AGREEMENT REACHED ON
 RAILROAD RATE BILL
CONFEREES ARRIVE AT AN UNDERSTANDING REGARDING
 THE MEASURE.

Meet This Morning to Draw Up Final
 Agreement--Three Points Still to be < Settled but No Trouble is Looked For
 Over Any of Them-SIeeping Gags
 Likely to be Made "COmmOn Carriers''
 in the BslI.
 Washington, June 21.-An under standing was reached by the conferees on the railroad rate bill tonight which, 1t is predicted, will result in complete agreement being reported tomorrow The conferees will meet at 10 o'clock in the morning to draw up the agreement. It is the present purpose to have it pre- scented to the house tomorrow that 1t may be printed in the Record, as re- quired by the rules, but it may be called up for action Saturday.
 There are yet three points which will receive discussion in the morning, but even on these the conferees know the position of their number so well that the result may be predicted with rea- sonable certainty.
 Of the three points the first is the sleeping-car amendment. The predic- tion is that sleeping cars will be in cluded as common carriers" in the bill. The second is the muchdebated pipe line amendment. This Is to be settled by changing the words common car- riers" to railroads in that portion of the bill relating to the ownership of commodities. The effect of this change will be to exclude pipe lines from the operation of the law forbidding rail roads" from owning industrial proper ties. The senate amendment, which included lumber in the list of commodi- ties forbidden to be owned by common carriers, will, it is said, be retained in the bill.
 The third point for further discussion is the question of the five days notice required to be given before the issuance of an injunction or interlocutory order making effective the degrees of the commission.
 The pass provision as tentatively agreed on will prohibit the issuance or acceptance of passes to officers of the national government, officers of state governments, or InuulClpdlILieSt COui1lAoS and townships. This is the entire pro- hibition, the railroads being left to use their discretion as to the issuance of passes to persons not included in the above enumeration. Members of con gress are included as officers of the na- tionaI government.
 Express companies are to be regulat- ed as common carriers. The much-dis- cussed words 'in its judgment" and .'fairly remunerative" are left out of the bill.
 It is said that little, if any, discussion is expected on the conference report in the house, as all of the senate amend ments to which attention was directed in the house as being desirable addi- tions to the measure have been accept ed by the conferees.
 As the tentative report stands to- night, the senate has not receded from any of the amendments which it placed in the bill.

 DEAD BY HTS WYBE.

Had Left His Work in Best of Spirits
 Wife Heard Shot While Upstairs

 Pistol on steps--Cor0ner Summoned
 Makes Invetigation.
 A suicide which appeared at first to be mysterious happened last evening at 6:SO o'clock. Williar schlegel of 1T White street, was found dead by his wife. His family had been upstairs in the house and suddenly they heard a shot and on seeking the cause found Schlegel lying in the kitchen dead with a bullet hole in his head.
 Medical Examiner Bartlett arrived shortly afterward and on looking for the revolver found it on the steps out side the door, good distance from the dead man, The finding of the re- volver in this place caused the medical examiner to ask the police to summon Coroner Mix.
 Coroner Mix stated last evening that as far as he could ascertain the death was case of suicide.
 Schiegel was an etnploye of the Yale Brewing company and had left there at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, seemingly in the best of spirits.
 He leaves g. wife and several children only one of whom was living with him.

