and Improvement work by many rail
roads in the country, especially insthe
South. has been suspended for an in
definite period. The report that
the Richmond and Chesapeake
Bay line had dismissed its surveying
corps for work north Of Ashland did
not create surprise, but the hope has
been expressed by officers of the cnru
pany that the suspension will b0 OF
a temporary nature. From Ashlniid
twelve surveys Were to be made. Much
secrecy has been observed as tos.the

who claim to be familiar with the pur..
poses of the company say that tnete
will be more than trolley line lbe-

day. The steam roads IN the South
have denied that. working forces were
dropped because OF adverse legisla-

clare that the attitude OF the Federal

Chairman William McCarroll OF New York

A statement OF Mr.. Cannon that a max

explained how carefully such tarin must
be drawn to afford protection to American
Interests and clothe the executive with
power TO retaliate when other nations dis

LINCOLN, Jan. 16,-(Special.)-A rival to
Senator Saunders bill providing for trust
companies TO administer trust funds and
estates was introduced in the senate today
by King of Polk. This bill. like Saunders,
prohibits the trust companies engaging in
the banking business except in a very
limited way. IL provides the companies
shall not receive deposits subject to check
and shall not buy or sell exchange They
may make investments of funds left In
their charge and the nature of the securi-
ties they may invest in is designated by
the bill. Under the bill the usual opera
tions of savings banks would be allowable
to trust companies.
Senator Gibson has another bill relating

The mayor is made ex-officio chairman, but

Senator Sibley has introduced two bills
to amend the revenue law TO. make 1t more
stringent and less easily evaded. Both
measures are said to have the support OF
the state association Of assessors, One of
them will make it impossible TO collect any
evidence Of Indebtedness such as a note or
mortgage until the taxes on II have been
paid. The other requires mercantile cor
pOrations and firms, grain companies and
foreign corporations to make schedule
showing the volume OF business transacted
during the year and the average capital in
vested in stock during the year as a basis
for taxation. Under the present system II
is possible to reduce the stock In some in
stances on April /. thereby greatly reducing
the amount OF property subject to taxa
ton. This bill will make the average cap
ital for the year the basis. Foreign cor
porations are required to report the busi-

Senator Sackett today introduced his bill
for the abolition of free passes and franks
of all kinds. The bill covers more ground
than the other bills on the subject and
affects telephones. express and sleeping
car franks as well as railroad passes. 1t
also makes provision for procedure in cases
OF prosecution under IT,
George II. Moore, an old Burlington poll
tician and an engineer in the employ Of the
road, was at the state house today con-
sulting with members of the railroad com
mittee. 1t is said he is here in the inter
ests of the resolution to memorabilia con-
gress TO defeat the LaFollette bill restrict
ing the hours of labor Of railroad employees
to sixteen hours. The railroad committee
listened to a delegation yesterday on the
same subject One of the delegation, who
is a trainman, admitted he had worked
hfty-two hours continuously and had to
put tobacco in his eyes TO keep them
open. The railroad men contend the pro-
posed law would prevent them from finish
ing their runs even II they were close to
the end when the sixteen hours was up.

Considerable anxiety has been occasioned
to friends and relatives of Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry Doorly, advertising manager of the
World Herald. when the news of the earth
quake disaster at Kingston, Jamaica, was
received, as the couple sailed from New
York January on the steamer Tagus'
which was due to stop at Kingston jan
uary II, and to depart from there about
January 10 or IA. Inasmuch as no news OF
disaster TO shipping has been received it
is thought probable the Tagus left Kings
ton before the earthquake. Mrs Doorly Is

Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Haines, 64 South

for few days. They arrived at Kingston

WASHINGTON. Jan. 16.-The fortihca-
tions appropriation bill was passed today
by the house without amendment, an un-
usual thing with appropriation bills.
The appropriation BILL for the District of
Columbia was taken up, but no time was
set for the close of the general debates.
During the consideration of the district
bill notable speeches were made by Foster
OF Vermont, supporting the president in
his message on the japanese situation in
California, and by Representative Sheppard
of Texas. who enthused the democrats by
a closely prepared address on politics and
the state of the nation.
The house, without making any progress
on the District of Columbia bill, adjourned
at 1850 p. M
