn.) addressed the senate during
the afternoon in support of the rail-
road rate regulation bill as it passed
the house. He entered at length into
the power of congress to regulate
transportation rates, which, he con-
tended, had been frequently estab-
lished by decisions Of the supreme
court upholding state laws intended
to accomplish that purpose. He con-
tended that if the state legislatures
could fix rates congress Gould do so.
"The controlling fact is the right to
regulate at ALL" he said, and contend
ed that VIA this point established the
right to name maximum rate nat
urally followed. He also contended
that congress had power to vest the
interstate commerce commission with
its powers, urging that the exercise of
such a prerogatiye by a commission
was not legislative but administrative
in nature HS&

HAMILTON
Says Mccall Was no More to
Blame Than Other In
SuranCe Officers

New York, March 1e.-The World
Gays:
Before his departure for his home
in Albany Andrew Hamilton, former
legislative agent of the New York Life
Insurance company, settled upon his
line of defense in the legal actions Or
dered against him for restitution and
accounting of sums aggregating near
ly 100000.
Hamilton's defense challenges the
accuracy of the Fowler Investigating
committee, which held the late John
A. Mccall and Hamilton alone respon.
sible for the $1,347,0OO paid to the for.
mer legislative agent out OF the funds
of the policyholders. Summarized
Hamilton's defense is as follows:
First-That every payment made to
him except the s59,310 taken from the
profits Of the United States Steel syn
dictate and the $144,5OO drawn from
the Paris Office was known by, report
ed to. and passed upon by the audit
Ing committee Of the New York Life
! Second-That every political contri-
button made was first discussed by the
finance committee of the company and
then directed to be paid. No entry of
the political contributions was made
In the minute books of the finance
committee, the transactions being
secret as far as the regular records of
the company are concerned.
Il Hamilton's contention is that If John
A. Mccall was morally, legally and
financially responsible for the COM
pany's moneys paid to Hamilton every
member OF the auditing committee.
who passed upon the payments, Is
equally responsible and should be so
held by the Fowler Investigating COM
n1ittee. which directed that suits for.
recovery should be brought against
Hamilt ton and Met Call only. 4;

There are two versions to as much
of the affair as the participants are
willing to impart to the public. Mys-
terry surrounds the matter and there