OVER FOuR-MILE COURSE
YALE VARSITY COVERS DIS TANCE WITH SLOW STROKE


 Baseball Victory Celebrated by
 Customary BOnflre--Harvard Varsity
 Takes Three-NIiIe Row and Also Uses
 Slow Stroke--sicknes in Freshman
 Crew.
 YaleQuarters, Gales Ferry, June 21.- The varsity eight went over the four mile course at low stroke this after noon covering the distance in 27 min utes. There was strong head wind and a strong tide against them. The freshmen rowed with them for the first two miles but at the two mile flag the varsity had left the youngsters 8 length behind. The four-oared crews rowed down to the navy yard and back again. There was no attempt at mak- ing time. The work this morning con- sisted of two-mile upstream row for the varsity during which Coach Ken nedy gave his attention individually to the men. The conditions were against fast work, the water being so rough that the men had to row slowly in or der that the boat should not fill. The freshman eight went over the same course, while the four-oared crews had a little brush upstream without ma terial advantage to either boat.
 A threeinning baseball game be- tween the varsity and the freshmen, which the former won, 7 to g. enliven- de the day. No bulletins were posted of the game between Yale and Harvard at Cambridge but when the final result was made known the men showed their Joy at the victory by preparing big bon fire which was set going soon after dark. Referee Guy Richards is expected to reach here Saturday.
 Harvard Quarters, Red Top, June 21. All of the varsity squad and part of the freshman squad spent the greater part of the afternoon watching the re- turns from the Yale-Harvard game at Cambridge. Although the result was not what the men desired to see they did not show much disappointment over it.
 Several members of the freshman squad went out sailing this afternoon in She Dragon, but suffered a mishap, for when they had arrived at a point just above the Yale quarters the boat ran aground on a mud bank and had to be pulled off again by a steam launch. The identity of the latter is not known.
 After the final result of the baseball game was known the freshmen went to their quarters and prepared to go out on the river, which they did about 5 o'clock. They rowed down the river for mile and half in one stretch and came back to the boat house in two stretches The varsity squad watched the freshmen from the launch John Harvard. Earlier in the day the var sity four rowed down the river as far as the navy yard in two stretches and came back, going over one mile of the course with the wind and tide in their favor. No time was taken. The men rowed fairly slow stroke and then padded back to quarters. The 'varsi- ty eight went out for a three mile row down the Thames going down fin one stretch at slow stroke. The boat came back in three stretches the men pulling slowly. The freshman four went up the river for two miles and back in easy stretches. Butler was at stroke and W. c. Anderson 1908 of the Harvard Crimson, was in at No. ?, and three members of the freshman squad are still laid LID with boils,

TRUTH ABOUT THE TRAPPER
Not a Picturesque Figure, But a Cruel
and Ruthless Destroyer
of Game.

W. II. Wright. the noted grizzly
bear hunter tells about The Trap

Work. He declares that the trapper
OF to-day lacks every Characteristic
which romance has interviewer with
his name. He says: People who
have not seen can form no idea Of the
suffering trappers cause, nor Of their
ruthless destruction OF game. Moth
ing escapes them: even the squirrels
are sacrificed to bait traps for mar
ten and fisher, and not only the SPUR
rels, but all kinds of birds, whether
game or song birds. In trapping

UNDERsEA COLD STORAGE.
Experiment Of the English Admir-
atty Being Carried On at
Portsmouth.

Important experiments are being
carried out by the naval authorities
at Portsmouth dockyard to ascertain
to what extent the steaming properties
OF the Welsh coal used In the British
navy are improved by storage In tn,
sea.
Eighteen months ago iron crates.
each containing two tons OF coal. were
sunk In the big basin. ana at the
same time a similar quantity Of ccal
was carefully stored In the open air
at the coaling point and sheltered
from the weather beneath tarpaulins.
Al intervals Of six months twoton
samples from each storage have been
taken out ana carefully burned. ana
the results Of the experiments have
shown conclusIyely that by submarine
storage Of coal its calorlhc value
steadily Increases, while by storage r.
the open air a decided decrease Is
shown,
At the naya, coa!lng stations In the

themselves OF the physical and fnan.
cial advantages Of the storage Of coal
In the sea, have now directed that

The difficulty is that the submerged
coal has TO be dried before use. to
remove the superficial moisture, which
otherwise In the close confines Of a
warships bunker would soon set up
spontaneous combustion. The only
method of drying so far attempted is
by spreading the coal on iron trays in
the open air, a process satisfactory
enough for experimental purposes. but
not feasible for quantities that amount
