House Gets Right Down
To BlsineSS.
Railroads Must Now Report
Accidents Monthly.
Session a Long One, Lasting Until
Long After Midnight.

Washington, Dec. 15.-Sitting until
after nightfall, the House buckled
down to business today, passed the
Esch bill requiring railroads to make
full monthly reports to the Interstate
Commerce Commission of all accidents
and a measure giving the Commission
power to copel railroads to provide uni
form equipment for their cars, and
then took up for consideration the
Mann Panama canal bill on which gen.
eral debate was concluded before ad-
journment.
Considerable opposition developed to
Section Of the Esch bill, prohibiting
the admissions evidence or the use
in any action for damages, of the re-
ports furnished by the railroads or
the reports of the Interstate Commerce
Commission of Investigations of acct
dents provided for in the measure.
Chairman Mann urged that it be al
lowed to remain in the bill until
anne nded to encourage railroad COM
panies to give the commission the ben
eft of their fullest information of &C
cidents
Several amendments calculated to
modify or destroy the section were de-
feated. The bill becomes effective i'm
mediately.
When the Panama canal bill was re-
ported by the committee on interstate
and foreign commerce, the House i'm
mediately resolved itself into the COM
mittee of the whole for it's considera-
ton. Its author, Rep. Mann. Ills, ex-
planned it's provisions, after which
general debate was begun.
The abolition Of the isthmian canal COM
mission and the Capitalization of respon-
sibility and authority for the construc-
tion Of the canal and the government of
the canal zone under the President as a
director-general, were bitterly opposed
by several representatives. 1t was con-
tended that Congress had no power to del
egate legislative or judicial authority to
the President. and Rep. Harrison, N. Y,
charged that ex-President Roosevelt as
stunned the role Of dictator and usurped
authority in the canal zone he did not
possess.
Rep. Olmsted, Pa, rushed to the eX-
Presidents defence and insisted that Mr..
Roosevelt did not exceed his authority.
Mr.. Mann also justified Mr.. Roosevelt
actions.
The section of the bill relating to the
judicial power in the zone. which, as
amended by the committee, confers that
power in one circuit court and such in
. ferior courts as the President may consti-
tute. was also the object of attack. Rep.
Sterling, I'LL. endeavored to show that
there was work enough for the three cir
: cult judges now in the zone, and Rep
Perker, N. j., chairman of the judiciary
1 committee. said he did not approve Of
| that section of the bill as it had been
amended by the committee.
! Before the House rose from the COM
lmittee of the whole the reading of the bill
! had begun, with the understanding that it
iwould be taken up again soon after the
holiday recess.
The House adjourned until tomorrow.

fUteV Sflead'S Mother Arrested
Charged WithDaughter's Murder.

This wording is substantially the same
as that of the East Orange note, on which
hangs the whole case of the state or New
Jersey against Virginia WardlaW, MIS-.
Martins sister, and the last person known
to have seen Ocey Snead alive. Experts
have doubted the genuineness of this ntoe.
If proved forgery the theory of suicide
held by the defence would fail the evil
Tenco discovered today that someone
made repeated trial drafts of the note will
be used by the prosecution to further
combat the question of its authorship.
Yesterday forenoon a heavily yelled.
taciturn woman. well advanced in years,
alighted from a cab at the Hotel Bayard
and gave her name at the desk as Mrs.
Mayberry." Her actions were SO unusual
as to arouse the suspicious of both the
hotel management and ithe cabbie. The
hotel manager notified police quarters.
which in turn notified East Orange. De-
tectives who knocked at the door were
refused admission.
Mrs. Mayberry" answered such ques-
tions as she chose from behind a closed
door and then dismissed the batfied detec-
tives. She admitted her identity. Her
case had given the hotel such notoriety
that it requested her to surrender her
room.
In the vacated room newspaper men
found in addition to the three notes a
bundle of clippings and memoranda, all
bearing on the Snead case, disputed wills
and life insurance.

FAVORABLE REPORT
Will Be Rendered OH Nomination @,
Iurton for Supreme Court.

Washington, Dec. 15.-The Senate
committee on judiciary voted unani-
mously today to report favoraply the
nomination of Judge Horace H. Lur-
ton to be an associate Justice of the
supreme court of the United States
Some members of the committee OK.
pressed the opinion that it would have
been better to have named q younger
man. Judge Lurton being in his 66th
year, but there was no general oppo-
sition to him, or any criticism except
as to his age. Tho report will be made
or Thursday by Senator Bacon.
1t was stated in the committee that
there may be some opposition to the
confirmation of Judge Lurton in the
Senate and it was thought advisable
to let the opposition appear there
rather than by delaying report. 1t
was pointed out that Judge Lurton had
had % years experience on the bench
and the general opinion among men,
bers of the committee was that he was
entitled to the courtesy of prompt ac-
ton by the committee
