RAILROAD RATE BILL
WILL PASS THE HOUSE

Washington. May 19-(Speeial.)--rhe
House will put through the rate bill with
out much loss of time. The House con-
ferees may chew the rag for a few
days, just to be in fashion, but there is
no inclination on the part of the lead
ers of that side In Congress to balk at the
changes made in the Hepburn bill since
1t left them.
Colonel Pete Hepburn himself said
today that. although his pet measure
had been somewhat dlsfigured while in
the Senate ring 1t was still recognizable.
and there was at least the satisfaction Of
knowing that a rate bill had gone
through. Representative Hepburn was one
of the House leaders in conference with
the President today. The others were
Speaker Cannon, Representative Gros-
venor and Representative Mann.

BANK PRESIDENT
COMMITS SUICIDE
IRWIN TUCKER SHOOTS HIM.
SELF AS OFFICERS ENTERS THE
DOOR TO ARREST HIM ON EN-
BEZZLEMENT CHARGE.

Norfolk, May l9.-Irwin Tucker. presi-
News. Va, committed suicide in his
room. over the bank in Newport News
today just as Chief of Police Reynolds
of that city opened his door to arrest
him upon a warrant charging him with
defaulting In tho sum of $4,000. Tucker
heard Chief Reynolds ask a negro po,r-
ter on the outside as to the location
of his room and standing in front of a
mirror put bullet through his righ.
temple as the door was thrown open.
The doors of the savings bank have
been closed pending an Investigation.
which Is now being made by the board of
directors
The first suspicion that Tucker was a
defaulter was received this morning in a
note written by the suicide himself. This
note was found shortly after tine doors
of the bank were opened today, 1t hav-
ing been placed on the desk Of the
cashier. Perkins Tucker admitted that
he was short In his accounts and said IL
any attempt was made to arrest nini he
would commit suicide. Immediately the
directors of the bank were called together
and hurried examination resulted Ia the
issue of the warrant. An examination Of
the safety deposit box in the savings
bank revealed the fact that fuckers life
was insured for $4,000 which will cover
all of his alleged defalcaton.
The Savings Bank of Newport News
was largely patronized by the laborln ng
classes of Newport News.
President Tucker was about 40 years Tf
age. He was the son of former Gov
John s. Tucker of Norfolk now a retired
lawyer of Washington, D. C.
Mr.. Tucker was formerly city editor OF
the old Norfolk Virginian and was post
master OF Newport News under the
Cleveland administration.

Speaker Cannon exhibited spirit of
approval of the Senate bill as 1t had
gone back to the House, although he
said that he had not read the details and
had simply accepted the newspaper ac-
counts. The fact that he is satisfied shows
that no fight may he expected by the
House conferes when they report to that
body.
The conferences with the President to-
day were evidently for the purpose of as-
certaining what he thought of the bill as
1t now stands and whether he desires
elimination of any of the Senate features.
The President expressed himself as
pleased with the measure as 1t passed
the Senate. and this ought to put an
end to a prolonged struggle between the
House and the Senate conferees. In fact
practically no struggle is expected, and
the opinion prevails that in ten days or
less the President will have the rate bill
before him for signature.

BRYAN ON THE MESSAGE.

Commenting upon President Roose-
velt's message William J. Bryan says
there is much that is good and much
| that is bad in 1t, but that it may be
regarded as the presidents most i'm
portant state paper.
Mr.. Bryan says:
THE message contains much that
is Democratic and for which the gem
eral public will thank him. 1t con-
tains some things that ought to
arouse criticism. The president bold
| ly appropriates some of the doctrin-
es which the Democrats have been ad-
vocating. and on the other hand he
announces some doctrines that are so
absurd as to excite amusement II
the suggestion came from less
prominent source. In some cases he
takes advanced ground in some cases
he sreats from ground already taken. "
Mr.. Bryan complains that what the
president says on the subject of gov
ernment by injunction will not be
satisfactory to the laborlng men or
to those who respect the right of trial
by jury.
The presidents stand on child la
Dor is commended as is also the
position he takes ON the eight hour
law and the right of people to criti-
else a Judge.
Referring to Mr.. Roosevelts ref
erence to the Japanese question Mr.
Bryan says:
He pays q deserved tribute to the
progress of the japanese nation and
asks for legislation which will enable
congress to present treaty rights to
! foreigners. That there should be such
legislation connot be generally dis
puted, but great deal depends up
| on the character of the legislation. If
any bills are presented in regard to
this suggestion they must be careful
ly scrutiniZed to be sure that they do
not deny to the various states the
| right to protect themselves and their
people in matters purely local"
| Finally Mr.. Bryan deplores what he
calls the presidents warlike atti-
tude. There will be disappointment
at the warlile tone of his message
where he discusses the army and
navy. He speaks of the navy as the
surest guarantor of peace which this
country possesses. Shame upon the
chief executive that he should place
| an instrument of brute force above
the nations sense of Justice as a
guarantee of peace. The best guar
antee of peace is our nations pur-
pose to deal justly with other nations.
War ought to be a resort and not first
consideration. 1t is bad enough to
nave few professional soldiers. 1t
is not necessary that the whole ma
| tion shall be keyed up all the time to
the fighting point"

When TO Go Home.

when tired out, go home. When
you want consolation. go home. When
YOU want fun. go home, When you
want to show others that you have
reformed, go home and let your fam
lily get acquainted with the fact.

your best go home and do the act
there. When you feel like being eX-
ira liberal go home and practice on
your wife and children first. When
you want to shine with extra brill
fancy go home and light up the whole

DAVID t. CLARK WILL
SURPRISE HIS HERDERS

In yesterday mornings Denver News
there appeared q large picture show
ing David T. Clark. the wealthy sheep
man. so well known in Grand juno
tion and the father of Walter Clark
of this city. in his immense fifty
horsepower auto ready to start to
his ranges.
In connection with the picture the
following statement Is made:
'he lonely sheep herder. keeping
his dismal vigil on the wind swept
and barren hills, with only the whine
OF the breezes and the gentle bleat-
ing of the sheep to relieve the sill
ence that broods about him. and only
his faithful dog. Shep-always Shep
for company, has nothing in com
mon with d. T Clark, sheepman, of
Denver.
Mr. Clark is beating old NAV prog
ress to the sheep range with innp-
yations by several Baca county miles.
He is going to disturb the brooding
| Stiffness with the up-to-now chug Of
the automobile. and he will awaken
the echos with the honk of his horn.
He is going out among his sheep in
the most modern machine the auto
makers are producing. and he there
| by establishes an epoch in Western
history.
Mr.. Clark is one of the wealthiest
sheep growers in the state, His
| focks range in western Colorado over
vast extent of territory where there
are no railroads, He inspects them
| several times a year, especially at this
Season, when there is danger of
storms.
Travelling over such wide area of
country in wagon or on horseback is
slow method. and Mr.. Clark has
never been greatly enamored of such
means of transportation. He sud
denly thought of the automobile. and
when he was ready to take this trip
he fitted his machine up for hard
| travelling and stocked ii with the nee
cessary camping outfit so that he can
spend the nights outdoors.
He is using a fifty horse power
Winton, and he expects TO make his
inspection on this occasion in about
half the time it has taken him hereto
fore, He also expects to furnish his
sheepherders with a shock from
which they will not soon recover.
