PARTY RATE on SEABOARD

Party rates-for which the theatre
cal companies have been contending
with apparently small chance of sue
eess-have been granted by the Sea-
board Air Line. effective April =. /.
The action of the Seaboard will more
than likely be followed by other
roads which have heretofore sternly
vetoed any such a suggestion.
While theatrical companies will be
the chief beneficiaries, the privilege
is extended to any party of ten or

people who desire 10 travel on one

cent rate. while private excursions of
all kinds will be encouraged.
When the Interstate Commerce
Commission took charge of the rail-
roads a little over a year ago. the
roads found they could not grant any
rate to theatrical companies which
was not equally open 10 all parties
of equal size. The railroads then cut
out the special rates for theatrical
companies, placing each member on
the same basis as a simple traveller,
The only reduction was in buying

SENATOR BAC0N'S BILL.

Senator Bacon's bill to place ship
ments of liquor from one state into
another under the same regulation as
intra-state shipments. is said to stand
an excellent chance of favorable rec
ommendation by the subcommittee.
Senator Bacon contends that the bill
is in no sense a prohibition bill, but is
designed merely to protect state rights
in the methods of dealing with the
liquor traffic
Naturally enough the liquor in
terests will make a determined fight
on such a bill, as it would be a most
serious blow to their business. In
spite of the extension of prohibition
territory, the gross sales of intoxi-
cants steadily increases The passage
of Senator Bacons bill would be a
great victory for the prohibitionists.

PRESIDENT Is SUSTAINED

In its report on the shooting up of
Brownsville, Texas, by the negro
soldiers in August, of last year. the
Senate committee on military affairs
has by a vote of to I sustained the
President in his order discharging
three companies of the Twenty-ffth
Infantry Senator Foraker made a
stubborn fight for a resolution con-
demning the President, or at least
one declaring that the testimony fail
ed to identify any individuals as the
parties guilty of shooting up the
town
Though defeated in committee. SEN
ator Foraker has signifed his inten-
ton to carry the fight to the Senate.
Both his defeat and the continuation
of the contest were anticipated 1t
is worthy of note that a majority of
the Republican members of the COM
mittee sided with Senator Foraker,
his defeat being encompassed by the
aid Of the Democratic members.
The rioting occurred on the nights
of Aug. Is and Il. a number of per
sons being killed and injured by the
bullets. The citizens claimed that
the shooting was done by the ne
groes. while Senator Foraker tried
to make it appear that the citizens had
fired the bullets themselves in order
to getthe negro troops in trouble,
On Nov. p the President issued an
order disbanding the companies
without honor. At the last ses-
sion Of Congress Senator Foraker in
troduced a resolution in behalf of the
negro troops. Much evidence was
taken by the committee on military af-
fairs. one trip being made 10 Browns
vile. Some of the bullets used in
the firing were analysed and found
to contain anthony. which metal was
not provided for in the specifications.
Foraker evidently thought he had
proved his contention. but later de-
velopmen1s showed that antimony
was actually used in the manufacture
of the bullets furnished the Govern
ment though the specifications did
not provide for it.
Senator Foraker has been trying
to use the discharge of the negro
soldiers as q platform upon which

dent, His efforts. however, has not
been very successful, as Taft was
victorious in Ohio. where Foraker had
