President Roosevelt's message to
the first session OF the Sixtieth con
gress was sent to the Capitol yester-
day and read in both houses. u was
taken from the White House TO the
Capitol by Assistant Secretly Latta
The following IS summary Of the
message:

to Denver at t less rate than direct to
Denver. He suggested that this might
explain in part the shortage of cars
throughout the country.
The witness said all he asked was
equality in rates. He did not ask for
lower rates for Denver, provided the
city would be treated equally as well
as other localities.
Attorney J. F. Vail for the Denver
G Rio Grande railroad cross-examined
the witness in an effort to show that
the rates over his railroad were not
excessive.
The attorneys for the railroads also
asked few questions of Mr. Kindell.
A. ]. Spengell furniture dealer OF
Denver, complained Of the rates on
furniture and carpets. He said that
as president of the Chamber of Com.
merce he had prepared a brief on the
railroad rates, which was presented tu
all the western railroads. Nothing
came of this, although the roads prom
ised to take the matter up. He said
that they did not ask for a specific
railroad rate, but they wanted to get
competitive territory on an equal ba
sis with other places.

Denver, Colo, Jan. 21.-Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Prouty be-
gan an investigation here today Of al
legged violations of the interstate com
merce law by railroads affecting Den
yer and other Colorado points. Three
cases are under examination. Two of
them are upon complaints filed by the
Merchants Traffic association of Den
yer, and the third instituted by George
j. Kindell, a. Denver manufacturer.
The defendants in these cases com
prise about 20 of the strongest trunk
line railroad corporations in the coun-
try.
The complainants allege violations
of Section of the interstate com
merce act, which forbids the charging
of a rate for a short haul which shall
be higher in the aggregate than for
a longer haul under circumstances and
conditions, and also the requirement
that the. shipper on the longer haul
shall not pay a higher rate per ton
per mile than on the shorter haul in
the same direction.
Generally the allegations are of I'M

yirtnous mothers and who admire wo
men as the most priceless jewel of
their civilization will do as we of the
south have DONE"
He said the south had nothing to
fear from an investigation of the
whole question, in the south. The
south was offering anywhere from
four to 100 maidens and matrons to
this modern beast annually.
The north had a billion invested in
the south and self-interests made it
their duty to move to do something
to relieve the situation.
At his conclusion Senator Tillman
was applauded.
Senator Tillman concluded at 1921
p, M, when Senator spooner rose to
reply. Senator Spooner said he de.
clined to be taunted or beguiled into
competition in the use of offensive
epithets. The senator, he said, would
look in vain in the record for an as
sault or offensive epithet he had an

"A dozen attorneys appeared for the
various defendant railroads. The first
half hour was taken up in discus
sion between Mr.. Prouty and the at
torneys as to the method of proceed

be admitted. George ]. Kindell, was
the first witness called. His testi-
mony was a technical expose Of rates
on cotton piece goods or other com
modities, illustrated by diagrams and
maps, showing the discrimination
against Denver.
Sample Of Discrimination.
Mr.. Kindell filed number of tables
with the commission, according to
which there is discrimination against
Denver in many commodities from
eastern points. These tables illus
trates the different methods of fgur-
ing out comprehensive tariff rates.
Some of the tables showed that GER

He was not senatorial censor. II
he was one he would not attempt to
teach the senator (Mr. Tillman), be-
cause the latter had deliberately
characterized his colleagues by name
at the outset of his speech.
His estimate of Mr.. Tillman was
that he would regret some of his words
today as he later read them in the
record.
Mr.. Spooner said the senator could
not be more mistaken or unjust than
to charge him with holding malice.
"He- has never given me cause" Mr..
spooner added. s'It was appropriate
for him to say he criticized the atti-
tude and utterances of a senator, and
withdraw In respect what ! said as
to the effect OF those utterances.
"lf he should utter words which
would inspire the black man OF the
south to disregard law and place more
dificulty In the way Of white people

At this point Mr.. Tillman turned
his attention to Senator Spooner's re-
cent attack upon him. He had nor
intended to speak on the Brownsville
question, but the unprecedented ac-
.tions and utterances' of the senator
made it necessary.

Mr.. Tillman declared than in Sena

Senator Tillman took the floor 4
the conclusion of the morning busi-

of himself by Senator Spooner.
AS a prelude to this he paid his COM
