of the people OF my own state. which |
am proud to represent in part on this
floor, and after that for the interests of
all the people of the United States
Mr.. Elkins launched at once into n dis
cussion of the Hepburn rate bill. Said
he: mo amendments were allowed in
the house and none was allowed in
the senate committee on interstate
commerce. although there were some
fifty submitted TO the committee bv its
members. Ii is the opinion of many
senators who have given the subject
careful consideration that the bill
should be amended and in way that
will remove doubts as to its constitu-
tionality and make its provisions clear.

fording remedies for existing abuses
l favor heartily the objects and pur-
poses Of the bill, and / will vote for
1t, but | want to make il better and
stronger bill. My chief objection to
the bill is that il does not go far
enough. 1t makes no attempt TO pro
vide remedies for many existing abuses
by railroads, especially in the state OF
West Virginia" Senator Elkins said
that unless the bill was properly
amended he feared il would prove a
disappointment TO the people.
81 believe in rate regulation of inter.
state commerce by congress in the in.

Il believe congress has the power to
fix rates of interstate carriers and can
authorize under proper restriction n

The senator pointed out concluslvely
that none Of these abuses is remedied

house and was reported from the sen
ate committee.
said Mr.. Elklns: "rhe people are en-
titled to protection against these
abuses. which exist generally and work
SO much injustice To shippers and inde-
pendent operators. especially In the
state of West Virginia. Ii may be said
that tie states should legislate to cor
rect these evils. In the state of West
Virginia and nearly all the states there
has been legislation on these subjects.

the amendments which he had intro
duced intended TO correct these abuses
and added: Nothing short of their
adoption and becoming law will satisfy
the shippers. independent operators.
and the people generally of my state.
Building Small Lines.
The senator showed that IL was alto
gether improbable that another great
trunk line of railroad would be built to
the large cities on the Atlantic coast
and To the great lakes, and for that
reason the people must depend largely

cla1iy the case" said ne, IN the great
state Of West Virginia. one OF the rich
est in the Union. Unless the interstate
railroads. reaching all the large cities
and markets. make fair connecting ar
rangements with branch and lateral
lines the business and development Of
the country must be retarded. These
great railroads already have immedi-
ately on their lines all the business
they can do at the present. and they
hold that no one else should build nee
essary branch and lateral lines I'm what
they term their territory. There are
many men who can build ten twenty.
fifty or a hundred miles Of railroad TO
connect with the Interstate lines who
could not possibly build trunk line.
In the state Of West Virginia and
other states there are many men who
have made large investments i'm apri-
culture. coal. timber, iron ore and other
lands who are able and desirOus OF
building short lines from ten 10 a hun
dred miles long to reach these lands
and find a market for their products.
but they will not build them under
present conditions because Of the diff
culties in the way Of getting switches
and connections with the interstate
lines and when they do get them secur-
ing fair treatment.
Mr.. Elkins asserted that the future
development Of large and productive
sections Of the country would depend
upon whether congress gave the relief
he had suggested.

ELK|AS ON RATE BILL
West Virginian Makes a Notable
Contribution to Greet Debate.
NOT A RAILROAD SENATOR
Stands First For the People of His Own
State and After That For the Inter
ests of All the People - Points Out
Defects In Hepburn Measure.

Senator Stephen Il. Elkins of West
Virginia. chairman of the senate com
mittee on interstate commerce. made n
memorable speech on the 9th instant
on the Hepburn railroad rate bill. Mr.
Elkins' practical experience in the con
struction and operation of railroads
and his familiarity with railroad rate
questions as. they have come before
congress periodically in recent years
served to give to his speech unusual in
terest. He was given the closest atten-
ton by all his colleagues. and at the
conclusion o. his speech was warmly
congratulate upon his contribution to
the great debate on the railroad rate
question. TIE editorial comments in
the newspapers throughout the coun-
try have been highly commendatory Of
the speech and suggestions proposed
by Mr.. Elkins for solving the railroad
rate problem. No other speech de
livered on the subject has ELECTED such
wide and favorable comment from the
press. At the very outset Mr.. Elkins
took occasion to say in answer to GER
tain criticisms: Because of my sup
posed interest in railroads it is charged
and believed that | favor the rail
road side of this question. This has
been so often repeated that l am
sure ii viii be pardonable if / say, in
Justice to myself that my interest on
the side of the shipper is ten times
greater than on the side of the rail-
roads and that my interest in railroads

