Court of the United States, and the
other Senator ]. P. Dolliver, Of Iowa,
who, more than any other senator,
was potential in determining the form
Of the railroad rate bill. These two
gentlemen are better qualified than
any other person upon this subject
and both have testified to the sin
cerity and importance of Senator
Knox's work in connection with that
/ legislation.
| Mr.. Moody made speech at the
Academy of Music in Philadelphia
on October %, 1906, at which time
he said:
II think it was providential that
your great citizen (Mr. Knox) be-
came attorney general, and also
think 1t was providential that you
Withdrew him and put him in another
place. For no man was more poten-
tial in the framing of that law than
was the junior senator from Pennsyl-
vania. None stood more firmly at
the back of President Roosevelt, and
/ wish TO say now, and consider
myself honored in saying it, that IN
every principle Of law involved in
that bill there was not an iota OF diff
ference between the senator from
Pennsylvania and myself"
Senator Dolliver, one of the most
ardent friends of the rate bill upon
the committee on interstate COM
merce, said in the Senate on May
II, 1906.
"Now in drafting this bill the fra

AT SESSION OF CONGRESS.
There is Talk Of Making Some
Changes in Railroad Rate Bill.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Especial.
There is talk Of making some changes
in the railroad rate bill at this session
Of Congress, but il this is undertaken
il will be only for the purpose of per-
fccting the law and making some
minor changes that will smooth over
the rouef ,,laces. Friends of the
Rooscvc' oolicies will see to it that
nothing / done to weaken the law
or make il less effective.
Senator Philander c. Knox, PEN
nsylvania's candidate for the presid-
ency, had a great deal to do with the
enactment of the railroad rate bill
and ii was principally due to his ef-
forts that specific provision was in
serted for court review OF the find
'ngs OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
Senator Knox contended for this
provision because he believed it
would strengthen the law and that
without it the act might be unconsti-
tutional Because OF these views
those who opposed his ideas gave out
the impression that Mr.. Knox was
not in harmony with the administra-
ton and went so far as to try to
make it appear that he wanted to
weaken the measure.
The falsity Of these statements is
proven by the utterance of at least
two eminent witnesses, one OF them

eceded Mr.. Knox in the cabinet, and
is now justice of the Supreme

WANT FINN'S SCALP.

Held in leash for the entire season, with only an occasional grumble, the storm of pent-up knocking, has at last broken forth, and fans by the dozens, and some directors of the Little Rock club are urging the selec- ton of a new manager for the Travellers. They say Mike Finn is a good man all right, but when he has picked good players his usefulness ends, the players showing no respect for him when on the field. The fans know Lit tie Rock has the best individual players in the league, both as fielders and batters. and should today be leading the league, and say the playing of the team on the road. where all the games are lost, is simply through fail ure to try. The fans are also loudly knocking Finn because East was allowed to go to Nash vile. They think he would make a better manager than Finn, and a member of the directors of the local club has expressed the same opinion. Despite the uncompli- mentary remarks, Finn is sure to remain with the Travellers thru the season.

 Mivelaz is now in charge of the

Conner, who took charge yesterday afternoon, and the res taurant will be operated right along for the benefit of the cred itors, the receiver being of the opinion he can make it pay. The involuntary bankruptcy proceed ings which were filed in the morning, were withdrawn when Caldwell appeared before Refer ee C. C. Waters and admitted his inability to pay his debts. This also took the matter from the state courts; where an appli- cation for a receiver had been filed. and gave the referee juris- diction. Sympathy is largely with Caldwell. Since he had been forced into bankruptcy, peo- pie have begun to comment on the amount of money Caldwell < Drake have brought to Little Rock, and how much of 1t Char les Caldwell has individually been responsible for. Caldwell is still a popular young man, and his creditors are undertaking a settlement which will relieve him of his obligations and start business anew.

AFTER NEGRO.

Yesterday morning while Mrs. Wiley Fairchild, living near Ross ton, was doing some work near the house she discovered some one entering it. Thinking proo- ably it was a neighbor she start ed to the house, but on approach ing she found all the doors closed and this frightened her to such an extent that she raised an alarm, when negro of that com munity jumped out of the win dow and ran into the woods.
 A posse was quickly formed and went in pursuit, and if cap tuaed will be dealt with severely in all probability.
 The intent of the negro, of course, is not definitely known. whether he was intending to rob the house or await Mrs. Fair child's entrance into the home and do her harm.
