the senate was taken up for two hours
yesterday with speech by Senator
Jeff Davis of Arkansas asking that the
committee on the judiciatry be dis
charged from further consideration of

The remainder of the day was given
over to the consideration of resolu-

til Jan. /, 1910, the commodity clause
of the Hepburn railroad rate law.
The resolution provoked so much de-
hates and so many amendments
were offered dealing with other
phases of railroad legislation that the
whole matter went over until Monday.
The commodity clause, under the
provisions of the Hepburn bill, went
into effect yesterday and railroads
therefore which haul interstate COM
nlerce products of mines or manufac-
tories In which the carriers are inter-
ested are liable to maximum fines OF
$1,000 for each offense.
The Elkins resolution proposes to
give the railroads 20 months additional
in which to divorce themselves from
those properties, on the ground that
the financial condition of the country
has been such that the railroads have
been unable to find buyers and to set
tie such questions of joint ownership
as are involved in mortgages covering
both the railroad property and mining
or manufacturing property.
