MAJORITY FAvORS MEASURE
LA TOILETTE BILL FOR VAlUA-
TiON OF RAILROADS BEFORE
SENATE COMMITTEE.

Washington, Feb. 16.-An echo Of
the railroad rate fight that continued
throughout the two previous sessions
of congress was heard during the day
in the senate committee on interstate
commerce. which had under considera-
tion Senator La Follette's bill provid-
Ing that the Interstate commerce com
mission shall ascertain the face value
of the property Of every railroad en-
gagged In Interstate commerce. When
the rate bill was under consideration
a year ago Senator La Toilette Of
fered an amendment Identical In
terms with the pending bill providing
for the valuation of railroads, but 1t
was laid Oh the table.
Opposition to his measure devel-
oped during the day, coming from the
same senator's who opposed radical
features of the railroad rate bill when
1t was in committee last session. 1t
was apparent, however, that there are
enough votes in the committee to re-
port the bill whenever 1t can be
brought to vote The senators who
opposed the report said that their OBJ
jections were not because they were
against the proposition to ascertain
the value Of railroads. but because OF
their belief that there should be GER
tain amendments to the bill. 1t was
said that the task proposed to be
placed on the interstate commerce
commission might hamper that body
In performing other necessary work.
At the suggestion of these senators 1t
was agreed that the bill should be re-
ferred to the commission for report
as to whether that body desired any
amendments.
The reply Of the commission Is ex.
pected on Tuesday next and the bill
then will be reported unless amend
ments are offered and supported in
such manner as to prevent action

FIGHTING INCOME TAX BILL.
French Financial Interests Oppose
Pending Measure.

Pending Measure.
Paris, Feb. 16.-It is increasingly
evident that the financial interests in
tend to make last ditch fight against
the proposed income tax measure and
there are suspicious that they are try.
ing to bring about the downfall of the
cabinet In order to accomplish their
purpose. The unexpected adverse
vote Of the senate. following the de-
bate upon the supplementary separa-
tion bill, the rapid enactment Of which
was sought by the government but
which the senators. by q vote OF 168
to 1913. reported back to the commit
tee for further consideration. was In
spired more by opposition to the in
come tax than disapproval OF the gov
ernment's bill. which provides for the
suppression OF declarations OF inten-
ton to hold public meetings.
The income tax bill, especially its
inquisitorial features, continues to be
the subject of violent criticism. the
press, with the exception Of the rad
ical Socialistic papers and the Eclair,
boldly printing series Of articles in
structing taxpayers how to evade the
law. All the newspapers opposing the
income tax are making much OF the
dissensions in the cabinet, but In the
principle the income tax seems to
have popular support and the present
campaign to undermine the cabinet is
considered more likely to strengthen
than to weaken the governments posi-
tion In parliament.

SAID DISTRICT ATTORNEY JE-
ROME WILL ASK FOR A COM.
MISSION IN LUNACY.
DEFENDANTS LAWYERS OPPOSE MOVE
PRISONER WOULD PREFER SING
SING AND DEATH CHAM
Ser TO AN ASYLUM.

