Did Not Say He Should Insist on Ger.
tain Amendments in Bill.
Senate Continues Railroad Rate Debate But Day
Is Without Exciting Incidents.
STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT.

Washington, May 1.-THE scnSation-
al rate bill incident in the Senate Sat
uriay during which Mr.. Tillman. on thu
authority Of Former Senator Chandler
made statements regarding the Pres-
cents course in connection with pend
ing railroad rate legislation, some of
which statements were denel by Mi
Lodge, on behalf Of the President, had
its sequel this evening when an ofti-
cial statement was issued by the White
House giving an account of the subject
on the part of the President and Attor-
ney General Moody. The statement
comprised two letters, one from the
President to Senator Allison and the
other from Attorney General Moody to
the President. both dated today.
The President states lin no case
either in the case of Mr.. Chandler or
anyone else was there the slightest op-
Eortunity for any honest miSconcep-
ton of my attitude or any belief that
| pledged myself specifically to one and
only one amendment or set IF amend
ments or that | would not he Statistic |
with any amendment which preserved
the essential features Of the Hepburn
bill as it came from the House"
The President says that as 10 many
of the amendments, including the So
called Long. OVerman, Bacon and
Spooncr amendments, he had said he
should be entirely satisfied to have
them i'll the bill and suggested modifi-
cations as to other amendments but
that "aS to none of the amendments
did l ever say either to Mr.. Chandler or
to anyone else that should insist upon
having them in the bin as a condition
of my approval" and that on the con-
trary he che PresidcnD was careful to
state that he was not trying to dictate
any particular program Of action.
The attorney generals letter gives an
account at the Presidents request of
the conferences which Mr.. Moody had
by the Presidents direction with Scna-
tors Tillman and Bailey regarding the
court review feature. He reviews the
discussion of interlocutory injunctions
ana concludes that there was nothing
in the conventions" between the SEN
atOrs and himself which bound the
President to any particular amend
ment.
Former Senator Chandler tonight re-
| fused to discuss the statement from the
White House. He indicated that he
did not eXrcc. {" issue a statement at
this time bearing on the subject. Re
| garding his visits to the White House
Mr.. Chandler said that previous to his
| invitation II call to see the President
| on March 81 following which hc con-
fcrrc1 with the President regarding the
pending rate bill. he had not been at
the White House for about a month
and that previous to that invitation he
had no immediate intention of going
there. He said that he did not 60 to the
White House as an emiSSary Of Mr..
TiIlman. but that he went there in re-
Spouse to the Presidents invitation.

The Presidents letter:
1.-THE White House.
"Washngton. May IA. o.
MY Dear Senator Allison:-As Senator
1'llman brought IN your name in connec-
ton with mine in the statement he made
concerning our relations to the rate bill
last Saturday. it is perhaps due to YOU
that / should write you on the matter
After the rate bill was reported from the
committees, and after by vote of the
committee Mr.. Tillman had been put in
charge Of it. many senators and many
outsiders came to see me with reference
to it. Among others I was asked to see
ex-senator Chandler as representing Mr..
Tillman. who was in charge of the bill.
| stated in response that I was OF course
entirely willing to see Mr. Tillman per-
sonaliy or to see Mr.. Chandler or anyone
else who could speak for him. and 7 ac-
cordngly directed my secretary to make
an appointment for Mr. Chandler to see
me. My understanding was that he was
the representative of Mr.. Tillman. In the
HISt iIlttINltN ne stated TO me me views
Of Mr.. TIlman, with seeming authority.
He called on me several times
During the same period I saw other
gentlemen who professed to give the
views of other senators. In addition /

IN CONGRESS-.

Washington, May 1.-THE proceed
mss Of the Senate today We're in every
way in sharp contrast with those Of
Saturday. The day passed without an
exciting incident and without the adop-
ton Of n single amendment to the rail-
road rate bill, Notwithstanding that
measure was under consideration prac-
tically all the time from the hour Of
converting at II o'clock. until adjourn
ment at 5.1I +. NJ The most character
lStic feature of the day was the re-
lection of amendments. This was ac-
complishrd either by direct vote or by
the process Of lying on the table and
one followed another i'll rapid success
sion.
Among the provisions thus adversely
disposed of We're several intended to
fix the liability Of railroad companies
for injury to employees. Then presenta-
ton Of provisions intended to accom-
plish this purpose had the effect of
bringing out practical authoritative
statement that the committee on inter-
state commerce will report the indie
pendent House bin on that subject
which is now pending.
When the Senate adjourned the
eighth section Of the bAl regulating the
personnel of the Interstate commerce
commission was under consideration
and adjournment was secured at a
somewhat earlier hour than usual in
tho hope that there could be prepared
. more acceptable provision covering
that subject shan has heretofore been
presented. Senator Lodge offered Il sub
Stitutp f,tr the ptnding section DroVi1-
inS for Il new commission of nine
members. one from each of the judicial
circuits, but indicated a willingness to
accept modification. suggested by
Senator Bailey. requiring the creation
of nine transportation districts with
one member from each of them.
The Senate will meet at its regular
hour at II o'clock tomorrow instead of
IL O'Clock as has been the case FOR some
days past.

HOW MUCH?

When you begin to pour over the
catalogue to send off to New York or
Chicago by mail for goods, or you
board the electric car for Atlanta to
buy your goods from Atlanta mer-
chants, ask yourself. the question, how
much tax will they pay to support your
schools and educate your children, for
improving roads and bridges, for the
support of the poor of your county, for
the city, county and State? On what
page is the order to pay money to the
church? What time of credit will they
extend to you when you are poor and
money gone, when through illness or
misfortune you are unable to send
cash with order" for your groceries,
clothing, crockery and tools Where is
their offer to contribute to your enter
tainment next year? What did they do
last year? In short, will they do any
thing to provide market for what you
have to sell and thereby keep up the
value of your property? Will they do
anything for social, church, school OF
government support, or do they take
your dollar out of the community with
no return except the goods you buy

A HORRIBLE TRAGEDY.

One of the most sensational trapedies
that ever stirred the city of Atlanta
occurred in that city, on last Friday
morning, when Mrs. Willie Standifer
% years old, went to the home OF D. p.
Durham, and in mad fit of jealousy
said to have been inspired by a letter
which her husband, Ed Marion Standi
fer, is said to have written to her sister
Miss Chapel Wisenant, shot her sister
to death. Miss Wisenant, who was
killed by her sister, being shot five
times in rapid succession, was 10 years
old.
Mrs Standifer, after firing the fatal
shot, walked away from the house and
later called up over the telephone and
and asked if her sister was dead. She
then went Immediately to police head.
quarters and.gave herself up. She was
accompanied by her husband. who was
the unwilling cause of the tragedy.
Mrs Standifer who shot her sister in
Atlanta, has been released on a 5000.

SHOT HIS DAUGHTER,

Mr.. Bill Sanford, who lives in Due
West settlement about six miles west
of Marietta, had the terrible experience
of accidentally killing his ten year old
daughter, Ola, on Friday night.
For some time efforts have been dis.
covered of some one setting his barn
and dwelling on fire. Fortunately
these fires were always discovered time
enough to be extinguished in their in
cipiency. On Friday night he heard q
noise and took his gun and went out
doors, followed by his daughter. After
looking around and not seeing anyone he
started back into the house. As he
turned TO go back he attempted to lei
the hammer down, when the gun dis
charged and his little daughter, who
was just in front of him had her head
half blown off, the load striking her in
the back of the head. This terrible
tragedy and heart-rending accident is
to be deeply deplored.