prerer unaU the oruer or the commission
changing rate should remain i'm force
until the final determination OF the suit
to set il aside
Mr.. Elkins met the conditions which
have been alleged To exist In connec-
ton with the Red Rock Fuel company
in West Virginia and one or two other
corporations that claimed to be dis
criminated against by the refusal of the
big railroads TO grant them the necessa-
ry switches and connections to market
their product. Railway corporations
are mere creatures of the law and ex-
ist by the will and consent of the peo-
pie and in the interest of the people. I
believe interstate carriers should be
prohibited from transacting any other
business than carrying freight and pas
sengers and from doing any business in
competition with shippers and mde-
pendent operators. that they should
make a fair distribution of ears with
out discrimination and put in upon rea-
sonable terms all necessary switches
and sidings to accommodate the seeds
of shippers and promptly make connec-
tons and fair and just prorating ar
rangements with branch and lateral
lines. The time has come when the
people demand that railroads shall be
law abiding"
In Accord With President.
The senator explained that he was In
hearty accord with the presidents de.
sire to correct all abuses by the rail
roads and quoted with commendation
from the presidents message of De
cember, 1904, and his last annual mes
sage
He explained the features of the bill
which he had prepared after n most
searching investigation into the sub
ject and with the experience of many
years in the practical operation OF rail
roads as well as his experience as n
nemper OF anu rurcr as chairman or
the interstate commerce committee.
He declared that no constitutional oh
lection could be raised against his bill.
He laid special emphasis on the omis-
sions in the Hepburn rate bill. particu-
larry its failure TO require interstate
carriers to make fair and just distri-

the entertainment of the old soldiers,
and their wives, are many and elabor-
ate.
Acc riding to the estimates OF
7. ilroad men, fully 10000 peop.e
have SO far arrived and dozens OF
trains running in two and three sec
tons are still on the way.
The contest for national comman-
der 10 growing warmer. although no
great amount of electioneering has
so Ear been done. The friends OF
Capt. P. H. Coney, of Kansas, are
making what is outwardly the most
aggressive campaign and claim to
be fairly confident of the election OF
their man. Other candidates whose
names are being strongly pushed are
r. B. Brown, of GAINESVILLE, o., and
Charles G. Burton, of Missouri There
is no contest worth mentioning for
any of the minor offices.
1t is expected that considerable de-
bate will result over the recent law
passed by congress driving the can
tean nnt nf the old soldiers homes.

BANK TELLER DEAD
Frank Kawalski, Connected with
Wrecked Chicago Concern, Shot
and Killed Himself.
THE DEFALCAT|ONS GROW.
1t IS Now Believed That When All
of President Stensland's Short
ages Are Known They Will
Aggregate S2,OOO,OOO.

Chicago, Aug. 12.-Frank Kowaiski,
paying teller of the Milwaukee Avenue
State bank, which failed last Monday,
and for some time assistant receiy.
ing teller in addition to his other
duties, shot and killed himself Friday
night at his home, $40 north Carpen-
ter street. Criticism by neighbors
and lifelong friends who accused him
of share in the downfall of the
bank is believed to have driven Kow.
alski to his death.
Kowalski had complained bitterly
Of the suspicious of his friends and
declared that unless his character
was speedily cleared he would take
his own life.
Kowalskl's relatives assert their
firN belief that he was innocent of
any knowledge of the Encouragement
of the bank by President Stensland
When the bank failed Kowalski had
$500 of his own money on deposit in
the institution and his immediate rel
atives nearly $4,000. Had the teller
known of Stensland's defalcations,
they assert, he would at least have
notified his relatives and would have
taken his own money out of the in
stitution.
The dead teller, who was 30 years
old had been with the bank for thir-
teen years
While the search for Paul Stems
land, the missing president, is being
extended to all parts of the country,
Cashier Herring, who was arrested
Thursday, spent Friday with the
states representatives and Bank Ex-
aminer Jones in examining the banks
collateral in an effort to determine
how much the president is short in
his accounts. After an all-day search
forged notes aggregating more than
$500 900 were found and are now IN
the possession Of the states attorney,
who will use them In the prosecution
of the officials responsible for their
utterance. From statements made BE-
Herring regarding loans made by
Stensland as banker, to himself, and
the shortages found by previous In
yestigations, 1t was asserted Friday
night that when final adjustment Of
the affairs of the bank is made, II
will be found that President Stems
lands defalcations will aggregate
nearly $2,000,000.

ch,moIs skin Of Commerce.

Charles G. Druedling, OF Phiiaoel'
mia. has written an article for tho
American Journal Of Pharmacy on the
subject Of channels skins. What ID
known in the market as channels SKINS
he SAYS, is really an obtained sneep
or lamb skin lining. The supply OF
skins from the chamois animal Is very
Iimited-enough could not be obtained
in a year to supply the United states
for more than single day. He made
,ecial inquiry on a recent visit 10
Switzerland about the annual crop OF
the chamois skin and ascertained that
from 5000 to 5000 skins would be a
fair average yearly crop. This skin Is
heavier than the skin OF the sheep OF
lamb, also much coarser. For strength
and durability tho chamois skin is pre-
ferable, but for ordinary use and ap-
nearance the obtained sheep Skin
lining would. in most instances, Do
preferred.
