FULTON BILL
NOT IN FAVOR
Senate Committee on Inter
state Commerce Will Make
Adverse Report.
MESSAGE FROM ROOSEVELT
MORE AUTHORITY FOR THE COM
MISSION RECOMMENDED.

Washington, Jan 6.--An adverse report
of the senate on Senator FultOn's bill to
prohibit railroads from increasing freight
and passenger rates without due notice
was made today by Chairman Elkins of
the committee on interstate commerce.
The action anticipated a message from
President Roosevelt calling attention to
the need for further legislation on rail-
road rates as indicated by the recent de-
cision of the supreme court of the United
States in the case Of T. II. Hartman
against the interstate commerce commits
sion. The report by Senator Elkins was
made after two votes had been taken on
the Fulton bill at a meeting of the COM
mittee earlier in the day Several mem
bers of the committee were absent.
The senators opposing the bill obtained
authority to make the adverse report after
having procured the vote of Senator For
akeT. one of the absentees. 1t is expected
that the presidents message will be used
as an argument in favor of taking up the
Fulton bill regardless of the report against
it and Senator Fulton has given notice
that he will try to do SO.

Presidents Messaas.

The presidents message on the Harri-
man difficulty follows:
1.-THE recent decision of the supreme
court of the United States in Hartman vs..
the interstate commerce commission seems
to render advisable further legislation in
the way of amendments to existing law
which will confer upon the interstate COM
merce commission so far as the congress
has constitutional power to do so the au-
thority claimed for it in the case recently
decided against it by the supreme court.
Mr.. Justice Day, in determining the dis
senting opinion. concurTed in by Mr.. Jus
tice Harlan and Mr.. Justice McKenna,
says in part;
which congress has conferred upon the
interstate commerce commission is one Of
great Importance and while, Of course,
it can only be exercised within the con-
stitutionai limitations which protect the
individual from reasonable searches and
seizures and unconstitutional invdsiOns Of
liberty. the, act should not be construed
so narrowly as to defeat its purpose,
Apparently the language of the act is
such that there is danger lest the last
mentioned result will unavoidably ensue
upon the construction placed thereon by
the supreme court and it IS therefore OBJ
vious that the congress should amend the
act and change the language so as to eX-
piicitly empower the commission to re-
quire by subpoena the attendance and the
testimony of witness and the production OF
all books and papers relating to any mat
ter under investigation and this by virtue
of the powers conferred by the said com
mission BY section of the law under which
Il is acting, or OF any act amendatOry
thereto, so as to aid it in aScertaining
facts upon which it can recommend any
additional legislation in reference to the
regulation of commerce that it may con-
ceive to be within the power Of congress
to enact.
Should Be Explicit.
81 further recommend that the commits
sion be explicitly empowered to postpone
the application of any increase Of rates
BY any railroad pending examination Dy
the said commission into said increase to
see whether or not it is justified. The reg
ulations of the railroad should be as com
pletely as possible in the hands Of the
commission. for it can only be rendered
effective by being put completely under
the control Of some branch Of the ma
tional executive, the action of this branch
to take effect Immediately.

Votes in Committee.

At the committee meeting there were
Senators Elkins, Aldrich, Keaa, Doiliver,
Crane, Tiliman, Foster, Newiands and
Taylor. Mr.. Aldrich moved that the bill
be reported adversely and Mr.. NeWlands
moved as a substitute that it be reported
favOrably with an amendment that would
leave to the discretion of the interstate
commerce commission whether protest
against a proposed increase of rates should
operate as a stay until the reasonableness
Of such increase had been determined.
On Mr.. Newland's motion to report the
bill favorably the ayes were: Dolliver,
Tiilman. Newlands and Taylor, and the
noes Elkins, Aldrich, kean and Crane,
with Foster not voting.
A vote was then taken on Aldrich's mo-
ton to report the bill adversely and the
chairman voted Senator Cuiiom by proxy
in favor Of the motion. AS Mr.. Foster
voted mo" a second tie resulted. Senator
Eikins said Senator Foraker was opposed
to the measure and he was authorized to
obtain the latter's vote.

UNITED STATES TREATY
WITH COLOMBIA PENDING
Congress of Central American Coun.
try AdJourns Without Document
Being Presented to It

WASHINGTON, Tee 13.-The state
department has been officially notified
of the adjournment of the Colombian
congress to meet again June 10.
The treaty between the United
States and Colombia, which was
signed in this city January 3, was not
laid before the congress, as it was we'll
understood II presented it would have
been rejected. This was one of three
treaties between the United States
and Panama, the United States and
Colombia and Panama and the canal
zone following the secession of Pan
ANA.
In urging the adoption of these
treaties tine United States was actuat-
ed only by a desire to put the gov
ernments of Colombia and Panama on
a more amicable basis, and, so far as
the United States is concerned, the
adoption or rejection of the treaties
is of little consequence.

Suffrage of Fair Sex

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-Emma Gold
man Is sorry for the poor deluded wo-

them free. She said so in about 1000
words of impassioned oratory over

by thunderous applause, but there was
no other demonstration on the part of
the audience of 500 persons.
The real trouble with woman, Miss
Goldman explained, is that she still
is a fetch witch worshiper and be-
lieves her idols can cure her ills.
THE women who want to vote"
Miss Goldman went on, ARE fond of
telling us what great things have been
accomplished in the states where wo-
men vote. They point especially to
Colorado. Well, 1 have been in Colo

of gloom, without hope of freedom
from federal prison, or whether the

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 13.-"There will be
no community of interests between the
Frisco and the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas railroads"
This statement was made today by
James Campbell when he returned
from New York, where he helped cons
summate the separation of the Rock
Island and Frisco railroad systems and
several other important financial deals.
He was elected to the Frisco direc-
torate.
"There could not be any community
interest between the two roads," said
Mr.. Campbell, because in many
points in Kansas and Oklahoma they
are COMPLETING lines. Their relations
will be harmonious, but this could not
be otherwise, in view of the way rate
regulations are handled by the inter-
state commerce commission"

LONG BEACH, Dec. 1S.-William
Clark, pharmacist. of this city. is
man with no more than the to-be-
expected amount of imagination. but
he had an experience last night that
he will remember for many day:
Perhaps he had been reading the
story of Marley's ghost and Scrooge
in honor of the coming Christmastide'
Perhaps the painful consequences were
the result of a bit of underdone po-
tato, as Scrooge suspected the ghost
was.
AT any rate, in a peaceful and sober
frame Of mind William Clark betook
himself to his home and his bed as
usual last night, just the unlucky
thirteen number of nights before
Christmas eve, and sank into a mucn-
needed sleep. SO far as the RECORDS
show he was at peace with all the
world.

But in this sleep Clark had a vision
that was so real that he went into
action at once. He saw a burglars
head and face and a burglars eyes

There was no time for delay, with the
long line of Long Beach robberies that
had been reported, and Clark made
vicious kick with his good right foot
straight for the burglars nose
What Clark really did kick was the
face on a big calendar that hung on
his dresser near his bed.
The apparition disappeared and
Clark woke up TO find that one of his

showing at every step, but, like
