cUMMlNs INTRODUCES MEASURE
PRACTICALLY sUPPLANTING
INTERSTATE COMMERCE ACT.
.ELKINS WILL ALSO SUBMIT BILL
Iowa Senator Advocates Uniform
Classification for Freight Ship.
ments-Plan for Stock
Payment at Par.

Washington, d. c. - A contro-
versy over railroad legislation will be
precipitated in congress this winter,
which, in Importance, promises TO
surpass the legislative conflict over
railroad rates four years ago.
The first gun was fired by Senator
Cummins of Iowa when he produced
a bill proposing radical changes in
the interstate commerce act. In a
large sense the Cummins measure is
a substitute for the present interstate
commerce act.
1t is expected that a measure pro-
posing amendments to the law will be
introduced early in January hy Sen
ator Elkins, which will differ from the
Cummins bill in many important de-
tails.
Uniform Glasses Provided.
In brief, the Cummins bill requires
the interstate commerce commission
to promulgate a uniform classification
Of freight, and to prepare plan or
the statement OF freight rates which
shall hereafter be made in a uniform
way. The carriers are required to
adopt this classification.
The commission is authorized to
consider rates on its own motion with
a view to determine their reason
ableness, and is empowered to Ak
maximum and minimum rates.
In any action instituted in court to
set aside an order of the commission
respecting the rates, the courts are
prevented from inquiring into the rea-
sonableness or sufficiency of any rate
fixed by the commission.
The bill provides that changes in
rates shall not become effective until
they are approved by the commission.
1t prohibits the acquisition Of control
by any common carrier of any paral-
lei competing line, or from acquiring
the capital stock or bonds Of any 9th
er carrier which is a competitor.
BY the terms of the bill carrier Is
prohibited from issuing any capital
stock without payment in par, either
in money or in property and, in effect,
the commission shall have supervision
Of the issues of stocks and bonds by
any carrier Specific directions are
given for the disposition Of the pro-
ceeds of any sale Of bonds.
After January /, 1911, no carrier do
ing interstate business shall be per-
mitted to engage in any other bust
ness than that Of common carrier.

Fisheries Boat Tows Craft TO Erie,
Pa, Where IdentiHeations Are
Msde-ship Is Believed to
Have Founded.

Erie. Pa.-With her flag at half
mast, the state fisheries boat, Com
modore Perry, Capt. Gerry Driscoll
commanding, brought to this port the
frozen bodies of nine of the crew
Of the Bessemer and Marquette ferry
No. 2, which left Conneaut, Ohio, Tues
day morning, carrying thirty-two men
and which has probably foundered In
the middle of Like Erie.
For forty-eight hours Commodore
Perry has been searching the waters
Of Eastern Lake Erie for traces of the
car ferry, but until a tiny lehman
yawl was sighted fifteen miles OFF this
port, the men on the little state fish
cries craft had almost given up hope
Of being able to ever tell even a
portion OF the story Of the fate Of the
big car ferry.
AS the lookout on the Perry sighted
a tiny half.sunken yawl at about noon
orders were given 20 steam down up
on the object. The use Of glasses dis
covered the boat to be loaded with
nine men.
Arrived To Late.
AS the Perry came abreast of the
drifting and half water-logged yawl,
the men gathered at the side of the
fish boat saw that they arrived too
late. The nine occupants Of the boat,
which was marked "Bessemer and
Marquette No. A. were frozen stiff.
Taking the yawl in tow, the Perry
Ill Co.
Capt. johnson Of the life-saving sta
ton Of this port. had already sighted
the fish boat and tow and making out
the contents Of the yawl, had notified
the Erie chief of police, from Pressure
Peninsula, who in turn notified the
coroner. All police reserves were cal
led out and ambulances lined the
wharyes as the Perry docked.
News Of the finding of the bodies
had reached the city and thousands of
persons swarmed TO the wharves. AS
soon as the fish boat made fast
force Of men with tackle set TO work
raising the bodies of the men TO the
dock, where wagons were in waiting.
The procession of dead passed through
the principal streets of the city, with
hundreds OF people following.
Conneaut, Ohio, where most of the
men lived, was notified by telephone
Of the grewsome find, and a hundred
residents OF that city arrived here
within two hours. They were taken
directly to the coroner's mOrgue,
where identifications were made.
Only One Had OVercoat.
The cook of the car ferry was the
only man to wear an overcoat. The
eight other men were dressed in over
slls and jumpers, indicating that the
departure from the car ferry had been
hurried. In the bow end of the boat
was found complete clothing for one
man, and it is the belief that the
yawl originally contained ten men,
and That one becoming crazed, dis
carded his clothing and jumped into
the icy waters of Lake Erie.