New York. Feb. 1G.-Close observers
Of the Thaw trial, which has been
postponed for several days because of
the death of a jurors wife, believe the
present trend Of the trial as shown in
the last two days is toward a commits
sion in lunacy to determine officially
Harry Thaw's condition of mind. This
belief Is suggested by District Attor-
ney Jerome's apparent willingness to
admit part of the will; by his readi-
ness to withhold technical objections
to the testimony of Thaw's family
physicians tending to throw light upon
the defendants mental status and by
his policy in admitting without oppo-
sition the conversation between Thaw
and DR.. Evans when the latter was
examining the prisoner in the Tombs.
Counsel for Thaw have reached the
opinion that the trial may be ter
minated abruptly any day next week
from this cause. So fully convinced
are they that Jerome will make this
move that they are planning to fight
him on this line. Thaw himself is
credited with having declared that he
would not face the asylum in prefer
ence to Sing Sing and the death
chamber, SO it can be seen with what
feeling this expected move of Mr..
Jerome is creating In the camp OF the
defense.
One Of Thaw's lawyers, In speaking
of the probable plan for lunacy COM
mission, said:
Prosecutions Object Apparent.
''As the case has progressed from
more convinced by the conduct OF the
district attorney and his experts who
are observing the defendant for him
that 1t has been and is his purpose to
lead the case to the point where he
can apply properly for commission
In lunacy.
I'VE don't want the boy declared
insane. We want him acquitted" he
added.
Mr.. Jerome, when Questioned on
the subject Of the possible close Of the
trial by an application for commits
sion, declined to discuss the matter In
any way.
Death has again invaded Harry
Thaw's environment. Close on the
passing OF the wife OF Joseph B. Dol-
ton, one OF the Jurors, came the an
nouncement Of the death In hospital
of Michael D. Downey, who for months
had been Thaw's night keeper on the
second tier OF cells In the Tombs,
which is known as "murderers' row.
When Harry Thaw first came to the
Tombs Downey did not look with ia
vor on the new prisoner. But during
the long watches Of the night, when
Thaw paced up and down the narrow
confines of his cell. warm friend.
ship sprang up between the keeper
and the prisoner. When Downey Is
buried wreath bearing Thaw's card
will rest ON tue casket. Thaw sent
the order for the flowers to Warden
Flynn soon after he heard OF the
keepers death.

LEADER OF PEASANT PARTY,
JUST ARRIVED IN NEW YORK,
DISCUSSES SITUATION.
GOVERNMENT MUST GRANT DEMANDS
REFUSAL WILL RESULT IN BIG
STRIKE, TO BE FOLLOWED
BY REVOLUTION.

New York, Feb. 16-Alexis Alladin
leader of the peasant party in the
Russian duma, arrived here during
ne day on the steamer Majestic. Mr.
alladin purposes making a tour of the
country delivering lectures in the
cause of freedom In his native land
He already has been invited to speak
at Harvard and Yale. Mr.. Alladin
said upon his arrival that he would
not be at all astonished II the new
duma Is never organized.
Although born peasant Alladin
studied at the University OF Kazan.
from which he was expelled for voic.
ing liberal opinions. He then organ.
ized trades unions In the vicinity of
Kazan, for which he was arrested,
sentenced to four years imprison-
ment, to be followed by eight years
exile In North Russia.
1T Is now too late to stop the prog.
ress of liberty in Russia" he said
"The liberal sentiment Is so broadcast
and general throughout Russia that
1t will come to the front In spite of all
government opposition. It's progress
Is assured.
THE conditions In Russia have not
improved during the last year. Thirty
millions of people In Russia are today
practically on the point of starvation
and during March, April and May 1t Is
likely that 100000 people will die.
1t is my desire to appeal to the Amer
lean people to help
Ny Distressed countrymen,
but whatever money may be raised
here | don't want 1t to fall into the
hands of the Russian government Off
cials. The American relief commit
tees should have their own represen-
tatives in Russia to distribute the
funds.
'If the Russian government does
not grant constitutional form of gov.
ernment the greatest strike in the
history Of the world will follow. 1t
will be a greater strike than that of
1900. There has been great change
among the people since the previous
outbreak. Now they have a central
point Of organization and a point of
concentration. If the government ig-
nores the demands OF the duma the
general strike will follow. 1t will be
In March or April and will have the
support Of the navy. The concessions
asked from the crown from the last
duma have not been granted. The
people want personal liberty, freedom
of the press and financial control. The
government may grant some small
concessions, but If there is a strike
rebellion will follow. The people will
then insist on a republic. The army
will In time join the naval revolt,
which will be followed by the strike
OF the railroad employees, the govern
ment telegraph employees and the
working people In all the large mines
and factories"
