DISCUSSES TILLMAN.
BOnaparte Refers to Senator In a Law
 Brief.

BOnaparte Refers to Senator In a Law
 Brief.
 Washington. Jan. 27.-By 6 peculiar coincidence. Attorney General Bona parte is called upon to discuss Sena- tor TIllman of South Carolina at some length in a brief filed by him in the Supreme Court of the United States,
 The brief relates to the "commodi- ties clause" cases and deals especially with the question aB to whether the law prohibiting interstate railroads from transporting commodities and produced by themselves includes the ownership of the stock of companies owning or producing such comm odt- ties.
 The Attorney General undertakes to show that stock ownership ia included in the prohibition. He relates some or the proceedings in the Senate when the "commodities clause" was under considera tion and reeites the fact that Senator Tillman was the only Senator who introduced a substitute for the clause specifically providing against stock ownership. He admits that the substitute was voted down by practi- cally A two-thirds majority but con- tends that such result should not be construed as indicating desire py tne Senate not to prohibit such ownership.
 He calls attention to the fact that there was practically no debate on this point and says that the rejection Of the Tfllman provision under these cir cunstances should not be held 10 im- nIv that the Senate did not consider the broad language of the provision as adopted sufficient to include stock own ership by railroad.
 Reference is made to the view ex- pressed by Mir. Tillman that without his amendment the whole provision might as well be stricken out.
 After all" says Mir. Bonaparte. "hIs view was only that of an indi- vidual member of the Senate, express ed fin debate, which. of course. cannot he held as controlling the meaning of the enactment or even throwing any light on it for the purpose of judi cial inquiry.
