TiIlman Denies the Charge.

. Washington, Feb. 9.-Senator
Tillman denies he ever voted for a
negro for congress, or that he said
so in executive session. He says that
when he was governor, as a member
of the board of canvassers, he voted
to give George Washington Murray
the certificate of election over MS
white opponent. The State, he says
had been gerrymandered in the way
he described yesterday and black
district formed so as to preclude the
election to congress of more than
one negro from the State.

BAILEY INTRODUCES BILL.
Interstate Commerce Act Is To Be
 Amended

Washington, May 6.-Close upon the de- cision of the supreme court of the United States in the commodities clause case. Senator Bailey today introduced a bill amending the interstate commerce act so as to apply the provisions Of the com modities clause to any Corporation or joint stock company which owns or con- trols directly or indirectly" such sub sidiary corporations.
 In presenting the bill Mir. Bailey said he had not read the opinion of the court in this case but he had read enough to see that 1t "sustained the principles upon which the commodities clause was based" and the decision showed that the act did not cover all those cases that he knew the author intended it to cover
 '"The court held that the act did not in- clude cases in which railroads own stock nor a corporation which produces or manufactures the articles to be trans ported" said MT. Bailey 'and the amend ment I now propose is intended to rem edy that defect, if defect it was. Those who were responsible for that amend ment to the Hepburn act felt that the words directly or Indirectly covered every possible contingency, but In view of the decision of the court 1t seems necessary to change that language"
 Mir. Culberson said he had the cou- modites clause decision and that he in- tended asking to have it printed as a document. MT Bailey withdrew his bill so that before introducing 1t he might read the full opinion.
 Representative Wanger of Pennsylvania today presented bill in the House mak- ing 1t illegal for a railroad company to transport commodity for any corpora tion in which it holds stock, and of which it Is a creditor.

 "Referring to the turpentine held by the Naval Stores Export company, Mr Coachma1 told me he thought the tur- pentine ought to be sold, and it was probable we would be approached per- haps yecv soon to see If we could take purchasing turpentine, and anything dono would have to be done by the men who attended to the business in Savannah MT.
