mittee on judiciary be discharged
inom further consideration of mis- bill

The remainder of the day was given
over to tie consideration Of a resolu-
ton by Senator Elkins, suspending
until January l. 1910, the commodity
clause Of the Hepburn railroad rate

debate and so many amendments were
offered dealing with other phases OF
railroad legislation that the whole
matter went over until Monday

ing and passing, paragraph by para
graph under suspension of the rules,

AS the outcome of determined eff
forts to strike from the bill a resolu-
ton prohibiting the employment Of
secret service employees in any de-
tective work other than the guarding

vigorously opposed by members of the

was agreed to and the paragraph
adopted in substantially its original
form.

ter, to unanimous consent defeated
