IN THE SENATE.
Lodge Favors Aldrioh BiIl-Frye's Re-
satta Safety Bill Passed.

Washington, March Ex-senator
Ledge of Massachusetts strongly en-
dorsed the pending currency bill in
the Senate today. He declared that it
would be scrviceable as an emergency
measure and would not prevent the en-
actment of general currency law
which. he hoped, to see realized in the
future on the basis of a central bank.
Senator Paynter of Kentucky OPP
posed the bill in 4 short speech and es-
pecially attacked the provision to in
sure bank deposits.
Referring to Senator Depew's recent
remarks about might riders" and
barn burning in Kentucky, both Sep
ators Paynter and McCreary of that
state condemned such laWlessness and
denounced the tobacco trust.
Senator Mills Of Minnesota gave no
tlcc of an amendment he will propose
to the pending currency bill requiring
national banks to pay 2 per cent. inter-
est on weekly balances Of government
deposits Of money. The Senate passed
the Frye bill to provide for safety Of
life on navigable waters during re-
gattas or marine parades. The bill
empowers the secretary OF commerce
ana labor to make regulations and en-
force penalties for noncompliance,
such regulations to govern the move
ments of all private craft during re-
gattas and marine parades. The RE-
gatta act which this legislation Will
supplant and repeal, had no penalties
attached and was not broad enough to
reach marine parades such as will be
held at San Francisco when the battle
ship fleet arrives.
Senator Frye's bill providing for the
shipment of material for the Panama
canal in American vessels only was
amended SO as to make general the
exclusion of port in which American
vessels could not be secured instead
of combining that exclusion to the Gulf
ports as was done by Senator Fosters
amendment which was accepted q few
days ago.

important conference. was held at the

was continued to-day. respecting
amendments to the sherman antitrust
law. The changes In the. law, 1t is
expected. will be proposed along the
the lines suggested by the conference
of the Civic Federation held in Chi
cago a few weeks ago. No certain
conclusions were reached, and 1t Is
likely that further conferences will
stood. is desirous that bill embody-
ing the conciusions of the confer

to Congress for passage at this ses-
Participating in the conference were

Stetson of the firm Of j. z. Morgan 6.
Co. of New York.
Probably within week measure
will be drafted which will be satsfac-
tory to all parties. The particular in
terest Of the labor organizations is to
law which will exempt them from the
practical operation OF the act as to con-
spiracies In restraint of trade. A prop
osition of that kind now Is pending in
Congress, but 1t would be unconstitu-
tional II passed in it's present shape.
Amendments were proposed relating to
the operation of railroads. one pro-
viding that pooling, under proper re-
strictlons ought to be permitted by
law. 1t also was suggested that con-
solidations and traffic arrangements
ought to be permitted between con-
Meeting lines under such regulations
as would prevent abuse of that power.
An important amendment was also
proposed by which there would be
further regulation of corporations do
ing an interstate busne~S and pro-
viding for reports of such Officers to
the Department. of Commerce and La
bor, along the lines of the reports
now made by the railroads TO the In
terstate Commerce Commission. Such
an amendment. 1t was pointed out.
would insure proper publicity of the
operations of interstate corporations
and insure the utmost fairness in all
dealings with the people.
1t was pointed out that, with the
enactment of the amendments pro-
posed, the government might begin
anew It's work of dealing with cor
porations. In fact, 1t was proposed
that prosecutions now In contempia-
tion by the government against cor
porations under the provisions of the
Sherman act be abandoned, If the pro-
posed amendments should be enacted
into law,
