BILL TO CODlFY LAWS
LINES UP OPPOSITION
Amendments Uniformly Voted
Down by Republican Majorj-
ty; Democrats Deny Inten-
ton to FiIibuSter


Washington. Jan. IA vigorous
fight was waged In the house today
over the bin to codiry and revise the
penal laws of the United states with
particular reference to section 49, ar
fecting conspiracies against he civil
rights of citizens.
Messrs. smith Of Missouri and
Hughes OF New Jersey offered amend
ments for having their object the cN-
emption OF labor unions from the
operation OF the section whenever
such unions declare strikes or boy
colts. A motion to strike out the
whole section was made by Mr Bart
lett. of Georgia The brunt Of de-
bate was borne by MIR. SehcrleN of
Kentucky. a member of the committee
on revision, but he was supported by
a number OF republicans. These
amendments were all lost as was one
by Mr. DeArmond to strike cut see
ton 20. but It conferred on federal
courts in Furnishing felonies aud COM
mtted under section ~, the authority
given to the courts of the state in
which the acts are committed. The
only amendment to successfully pass
the gauntlet was one pS MT. Clatk OF
Missouri striking out that portion of
section 10 which provides for offend
ers the additional punishment of in
eligibility to hold any office Of honor
trust or profit under the government
In anticipation Of the debate and
the necessity for votes the republican
leaders mustered their fun strength
and thereby were enabled to vote
down all amendments which they
deemed undesirable,
The exceeding earnestness of the de-
bate led to the charge that there had
been a pre-arrangement but this was
denied The democratic leaders de-
clarcd that hey had no intention Of
conducting a 6libuster
The fact ha many of the votes
taken during the somewhat stormy
debate were almost strict party votes
was declared by democratic leaders
to be incidental and not significant Of
any preconcerted plan 1t Is likely
that he discussion Of the bill on the
points of law would be INDUCED in

Laramie. Wyon Jan. 1.-THE I'm
ion Pacific has purchased for the year
l7S miles Of ninety pound rails for
additional second track said A. l..
MohIer, vice president and general
manager Of the Union Pacific at the
opening session OF the Wyoming Wool
Growers association, in the course of
an address on the promised improve
mcnt of facilities for his road. But
Mr.. Mohler deprecated the wave of
prohibition as a possible means of re-
ducing traffic the recent reform leGis-
aton and the determination in various
sections to enforce the new tax sys-
tens on railroads--all these elements
that might deter the progress of rail-
road development in the next year
He admitted that millions should be
employed in the work of extending
railroads but asked where the money
was to be obtained under such con-
ditions.
with the prohibition wave grad
ually spreading and with the probable
tariff reduction it would seem ulti-
mately that the government viii de-
sire to tax interstate business which
represents on the Union Pacific So per
cent of its business.
Mr.. Moher said the amount of
money spcnt on second track alone
and the taxes in the states of wy
oming and Nebraska far exceeds the
gross earnings derived in these two
states and allows nothing whatever
for the maintenance for the old lines
nor interest or dividends.
1T is quite within bounds TO say
that during the next five years this
country should spend many millions
in the enlargement of its railroad ia
cillties How this money can be OBJ
tanned with the restriction applying
to transportation lines is difficult
question to answer.
"Reformers and agitators and the
people may as well face the situation
and meet squarely with full recogni-
ton of the present condition of af-
fairs which prevents needed capital
from investing. There can be no thor
oughly marked revival Of new rail-
road construction on a scale commen-
surate with the necessitates of this
western country until securities re-
ceve greater protection than at
present, Notwithstanding it is easy to
say that railroads must be forced to

Chicago, Jan. 1l.--Attorneys for the
STANDARD oil company today filed a
petition In the United States circuit
court of appeals asking that body to
certify to the supreme court of the
United states the allegations to the
validity Of the Elkins law under which
the oil company was recently indict-
cd convicted and fined s29,240,0 goo for
rebating. The step is taken in pursu-
ance of the appeal filed by the COM
pany against he big fine.
1t is contended by the company S
attorney that the Elkins law was re-
pcaled by the passage Of the Hepburn
bill in 1906. The same contention
has been advanced in an app aal of 20
the supreme court by the Great North
ern Railway company which appeal is
now pending. The Standard Oil com
pany petition seeks to have the ques-
tion certified in the oil case so that it
may be decided when the Great
Northern case is settled. The new
judges of the court of appeals have
taken the appeal under advisement.
Whether other cases pending against
die Standard OIL company Of Indi-
ana will be tried depends upon the
outcome of the appeal in the first
case. Should the Elkins law be de-
clared invalid all indictments against
the corporation would be rendered
void, as would also the fine of $2g,-
